I like to sit at the front as you get there sooner.

Unforgiven.

Well last year it was certainly a crush getting back from Bali Hai towards Walking St, but my solution was to duck into the first GO-GO.Hardly an issue for me.

Susan Sarandon of course.

That post reminds me of a Charles Dickens character.

Seen them up in the trees on the beach, had a great laugh once when one of those green ones fell down near some guys on deck chairs. Now that I have moved out of town and have a garden I see them all too frequently.

Nobody mentioned traffic other than you.Sure Pattaya is a mess on that score, inhibited somewhat by the sea on one side. It will be busy over this weekend too. Bangkok is hardly easy to traverse..... unless you are a sardine. Pattaya is a good place for a NYE. That is all I said, before, as usual, in you came, nipping and picking. With a similar minded friend. There have been fewer bombs going off here than in BKK too!

Post a few pics with prices.....

I went in last night and would like to report SUCCESS. The first server gave me the usual Thai shrug and confused mouth agape look... but there was a more attentive lady with a spark behind her eyes who seemed to home in quickly and she knew what Pattaya Internet meant! I got 2 bottles of Heiny and the tab, which took a while to sort, arrived, I was charged only for one. It was quieter inside last night, perhaps being Thursday not Friday like last week, (it will be murder getting around town tonight with the fireworks competitions). I also was pleased that both beers arrived suitably chilled and resplendent in a 'condom'. I looked around and quite a few guys seemed to be nursing 2 drinks, although mostly drafts (2 for one on a 59 baht draft is just too cheap!). It was near 10pm so I don't believe this was happy hour goings on, perhaps I was surrounded by PT members. A girl with a large frontage joined me, but soon went to dance, and another very appealing young lady with a natty short haircut plonked herself down. I had 3 lots of 2-4-1 beers, and bought a few LDs. The tequilas are rather tiny, near derisory, but the girl was thoughtful enough to order something else later, something more enduring, before she had to go do her 'stint'. So I had a good hour, the bill was reasonable, and I was suitably pleased. The walk to this place is a little off putting, particularly as I started out at Klang, and again beach road is choked up with market stalls selling crap and hard going. Walking St itself is getting that peak season look. X-Zone needs a neighbour, those steps are off putting for an old guy like me. The special deal for PT members needs a bit of ironing but perhaps we are getting there. Word of mouth doesn't work well in LOS, employees need to be told what is required each day and reminded often!

Yeah, it was dead easy to get out of the Santika club.

Me too, all those years stuck in the Middle East at Christmas did that to me, vacation timings never allowed me to go home.Now I arrange gifts using the internet and that is the end of it. Flights too expensive anyhow.

I thought they just waved the bottle over a glass of ice cubes and then filled it with water and soda?

And my elderly aunt had her walking stick kicked from under her and her bag stolen at the ATM by a young Brit. Yours was likely a foreigner.

Come to Pattaya, they put on a good show.

I have posted my experiences elsewhere on the board... but to recap.Yes, I got a warm beer (SML), then a second warm beer (both returned). A cold one was found for me, but that was it, no more left for a second, so I went onto draft with ice cubes in it. Getting a supply of Leo draft is one thing, getting bottles into a fridge more than an hour or so before opening should not present a challenge.

I think it is difficult to get staff to implement these types of things. The language barrier, stupidity, drunkensess all play a part. For me if draft beer has run out I doubt the place would be doing well, as I was unable to get a cold SML at 135 baht!

I am confused where are this is coming from, suffice to say you are true to form.

I have never laid a finger on her, noxious of you to suggest otherwise when you know little of me.I did not ask you to initialte your shit with me yesterday, but you did, as usual. Perhaps you are the one missing the Mrs. I posted where I saw required items in Pattaya. Other than that, go fuck yourself.

Good, then why are the shelves in Pattaya not back to normal then clever-clogs?Are you denying that there are plenty Bangkok residents here on this holiday or just venting gas? Back to OP, Foodland on Klang, Tesco on Nua. Mind you I bought a chunk of them!

They were certainly at least second to Qatar when I went through there in September, has something better opened there since?Or is this superior terminal somehow a secret? I just followed the signs for transit passengers, crushed through a security check, funnelled through a duty free shopping area and then head for the Biz lounge (up the stairs or lift). There were hardly any seats and I had to go to the bar and ask for a beer. A far cry from the superior service of being taken to a dedicated large premium lounge building in Qatar.
