  1. You are having a joke aren't you ? I mean even a tight bastard like myself knows you cant do anything with that room other than let your mate use it on his own as no one will want a Chinese bloke they have never met as a room mate, especially in Pattaya ,or lets be honest anywhere. PS even for free I would think you would get no takers.
  2. I bought my R2D2 and CPO statues in the alley that runs down the side of Mikes mall between 2nd and beach rd . It was a few years ago but that is where I got mine., there was a huge " Alien" statue outside the shop and it was a quite reasonable price, inc delivery to the UK but too huge for my little house.
  3. I think its funny and I understand why its funny , but really are people so uptight they will deny they love a bargain. I shopped at walmart in Kissimmee a few times got great priced Maple syrup to take home and really tasty corn dogs on a stick I still think about over 20 years later.
  4. I stayed at the Lek for my first 2 visits to funtown and whilst I was happy with the room , it was 12 years ago, the food was awful just to look at and I never ate there . I found much better places all around Pattaya that were miles better and many places just as bad but much cheaper. Food is a personal thing and what 1 man loves another man can hate, the Lek food just looked awful and unsanitary it may well have been good but doubt it.
  5. A Harley Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider sa
  6. I think you food looks great but its not for me as I am more a big plate of chips and a small chicken I can tear apart with my fingers sort of guy , I am very much into being able to recognise everything on my plate. Dead boring I know but good luck because you grub does look fantastic even if I would not eat most of it.
  7. http://www.secretflying.com/2016/london-uk-to-bangkok-thailand-for-only-333-roundtrip/ I have no idea of the availability of these flights but secret Flying does come up with some great fares. hope it works for someone. No good for me as I fly in may or june.
  8. Its bad enough when I think you might elect Trump but we almost got Boris as our PM and that would be just as tragic, as they are both clowns.
  9. I know that even a cheap charlie like myself would find it hard to live on 20,000 baht a month,I could quite easily if not happily, but If I was given the choice of living there on a fairly low monthly stipend or living on that same money in the UK then LOS would win hands down every time.
  10. 4 dwarfs in the Reeperbahn hire a prostitute. In the hotel room,-they tie springs to their feet or as it's known,-in Germany- - THE FOUR SPRUNG DWARF TECHNIQUE!
  11. Probably a stupid question but, I love Roast potatoes and there didn't look like there were many on offer is it like carveries in the UK where you can have as many veggies as you like or is there a limit to"all you can eat".
  12. RE, the coving, it can be bought in the UK in Polystyrene that looks just as good, when its been painted, as yours does , can you not get the same stuff in Thailand?.
  13. The place looks absolutely gorgeous, I just wish I had the money. A well presented condo that should move quickly.
  14. I'm glad to see it rebuilt as I always enjoyed a night at the fights when in fun town.
  15. Not only funny but incredibly well done as well. thanks for sharing.
  16. On what basis would yo think that 1600 baht a day is too little to have a happy retirement?. In the UK I don't spend that much and when in Pattaya I can live comfortably on much less . Not everyone has a new woman every night or spends fortunes in bars on alcohol and lady drinks, but in the UK I cant fall out of bed and into a good swimming pool spend a happy evening in good company at the various quiz nights and only spend 200-300 for my cokes or turn up at the cinema to watch new blockbusters at £2-3, have a great massage every day, eat great food, both western and Thai , and also have the
  17. As has been said be realistic in what you are asking , what are you asking ?, what sort of quality are the buildings and how well are they furnished what services are provided, Someone said that 25000 baht is not a lot for westerners in Pattaya , but 25000 baht for a condo is a lot more than many people pay , with most condos I see advertised on here being half that, or even less, for long term. Jomtien seems even lower in price as well as not being very sought after by short time renters. If you advertise them on the forum you will get an immediate response ,but not one you would necessaril
  18. I have met a few Canadians in my life as I am heavily into Ice Hockey and I was once asked how I would describe them in relation to Yanks, my answer was and remains , they look alike and act alike in many ways but Canadians are always more polite. Seems to have been a fairly accurate description of my own interaction with both nationalities.
  19. Cornwells Uthred books have been started by the BBC as a series and done very well so far . The series is still on bbc under the title "The last Kingdom" might well be worth a watch for you if you enjoyed any of the books .
  20. What would be the point of stiffer fines when the BIB don't care about traffic laws unless it involves "tea money" for them.Saw 2 kids on a motor bike hit a farangs Mercedes and the BIB just chased the kids away with their motor bike and the oldest was no more than 10/11 years old, no license no insurance no sense.
  21. No one especially myself is trying to tell anyone how to spend their money , it is obvious that some things cost more than others so the difference between the Northshore and and soi Aruntha is easy to see. The problem is that some things are the same and LDOPs overpay to the detriment of those who want to pay the going rate not some inflated rate that gets paid by guys who have more money than the time it takes to get the best price. If you want it to be an auction go to an auction.
  22. I keep reading that the mashed potatoes were great , but no mention of roasted potatoes which is what makes it a roast dinner. Do they not roast potatoes in Thailand.
  23. I have taken the bus from the airport to Pattaya a couple of times , and found the experience not at all worrisome, but only when the times of the bus allow , at any other time a taxi is necessary.
  24. Now thats an advert I could watch twice, once outbound and again on the way home.
