  1. Thank Fcuk for that I thought I was getting even cheaper as a charlie ,its nice to know i'm no worse than I was before.but I am still miffed if I have to shell out more for my air fare,so will give it a couple of weeks before I book.
  2. Hi you might try the Diana estates on soi buakhow I believe that you can store a bike there for 300baht a month .There are quite a few there they are well covered in tarps and also well chained so should be ok
  3. Hi all ,its nearly time for me to come back to Pattaya for a few months ,but this year it seems that airline prices are much higher than last year,I know that taxes have gone up but there seems to be no special offers from the usual suspects.Am I being too cheap or is this in fact a sellers market ,even with all the talk of terrorist attacks and unrest in LOS.I am usualy inundated with special offers to fly at this time of year from Thai and EVA.I should add that I am in the uk and fly from Heathrow
  4. Seems like a strange dislike, as you are in business to sell alcohol and that does make people drunk.
  5. The pool is tiny and the hotel is well of the beaten track,unless you have transport you will walk a lot ,if this dosent worry you then its not a bad choice.
  6. off course its funny,only the uptightget their knickers in a bunch,
  7. I have not ridden a bike at home for more than your 27 years ,but I did feel that I could handle it and I have for the last 3 years when I am in funtown.My only suggestion is that if you dont feel confident in your ability now then no ammount of training will be any use as what you seem to lack is confidence in your bike skills,and IMHO Pattaya is not the place to try and get them back,if you can afford it then a small car might be a better bet .
  8. hi all,I am a great bargainer (its my Scottish Heritage)I find that the usual(good bargainers) price for DVDs is 100 baht each and you get a free one if you buy 10 ,so 11 for 1000baht and if you buy more you will get (or should ask for) a greater discount,I got 33 for 2800 baht in the tuesday - friday market.but I would never pay more than 100 baht as there will allways be another salesman along in a minute,in the mikes mall I bought a suitcase on wheels that was advertised at 1800 baht but came down to 1400 when asked if that was her best price and all the way down to 1200 when i said I wa
  9. Hi ,as with all questions of this sort its horses for courses,some might spend $500 in a day some very lucky and also very rich may spend much more but if $1000 is all you have then it will be more than sufficient.You can spend a lot more but only if you have a lot more.I have just returned from a 4 month trip and I averaged approx £1000 a month and that included my rent my bike and my air fare,I know that I am a cheap charlie but I dont drink (alcohol)I rarely go into GoGos and will select my partners from the girls on Beach Rd (500baht short time) my budget also contained a little extra for
  10. I just paid my utilities bill at the Diana estates and it was 975 total for water and electric,so I think you have been stiched up my friend
  11. Tipping is absolutely a choice, I dont allways want to pay more than the agreed price,so I dont, you on the other hand may want to pay more than the agreed sum for the service provided, that is up to you,your stupidity is no indication of what I should, or will do. If you want to make a difference to the "poor people of Pattaya"then I suggest that you give some money to the orphanage,and dont overpay what are (for pattaya at least)already well paid workers.
  12. Loads of nonsense talked on this site at times,Many people dont tip at all and the Thais dont (for the most part )expect a tip,but to tip 100 on a 150 baht massage is well out of proportion to the services rendered,a 10% tip is more than adequate,on top of the fee already paid. the fact that its nothing to you means nothing A TIP SHOULD BE IN PROPORTION TO THE RECIPIANT NOT THE GIVER.
  13. Hi all yester day I changed 500 pounds of TCs into baht and got 35652baht,the rate for cash would have been almost 300 less and this was after charges.On the day I arrived (20thapril)I got 66.5 baht to the pound I am feeling much richer now
  14. Hi ,I get a great massage at the massage place uner the Lek Hotel on second road the lady who does me (I always use the same woman)Is probably 50 or so but she makes it possible for me to walk tall when I leave even if I was crouching when I went in,I suffer from arthritis
  15. just around the corner is The Diana estate with A/C rooms from 9000baht a month +utilities and they have a pool, book with Pro Pro as they are cheaper
  16. The pool at the Diana estate is about 20 mt
  17. There is a book called Disorder in the Court. These are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters - who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place. Some of these are excellent ... Q: What is your date of birth? A: July fifteenth. Q: What year? A: Every year. Q: What gear were you in at the moment of the accident? A: Gucci sweatshirt and Reeboks. Q: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th? A: Yes. Q: And what were you doing at that time? Q: She had three ch
  18. Hi all, I tried this place when I got into town last week but they told me all they had where large rooms at 15000 baht a monh so I went along the road to the Diana Estates and go a very large room for 9000 a month.
  19. Hi ,at your price you wont get UBC,only Sophon. You could do what I did and pitch up at the Diana esates on soi buakhao and get a condo for 9000baht a month +utilities I will be here 4 more month and its great so far.
  20. Arrived in BKK on time,there was my driver waiting for me with a large sign with my name on it,said Hi mr Toom he said no Mr Toom ,me Mr Tooms friend ,so all was ok, this guy took me in an older ,but very well maintained and spotless Toyota, where I wanted to go, for advertised price +100 tip.I will use this service all the time in future.
  21. Eva flight BA 68 19th april anyone else on that flight,I am on tenterhooks Whatever the fuck they are)as it's all so close again If you are on that flight look out for an enourmous scotsman with bad knees and a face thats been shaved to close we can have a chat to pass the time.
  22. There are rule in Thailand that say you cannot buy a house (legaly)and can only own a condo,under certain circumstances.Do a search on this and other sites before commiting yourself to anything.
  23. I have been trying to contact The LK mansion for 10 days (4/5 e-mails)and have had no reply at all, does anyone know of any reason why this place does not reply to e-mails,or have you any feedback about it ,I wanted to know about in room safes, room sizes,(it says 28sq m and thats the same as 13ft by 22ft and that is pretty big by my standards)and facilities.so any help or advice would be appreciated.
  24. Hi hardeep,My post is an honest answer to you and others who ask the same question there is no answer that will give you any real help,I can tell you how much I spend but that is what I can afford,not what you or others can afford.The amount that YOU spend will depend on how much you earn ,what you consider luxury,how many women a day or week that you want to BF,where YOU will stay,how much and what you drink,will you ring the Bell,(I don't,others do)what YOU eat and where,will you BF more than one girl at a time,will YOU be a cheap Charlie or a high roller.I personally am a disabled man who l
