How did you first discover Thailand?
jacko replied to captcraig2's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
A mate said let's go to Bangkok, it is supposed to be the sex capital of the world. And at that age it sounded like a good idea. -
So do we pick up from Apocalypse Now ????, or Wall St.... It doesn't matter.... Martin Sheen
-
Agreed, but with the early onset of the cooler nights, now is quite good too!
-
That's a thought, have the guys who herd the Chinese tourists across beach road started to use them? I have always taken exception to these self appointed traffic police waving me to stop.
-
You don't come across as too smart yourself.Nothing to add other than personal insults...... ? Your post above is grammatically incorrect.

I have a good friend who has a beautiful big house located just the East side of Third Rd. I wouldn't live there for a gold pig. There is a Karaoke nearby, which hardly gets any customers, but drunken howlings persist until 4-5am many nights. Even an enjoyable evening with the beers on his upper floor terrace was spoiled for me by this background howling. I live out in the sticks but frequent disturbances are common, dogs, funerals, Buddah days (the Wat and town council has a speaker system wired all over the place). Don't expect a peaceful life retired in Thailand unless you are deaf or can afford double glazing!

New Plaza... where is that? I don't think I have ever been, so it exhibits how much of what is on the board you absorb. I mentioned Mike Tyson because I wished I was as tough as him, as you wished you were as smart as me. Flattering by the way.... even if you forgot you wrote it so quickly. As Joe says you seem to take things too seriously, perhaps too much red meat in your diet...... Regarding this rainy season thing, ready to admit you dug yourself into a hole, or that I tore you a new one?
-
That is the tourist's fault.... you never start to move until the light has been green for several seconds! Same as other junctions.
-
It is early morning for me and I keep putting off getting ready and off out.Got to do the kratong floating thing later....... I hope it doesn't rain. And I wish I was as tough as Mike Tyson.......
-
Sad or pretty, are those right words or wrong words? Hard to know what you mean...sunny and hot outside right now, is it rainy season again?
-
Probably, yes agreed, in the above quote 'probably' is redundant. As to 'using the wrong words', well of course in can be important and is hardly a so what. Let me help... rainy season in the Pattaya area is defined as June to October, starting sooner and lasting a little later in the South. Evening downpours can occur during the hot season, March-May.
-
So now it just rains just for you.....?
-
I have always admired Crouch's efforts. But for the manager he just doesn't fit into that 'team' they try to create. He is that square peg in a round hole that the ball always bounces off into the net. Funny set of results so far this weekend.... Arsenal and Chelsea beaten. If City get the points at the Premiership's most southern team that should tighten the top up nicely.
-
Yes, but you said season, not rain. By your now flailing back-peddling approach it is rainy season all year....
-
I like to go along with the concept that Songkran is in the hot season......
-
Are you the guy on another thread having a serious argument with joe about who knows more about Thailand.....This is not doing your cred much good!

My old Nuovo cost me near 50k 3 years ago, or was it 4?I could have paid more for the alloy wheels and shit. When her old banger bike packed in, I bought a good condition, low mileage Suzuki step for 23k, it still runs great snd she uses it near everyday. I wanted electric start and a front disc brake for her. I like the 'known names' rather then these things put together here from Chinese bits..... Honda wave 125x in Carrefour about 40k.
-
Depends on make and model mate....... like anyplace else.

I topped mine up last night, added 300 baht and it totalled 602 baht. Validity 30 July 2011. How on earth they come up with that date heaven knows.
-
There aren't any trucks on Walking St at night. Why is it ridiculous..... ? It is happening and being accepted all over the world. Just because you smoke it is no reason to force complete strangers to suffer the smell and adversely affect their health without any regard. The smokers can surely move to a seperate area, since they are the ones with the habit. I am not the one telling them not to smoke in a bar, the law is. Good manners is. Consideration is. Common sense is. Self preservation is..... Apparently liberties apply to smokers and not those who prefer not to inhale the exhaust fumes of selfish inconsiderate addicts. It is specifically a problem when it is just 3 feet away..... I elect not to pass gas when people are that close....

New 38-50k.Second hand 20-25k, for one that will work and last a bit.

Strange, from their website... * Free call bonus worth 50 baht (valid for 30 days) which customers can check its balance via *121*1#Call * 30 validity days * Free trial period of Calling Melody service for 1 month (worth 35 baht). To sign up, dial *273# within 30 days of activation date. Top - up * Any amount of top-up will extend validity by another 365 days. Although it does say if you don't use it for 90 days you can lose the number.....link
