Some of those contributors have a really strange perspective.

A young Korean couple are lying in bed when the guy starts farting. "That's disgusting!" shouts the girl. "It's the dog," the guy claims. "Don't blame the dog", she yells, "It was cooked perfectly!"

AFAIK,If you buy a condo in a Thai name you can resell it to a Farang as long as there are more than 51% of the remaining condos in Thai names.The 49%/51% split is the important part not the name on the lease.Its like ,when a 100 condo development is finished and the condos are put on the market the Thai owners can sell 49 of the condos to Farangs immediately, even if the rest remain unsold,they belong to the "Thai" developer.

there's a butcher on Jomtien sea front who sell black Pudding(a few years ago so might be gone now) .Strangely considering the bad reviews I gave him Crazy dave's did good black Puddings , unfortunately the rest of his breakfast was inedible.

A potato or a yam?

Thanks for the info MM ,but I wasn't talking about Routers that you buy for your own use ,I was talking about the commercial transmitters that providers use.I might be wrong but I seem to remember him saying they were only allowed to use 1 kilowatt but would soon be allowed 2 kilowatt transmitters.Now I might be wrong about the Kilowatt bit ( I think that I remember electric heaters were in Kilowatts)but He definitely stated that the size of the transmitters would be doubled. as I said it could have been Thai waffle just to get me off his back as my downloads speeds were so low as to be unusable at certain times.

I was talking to the guy who supplied my WiFi in Pattaya around August last year and his response to my unhappiness was to tell me that the Thai government has them using smaller transmitters than they use elsewhere,but that the Thai government was allowing them to double the size of their transmitters soon.Has anyone any idea if any of that is or was true or was I just getting the usual Thai runaround. PS he did give figures but not being particularly tech minded I have forgotten all that he said about the technicalities.

Surely any bank will lend if you have collateral,its loans with no collateral that are dangerous.

I am so craving a hot Chili I am just going to cook up a big pot now.

I love Chili ,the hotter the better,but I have a small foible,I like mashed potato with my chili rather than rice.

Hi Jim,As You Know I don't drink so spend as little time in bars as possible,so your suggestion could be a winner.I hope to see you in Pattaya next year if my health will let me be fit to travel .Wish me luck.

Ditto. Why travel all the way to Pattaya if all you want is to talk to women who will normally say no.You can do that at home for alot less money and you wont have the language problem either.

That is just another way of saying its a Thai share condo.If there was any Farang share condos left then that is what it would be ,Company owned condos are only owned by companies to get around the 51/49 split and are "illegal" even if at the moment no one is doing anything about it.The reason that developers can charge a premium to Farangs is the fact that the farang share (in a good complex)is quickly sold out and they then resort to Company owned places to keep the Farangs interested,but as has been said many times, if you do it and the political wind changes you could end up out of pocket. PS it will never be "your condo" but will always belong to a company in which you can only be a minority shareholder. PPS Thai people pay a lot less for condos in the same block than Farangs.

I call "English style" the curries that I buy in England.I have no idea what you mean if its something different from the curries you can buy in England then surely its not English style.I do agree that personal taste will play a large part in anyone's enjoyment of any kind of food ,and I am a very choosy eater and I do not eat curries very frequently,but I do wonder what you mean by English Style as that's what I buy locally (in ESSEX)and that's what NeeRoys offers.I am afraid the nearest I have gotten to Authentic Indian food was when I flew Kingfisher Air.The food was excellent ,but much less spicy than I am used to.

Thanks ,but all that gets me is the web site for Agoda ,and that's where it said 20000baht + a month, yesterday ,but on your link it wont even give me a quote for the Siam View today and does not seem to be on its list for some reason. I was interested because of the (quoted in a post)price of 12000 baht a month but can't seem to find that price anywhere ,so I assumed it was on the hotels web site but can't find one. It does give details of the hotel but when I enter a date and ask for rates it only gives a long list of other hotels none of which were the Siam View.

If you want English style curries ,then try NeeRoys in soi Chiapoon (just opposite Crazy daves)Nee learned the art of Curry making at an award winning Indian restaurant in Halifax (IIRC)Nee and Roy supply many other places with their curry on a wholesale basis so you may already have tasted it.It is a very well priced place and a very friendly one as well. PS It actually has a large yellow sign outside that says, ENGLISH STYLE CURRIES,so its hard to miss.

Have they got a web site as the only Siam View I can see (on a booking site) is 20000 baht+, a month,Though that is for 30 days as they dont show a monthly rate

I stay at a nice hotel with pool and free wi-fi, for 12,000/month, the hotel is only 3 years old and very clean. has balcony, maid service and about 5 minutes from beach rd by motorbike. What hotel is that ,as it sounds just up my street

You could try the Dianna estate on Soi Buakhow .Its a decent place with 2 agents the cheapest are ProPro, pattayagreentree@hotmail.com The more expensive have a website here, http://www.soleildesiam.com/ Both will do from 1 month up.

An English scone is sweetened and an American biscuit is not,its more breadlike than sconelike.

I have never sent and will never send money to BGs in Pattaya .I go for 1 thing and that is definitely not to send money for services not received. I think the OP is pulling our leg or has the wrong end of a slippery stick. PS I know it does happens as I have a friend who did it ,loads of cash and 2 Cars (she told him the first car got stolen and was not insured)and just so you know its not just Thai BGs ,this one was an Essex girl,and left him full of debt.A sad story but all his own fault.

Man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a man below. He descended a bit more and shouted: 'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am.' The man below replied, 'You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 53 and 54 degrees north latitude and between 1 and 2 degrees west longitude.' ' ... ... You must be a senior NCO in the RAF,' said the balloonist. 'I am,' replied the man, 'how did you know?' 'Well,' answered the balloonist, 'everything you have told me is probably technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip by your talk.' The man below responded, 'I take it you are an Officer.' 'I am,' replied the balloonist, 'but how did you know?' 'Well,' said the man, 'you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fuckin fault.'

Hi ,My avatar seems to have gone the way of the dodo. Can I get it back please or must I live with the small red X I now have in it's place. Thanks

Its a stupid question, as no one knows what you want to do or how you want to do it.Each man is different and each man spends his cash in different ways,so what one considers a good night out would be chicken feed to another.Some bars are expensive and some are cheap ,just like the girls and everything else in Pattaya as well as everywhere else in the world.I you want a reliable sense of what things cost ask that,dont ask what you need to spend per day. Read the forum for knowledge of prices and bring as much cash as you can afford,It's better to bring too much and take some home ,than to bring too little and ruin a holiday.
