It's just another issue from the restore. It will be a few days before everything is working exactly right.

The law states that the period of extention is at the discretion of the immigration officer but in any case not more than 50% of the time allowed by the existing visa. In Pattaya this has translated to 30 days if you have a proper tourist visa in your passport or 7 days if you got a visa on arrival. However as it is a discretionary matter the only way to be sure it to pay your money and take your chance.

Hi Fon I have updated a couple of the pics for you.

Fire Guts the Best Disco in Town: In one of the worst tragedies ever to befall a night entertainment operation in the history of Pattaya, the Route 999 nightclub on Third Road (near the junction with North Pattaya Road) was gutted by what appears to have been an electrical fire on the night of Sunday 7 May. At the time of writing, eight people, apparently all employees of the nightclub, died in the blaze and more than 80 others have been injured, some severely. The fire began around 9:00PM, had it been a couple of hours later the place would have been packed and the tragedy probably even w

Bart If you email it to me, I'll host it for you. peter@pattayapages.com I am away from home from Sunday afternoon so you need to send it before then if you want me to host it. Pete

Boom and boom boom in Pattaya R.I.P.: Patrick Jourand, the genial and jovial proprietor of one of Pattaya's longest-running and finest French (Swiss) munching palaces Le Petrus on Soi Yamato, sadly passed away on 15 April. According to reports, Patrick had been ill for some time. Pattaya is definitely the poorer for his passing. Tales of Chrome Pole Palaces: The number of gogos in Pattaya is set to keep rising if strong rumours, which have been circulating for some time, are true. The Thai boxing arena and the beer boozers around it in front of the Dollhouse gogo (Walking Street) and dir

Age Hasn't Wearied Him: Congratulations to Chris Leat, the current majority shareholder and one of the original owners of the highly-regarded Blues Factory live music venue (Soi Lucky Star, off Walking Street), celebrated his birthday on 17 March, St Patrick's Day. Not being a football fan I don't know whether Chelsea, his home team, did the right thing and won whatever match they might have been engaged in that weekend; then again, Chris was probably too inebriated to care…until after the hangover wore off. Truth in Advertising? On the recommendation of a friend (whose well-trained Lab

I second that recommendation Sunny. Tell him Peter sent you and he'll give you a discount as well. One of the few places in Pattaya where they really understand customer service.

Not really. If you stay at the top until the page has fully loaded then it won't bounce but that really does not solve your problem. The web page designer can also prevent this by specifying the size of images and thus reserving space in the page for them before they have downloaded. That obviously would not work for a forum like this where the designer has no idea what size images will be posted. The best and really the only solution is to have a fast connection so you don't have to wait for pics to download.

I think you will find that FLB Bar who sponsor and pay for this forum is also the best place to meet members from the forum. If you want to be introduced to other members ask for Keith, the manager or Martin, the owner and they will do the honours for you.

The Mathematics of Business: Has Fun Town been busy during this latest high season? There are plenty of long-timers who say no. Is this because there are fewer visitors to Pattaya? No. The reason is really quite simple: there has been a massive increase in the number of entertainment outlets in Pattaya in the last three years and, despite the zoning ‘plans' of City Hall, the damn things are literally everywhere you look. Take Soi Buakhow as one example. At the turn of the century this was still, in essence, a neat back road between Central Pattaya Road and South Pattaya Road; now it is

A Taste of Tex-Mex: One of Fun Town's true survivors, Big Al has a record of producing pretty fine Mexican nosh -all beans means farts Pancho- at reasonable prices. His small street stall on Second Road, opposite Big C and in front of the popular Atlantic beer boozer, does good business. He hasn't had much luck with a couple of other locations, for varying reasons, but is now ensconced in the kitchen of the Babewatch ogling den (Soi 16, Walking Street). Plans are under way to use the kitchen to also serve food in the other beer boozers and chrome pole palaces ( Catz, Club Boesche and X-Zo

Amazingly, there is an official Philips shaver repair centre in Pattaya. It's in Naklua on the main road, right hand side as you approach from Pattaya. It's a small shop and has a Philips Authorised sign outside. It's a little hard to see, so if you miss it go to the Sony shop by the traffic lights and walk back towards Pattaya about 100 meters and you should see it. It's run by a nice guy and his wife who have been very helpful to me in the past.

As with any field of endeavor, a unique vocabulary arises among those who often discuss a particular subject. Here's an explanation of some common terms applied to LOS and mongering. Baa = Thai word for crazy. short for Ba ba bar boe (see also Ting Tong) Baht = Unit of Thai currency (about 33 to the US$) Bar Fine = Also known as Off by the girls. A fee paid to a bar to allow an employee of the bar to leave in your company. This is not a fee for sexual services. BG = Bar girl BJ = Blow job. BBBJ = Bare back blow job (no condom) Boardies = Members of this forum

Still Time to Donate: Down in the wilds of Soi Yamato (Soi 13/1 for the uninitiated) Deadly Derek of The Clinic sports emporium kicked off his joint’s Charity Book Sale on 14 February. Last year the money raised helped pay for cataract removal operations that restored sight to three people. This year he has included CD’s and DVD’s. The deal is simple: purchase paperback books at 100 baht each or six for 500 baht; hardback and large print books are 200 baht each or six for 1,000 baht. CD’s and DVD’s are 100 baht a pop. The Clinic will double any money raised and pass it on (in ful

The End of the Draught: Not too long ago , quite a few gogos installed frozen Margarita machines with the idea of promoting the libation as an expensive form of lady drink. The experiment seems to have failed and many places have dispensed with the machines. Part of the reason, of course, is that the drinks were pricey and there are a lot of ex-pats and regulars who refuse to part with what they consider silly sums for glasses full of coloured alcoholic liquid, just to satisfy the whims of a few avaricious dancing damsels. Now, at the other end of the financial scale, comes a prediction fr
