It is....I think you are wrong.Mt T and Mr Toom charge about 1000-1200 baht including the tolls. A taxi will never use the meter (that would be about 900 baht+50 baht+tolls), and I have never done better than 1500 from the taxi stand. I have been offered 1000 baht taxi rides from downstairs. If you are hoping to pick up one that has just dropped off you would need to go upstairs.

It is a 50% increase, if his take home salary (or benefits) does that I guess he won't have a problem......

Nope.......

Pan Pizza, Big C.

Yes, that is what Soi Cowboy used to be in Bangkok.My last visit to Soi LK I was in Oasis... it was OK but seemed a bit disorganised. It was also smokey and smelly... and even there there was once a spell of scamming. But at the moment LK offeres an alternative....... good. I believe one or 2 WS places do offer similar beer prices, and the advantage of there bring more than 2 other places worth a visit and being on the baht bus route. And whoever thinks Cosy offers cheap beer must have been in a different one than I went in...perhaps Sweethearts?

What, no Peruvians..... You guys need to get out more.

Those are different nationalities.....? Now UK guys, don't forget England, Scotland, Wales......

Perhaps the grand plan is to get them to move back to India.....

Aha, a chance to go back in time.....Peter Ustinov

Kind of strange, here I am in Pattaya listening to my local UK radio station and over there you guys listen to Pattaya One...

The rules for non-residency these days are nigh on impossible. You really have to sever all ties, down to bank accounts. They are very quick to deem you non-resident for National Health services though. Whilst working overseas I have made some effort to ensure I still qualify for a full pension, but more recently they seem to deliberately be obtuse. I wish I had put the payments into the bank rather than the black hole known as the IRS.

The 350 baht fare is Pattaya to Bangkok, and includes pick up at your Pattaya hotel and drop off at your Bangkok one. More distance, messing about getting to your Bangkok hotel, more price.

Our mutual Stokie friend brought me a lump of your cheddar, and I think it is better than the last lot.Red Leicester sounds tempting.....

Well this chap was in all of them..... Michael York

The Silence of the Lambs

The Bounty

Yes I won 120 bahtr on that one at 6-1 outsider!

Charlie's Angels

Yes, if it was over 5% in the USA wouldn't it have to be called Malt Liquor and hence appeal to a completely different group? Chang's claim in LOS of 6.4% is +/- a bit...

There is often a small scale buffalo racing session out by Lake Mabprachan (Soi Siam Country Club) near the temple. If I remember it occurs during the Long Boat races late November.
