Upsets me? You have 45000 AUD and you class yourself as "Elite" 😁

 

How much do you think Aussies aged 60 have in their Super account?

I can assure you I have 20 X your 45000 Australian dollars in my Super account and I don't even have or want a ELite visa 

 

 

 

Is that it? £450k gbp at age 60 🤣

I added +£300k gbp last month!

The generalizations are under attack.

 

 

In respect to this comment that was made, I was under the impression that Jomtien was the go to destination for Pattaya region  LGBQTS2+ people, like the happening place for older gay men. Why then would there be women in need of care? Has something changed in Jomtien?  I have been to Pattaya, but not to Jomtien, so I may very well have the wrong impression.

 

 

Wow. I find that Hua Hin is as expensive as Bangkok and more so on higher end things. For example, the quality hotel brands like Marriott and Dusit have higher rates than comparable hotels in Bangkok. It is understandable though since they are on the beach.

It is all about economy of scale and Bangkok offers that.  Bangkok also offers a greater selection of products, the big BUT is you have to know where to go and how to negotiate to get the  lowest prices in Bangkok. Cocktails at most decent restaurants in Hua Hin are 120-150 baht.  Night life is certainly better in Bangkok. One can go from a string quartet  soiree to a ripping good dance club very easily. Not going to happen in Hua Hin or Pattaya.  Pattaya tourism  targets lower end foreigners and regional convention/seminar clientele. It's pricing reflects that.

 

The silent killer now for Pattaya is the traffic congestion. It is not improving. The congestion has added a cost to staying in Bangkok and it has destroyed Patong.   Hua Hin is no better in high season.

 

i stayed in soi 70 in hua-hin. I dont need more then a bed and a balcony.

sukumvit soi 22..

the corner bars there ? I would say that's quite normal prices, but 60 baht I would worry about what they actually serve you in the drink. Anyway, copy liquor is everywhere in Thailand, so there is no guarantee. In Bangkok there is many nice places who have happy hour or hours, i

Back to Jomtien and I am happy! Fresh air (or fresher), less noise and beautiful beach front to walk.

I am in heaven, again.

 

I miss many gals I met in and around On Nut and Bangna. I hope they come to visit.

I found bus stops along the route from Ekkamai. They seemed to think "no problem" to take a bus.

Try that in the ol' USA! They'd spit on you.

What a bunch of nonsense.

You're an old retired guy, right? ...You're invisible around here
