  1. They can do whatever they like its their currency . It was done to the UK pound back in the 60s by the Wilson government. https://www.google.com/search?q=devaluation+of+the+English+pound&sxsrf=ALeKk001NRABJ8mMqw2LGCkAXSbYMgGr2Q:1584504107127&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=HUvmNxPKMB7ZqM%3A%2C_UW4hC6jPhVUdM%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kQOqwYKRcY8vQ4Ki4jyFHQfeOwBlQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwin6szjkaPoAhWIfMAKHd83B9oQ9QEwAHoECAoQAw#imgrc=HUvmNxPKMB7ZqM:
  2. I don't care what she was thinking , I was thinking that at 50 I would still do her as she looks good enough to eat.
  3. last time I went it was first 5 or 10 minutes free and then a charge , but I can't remember what the charge was because we didn't have to pay . Dropping of is no problem 5 minutes is plenty but picking up needs careful planning by mobile phone so you don't leave your lift waiting. Personally I wait in the mcdonalds (2 minutes away) but if you don't buy something there you can be hit with a parking charge, so beware. It was on the tv programme watchdog
  4. Lucky for me I have a son and a couple of mate and we drive each other to the airports as needed.
  5. One other thing to be aware of is that the 21.10 flights all have 28 to 33 hours as the first leg and the return is a reasonable 15-16; whilst the 1500 flights are all 15-16 both ways. one other thing I checked ,or my son checked the buses from Chelmsford and I needed to go to colchester nd then Stansted but the journey takes 3 and a half hours and costs £40 with national express.
  6. I can get £485 for a 2 month stay in april.thats a good price for Emirates.
  7. I live in Chelmsford and can get to Stansted in 25, 35-40 in peak traffic) minutes it takes me 1 hour and 10 minutes with no traffic to get to Heathrow (Did it at middy just before xmas and it took me over three and a half hours for the round trip) and about the same to Gatwick , from Colchester where my son lives its 40 minutes to stansted and 1 hour and 50 minutes to Heathrow and Gatwick . so how you think its just as easy to use the other airports from essex is beyond me.One other thing although it may now be well out of date, but I heard that the landing fees at heathrow and gatwick were d
  8. sorry about that I never noticed the cut and paste did not work fully.
  9. I remember a few years ago falling over on beach road just at the bottom of soi 13 and 3 very small Thai's helped me back up to my feet, all together they didn't weigh a much as I do or did back then , and not one fellow farang even glanced my way . Now it might have been because they thought me drunk but I don't drink, I have Arthritis but the Thais were nothing but helpful in a situation they had no need to help with but help they did and their concern for me at the time seemed quite real.
  10. Two priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation. They were determined to make this a real vacation, by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc. The next morning they went to the beach dressed in their 'tourist' garb. They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a 'drop dead gorgeous' topless blonde came walking straight towards them. They couldn't help but stare. As the blonde passed
  11. A couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said that the hospital was testing an amazing new high-tech machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labour pain to the baby's father. He asked if they were interested. Both said they were very much in favour of it. The doctor set the pain transfer to 10% for starters, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. But as the labour progressed, the husband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and kick it up a notch. The docto
  12. It was George the Postman's last day on the job after 35 years of carrying the mail through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood. When he arrived at the first house on his route, he was greeted by the whole family who congratulated him and sent him on his way with a tidy gift envelope. At the second house, they presented him with a box of fine cigars. The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures. At the fourth house, he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful woman in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, gently led him through th
  13. They do that all over the world as its a great method of detecting leaks without tech.works just like a stethoscope or at least the one used by midwives.

  15. Go on AirBnB and use the filters to get close to what you want with 2 minutes checking I found half a dozen places in and around Pattaya that might serve your purpose , but without the exact knowledge of what you want and where you want it , the only person who could arrange it would be yourself. As for the Ladies , you ask the owner just as you would ask the hotel or condo manager. Its Pattaya after all no on will get offended and if they do then you wont want to do any business with them anyway. Remember that money is king in Pattaya and even when it isn't you don't have to spend it with peo
  16. I have to say Mike Myers have never been my cup of tea. I have no idea why as I have a good sense of humour normally but he just does not do it for me.
  17. I don't and probably won't have a tipping point . as long as I can afford it I will have a month in Patts every year until I can no longer male the trip due to poor health . I see all the doom and gloom about how high the costs are and yes they are higher than they were but by the same token I have a lot more income now than I had on my first visit in 2003 when the rate was 69/70 to the £ . There is nowhere I know of with the weather I get in summer at the price I pay for a months holiday like Pattaya . I dont drink I very rarely now chase the ladies , not never and I am too tight to pay for l
  18. Do you think anyone in Pattaya has consulted a civil engineer , you know someone who can predict the actions of the seas when the headland is changed . Looking at what is happening when the flooding comes its pretty clear no one has or they didn't listen . I would say they need to build a reef a couple of hundred feet out from the beach to stop the tides undermining all the work they are trying to do and a couple of Irish foremen to make sure the work is actually carried out to a decent standard , which from the pictures is not the case. 10 for effort 1 for what actually got
  19. I understand the urge to save money I am a Scot so tight with a penny , pounds get treated with reverence, but There are reasons why people are not en mass traveling to the places you are thinking of . That reason is for the long run there is a much better western type infrastructure in Thailand than in any of the countries you mention and whilst it might be a little less expensive over a short break it is much more relaxing for the long run to be in Pattaya . I stay for a minimum 1 month and often much longer , up to 4 and a half months, and whilst I could save money traveling elsewhere I wou
  20. How much cheaper can flights get ?. unless you mean the expensive end of the planes which so few of us have ever tasted, but seriously flying is so cheap now how do you make it cheaper.
  21. I Have recently seen in the US a movie called , The Green Book, I have no interest in this movie other than I loved it and am urging all my friends and family to go see it. The Actors have faces I recognise but no big stars and the story is not action filled as is my general first requirement but this is bar none the best movie I have seen this or last year, I gave it 10/10
  22. Hi All I see more and more adds for Voice translators and wondered , as many of those advertised get awful reviews, if anyone has one that works on the go, rather in a lab.and what you paid and is it worth the bother when you can just shout and wave your arms ?.
  23. I remember many years ago standing outside a Parisien Cafe looking at the menu trying to work out what Omelette was in french. I really was standing there trying to come up with some word that included oeufs. Sometimes you just have to laugh.
  24. I just wanted a 90 day visa with no running around for extensions or visa runs as the visa runs of yesteryear were horrific days spent travelling far to fast with no entertainment and extensions are just a bind and a lost few hours that seem a bit pointless.
