I just booked a room in BKK using Agoda
yorta2 replied to Chester007's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
I also think they should be in the bathroom, but I have stayed in hotels all over the world and this is pretty common. I just wondered why anyone would think that swans on the bed would be normal, particularly when they are made of towel material. You have learnt much on this trip, Chester, and your next one will be much easier (or will it?). -

Chester said, "Not towels either (Edit: Seems there are towels). Didn't notice what the two swans with necks forming a heart were made out of our towels. Trust a female to figure that one out.!!!" You are taking the piss, aren't you? -
New Jomtien night market ( Under View Talay 5 )
yorta2 replied to Gabor's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Thanks Gabor - it all looks pretty good! -
Personally, I just love doing the horizontal haka; it gives my tongue some real exercise.

Bugger, Martin! I know you are working really hard to sort all this out, and I haven't said much about the issues. However everyone else has noticed the same issues and there have been other statements about them, and you have quickly reacted and are slowly overcoming them. Thanks for all the hard work - we really appreciate it.

Where do you find this stuff. Beach Road (Coconut Bar) is not about to change.

Anyone I town this week fancy a beer or 2?

Good idea, MM. It should be the cheapest night you've ever had.... Have fun, guys. -
Saw this on another site. Just had to repost (thanks to the original poster). ENGLAND PREPARING FOR THE FINALS:

Damn, that time it did hang up for quite awhile and I had to refresh to get it through, so I have no ideas whatsoever. -

I just posted and it went straight through correctly. I then edited my post just to see if it hung up, but the edit also went straight on. I use Safari browser on my Mac. -
You took me by surprise there. I didn't see a price for "Come with egg fried/boiled rice or chips", but then realised it was part of the offer, and not another dish....

Thanks, lkkrang, I am so glad the business is doing well - a friend used her service and thanked me for putting him onto her; he enjoyed the trip between Pattaya and Swampy for the first time ever.

Hmm, Springboks? Well done Japan!

Chester, this is what I said, "In any case, if you did that, even 2 years prior, I'd think you were an arsehole." I stand by that. However I was not calling you an arsehole, because obviously it wasn't you who committed the crime, but in any case, I would have called you that if it had been you, and I wouldn't be on my own.

Trips to and from the Airport. Watch out for floods.
yorta2 replied to jacko's topic in Airline Discussion
Yes Gary, but I think - a diesel 4x4 with a snorkel. Even high gasoline 4x4s can stall, due to water ingress into ignition system and water ingress to air intake. -
Have a look at the page, post #18, and look at the last sentence or two): http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/topic/64732-my-dental-experience/

Well, I for one, am happy the thieving bastards got caught. That is a high lunch bill and, if it was a 'forgetful error', the diners should have forwarded the money to the resort by mail (with an apology). Staff members would most likely have had to make up the shortfall. If you think it is a bit over the top, Chester, try it and see what happens.... In any case, if you did that, even 2 years prior, I'd think you were an arsehole.

trying out the coach from central Bangkok to Pattaya.
yorta2 replied to JayMoon101's topic in Transport in Thailand
Yes, of course, Jacko. It all depends on which side you are on when you arrive at the station - both have escalators. If you are coming from Soi Nana, you can cross at the top of the street, but if you are coming the other way (Soi Cowboy end) it is difficult to cross unless you use the station overpass. But I guess this small banter is getting a bit off-topic. -

yorta2 replied to JayMoon101's topic in Transport in Thailand
Ploen Chit is around the same distance, but a bit harder to walk there due to the crossings. You don't have to cross Sukhumvit to get to Nana station, nor Ploen Chit. -

yorta2 replied to JayMoon101's topic in Transport in Thailand
Yes there are escalators at Nana, but if you walk from (say) Soi 4 to Nana and take the first entrance to Nana Skytrain you will have to climb stairs. If you walk another 50 metres to the second entrance you will have an escalator. On the other side of Sukhumvit Road, I think, the stairs/escalator entrances are reversed. -
Anyone know if this bar is still open?
yorta2 replied to Chester007's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
You may learn. I do not always provide handouts, but on occasion, when the 'fighter' has asked pleasantly, I chuck in a few baht to build up his taking for the day. It can't be a real money spinner for them, but everyone has to make a living and, on even lesser occasions, I have enjoyed the stage-acting show. -
Great idea, and a good, simple page too. Thanks ikkrang and Nam.

Great (as ever).

Hmm, yes, I believe it IS North American slang. So are many other Americanisms that only Americans use but, similarly, there are other American words that are, in fact, older English than the English use - words such as "hogs" when speaking about pigs. Many such words crossed to the Americas before the Great Vowel Change in England, and continue to be used. Personally, I always have fears when American airline crews announce that, "We will be in the air momentarily". I tend to think that we should be in the air a great deal longer than that, as "momentarily", to me, means "for only a moment". Don't other non-American flyers ever notice that?
