  1. Well, the Cherry Bar has moved, and that happened late last summer if I remember correctly.
  2. Looking at that lot, I'd just as soon trust the chimp with the gun.
  3. Martin, Martin, you missed the chance to say yes and see who turned up.
  4. I haven't seen sizes yet, do you have that? If so, please post. Thanks. The OP really needs a website.
  5. Update; Yesterday I spoke to a Brit in the condo sales office of the developer who will be building behind the PBR (Centara). They're hoping to start the build in July 2013, so it SHOULD be quiet in the back until then. The Condo block will be about the same height as the PBR. The new wing build in front is well under way, planned to open late 2013. It seems well screened, so disruption in the hotel will be minimised as much as possible, I doubt if it'll cut the noise down much though. I'm back in May, so I've booked the PBR again. This time I'm in Jomtien, a lovely Condo from Co
  6. Even if you can buy insurance for a rental, what's the chance of a tourist getting a payout? An expat sure, but even at home these things take more time than you'll have here. The bike owner will want paid immediately, and once you've left the country it would be hard to reclaim that from the insurance company.
  7. They can type in an amount and have the pump dispense exactly that. Sounds like they filled Martin's tank, THEN typed in an amount 200 Baht higher and showed him that. It makes the scam simple as all they have to do is pocket two 100 Baht notes and their "till" will balance with the fuel sales data from the pump. I was had several years ago with the not re-setting on a bike, it wasn't until the next day when it clicked - I paid for more than could have been squeezed into an empty tank. Live and learn.
  8. When I was looking a couple of months back, I sent them an email. No reply.

    Anyone ?

    After the way he was treated last time, I doubt if he'd want it.
  10. A quick bit of googling and it looks like the title and cover is serious, if not the plot synopsis.
  11. That was excellent, just replayed it twice. Thanks.
  12. No offence mate, but your girlfriend seems to have a history of financial wrongdoing and tax avoidance. Why should any bank trust her with that?
  13. I've got one of those 2 person seats booked for tonight at the Avenue for me & the TG. 500 Baht, can't be bad.
  14. Actually, I was looking for an actual Wat with monks. Thanks
  15. I'd like to find a Wat where they do the sak yant tattoos, but I haven't been able to find one in the Pattaya area. Anybody got any hints? Thanks.
  16. And next month she gets to vote someone into the most powerful job in the free world.
  17. Most hotels will store bags if you have another booking made.
  18. I got this back from the PBR; "We understand the situation and your decision. I would like to take this opportunity to update you regards to Back side construction by Tulip group. They confirm us the construction for CONDO AND HOTEL will be started by end of next year 2013. The being time, there is only their sale office for selling units. For others nearby construction and Bar, they are beyond on my confirmation where will be free from any major noise issue. Any of your final decision, we are most welcome Warm regards, Walailuk C." So it could be years before there
  19. I've cancelled now, I don't need all that going on around me while I'm on holiday. Got a condo rented instead. Thanks all.
  20. In case someone can use it, do you have a link for the supplier?
  21. I'm wary about having to set up an account for free anything.
