As it says, someone did get seriously injured.

Not even safe to drive on a golf course here!

It is blood from the golf cart driver (fawn trousers), who was pinned face down, with leg injuries. I have covered the faces and the injuries, for those of a sensitive nature.

According to Mr. Htet, the pickup driver, he claimed that he mistakenly pressed the accelerator instead of the brake after delivering goods to the hotel. This caused his vehicle to surge forward and crash head-on into the golf cart, which was transporting the two tourists.

I knew it couldn't be a Thai driver as they would have hidden under their mother's bed.

Claret?

Was the golf cart on a public road or hotel 'private' property?

Am sorry if I am of this topic, but most of you people on here have either residency or a real love for Pattaya, particularly Jontien. (Spelt right?)

I have been to Pataya once, a year ago and found it so amazing, not just sex, but calm and so beautiful people.

I am now applying for a visa to stay long term, I am 74 years of age so ladyboys and unbelievable sexy thai ladies , whilst would be good, too old for that. (Beer is good and better.)

So what I want is a studio, or maybe a one bedroom condo, cheap as, and i mean cheap, i can pay a year up front, if it is cool, but what I really want maybe close to beach but maybe a pool.

Real place is a close area to nightlife, for entertainment that is so I can have a few cleansing ales, talk with a few people,then an easy walk back home to what should be my home.

Make sense?
