  1. Well for a while there was only the GO-GOs in the area now known as WS (Soi Diamond), plus of course TQ. There was also a lot of beer bars all the way down beach Rd. It was still Pattaya..... and it certainly was not boring. I might hazzard a guess that it was more intersting then... but that is likely me changing. But your point being an alternative to WS is desirable, and there used to be one before the Pattayalands changed gender, and that was conveniently near to WS too. Soi LK Metro is a bit far out, and last time I stayed in town I had a night there and went to my Soi Diana hotel relatively early ... the place died at 2am!
  2. Yes no point having any stunners when you can't see further than 5 ft and it smells unpleasant.Champagne has always been pretty full when I have gone but I have struggled to enjoy myself, a cheaper beer perhaps but the girls seem to stay away. It is far from being the best go-go in Pattaya, including the word 'possibly' is just being noncommittal. The Office might well be better than some on WS, but you cannot say it is as good as any, and certainly as many. If WS is a tourist trap, does LK Metro want to be an Expat trap?
  3. I spotted the painfully thin old Thai lady with the pasted face yesterday, haven't seen her for ages. She was stood in the middle of Soi Chaiyapoon with her legs wide apart fumbling in her pockets.

    Floods

    As MM states here around Pattaya we have been relatively unscathed, in fact other than the Sept 11th dousing (which I missed anyhow), not much rain. I would say the average rainfall in the area is down this year. Areas that are being flooded are also not necessarily in the rainy areas but in a river basin affected by rains elsewhere. I get regular reports from a few of her relatives and watch the Thai news regularly.
  5. I tend to agree, with a condo you should have the ability to put it into your own name (foreign owned). One that was in the allocated to Thais percentile would have to be somewhat cheaper to attract me. Owning it in a company name is no more risky than doing the same with a house, but in my case, I would trust the wife and buy it in her name.
  6. Somethings Gotta Give.
  7. Fuck off Joe....... You are such a sham!
  8. 56/68 C and H according to this....
  9. That was on Sophon only last week..... Snoop Dogg
  10. It was? Nice to have the power of God and amend your posts without leaving a trace!Who changed it in your quote?
  11. I heard that the Threppasit auctions have gone.... is that true...where are they now?
  12. Yeah, Gareth Thomas is a real mans man!
  13. You are correct...... I should learn to read properly!
  14. Back pocket, in a wallet, with a button down flap.If I am out on the piss I change the wallet and go out using one that only has cash in it, sufficient for the evening. It is more the fear of losing all the other crap like driving licence, bank cards, credit cards etc than cash. I only keep a bit in the house in a safe.... Much as I hate them I trust banks with most of it. Never ever wear jeans going out, too hot and uncomfortable. As a tourist I always had a place with a good safe, and never ever opened it in front of my amour de jour.
  15. I might say it seemed more like an Indian cafe than a restaurant.... Yes it was cheap, but I felt concerned I may regret eating there later.... As it was, no problems.
  16. Yes my first trip to Pattaya was only a few days and I actually brought a lady from BKK...well more accurately she brought me. On my next trip I seem to remember a few places in the Soi Diamond area already. Back then I came to Pattaya to clear my head after 4-5 crazy ones in Bangkok!
  17. When I last came in fast track came with my ticket....I was through immigation in 2 minutes, nobody ahead of us. My bags arrived at the other end of the hall so that was a walk back... and they came out about 5 minutes after and of I went. Regular immigration was teeming so I was very glad to get through quickly.
  18. I seem to recall it was there on my first ever trip...I think that was about 1982. Not sure if it was the only GGB in town back then. Perhaps you do... Memory seems fuzzy about those distant days. Sad to see the end of an era.......
  19. So why did you post another actor....amazing that some people jusst have to fuck around all the time?
  20. I went in there a year ago based on a recommendation here, it was crap.
  21. Yes, I have done that a few times and it is much quicker. Didn't have all the family with me though.
  22. ????
  23. I prefer fresh bread with my egg and bacon and I make sarnies without butter. The eggs and bacon should of course be greasy enough so as not to require it. I have come across a lot of people who use dry toast, I am guessing it is a Yorkshire thing.
  24. ASN?
  25. Serious answer, open your wallet and buy a few LDs. I am a conservative partyer and 4000baht is easy. Surely the 6k can go on barfines, massages, hotel, food and 2-3000LT.
