  1. Surely you could manage without one of the cable channels? Likely True?

  3. Yes we get these things.... but every now and again there is a press report making a fuss over an honest taxi driver returning a wallet and passport left in his cab by a tourist. The Thais you will interact with in Pattaya are mostly not to be trusted. M/C... I usually use 2 when I go out, the first I always confirm the price, and usually it is 50 rounded up to 60. The latter, I rarely ask and he always seems happy with the 100 I drunkenly pass over for the ride Tai-Klang. Dangerous to get into an argument with one of these twats while his friends are around.....has anyone ever taken a rider's jacket details and made a complaint?
  4. In the UK press the contribution by Sir Ben Ainslie is being printed in bold. He does have a strong sailing history and the fact that a 8-1 deficit and what was looking to be a humiliating defeat for team USA was turned around after he came on board seems to confirm he contributed well. It was a case of American money and not-know-how! My only fear, since BigD posted this, will we see another Lance Armstrong kiss of death result in the long term?
  5. I accept that being a 2 storey house will improve the amount of land....... But whether 100TW is 'plenty' is debatable. I guess you are paying for the 'central location', I believe it is near the driving range on 3rd rd.
  6. I guess the land area is 100 TW ? Quite small for a house and pool.
  7. No...That.
  8. There are quite a few 'Free' ie unsecured Wireless networks to be had too. I was sat infront of a place and chatting to a girl using a notebook and she told me she had just logged onto free connection via Wireless. I did a quick speedcheck on it and it was 10/1 Mb.

  11. The Bible. In the beginning..
  12. Almost certainly. My regular dentist said they overcharged me by fitting an unnecessary precious metal crown. But she likes to sell me cosmetic things too.....
  13. Sounds like Villa.
  14. It isn't much more to use the Rung Ruen bus station on North Rd. Buses to Ekamai (Sukhumvit) or Moe Chit. They are full sized coaches and backpacks can go underneath.
  15. Yeah I had a crown done there. Not cheap! But a modern clinic with good facilities. Dentist was a pleasant young woman and they had a Philipina receptionist that could speak good English.

  17. Yeah.. odd that but at least it gives the older guys with limited funds an opportunity to remain here then! Personally if I am here at 65+ and cannot maintain 800k on deposit I would be nervous.

  20. I shall be there soon myself en-route back to LOS. Years ago, they were very anti photographs in these Middle Eastern airports. As airports go, I don't think much of AUH, now the new Dubai terminal is something else.

  22. The 'State' pension is £110.15 per week, about $175 or 5500 baht! Not enough to qualify for a retirement extension or Non-Imm-O.
  23. The Green Mile
  24. I bet Mimosa is biting into their profits... it is only 50 baht for Thais.
  25. LA Confidential
