Villa is just too young! I was given egg nog at the age of about 7 (i.e. decades before Villa's journey to this planet) by my dentist after I hadI fainted. However, I think we might make it with brandy.

No - I'm not into extras at massage joints .

Teelack I have exactly the same wish. I think this is an untappped market.

Anyone thinking of following up on this ad might want to check out where the unit is relative to the ATY Karaoke and Lola Beer Bars. Those places cause a lot of distrurbance to some of the people at Avenue Residence.

So let's try to get this clear, what is the purpose of these + and - buttons? I'm sure many people have not been using them in the way MM suggests above, particularly after his previous comment on the subject - That's what the Green PLUS sign at the right lower corner of the post is for! So, are the buttons to say: i) you agree/disagree wih the comments, or ii) you think the post is a good/bad post? I think it would be good if the authoritative response could be pinned.

Is the offer only for today?

I wasn't referring to the developer's asking prices but to what the well located units are fetching on the "resale" market.

QROPS is something that is relevant only to people in UK pension schemes. For a pension fund member not yet drawing his pension and not intending to return to the UK, it could be a wise move. However, there are many hurdles and risks involved. It is an area where some middle men are making rich pickings and in which there are people operating with fraudulent intent . I would urge anyone of thinking of setting up a QROPS to take considerable care they fully understand the ramifications, and check very carefully the experience and repute of any adviser they employ. This is particularl

Nev I don't think you read to the very end of my post! Thanks again. Bazle

Yes, here: http://www.pattayatalk.com/forums/topic/57297-news-from-the-front-3/page__view__findpost__p__933203

Nev You subsequently amended this to Saturday. I duly arrived a few minutes before 11pm, sat down and ordered a bottle of Heineken. I wanted to be somewhere else so needed just the one beer, hence did not try any secret code to get two for the price of one. My drink arrived and I looked around to see if there was anyone who might be the big boss. Failing in that, I explained to a mamasan-looking person that I had agreed to meet you there. She went off to the cashier's desk and, shortly after, signalled me to join her there whereupon I was given your note and the gold card, for w

Confirmed! Now Saturday. Hope to see you around 11pm.

Is anyone aware of a high-end development at Bali Hi called Waterfront? Apparently, they are selling off-plan like hot cakes, and some people have already run up 20% profits. Apart from that, I can't help but think there is a property bubble about to burst here; so many condos being built yet ones finished 2 or 3 years ago still unsold. The Russian buyers intrigue me. Most of the units where I am seem to be owned by Russians, and I think that is quite common. Surely they can't all be oligarchs, so there seem to be quite a few well off "normal" Ruskies around.

Avenue Shopping Mall I mentioned previously about the changes happening at the back of the Mall. It looks very much as though the back is to become either the new front, or an equal front. Work continues on that with much of the back walls demolished in order to become shop-fronts. Inside, one of the circular areas is undergoing work with Coffee World, Cream & Fudge, and Pizza World on the ground floor all currently closed. On the floor above, the unit adjacent to the upper floor in Starbucks, is also being worked on. Outside the main entrance to Villa Market and

Thanks, Nev. I will try to get there. Am I going to have ongoing problems with the cashier's fellow service staff?

Nev Thanks fot your reply. I will try to go X-Zone tomorrow. What time will you be there? What is the issue with the cashier? Is she just refusing to follow instructions or did she not receive any? Cheers. Bazle

Why am I not surprised that this proved to be an abject failure! I went into X-Zone at 9.30 this evening and immediately went and spoke to the cashier. I showed her my white card, pointed to my name written on it and said "Nev tell me on internet that if I give you white card, you give me gold card". Her response was to say that the gold card costs 1,000 Baht. So I repeated what I said, and she repeated what she said! I asked her to call her manager. She ignored me and set about counting bags of 5 and 10 Baht coins. I assumed she was waiting for something but, after several minute

Good point! At least Nev is taking on board the points we have made. More than can be said of places like Heavens Above!

Nev Thank you for the offer which I will attempt to take up in the next few days. Could you also please deal with the issue of advertising 2 for 1 draught beer when, in fact, you have none. The guys should not be holding placards advertising something which is not, in fact, on offer. As to the date from which the cards were to be made available, your post on Secrets made it clear that it was LAST Friday, and on this board your post was ambiguous. Cheers. Bazle

I went into X-Zone at 10.15 this evening. As I was there well before the 10.30 offer cut-off time, I ordered a draught beer expecting to get two for the price of one (as per advertising placards). I was told that they had run out of draught. Now, this is the second time this has happened to me, so I query whether they EVER have draught available at Happy Hours. I ordered a bottle of Heineken thinking that at least I’d be able to get a 10% discount with their card. I duly walked over to the cashier and requested a card. (I had not done so before as the discount is not available for Hap

The above two statements do not reconcile: 16 December is in the week AFTER Nev posted this. I think he really meant 9 December. Nev has not been around this board since 6 December but posted this on Secrets on 8 December: So we should be able to get the cards NOW! Incidentally, if you wonder what the VIP room is, it was explained to be "for those who wish some private moments inside the club" at a cost of 250 Baht and has a shower.

I've been to Kinnaree on several occasions and probably on about half of them have done exactly that - without any hassle.

If you want a slightly more upmarket place, try the top floor food court of Royal Garden Plaza.

I walked past Sexy Agogo (Soi 7) last evening and the evening before. On both occasions it was closed. I can't say I was surprised. Today I located the new gogo opening in Soi LK Metro - Paradise. It is 2 doors up towards Soi Buakhao from The Drunken Duck. I took a picture of a notice in Sexy Girls Agogo (Soi 8) at the end of last month which shows both Sexy Agogo and Paradise are in the same group. Out with the old, in with the new. Let's just hope Paradise is considerably better than Sexy (AND not staffed by agency girls!)
