As BB as shown ,look for that sign if your bike is 5 y/o, there is one on Tai but I'm sure many others . in and out quickly. I have also sent my lady to Mitiyon and they deal with everything. Now upcountry I find my 160cc lacking. I love the Bike Porn thread and am thinking a new CBR.

Thanks Evil, Thanksgiving dinner is always a big deal in our large family in Annapolis with people coming from around the States ,me from Thailand on Wednesday to prepare food., My task- sausage stuffing and fried hard crabs for the night before crowd. Here it is more Christmas .All the choices look damn good and i bet fine quality and thanks for posting the menus. There was a bar in Bangkok that had a free Christmas Dinner, American owned with wonderful spirit. Sadly i cant remember the name. Indeed Merry Christmas to all on Pattaya Talk. Including my good friend Howard the Jew who is fine

Pattaya Area Construction Projects
sailingbill replied to forcebwithu's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Good point, sounds silly but up country i watched birds building a nest, interesting. There is a small forest across from my house and a good view. Pattaya is what it is and i love it but a bit of greenery makes a wonderful thing. Easily done too. I lived at Northpoint for 6 years which was landscaped by Noon Nuch and brilliant. -
To me the remarkable thing is dramatic improvement can be made in air quality and general well being. When i was a young kid the sides of main roads and interstate highways were littered with a foot of trash. Then laws enacted and enforced, an ad campaign had an American Indian standing by a road side, tear running down his face looking at the mess. Private companies formed adopt a highway where they cleaned portions. At one point we had rivers catching fire. The Clean Air act of 50 years seems to have worked. Particulate matter has been reduced by 40-70%, lead reduction 90%. Not at a

Having moved upcountry and baffled, gobsmacked? from Thai Behavior i agree with Jacko. We are confounded by their norms but their country their Mores . I am sometimes ready to say fuck this, my TGF saying Jai yen. Then acts of kindness and selflessness keeps me here. The occasional bottle of Sake from Central helps. My monthly trips to Bangkok /Pattaya helps. BUT heed jackos observation. your complaining will be look upon differently than in the West . Pause and pick your battles.

Disabled mobility scooter hire
sailingbill replied to Catrina's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Catrina i will be in Pattaya in 2 weeks. Im at Fascino for restocking so will get prices and the possibility of a sell back and post if you haven't an answer by then. Just to add Bolts(taxi) are cheap and plentiful now. I've used them even for going a few blocks when im toast. If the scooter doesn't work out consider a day hire as it sounds he can get around shorter distance on his own. -

Per Kilo, had Chesapeake steamed crabs occasionally when i lived on Wongamat. Missing those upcountry -
Thanks Force, just moved to the village and had an excruciating experience withdrawing my social security money from BB the lady didn’t want to do it as I needed passport update which could only be in Pattaya!! My TGF prevailed but said we can’t do that again. I’ll have to go Patts in November. I need to find another way. When ACH was essentially useless I switched to DD. Now maybe DD to Schwab and wise to BB. I have a wise card but I’m not really familiar but perhaps a solution

Overwhelmingly i book directly with the Hotel or Airline. No price difference at least from American sites. Yes booking sites work fine most of the time but when they dont i could tell the stories, but you can imagine. Go over to Flyertalk forum to read some of the difficulties. The airline gate agents are delighted you booked with an agency if it goes tits up. Oh , tight ,missed connection, call Expedia or whoever.

If i could piggyback. I have a house in Khon Kaen, moving there next month. The Gf wants to put my name on "the Book" . Told her i didn't care as if she kicks me out ill just go quietly back to Patts. Is there a reason, immigration advantage? that i should pursue this?

Yes thanks firth and Broughton. We know about these things though we didn't live it. And now probably to old and secure to fight back if they emerge again. On his next visit ill take my son to Kanchanaburi. I won't be a tour guide but visiting the Museum and Cemetery ill just let him look and hopefully understand it never ends. Never forget has become a bit trite to the next generation. They will forget but hopefully aware it can happen to them.

Thanks for the photos. Made the rounds this past weekend and pretty much echo your findings.Drink prices are a bit high, i paid 140 baht for a rum in simple beer bars on Soi Honey and Diana. Bar fined a beer bar girl ,one from Kinks, and used the ST room at TQ twice. Usual prices. Lips,Pandoras and Angels were disappointing but don't take that as a review. We know there could be a completely different vibe in only an hour. Destiny and upstairs at Kinks were our favorites. Taught some girls to play Craps which they really enjoyed though i realized throwing dice with money scattered on the tab -

It didn't turn out well, now celebrated on my seawall if at all.
