I come from Street, can we have a Street street too?

Nice part of the world is Somerset

Maybe, on this occasion a Bridge Street is more appropiate.

...

Brits play dominos, David, not bridge. They also like indoor bowls, solitaire, whips and chains, chip butties (at the same time as the whips and chains), faggots (ditto), cups of lukewarm tea, pints of lukewarm beer and Coronation Street.

So there you go - call it Coronation Street. Best place in town to avoid.

Bridge card game is very popular in the UK....

The yanks can have a usa street?

The russians can have a russia or moscow street?

The aussies can have a australian street?

The dutch can have a holland street?

The indians can have a india or ghandi street?

Why do I always feel left out?

Costas, you can have an enclave off Thanon Australia ...... Soi Melbourne.

@cylon

Home sick? Not really but miss a few fimiliar things

But would be nice to have a traditional england street in pattaya

Soi Bukow in Pattaya was pretty much "England street" last time I was there. It is is overrun with chavs, skinheads, fish and chips shops and run down English pubs.

There isn't one fish and chip shop in Soi Buakhao never has been. Where are all the chavs? the over 50 something crowd that is 99% of the clientele along that soi? reall intimdating and scary.

How about a Sesame Street for all the muppets here.

@seastallion

Thanks for the reply

Yes like china town but i'm not greedy just a soi, then on the neighbouring soi, maybe russia street, or usa street, and the neighbouring soi , belgium street

We pay a lot here maybe a street or 2 is not too much to ask?

@ulyses g

Soi buakaw pattaya

Yes I have been there and seen the pub

Didnt see any fish and chip shops though

But in songkran I definitely saw the chavs

Wetting anything that moved

From 8 in the morning til 3am in the morning

But the lads were just enjoying their freedom nothing like that in the uk really.

Gladtonbury, notting hill carnival but thailands freedoms are much more and not so many police like in the uk

"But the lads were just enjoying their freedom nothing like that in the uk really".

I really don't know where to go with this, when I visit the UK I always feel as though I am 100% free and I also feel as though I am extremely safe and secure, I'm unclear why others might see things differently. Perhaps you can explain why? And if your answer involves snooping, my reply will be that I'm OK with being snooped upon, anyone who is trying to protect me has the right to check and make sure I'm not doing anything bad, if I'm not, I have nothing to fear.

how about a little Britain street in pattaya for british pubs.

representing WALES,THE FAT COCK [MONMOUTH]

representing SCOTLAND,DIRTY DICKS [ENDINBURGH]

representing IRELAND,THE COCK TAVERN [DUBLIN]

AND NOT FORGETTING ENGLAND,WHERE THERE ARE MANY THE COCK AND BULL.

Ahhh....now I know why they call you meatboy.

The lads, LOL, nothing more than 2 week millionaire chavs, pissing off everyone who lives here.

Songkran sucks.

Buy a condo ,this you can own

Can we have a Soi Halfwit? Then make all those that post stupid topics live there?

There were at least 3 on the side sois, a few yards away, last time that I was there.

@rgs2001uk

2week millionaires, lol!

Yes there is definitely that element of it

But what can we do?

We have to relax and let our hair down.

But its a bit sad that everything revolves around the pub and drinking heavily

@greg 71

Thanks

The condo is our only real option

The are other options i'm considering too

But time and money will tell

A real English street is now a toss up between Indian, Pakistani, E.European plus many more folk not from England. Soooooooooo, think we must go back to the times of Agatha Christie novels to find a real English street.

@pattszero

Soi halfwit?

Good idea! You can live at number 1

We are stimulating intelligent and interesting conversation and idea sharing

Why do you have to spoil it by calling people halfwits?!

It would probably be easier to change the name of England to Sukhumvit or Soi Nana.

@clutch

Good one!

Change the name of england to poland?

Or zone 4 in the united states of europe

@ulyses g

After I sent my reply I remembered I did buy fish and chips but not from a chip shop but from a kind of bar establishment with black stools

The staff were thai 2 horrible women who I could tell hate farang

They couldnt speak any english and just pointed at pictures of the food.

A british man appeared he seemed to have some kind of authority.

He told the women to make sure I got mayonaise and kethup with my food.

The man then put it in himself to make sure.

I gave the woman 155 baht she seemed to be counting the money forever, like she wanted it to be more.

I said thank you.and walked out into the night! 9.30pm

I walked in the direction on sawasdee hotel

I heard shouting behind me the woman came running with the money in her hand like I was a thief?

I said its 155baht isnt it? We both counted the money in her paws and it came to 155 baht

She didnt say sorry but knew she was totally in the wrong

Horrible greedy bitch!

This is an intelligent and interesting conversation?

Man, I rest my case.

Walking Street in Pattaya could be renamed into England Street.

Why? On the rare occasions i venture there it seems to be populated mainly by Indians, Russians and people from the Middle East.

Forget England Street,

I want Nelson Mandela Avenue!

Side sois ain't Soi Buakhao. <div>

I suspect the Thais have a hundred million other real priorities to work through.

I'll settle for a no pothole street!

Forget England Street,

You have that already, take your pick from Suk soi 3, 5 or 13 in Bkk.

Screw that lets just call the whole area soi Africa, on second thoughts soi Engerland is probably correct, a little bit of Brixton/Toxteth has been transported to Bkk.

Side sois ain't Soi Buakhao. <div>

It's close enough, but thanks for signing off with your nickname back home.

The last time I looked on Sukhumvit Soi 23 in Bangkok there was a fish 'n chip shop and little further down the soi a pub called The Queen Victoria.

It's beyond Thai Visa's capability to change the street names in Thailand, OP will just have to approach Thai government and suggest street name changes.
