I think this is a bit harsh. Many dishes are varied from the original but still referred to just the same as the original. Take a look at a Google search for Eggs Benedict and you'll see countless variations, just as with many other dishes.

I don't like Harbour Mall and there's no reason for me to go there a second time. Maybe it will survive because of the kids' theme park place on the top floor - dump the kids and do the shopping, and the kids will nag to go there again.

Why allow all that crap to spoil your holiday? Just get a Tourist Visa before you come. http://www.thaiconsulatesydney.org/Home/visa

Maybe Pattaya Memorial Hospital Unfortunately, their website seems to be under reconstruction (http://www.pattayamemorial.com/). The hospital is situated almost on the junction of 2nd Road and Klang Address: 328/1 M.9 Central Pattaya Rd., Bang Lamung, Chon Buri 20150 THAILAND Phone: 038 488 777 https://www.google.co.th/maps/place/Pattaya+Memorial+Hospital/@12.9357726,100.8868698,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xa1147f4d920450e1!8m2!3d12.9357726!4d100.8868698

No! ESTIMATED TO BE .... I think it is called "providing flexibility".

... is closed for renovation:

You could try emailing the management office of City Garden - I'll PM you their email address. There are quite a few advertised for rent and for sale on the internal notice boards. Most likely the same applies to The Urban and to Avenue Residence, the other 2 condo developments in Soi 15. Edit: Tried PMing you but find you are not permitted to use the messaging system. If you are interested, I suggest you send them a message from here: http://www.citygardenpattaya.com/Contact-City-Garden-Pattaya/663/Message/Form/21

We are at totally different ends of the food spectrum! I hate cheese and find the smell of it nauseating. I walked into The Bistro once and had to walk right out again as the smell of cheese in that small place was overwhelming.

Have you tried tea tree oil?

.... like whether it has been built yet!

Are you positive about that? Are you thinking of the one that was on the corner of Klang and Second Road? I understand that there is a Tops at the bottom of the Markland condos, on Beach Road - Soi 1.

Maybe someone took note:

It seems I will need to change my coffee shop chain of choice!

Easy: to see if it could be accessed using The Cloud.

Easy: I checked it out.

Are you referring to all the meat and two veg on Pattaya Ladyboys?

In the UK, many pubs, restaurants, coffee shops etc. provide free WiFi via The Cloud (http://www.thecloud.net/). I discovered today that PT is regarded by The Cloud as pornographic and it has prevented access. It's interesting that Addicts, Chat, Live, ThaiVisa are all accessible. That leaves Talk in the dubious company of Pattaya Ladyboys, which also appears to be blocked! :)

You obviously haven't made it to the Sois 13/1 and 13/2 places yet .

I understand that you can cut out the middle man and deal directly with xxxx Immigration Office, if you happen to make contact with the "right" IO there. They have a link with a branch of Kasikorn, and the only inconvenience is that you have to go along to that branch to open your account there.

The land immediately to the south of VT6 (the WS side) is in the process of being developed. It was very noisy there September/October time as they commenced the work. Work was done for a few weeks and then stopped. From what I've read, it will re-start around January time. I would suggest asking the rental agent what the status of the work will be when you plan to stay there, or book on the Hilton side. If on the Hilton side, make sure you are on a high floor because the lower floors suffer noise from the AC for Central Shopping Mall. Anywhere you stay in VT6 will potentially suffer from building noise coming from the inside. Not all the units have been fully constructed, and others get reconfigured. But that will just be the luck of the draw.

Still open, which is surprising as it gets very little custom. I fear it won't escape the poor reputation it built up in its previous incarnation in what appears to be the same ownership.

Based on what I had read here, I booked Nam to bring me to Pattaya from Swampy earlier today. Booking via email was very efficient. Nam was waiting at the appointed place for me, and had no problem waiting a little longer whilst I got a phone contract. She gave me a bottle of water which was a most appreciated small touch. She drove very safely and well, but that is not to say she drove slowly. She speaks pretty good English, and she had the skill to provide whatever amount of conversation I wanted. She had some Thai music playing in the background but at a very low level. She's a charming lady, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again.

If history is any guide, you won't get a reply to this question, nor one about the barfine rates.

You might want to consider getting a letter from your GP to confirm you have the drugs for a genuine medical condition. There were quite a few stories a year or two back about falangs getting shaken down by the police, particularly in the area around Ekamai bus station in BKK, and needing to contribute to the police welfare society if they were found with ED drugs which had not been prescribed.

I am firmly of the belief you don't get something for nothing. How are Magic Jack making their money? (Maybe funded by the NSA )
