  1. You have to worry for them. If the booths did stop accepting their currency, many could be stranded here without funds. Many may cancel if they thought they could not exchange their money, and are they still selling USD/Euros in Moscow. The Russian rouble was not on the list for currency exchange when I was sat in the Bangkok Bank yesterday, It is on their internet list. It is still on the SCB internet page at 0.34 baht, used to be parity.

  3. I believe you are required to have a Non-Imm Visa to obtain a 5 year licence. Source.
  4. When the Russians arrive in Pattaya, are they loaded up with USD, or mostly bringing their sadly declining rouble with them? They will be desperately trying to change their roubles into property surely, even at inflated relative prices. I still see what appears to be a lot of them making a home shopping in Homeworks and Homepro.

  10. I don't know, 6am not being my time to be out and about, but my guess is a vehicle owner may have given him a slap. FB members are mostly 14 year old girls aren't they. The locals were very tolerant in this case, but I don't think that is what generally happens. I once saw a guy get attacked for knocking a motorcycle helmet off a seat as he tried to squeeze through after exiting Nevada A-Go-Go. Intriguing how this guy was so well tolerated.
  11. Perhaps in NY or London he would have been arrested and removed. I once saw one very similar in the departure lounge at the Bangkok airport. I often wonder if they let him board.
  12. How about you go West on Chaiyapoon, pop into the Triangle Bar on the right for a beer, then go East on the road on the other side of the Triangle Bar, (known as Soi Xcyte although the Xcyte disco has long gone). That Rd comes out right opposite Bliss on 3rd Rd. Be careful not to get knocked down in your haste crossing 3rd Rd. Junction with a view.

  17. TV Movie... not allowed. (1996 one)
  18. The Usual Suspects. This white guy walks in about one o'clock, asks if we have a discount for alcoholics... I tell him to get lost, but Marty's sitting here listening and I can tell he's thinking that maybe it ain't such a bad idea.
  19. Having a bit of cloud and rain this week.

  22. Lock stock and 2 smoking barrels..... And along those lines..... Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible cunt... me.
  23. There are still many many beer bars. Although those in the Walking St area have surprising prices for a beer and a ladydrink...similar to GoGos. Beer bar areas have sprung up in new places to replace the old areas that vanished, not so many on Beach Rd now, Some are centres for very low prices (New Plaza). Soi 7 still has a lot too. Bar Fine prices.... beer bars can be 300-700 baht, an LT 1500-2500, again beer bar. GG Bar prices, Check this out. It is going to be busy in January..... try using Agoda or Tripadvisor to get an idea of availability. Maybe Nova Park?
