800 Baht from Pattaya to the Airport - OK?
sinbinjack replied to StandIn's topic in Meeting - Cost sharing
Hi conley , I know that you feel agrieved that you where charged more than you were quoted,and you feel that you would not have been charged more at home ,but as a licenced cabbie (in the past)I do know that I was entitled to charge an extra 10p for any more than 1 passenger and 10 p for every piece of baggage,this is what the "extras "is on the meter, This does not apply to Private hire Taxis, this extra charge is suppossed to be for the extra fuel that a cab will use if carrying the extra weight.I do not know how much the charge is now as I dont use cabs at home as they are far too expensive. -

Lek Hotel - any recent reviews?
sinbinjack replied to DJJJOEs's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
Old wing has the same facilities as the new wing but it is a little more worn,and I have no problem staying there,have done for the last 2 years a total of 14 weeks I would not pay the extra for the new wing -
for me there is no choice I either have a bike and see the sights or I don't have a bike and see sod all. I have bad legs so cant walk very far,due to the pain in my knees.Whilst I understand the risks that one runs in riding in Pattaya I also think that some of these opinions are a little on the Conservative side.If I ride smart and within my capabilities then the chances of me having a serious accident are not much more than if I was riding at home,where I would undoubtedly be travelling much faster, In Pattaya I drive at 30 mph or slower(i am on holiday and in no hurry) I keep my eyes open,and most importantly I dont ever drink and drive,If you follow these simple rules then your driving experiance should hopefully be a safe one.

If you think Italy is bad then try driving a 44ton artic up the Champs Elysée(I was a bit lost) but I wanted to do some sightseeing and I have never liked walking.

Lookin for cheap hotel (Beach Road)
sinbinjack replied to anto24's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
Hi all, doe's anyone know if the Jhouse does a monthly rate ? and if so how much. thanks. -
Hi Jonty, I have a problem also but mine is I'm just a fat git so I also need all the room I can get, it is possible to book a seat on Thia that is the first row after the bulkhead separating the economy from deluxe this seat is much more roomy than the rest,the draw back is that this is also where they put the families with small children as there is a cot holder on the bulkhead in front of the seats(shows how much room there is)and you could get a crying baby(hasn't happened to me) all the way there and back,it worries some but not me,and could be a cheap way for you to fly if it doesn't bother you.

bloody hell taffy you have got a good memory, we must have a drink together when in town, chock dee

Thanks, I will.

any newish condos in the soi buakow area
sinbinjack replied to sinbinjack's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
I looked in there on my last trip,but I thought the pool was a little small for a real swim, but it was otherwise a good place. -
any newish condos in the soi buakow area with pool,I looked at the Diana estates last year ,but keep hearing about new places. I love the soi buakow area as it's so economical,and as I'm staying 4 1/2 months I need it cheap,so I can have more to spend on the girls.The pool is a must as I swim every day as it's the only exercise i can do ,as I'm arthritic.oh yes and very fat as well.

Getting there from airport question (taxi).
sinbinjack replied to CozInCowtown's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Hi , the reason that you don't need ,or want a car in pattaya is,Parking,there isn't any,or at least there is no good parking anywhere near the hot spots, you would spend so much time looking for spaces ,then more time walking back to where you want to go ,that a Baht Bus is much quicker and cheaper.Another reason that you don't want a car is that the Thais drive on the other side of the road than Americans,and if you have no experience of this it will make for a dangerous experience,take it from one who knows ,I was a truck driver in the past and my first trip to Europe in a truck was almost disastrous,cause I had no experience of driving on the wrong side of the road,and almost creamed some poor guy who I thought at first must be drunk cause he was coming at me on my side of the road ,then I realized it was me and had to take avoiding action.Don't do it take a cab it's loads easier. -
Hi all anyone seen anything new,and cheap,in the soi Buakow area ,but with a pool, I need a pool as i swim every day.I will be there from late april to end of august, thanks

The new pope was having a shower. Although he is very strict about the celibacy rules, he occasionally felt the need to exercise the right wrist, and this was one of these occasions. Just as he reached the Papal climax he saw a photographer taking a picture of the holy seed flying through the air. "Hold on a minute" said the Pope. "You can't do that. You'll destroy the reputation of the Catholic Church." "This picture is my lottery win" said the photographer. "I'll be financially secure for life." So, the Pope offered to buy the camera off the photographer, and after lots of negotiation, they eventually arrived at a figure of two million quid. The Pope then dried himself off, and headed off with his new camera. He met his housekeeper, who spotted the camera. "That looks like a really good camera," she said, "how much did it cost you?" "Two million quid" replied the Pope. "TWO MILLION QUID!" said the Housekeeper............ [ scroll down a bit more...... ] They must've seen you coming!

What do you call the Indian karaoke champion? Gerupta Singh. *** Have you heard about the new extra sensitive condoms? They hang around after the man leaves and talk to the woman. *** Two university students had a week of exams coming up but decided to party instead. When they got to their exam they decided to tell the professor their car had broken down the night before due to a flat tyre and they needed a bit more time to study. The professor told them they could have another day to study. That evening, both of the boys crammed all night until they were sure they knew just about everything. Arriving at class the next morning, each boy was told to go to a separate classroom to take the exam. Each shrugged and went to different parts of the building. As each sat down they read the first question. "For 5 points, explain the contents of an atom." At this point they both thought this was going to be a piece of cake and answered the question with ease. The test continued.... "For 95 points, tell me which tyre it was." *** Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When little Billy received his plate, he started eating straight away. "Billy, wait until we've said our prayer," his mother reminded him. "I don't have to," the little boy replied. "Of course you do," his mother insisted. "We say a prayer before eating at our house." "That's at our house," Billy explained, "but this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook." *** A man enters his favourite fancy restaurant and while sitting at his regular table he notices a gorgeous woman sitting at a nearby table all alone. He calls the waiter over and asks for their most expensive bottle of Merlot to be sent over to her, knowing that if she accepts it, she is his for the night. The waiter gets the bottle and quickly sends it over to the girl, saying it is from the gentleman at a nearby table. She looks at the man, then at the wine and decides to send a note over to the man. The note read: "For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a Mercedes in your garage, a million dollars in the bank and seven inches in your pants." The man, after reading this note, sends another note to her. It read: "Just so you will know, I happen to have a Ferrari Testarossa, a BMW 850iL, and a Mercedes 560SEL in my garage, plus I have over twenty million dollars in the bank. But, not even for a woman as beautiful as you would I cut three inches off my dick. Just send the wine back." *** Did you know you can get Viagra eye drops now? They make you look hard. *** A woman decides to cook a fancy tea and sends her husband out for a bag of snails. She tells him that if he dares to go to the pub on the way back there will be hell to pay. The man buys the snails and goes straight to the pub, where he stops until closing time. Feeling thoroughly refreshed he staggers home and rings the bell. The wife, furious as thunder, stomps out of the kitchen and throws open the front door. She finds her husband in the driveway on his knees, the snails scattered around him in all directions. He glares at them, throws out his arm and shouts, "Come on you b*stards! Hurry up!" *** I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any. *** An old cowboy went to a bar and ordered a drink. As he sat sipping his whiskey a young lady sat down next to him. She turned to the cowboy and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?" "Well," he replied, "I've spent my whole life on the ranch, herding horses, mending fences and branding cattle, so I guess I am." "I'm a lesbian," she said. "I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning I think about women. When I shower I think about women. While I watch TV or even eat I think about women. Everything seems to make me think about women." The two sat sipping in silence. A short time later a man sat down on the other side of the old cowboy and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?" "I always thought I was," he replied, "but I just found out I'm a lesbian." *** Why don't women blink during foreplay? They don't have time. *** A young camel was bored one day and started asking his mother questions. "Why do we have large three toed feet?" "So we don't sink while walking in the soft sands of the desert," his mother replied. "Why do we have long eyelashes?" was the next question. "To stop the sand of the desert storms getting in our eyes," was the exasperated reply. "Why do we have a large hump on our back?" "So we can cross the many miles of desert without needing water," his mother snapped. "So what the f*ck are we doing in Chester zoo?" *** A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father. She stands next to the barber's chair, eating a cake while her dad gets his haircut. The barber smiles at her and says, "Sweetheart, you're gonna get hair on your muffin." "I know," she replies. "I'm gonna get t*ts too." *** I've got this clever new car radio. It's voice activated. When I want dance music I say 'dance' and it plays dance music. When I want rock music I say 'rock' and it plays rock music. The other day a bunch of kids ran in front of my car as I was driving along. "******* Kids," I shouted, and Gary Glitter came on.

Hi,I dont like auto transmission on anything, so I always hire a manual 115cc bike, for me its a matter of mobility, as i cant walk very far so this is the only way for me to see a bit of the town.I do agree that the driving in Pattaya leaves a lot to be desired,but I have no reason to go quickly in Pattaya so I can be a little more careful than at home,The fact that I drink little, or nothing,99%of the time,and dont drink and drive ever, helps with my safety.
