555 very nicely done.

Ooh lovely, a grammar and semantics thread, this should end up in Purgatory fairly quickly. I should warn nitpickers now that any attempt to censor me for e.g. ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put!

Have a good stay Martin, hope Pin can eventually join you despite what appears tantamount to a vendetta on the part of your Bangkok embassy.

I'm in Bah, Humbug! mood this year. I'm not going to spend around 1000 Baht per head crammed into some some place that merely serves turkey, some Xmas pud and a paper hat as a Christmas extra to what is actually nothing but a standard Sunday-type roast normally costing 3-500. Turkey may be expensive, but Xmas is bonanza time for restaurants at that price level, and few can cater for large number of customers within a short lunchtime period. Standard roast lunch somewhere quieter for me thanks.

More fake reports. Avoid hotels that charge joiner fees, there are plenty of others.

A nun is standing on a street corner minding her own business when a soldier comes puffing around the corner and stops. He asks the nun: Can I hide under your habit for a while, I'm a deserter and the MPs are after me. The nun agrees and the soldier disappears under her habit. Two MPs come running up and ask the nun if she's seen anybody in uniform running past her. "Yes, he went that way" and points. Off the MPs go. The soldier crawls out and says: Thanks a bunch for that, and by the way, you have a fine pair of legs. Nun: If you'd looked up, you'd have seen a fine pair of bollocks just

Lèse majesté. Outraged.

I just take my passport for 90-day reporting too. Last time in early October I timed it right and was in and out in just 3 minutes.

All I ever do is give them a photocopy of my rent agreement, never a problem.

Coo, they'll be here on St. Valentine's then, coincidence?

Yah boo, they missed out my favourite Bond girl - Rosa Klebb.

Yes, well written and it resonates very much. At 69 I ain't done yet either!

Welcome to the board Daryl. I teach WingTsun from home on a private basis if you're interested. Ring me on 08909 70156 and we can arrange to meet up.

Haven't been to Kiss on 2nd Road for at 6 years, but occasionally use the one in Naklua because the GF and her kids are quite happy to eat there. Agree that the food is inexpensive but mediocre at best, but a lot of Thai girls like it. The farang meals are definitely not worth ordering - the french fries are ok but meat tends to be of low quality reflecting the price.

I don't get the impression that posters are doing anything else but give Patna some helpful suggestions to supplement his own view of what's lacking in Sugarbaby. Obviously no criticism of him is intended, how could it be after 5 minutes in the job? Best of luck Patna, if anyone knows what can be done, it's very experienced you.

I don't think you should be a member of this forum but have slipped past the admins.

This one is called the lawyer's conundrum: You have billed an elderly, almost senile old lady $8000 for legal services after the death of her husband. She mistakenly adds a zero and sends you a check for $80,000. The conundrum: Do you tell your partners.

My daughter living in Houston has just told me they're waiting for the full effect to hit soon. Scary!

Simply fantastic how real that dragon is. Just watched episode 5, how many are scheduled? Another long wait for the next (final?) season I suppose.

All blackmailers and extortionists are by definition arseholes. Loving season 7, simply a brilliant series.

Good response sinbinjack, vote with your wallet. The stupidity really is unbelievable sometimes, as every low season gets even lower and customers are harder to come by, yet the scams on drinks and bins go on as before.

Sure it's supposed to be a drain in the pic, but heaven knows how clogged or useless it may be. And yes, private ownership of the soi may be the key to all this.

This soi has been a motorbiker's nightmare for years, with only the occasional effort to fill in the potholes with rubble/gravel as a stopgap measure. I believe Chaiyapoom has no drainage system, at least I've never noticed any drains, conduits or channels. That would explain the recurring surface collapse.

If the swimming includes any area within 200 yds of Pattaya beach, the diesel/petrol slicks and filth will do them in.

Reminds me of the taciturn POTUS Calvin Coolidge, who when returning from a church sermon was asked by his sister what it was about. "Sin" came the answer. "Well, what did he say?". "He was against it".
