    A Very Good Taxi Service

    in General Discussion about Pattaya

    Posted

    Hi there,

    I just used a new taxi service and it is very good.

    I used Mr Toom for over 10 years and for a while after he died (I'm told by his family - from booze - RIP Toom).

    After a two year break I decided a fresh start was in order.

    Nams Taxis was highly recommended to me by someone on TVisa: All lady drivers, good cars. I gave her a try.... Excellent !

    Good service. Fair prices. On time. Good quality cars Attention to detail. Couldn't ask for better.

    Here are her details - Links

    Good Curry House in Central Parts

    in Restaurants and food

    Posted

    Hi.... does anyone know of a good Indian curry house in Central Patts? I used to like the one in the Papagayo arcade, but the chef left about 18m ago and his Burmese replacement wasn't so good.

     

    Tried one up near Central but the ambience was pretty close to zero.

     

    I need my biriyanis and vindaloos !

    Interesting Trip to the Local Clinic

    in Doctors, Dentists, Clinics and Hospitals

    Posted

    I went to my local STD Clinic in Oz for my annual check up today. No symptoms... just a good idea I reckon for all sorts of reasons.

     

    My Doctor was a very pleasant middle aged woman. Asked me the usual background questions... she told me that there was no point in testing for gonorrhea... why not asks I .... cos if you've got that you get a copious (discharge) of greenish stuff... even if its a light dose, you still get the discharge. OK says I.

     

    We should test for syphilis she says. Why I ask, I haven't had any spots or lesions on my Dick. Because it's highly infectious and about 30% of people who get it are asymptomatic (they don't have any symptoms) and it sometimes gets you where the condom finishes. Oh... news to me !

     

    Lastly, I tell her no need to test for HIV.... I don't want to waste gov't money and I only had a condom break once or twice. And the chances of getting HIV on a single instance of unprotected sex with someone who has it is very low. Yes, she says. Only a one in a thousand chance for men.

     

    Then she changes topic. You buy lottery tickets? she asks. No, is my answer, don't waste my money. I'm sure you would if you had a one in a thousand chance of winning she says. Got me !! You bet I would... so anyone here who buys lottery tickets.... there's a lesson here ....

     

    Smart Lady !

    Indian Tailors

    in General Discussion about Pattaya

    Posted

    For tailors and similar annoying people I just you my "ignore mode"

    I just do as if they were not here. I don't hear them; I don't see them and more don't look at them, just look strait in front of me. That does not stop some of them to try again to stop me but without any reaction from me they understand quickly they have nothing to expect, and I don't lost energy to talk to them.

    I tried in the past Baht's method, but some of them seem to have no or bad memory...

     

    After living many years in Africa... the no see, no hear, no hesitation in pace technique has become so natural to me that I'm very rarely bothered by the tailors. Rule number 1 is.never make eye contact... if you can do that you're more than half way there. Oh, and put your hand behind your back if they look really intent on grasping yours. Yuck !

    Thanks Frogster, that was a good recommendation. Don't get put off by the know-it-alls ... the info you provided was good quality, it was new-news and was good enough to enable people to make a choice / find out more. Good stuff!

     

    It would be good to see your Trip report...

     

    Cheers Mate !

    The Irish Prostitute

    in Funnies Section

    Posted

    This may be an oldie. But I haven't heard it before.....

     

     

    An Irish daughter had not been home for over five years. Upon her return,

    her father cursed her. Where have ye been all this time? Why did ye not

    write to us, not even a line? Why didn't ye call? Can ye not understand what

    ye put yer old mum thru?

     

    The girl, crying, replied, "Sniff, sniff... Dad... I became a prostitute..."

     

    "Ye what!!? Out of here, ye shameless harlot! Sinner! You're a disgrace to

    this family."

     

    "OK, Dad -- as ye wish. I just came back to give mum this luxurious fur

    coat, title deed to a ten bedroom mansion plus a savings certificate for $5

    million."

     

    "For me little brother, this gold Rolex and for ye daddy, the sparkling new

    Mercedes limited edition convertible that's parked outside plus a membership

    to the country club... (takes a breath)

     

    ... and an invitation for ye all to spend New Years' Eve on board my new

    yacht in the Riviera, and..."

     

    "Now what was it ye said ye had become?" says dad.

     

    Girl, crying again, "Sniff, sniff....a prostitute dad! Sniff, sniff.

     

    "Oh! Be Jesus! Ye scared me half to death, girl! I thought ye said a

    Protestant. Come here and give yer old man a hug."

     

     

    :D

    taxi toom good service

    in Hotel and Accommodation Questions

    Posted

    I have used Mr Toom three times now... including a 5 day hire of car+driver.... good cars, good drivers and entirely reliable.

     

    But watch out for arrival arrangements at S-poom airport... easy for you to screw it up if it's your first time there. There's a thread in th Newbie Corner about this but my browser too slow today to find and post the link.

     

    Ciao... :D
