Displayed prices are for multiple nights. Check the site for price per night. I see hostels starting at 200b/day and hotels from 500b/day on agoda.

  1. Back when I owned a condo on Soi 13 between 2nd Road and Beach Road there was no way to leave and not get hammered. Large groups of drunk farangs at both ends of Soi 13. And they weren't there "celebrating" anything. These invaders were complete assholes looking to screw up someone else's day. Songkran in Isaan is fun. In Pattaya it sucks. And is way too long.
  2. I DID have a 67 Camaro but alas it was a 327 with 210 HP not the hi performance one. And an automatic. Probably why I'm alive today. LOL. Kev - looking at classics.autotrader.com seems they range from $20,000 (600,000 baht) for a car that might run to $250,000 (8,000,000 baht) for a car that LOOKS like an original car in perfect condition but the underlying engine suspension etc is modern and really fast. $50,000 seems the sweet spot if you just want one that is solid and drives OK.
  3. Looks like the cars in there are cycled thru and change. Time I was in there they had my younger times dream car. A 67 Camaro with a big engine. Agreed the food is very good too.
  4. All good advice. And the last part is a massive understatement. 😃
  5. A price point would help. Also why a kitchen? You realize if you stay in town you are always steps away from lots of restaurants and food carts and they are cheap. I mean OK I always want a place with a fridge and microwave for breakfast if I wake up early cause it's not a morning town. But otherwise unimportant IMO. But give a price range and perhaps have some ideas.
  6. Lets hope that like a lot of announcements this one is forgotten within a few weeks and Bolt survives.
  7. Yup. Taxis political clout in action. Which would be OK if I could call one to my hotel and get a ride for 100 baht all in across town. And yeah I know what tuktuks are. If they worked like Bolt I would consider them even though they are not as protected from the crazy traffic as a car.
  8. I hope not. But if they do and it works like Bolt I'll accept it. I just want more than 2 wheel transport available with a fixed price up front and no BS.
  9. It will suck if bolt dies
  10. There is no purer comedy than the ability to take the piss out of ones self. 😃
  11. I love that skit.
  12. Jeez from a 380 to a 737? Like booking a limo and getting a Kia Soul. 🤣
  13. I would not drive a motorcycle all the way from Pattaya to Bangkok. I do not trust the other drivers enough to make that trek. As a fellow Septuagenarian I like cars. Full size cars. LOL. If I ever return to Thailand I will try to fly Asiana on a 380 if the price is similar. Well I'll first try the non-stop from Vancouver. But I think they have priced it over my pain threshhold.
  14. Yeah I thought he meant the carriers. Everyone I know who has been on one likes them.
  15. Bummer if you have to sit on the tarmac that two hours. Heck even just a short walk around would be nice. On the 380 Asiana announced they brought theirs out of mothballs and it flies LAX-ICN. There is a non-stop (real) from YVR-BKK that is LONG operated by Air Canada. But it is seasonal. And maybe it isn't still running. I flew that 3 years back. Hey, long assed flight but one hop from America I like it.
  16. Do you get to exit the plane in that 2 hour layover? A shower would be nice.
  17. I was in a BYD SUV a few weeks back and agreed. Fit and finish good. Only question I would have is longevity and reliability. Probably also good but don't know. Did not care for the seat position in the MG pickup. Back seat not comfortable.
  18. Nice melons. (Low hanging fruit) I know tooooo easy. 🤣
  19. Saw that drive by last night. Wondering if it cleared all the potholes with that low clearance.
  20. Road is OK now so I'd love an updated review of this place.
  21. I live with 4 of the little furry bastards. I have no doubt they would have to push the button.
  22. Isn't the star rating based on which services it provides? Like it could be 4 star if it has a diner, gym, pool, etc. but it doesn't mean what quality it is. Partly asking as I thought it meant what services they had not quality. I am prepared to be corrected.
  23. I cringe thinking about needing to use 2 wheels as transport in Pattaya. Have lost 2 friends over the years. Between horrible roads and unskilled or drunk drivers I find myself acting like a WWI pilot when I WALK near a road with my head on a swivel. I guess at least moving with traffic is something. Baffles me when I watch people walk side by side in groups on Soi Buakao or other narrow busy roads. They must think angels watch over them. Bolt is the greatest addition to Pattaya since the 90s.
  24. There are badges?
  25. All I did was answer a question. So I suggest you request whoever put the original photo up to move it. Cheers.
