If you pay enough you can walk on a deck on the outside on top of the bulb there at the top of the tower, 1,168 feet above the ground. CAD $195 apiece. Ropes and such included.

30 years ago people who voiced these types of oddball theories would have wound up in in the looney bin.

Flight 93 was going at almost supersonic speed when it hit nose first into solid ground. Pieces would be particles at that speed. Even if you follow the nutjobs and Alex Jones types that it was "a missile", it would still crash and maybe even the same way. The USA had the right to go after Al Qaeda and Bin Laden before 9/11 and only the sad and closeted conspiracy hounds would think the USA did 9/11 to that degree (one small building would have sufficed or no building at all, e.g. just Flight 93) and that somehow enough explosives to take down two buildings were planted by demolition ex

I was there tonight and she's there for sure. Actually every night I've dropped in this week.

Yes but with name tags you could take notes. Accompanied with hand drawn sketches, great system if you're an artist.

Yes there is a lady there who works in that role however I did not know her name. I was thinking BGs and really do not know any of their names either. No name tags and such.

I was there last night and have dropped in a bit over the last week and it's operating fine. Which lass is Ilene?

I ate there today. It just reopened after he had to go back to Vietnam for a funeral. Great Pho and 95 Baht for a big bowl of beef tenderloin is a good deal. Also flank, meat balls and then combos of two.

I spoke to the chap who owns Canterbury Tales and he said Buakhao is lower than 3rd road so Little Pattaya Creek will flow towards the sea when it rains. It is really a substantial trough vis-a-vis the business entrances. Also vehicles are now double parking mostly just on the paved road vs. the ground closer to business entrances, and thus the street is actually blocked worse than before with delivery vehicles and various morons. On the plus side it seems other little MPs and bars are taking advantage of the fancy pants road and opening soon, one next to next Amon shortly (and Amon's co

I went to the Soi for a bevy at the bookstore and can report the road surface is in pretty good shape but the method of paving has left it opposite what you would normally see, e.g. a road crowned in the centre. It's more like a shallow paved ditch with tapered sides and a depth of a good foot or so from the business entrances. I don't know if water flows towards Buaokow or 3rd road but a good rain should turn the soi into Little Pattaya Creek with all the water flowing to whichever end is lower. If it can't drain then I'd expect an hour or so the low lying businesses like Pat Massage may off

Missing still is the "lower" asking price. Full disclosure and all that. For $50 it's a risk, battery and the iOS problem. More than that a new Kindle Fire would be a better tablet for many. Good luck but this is just too obscure to make the effort for anyone to bother. Tips get someone with a phone with a better camers to photo front and back and actually say the price . Nobody wants to discuss via PM when the only disclosure is a too high price at the outset. They see hmmm...4 to 5 X value, I can't be bothered to offer 25% of that. You've listed it in half a dozen sites a

Well this is a user to This is a user to user forum. A lot of users , here for a long time. We share advice. You are the one with the 4X market value quote for an obsolete iPad that won't support current apps and will have a soon dead battery. Apparently it's all you have "contributed". I'd rather advise other users than worry one of your saturation ads is noticed as being a bit generous (to you). I see you have posted this on every Thai related forum and for sale site from Craigslist on down (maybe 7 or so) thus this user-to-user advice in this one forum won't do you much harm

I suspect the same. And I will be at the DTAC counter first, though I could fiddle with it waiting for my suitcase. Something I would like to know with DTAC is when you buy the 1 month/ X GB package (which I think was 5GB) they say something is allocated to SMS and calls but they don't say how much. If you add Baht to the account is that all towards SMS/calls? Assuming one runs out. Calls and SMS have mostly been superseded by Line/WhatsApp/Messenger and such locally and back to home. I am going to try the codes here at home now just for the heck of it. Nope no luck.

I have no idea of the local number (in November/December I honestly never made or received an actual phone call and made and received one SMS to/from my daughter so she could add it as a contact) , but I was hoping at the DTAC counter I can find that out, avoid the fee for a new SIM and the passport stuff and all that. Well, it costs nothing to ask them to scan the SIM and maybe I save three bucks.

You sure it's A1936 and not A1396? There is no A1936. The A1396 had 3G and wifi. (Though if it was originally Verizon there may be no SIM because they were 3G over CDMA which is useless, not that 3G is that great even on GSM) . If it is the A1396 it was discontinued 5 years ago and has been unsupported by Apple for nearly 3 years and only supports to iOS 9.X and thus will not run many apps which require iOS 11 or 12. For anyone thinking about it. Price on eBay is only around $50 (and those are falsely advertised with 4GB of RAM when in fact the iPad 2 has 512MB) so over $200 was pr

Any idea how long a SIM is valid once a month is up? I left early December, will be back March 15th, still have my DTAC SIM and just want the 5 GIG one month plan again.

If you understand arbitrage then yes it would however it's a factor among other things.

I wonder what sort of hijinks they worry about on a bike path if someone shows up with a bike? It is pretty obvious they don't plan to steal it. I rode just under 300 km in about 15 days of riding last month (some rain a bit and couple non riding days). I rented a bike from Venture Bikes just up from the police box from Jomtien Beach Road on Chaiyapruek. 3,000 Baht for 20 days rental prepaid, and a deposit of 1,000 but I only had 500 left after the prepayment so they accepted that. And a copy of your passport and where you stay. It was an OK bike but make sure they put a mirror on the ri

The banks don't so that 1/2 of the question is safe for you. Quick question as you're new, have you actually been to Pattaya or Bangkok?

Not on the pages, the chip is in the cover. And of course you remove the paper and the staple when leaving before the immigration officer takes the passport.

I find riding in the city is a challenge so I have tried to find low traffic back routes from/to RG including the sois behind the RG that run from 3rd road to Thappraya 15 or even Pratumnak. In the a.m. the Pratumnak sois 4,5,6 are reasonably sane and 5 goes down to the beach where you can walk the bike down to a beach sidewalk that goes to Dongtam (sp?) Beach then joins the official Jomtien Beach Road. Traffic is slow enough on Beach road that it's not bad for biking. I can't see riding 2nd road or Buakhow or Pattaya Beach Road unless super early like before 7 a.m. Here's a strange

I am renting a hybrid/city bike from them right now, over 15 days of rental it's 150 Baht a day which is cheaper than other cities where I've rented bikes and it's an OK set of wheels. Road bike with dropped bars is the same price, I think but I can't ride them with my back. Venture is up Chaiya Pruek about 100m from the police box on Jomtien Beach Road at the traffic lights, on the right side as you head up from the beach road.

Good one. See how many have been charged with walking patients to charity or public hospitals. Lots.
