I am 52 years old, English and with pretty much a full head of hair.

I just want a short back and sides.

Anyone know of a hairdresser in Pattaya that can do this properly - I suspect one of the hotels would be easiest?

Each time I go the hairdresser they make me look like a chicken - short on the sides and leave this thick lump on top. Really annoying.

I have tried several places - no good and was going to wait until I go back to visit the UK in January.

But it gettting really long and getting on my nerves.

Any help would be appreciated.

I get an old fashioned short-back-and-sides from a barber shop on Soi Bukhaew. It is located about 50 yards away from Siam Sawadee Hotel, on the same side, next to a bar called the Stereo bar, almost on the corner of Soi Honey.

A haircut is 80 baht. Tip optional, I usually leave 100 baht.

I use the one next to the 7/11, intersection Soi Buakhaow and Diana.

They cut many westerners hair and I have always walked out happy.[

This is MUCH too extravagant. A typical Thai family could live several months on the tip alone.

Please stop spoiling it for the rest of us.

Eee lad I'd give my eye teeth to get my hair cut bushy on top

Thanks guys - I will try Soi Buakhaow after Loi Kratong.

Just keep things simple and tell them you want a number one. The last time I went to my barber the number one rake broke. I got a number zero. That's as close as the clipper will cut. Pretty short. My wife told me that I could be a monk because of that haircut. If you really want long hair on top, tell them a number two. That will be about a quarter inch long. Since my haircut in Nong Hin costs 25 baht I don't complain.
