  1. Unfortunatley not a chance there either, the only thing i could do and have done is make the police report and hope to see him again one day, i can then call the police and they will ask him to the station to give his side of things,unfortunatley for him he has incriminated himself and i still have the evidense,so i hope to see him again and ...... according to the lawyer i can screw him for compo also, so i hope to see him one day. The only way a person can be stopped at the airport in a situation like mine is if i had taken him to court and a judge passed an order to hold him or an order for an arrest, but time to move on and get on with the most important things in pattaya
  2. Road works complete, there are still some road works over the mountain on the north side but not much
  3. thats it dusa, you done me up, im stuck for words, you eatin at my favoriye rib place and it aint cheap either, so your not the cheap charlie we thought you were or were you jus celebrateing because you won your challenge, any how the ribs are great there and its a nice place to eat day time or night time
  4. yes we asked and were told tomorrow on the 15th, i thought at 1am it is monday the 15th, but its not a problem, i thought they might have changed the prices last nite at midnite , they should have really it was still very dull in there
  5. i was in there last nite at 1am and it was still 110 baht a bottle, dont rush in here, unless lots were barfined (which i doubt) the line up last nite is a bit like the telly tubbies on stage
  6. Never mind the hungarians, better watch out theres a dusa about
  7. its not the end of the world is it?? so they are asking or even telling you to go some were specific, so what , you could always be back in freezing cold ,pissing with rain europe?? were would you rather be?
  8. not sure what that question is doing on this forum but,,,,,,,,, yes you can use the tee again, technically its called an air shot and it counts as one point , if the ball comes off the tee and you put it back and hit again it becomes your 3rd shot
  9. an interesting post?? ive played golf many times as im sure has many other bms here and never had a problem with a caddie like this, ive met up with caddies after golf for some fun but never had a problem there either, why was the score card not clipped onto the stearing wheel of the cart you were in or why didnt you just ask to see the card me thinks there is more to this than we are being told
  10. is there any specific reason she wants to come to thailand, a friend of mine was teaching english here last year and only got 15000 baht per month, he went onto korea and is now earning 100000 baht per month, maybe she can search for better paid opportunities around asia first and maybe move to thailand after some experience teaching in asia, just a thought
  11. Hub , why would i have egg on my face?? Our point was clear enough, we were prepared to wait for our food, we understood it was busey, but waiting for a long time only to get 5 out of the 14 meals ordered was not good enough and then to find the food was cold and on cold plates was even worse.All of the people in our group went there on the strength of the advertised menu for xmas day which was changed over nite, and to see pete say he only had a few complaints is just poor, to total there were 14 on our table , 4 guys from ireland one side , 8 on another side and i believe 22 behind us, theres 48 for a start, surely pete should have been walking around himself seeing that at peak times its all going as well as can be , in stead of sitting with his chums for 30 minutes who happened to come in after us yet get there food before us?? ladydrinking; i never brought any drink into the bar, it was someone else, thats shows how much attention was being paid all said and done we all have been customers of petes before and now, and sincerly want him to succeed in anything he does, he is a really good guy who works hard, i think he will learn from his mistakes and i think and hope the food issues will be sorted out so we can ALL post positive things in the near future
  12. Ozzie And fisherman , sorry for the lack of posts , what with the holidays a few people have been away etc, but yes this is still on every tuesday and you are all welcome to come join us for a fun day out, generally the worst you can play is the better choice but if you want to play with good golfers you can do that also in our group, we have some good players and we have some awfull players but it dont matter one bit, when you want to play just pm me or hawaii bob and well give you more details that you want about transport etc
  13. Some 14 people including myself went in last nite for the set menu xmas dinner only to be told "no hab" so the menu had been changed after just one day to a order seperate starter , main and desert menu.This wasnt so bad but to be told 40 minutes plus is just unacceptable, however, we decieded to stay and wait and be patient. After almost 1 hour some of our food arrives STONE COLD, when asking for the gravy it was like talking to the moon!!! another five minutes go by and the gravy arrives STONE COLD and to be honest the food on the plate was very very poor and certainly not enough of it we noticed other customers arriveing who are friends of the owners sit down not far from us and they order food and get their food before the rest of our table get theirs!!!!! To the left of us 8 people sit down to dinner only ordering burgers etc and have to wait nearly 1 and half hours. The priceless picture would have been the two ladys haveing a 30 minute sleep at the table whilst waiting for their food. I think the most dissappointing thing was that when told about it, pete the owner, just didnt seem to give a shit, and tried to palm us off with a bottle of cheap wine.The best thing was the fireworks across the bay. Now to be constructive;Wake up and smell the coffee You clearly are under staffed, your staff are under trained and your manager is totally useless, you need a big BIG laxative in this place, your kitchen is undersized and under manned, clearly not enough food preparation is done before hand.But most importantly, if you are the owner, walk around your restaurant more often and see how many pissed off customers are asleep or waving their hands about in despair and do something about it instead of just sitting with your friends, it really looked and seemed like you just didnt care Perhaps it would be a good idea to employ a farang manager who has experience in this field,and take the thai food off your menu for 3 months or so,this is also just as poor, so that the staff can learn about what service and customer relations are all about, so many of us like you and your bar and seriously want to see you succeed, but you have got to make serious changes and stop thinking its all ok
  14. me and some friends went in the other nite and asked for sandwiches and were still told 45 minutes!!!!! how long is it gonna take for a xmas dinner
  15. the cost of the gardener and the pool clean to be included was their idea not mine, i hope he does come back, i really do, i really really do
  16. thanks frosty, you can only get the guy thru the civil courts after you have made a police report , which i did, the lawyer told me to do this as it puts me in the driving seats.I have to be lucky and hope i see him again one day in pattaya and i can then have him arrested.He then has to prove himself innocent,which he cant as he incrimminated himself with his email to me.Once at the police station , he has the opportunity to pay what he owes, including compensation to me, which to be honest is not likely to happen I had hoped to get him stopped at the airport , but you need a court order for that, so realistically he got away with it, so i have to put it behind and move forward, which ive done. For anyone wishing to rent out a property here or at home i would recommend you always sign conracts and hold deposits(2 months) and always keep a small diary of events to remind yourself should something go wrong.And always always always, here in thailand if your involved with the police and you are wrong--admit it and pay up, but if your right , stand your ground,be polite ,dont shout and you will win
  17. I guess it was just over two years ago when i deceided i wanted to buy this particular house.Its in what i consider a great location and the house itself is very nice and has everything i could ever wish for.I thought initially at first just to try to rent this house on and just sit on the asset until such time it is worth selling on.I never did anything with the place for several months other than use it for a secret meeting place with some fit looking girls for an afternoon of bonking. Then in October of last year i decieded to try to rent it on, i contacted a few agents who came , took pictures and advertised the place.To my real surprise it was viewed many times within a short space of time , but i never felt comfortable with the people comeing around so i refused them.Eventually i meet this couple from Finland who shall remain nameless.They were late twenties and seemed real friendly and very happy, the woman had a job locally and the guy wanted a larger house to accomodate his computers etc.So i agreed to let them rent the place and a contract was signed for one year.In the contract these people had to maintain the pool and garden.After a month or so they called and said about an air con unit not working, so i went around at the time to suit them and arranged for someone to come fix the aircon unit.This went on for four months,something wouldnt work so i arranged for repair men toi come round to fix whatever was broken.Eventually one of the repair men who i know persoally aske me to come round and see for myself what the problem was with one unit.When i arrived he showed me the remote control unit.It was simply had no batteries and the tennat was constantly removeing the batteries.I noticed at this time that the grass hadnt been cut for months and the pool was green. I decieded to have a chat to my tennant and see what was going on.He told me he cancelled the pool guys and decieded to take care of the pool himself and it was perfectly ok (STILL FUCKIN GREEN) and that he cuts the grass every two weeks(even though its seven inches long) I was somewhat shocked and told the guy he needs to rectify the situation as he is responsible.Some two weeks later it was still the same so i decieded to send him a recorded delivery letter pointing out the breaches of contract and he had 14 days to rectify the problem.He rang me after recieveing the letter and said he had to return ti Finland to do national service and he had now paid the pool guys to take care of things so all was happy once more. After six weeks when he returned he walked in to the office at the agents and asked if everything was inplace for him to leave the house!!!!!! The agent said what do you mean leave the house?? youve been there for 9 months into a 1 year contract, so you cant just terminate your contract yourself.This guy went nuts and said that i had agreed to this and it was all set.The agent calls me and tells me and i tell him i havent agreed to this, nor will i agree to this,we had reduced the rent already to acceot a 1 year deal so i wasnt goning to let them get away with this.I went up tothe agents office where a really pathetic letter was waiting for me, telling me ive broken the contract, i pissed myself laughing.But i had to reply , which i did telling the guy politley that he had broken the contract and listed all of the breaches.Afew days later i get acall from the agent to tell me this guy has gone to see a lawyer.So i tell him fine he can do if he wants but ive already done that and im not worried about going to court. Afew more days go by and im playing golf and this guy calls me to want to smooyh things over.So i have a long talk with him pointing things out to him and makeing it clear that he wont be getting his deposit back, atleast not all of it until i can see hes cleared all his bills and taken care of the pool and garden etc. Next day i get a sms from him telling me he feels better now we have had a chat and cleared the air.On the thursday i get another sms telling me he has a seat booked for the tuesday to return to Finland and can i meet hime at the house on tuesday to hand back keys and disscuss deposit etc, to which i agreed. So as its tuesday , its golf day and after golf i check my emails etc and to my horror i get an email from this guy- now in Finland- telling me if i want the keys to my house to email him back and for 100,000 baht i can have the keys delivered to me.As some of you who do know me i took this very lightly and decided im just gonna kill the cunt, i fly round to the house(with spare keys) and enter the house.And yes its been wrecked.many things not broken but just thrown across the floor, piles of washing up and food left out everywhere, a real mess. I contact Rob at East coast real estate who is a real good guy who helps me with a locksmith, 9pm at niote , locksmith comes, changes 4 locks and costs 2600 baht!!!!!! Now ive got my house back the story begins and the big clean up starts. The next day me and my gf are at the house all day cleaning things and paying the 12000 bahts worth of unpaid bills when we get a call from a policeman wanting to see us about the missing keys to the house.First we think the girls in the office have called the police to tell them about it but they hadnt.It turns out this policeman was a friend of the tennant who had emailed hime to contact me to try to get the 100000 baht from.So i declined to meet him somewhere dark and eventually got him into pattaya police station were he prduced all of the letteres we had written to each other, he wanted to argue with my gf but eventually i had enough and without shouting at him( so he dont loose face) i told him i will be taking this matter to the civil court as that is were it belongs and i will call upon him to appear and tewll the judge how he came by all this info and how he may have the keys to my house that are now stolen property, at this point the sergent looked at him and asked him to go back to banglamung were he belongs, which he did and we have not heard from either one of them again.I checked the lawyer he went to and they told me they told him to go away as he never stood a chance. i now have a very nice family from th usa staying there and they are good people. so if you find your self the victim and you know you are right , dont be scared to stand up for what you know is right- even to bent policemen
  18. much depends on what you want and where?? ive stayed at the RG many many times and the staff still remember me after ive now been here a few years, Ib and his staff are the best, if you like quiet and peace but still want the quality you have there, you can talk to Ib and ask about the apartment block in jomtien soi 9, it was built byIb and the RG, its just like the RG but better, and i think they have apartments to rent for a longer term
