I stopped off for a bite in Rosie's last night and in came a Russian couple. They sat and looked at a menu and declined a drink while ordering. In fact they never bothered and got up and walked without a word leaving the table in disarray. I like to think language difficulties put them off. Poor Thailand, went to so much trouble getting it's people to have English skills and it now seems wasted!

Strictly speaking yes, but double is not the only 'multiple' option. I had a triple once, you pay for each entry. I agree it is often referred to as a 'double'.

I don't think there is much of an if or but about it.Their numbers will increase, it is looking pretty lucrative for Pattaya at the moment. They are getting into some of the GO-GOs, I only believe the drink prices or worry of a rip-off is holding their numbers back in the bar scene. (Perhaps in their own country those types of places are to be avoided....??).I also think you will see them well into what we traditionall call 'Low season' after all it is still pretty cool in Moscow in March! Previously they seemed to suddenly vanish but I am thinking not. Look also to seeing more Russian 'Expats', all this tourism brings with it a lot of support workers... If you go shopping at BIG C you often see them buying home building stuff. An interesting subject to discuss. It is a pity we can't get soem English speaking Russian to barge in here and ram his opinion down our throats.

So you are saying that within their own society social etiquette and manners never developed, and they all treat each other there with the same boorish pig ignorance? So having a meal out you get Tyler Duedon service (as per Fight Club) by the waiters in restaurants. I think I shall pass on a trip there then. It isn't impossible, I felt the same about the Chinese when I first went there, and my interaction with the early Pattaya tourist groups.Nevertheless I say people who deny the changes occurring in Pattaya have got their heads up their asses, or live in a limited circle.

The baht buses seem to be so full of late that I just take a motorcycle taxi now. I get to my destination faster. Sod the expense eh?

No I don't think so, long time ago. It wasn't very many though.

Is that every year too?

I see they have posted several notices about this around the place, conveniently located on the ceiling and the back of the girls heads.

They tried to make an announcement but I told her, 'Hey, that isn't a microphone, get on with it!'

Freelancer Bar Members Site. What is the 'Fake' meant to signify?

Well obviously some prefer Munich to Delhi.The increase in SQ Premium seats is interesting, perhaps more recent retirees having the trip of a lifetime, and Singapore being part of that itinerary. I would be pleased to see SQ direct return, but it failed before..... OP thanks for the post, interesting figures. Are the increases at the expense of Heathrow flights or just a general increase in numbers nationally?

Pure awkwardness.....How much is the customs likely to be? If it was more than the cost of the product, well I might say no thank you. As to the merchant, why does he have to reship?

From where, in Canada they didn't have an airport yet!
