Thanks for posting that information Mick. Nothing wrong with a bit more competition in town, hopefully bringing prices down. My last 'visit' to the Bangkok Pattaya it was really busy in there so impressions are there is enough business around. Is this the construction I see on the West/City side of Sukhumvit?

Yes but such mergers are often required to be approved by the monopolies commission and the reason being reduced competition in the market. I think it is now referred to as the Bureau of Competition.

Etihad are my preferred carrier of late in business class. They are better than Qatar and Emirates for me..... They offer a free limo service at both ends (but I live too far out at the Bangkok end for it to be free.. over 50km) Emirates do too, Qatar don't. The transit is normally OK, Qatar is awful as last time I was stuck in traffic jams going both to and from the aircrafts as you are bused. Scratch that if they have finished the long long delayed 'New Airport'......I think scheduled in April. Etihad is okay IF you are landing at the same terminal as your next flight, Changing terminals is no fun! Anyhow, I have a lot of miles with them and have reached Silver, can always use more of them there useless FF miles.

Hmm, I thought all buildings were meant to be at a set distance from any joint boundary...only a small amount like a metre or so. Let us know what you learn Mick.....but we all know the law and reality often are at odds.

The Iron Lady (I see they just found Philip Seymour Hoffman dead!!!!! Only 46 and a favourite of mine.)

More accurately, 65 talang wah would be about 260 m2 65 wah is about 130 m length.. Whenever you see/hear 'wah' used regarding land, they really mean talang wah. 65 talang wah is a pretty standard footprint on a small house + surrounds. My first rental was 70 talang wah on the other side of Sukhumvit. There are a lot of rental agents but not many detached houses in what I feel is central Pattaya. More if you are prepared to go onto the North of Pattaya Nua into Naklua. A great deal of choice over the dark side and prices drop substantially.

The Deer Hunter

Hmm, an email from a friend in Bangkok suggested otherwise with shots going off not far from his home. He was planning to stay indoors for election day.

A wah is a unit of length, about 2 metres. I believe it comes from 'wa' meaning to outstretch one's arms..distance between fingertips. Area is measured in talang wah, square wah, 1 tw is about 4 sq metres. There actually aren't many detached houses in central Pattaya...... Shop houses yes. You could be paying 20-30,000 baht/month...use the internet.

I stock up and stay around the house mostly.

Coincidentally a friend of mine who is far from being a CC mentioned this place Wednesday night. I said I had read of poor food (from here). He said the food is fine, the beer is cheap and cold, great place. I can agree the posted pic is unappetising, but my pal had no reason to up the place whatsoever. Being packed does NOT indicate good food..... free food works that way too.

Barbershop.

Likely requiring some electric wiring and consideration how the bedroom AC is connected to the condenser and drain.

Billy Joel, Dylan, The Boss. Quite a few in those ranks. Here is one with some unknown English puff in a Syrup.

Sorry to be pedantic, but if they had separate bedrooms they would not be studios I think.

Father Scot, mother English.

Yes, and was born in Highgate.

No consulate available according to this list. So it is PP or perhaps fly into Thailand.

I read a Daily Mail (UK) article where Eddie was a big hit with the women and had to beat them off with a stick! I read the paper version but here is the on-line one.
