  2. They are just too cheap ..I always round the Bolt fare up to what I would have paid a motorbike taxi .. Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
  3. I think everything right up to Drifters was demolished at the time .. Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
  4. Yes use it regularly .. Jomtien to Rock Bar Khao Noi , darkside .motorbike taxi used to cost me 100bt Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
  5. Surely the biggest issue with Pattaya and Jomtien beaches is ..the water quality ! Not even mentioned in this report. Possibly , after 6 months of empty hotel and condo rooms not spewing excrement into the gulf, the water quality might be quite improved. Have to admit I did swim several times at Jomtien, after they closed my condo pool, but they soon put a stop to that too ! In the 4 years I've lived here ,plus previous visits ,I'd never swum at either beach, preferring to go to Koh Larn for a day trip whenever I felt the urge to swim in the sea ( or Koh Chang for a few days ) Sent from
  6. Filipino breakfast ! Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
  7. Living in Pattaya , I guess my situation is a little different than many. On my 2020 travel agenda was . 2 trips to Philippines , same as every year ( 1 of which is a Songkran escape ) A trip to NZ for a long planned family reunion that my brothers had put an enormous amount of work into. A trip to Perth WA for sons 40th birthday ..and a grandkids catch-up Regardless of missing all that I feel I would have rather have been here in Pattaya during the pandemic than almost anywhere else. It's been relatively painless, with lots of freedom of movement, access to necessities of life, warm wea
  8. Agree with all . I did see that throwing water from the back of pickups has been banned , so that would cut out a lot of the Thai youths. That's seems to be their chosen MO . Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
  9. They have.. Alternate option ..park in Rhompo ,walk across the road in half the time. Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
  10. No need for u take photos ..the whole story is on YouTube on ndtvi Pattaya channel the guy who's taken it over . Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
  11. Anyone watching "Treadstone" ? As a spin-off from the Jason Bourne movies I wanted it to be so good ! I'm up to ep 3 , and not getting into it yet. Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
  12. [quote post="1260539" timestamp="1576575164" name="Butch" I have never been refused a BB Visa when I've asked, and only once was I actually not given one. I could arguably put that down to the number of stamps I have in my PP, but I would hedge my bets on the immigration officer not really giving a shit whether I have one or not. So the generalized comment ..in your original post ..just ask for a BB and you'll get one is not correct .. You forgot to add ..have a long history of visitation , including previous BB stamps .. but , that's still not a guarantee .. This topic is regularly disc
  13. This is absolutely incorrect. Balikbayan is not a visa , but, a privilege . A privilege granted to a spouse or family member of a Filipino . Not girlfriend/fiancee ! The act states the husband/child must be arriving with the Filipino citizen . Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
  14. Make sure to go on a night it's open ..Fri, Sat, Sun only Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
  15. There is (or was, it's been a couple of years since I lived there ) a WU office right at the entrance to VT5 condos Jomtien .. virtually opposite Big Kahuna . Sent from my Mi A2 Lite using Tapatalk
  16. Haha I think it was 1995 for me ..the plane disembarked onto the tarmac ,and we had to walk to the terminal .. My ( chainsmoker ) wife , lit up on the walk .. I said WTF ! She just pointed to a group of workers smoking in the shade by the terminal building .. Sent from my vivo 1713 using Tapatalk
  17. Unfortunately ..as of today, Dave has closed the Cantina ! Sent from my vivo 1713 using Tapatalk
  18. My first landlord ..French guy , showed no inclination at all to process the TM30 , and eventually I was able to get the documents from him,and do it myself at Jomtien. ..paid a late fine ,think 1600 bt ?? , which i deducted from my next months rent. My current landlady ,Thai ( ladyboy :) ) Is keen to do it all correctly ,and registered within the first 24 hr of lease signing,and came back with the completed part ,to keep in my passport. When I advised her I was going out of the country she insisted i let her know on my return date,and she will go to Jomtien again. I told her dont both

  20. Also at the top floor of the Topps Supermarket newish Chilled building on Soi Khao Noi , if you're on the darkside . Sent from my SM-T535 using Tapatalk
  21. The thing is ..with the pre-determined fare ..acceptable to both you and the driver , then the route doesn't really matter , even if he does take you on a longer option ..it's only a loss to him , of fuel and time. Sent from my SM-T535 using Tapatalk
  22. Sandbar By the Sea , on the Dongtan Beach side road could also be an option ..when I stayed at VT5 , I alternated between Pastrami and Sandbar for breakfasts. Sent from my ASUS_T00J using Tapatalk
