  1. Did babies and young children sneak in? Babies can hardly be held to "break the law". Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  2. No problem. You are correct regarding the approx. million Dreamers who were bought to the US and have lived most of their lives there. They didn't ask for it but hey, send them back. Being right is having might I guess.
  3. It is interesting for someone like me to read these comments. Like many others I know little about the political system in the US however Trump has bought is into the limelight. I have noted however that the comments seem very black and white (literally) and insults about the players from the left and right at the norm rather than the exception. In fact, reading the comments here leads people like me to believe that the US is on a very bad slippery slope. It allows people to carry rifles designed for war by mentally challenged people. The race relations never seem to actually improve, simp
  4. Cannot help but think that whilst the questions are legitimate that you just come to the place and enjoy what it has to offer. This place is unlike others and I am sure that well before you booked you did some serious homework on the internet. The joy of Pattaya is letting it happen rather than planning. Walk into most gogo bars and make it known what you and your wife would like and as long as you flash the cash you will be welcomed with open arms. As for strip clubs well there is nudity available all over the place and you might have to pay a few to put their gear back on again! Bring a
  5. I recall answering this question for someone else and getting my ass torn out. This was because he didn't tell us what was important to him and human nature will therefore make us substitute what we want rather than what you do. Make life a bit easier. tell us your accommodation preference. Possible cost/price limits. Facilities required such as pool, gym and restaurant. You will get a lot of dubious suggestions without more info.
  6. No problem to me Patna but keep on posting the photos! Best of luck with whatever your new/next venture is.
  7. Thinking about this I have one other candidate. A boardie was asking about Chang Mai a few days ago and perhaps the best breakfast was part of the very reasonable nightly rate at the Pornping Hotel. I was having a drink on the rooftop bar with some other Euro people staying there and everyone mentioned it and in some cases took fruit and yoghurt out and that was their food for the day as they stuffed themselves full in the restaurant.
  8. I can only suggest that you keep the thread alive. I am happy meeting members but I am never 100 % sure about my time table. July is a way off. Ask the question again and I am sure that there will be a boardie or two to have a drink with. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  9. Dont suppose its any good telling you that the Friendship Market is only a couple of hundred metres from the crematorium?
  10. One thing that might help is a phone app. I am sure that there are a number of them but the essence is "Internet Sweet Spots". As far as I can tell whatever system you have will have black spots and after a while you know when you need to shift in order to get a strong signal. A friend of mine living in Pattaya taught m that this is a reality.
  11. I was there a while ago and did a trip report. I was influenced by Rhino Tusk (great photos) but perhaps if you look at "Search" you will find other points of view.
  12. Depending on your needs. Are you a smoker as I think that would make a hell of a difference. Non smoking: Retox Soi Lengkee. 98 baht, Almost next to Retox is the Vogue/Thailand and the breakfast is about the same price but you can sit out doors and smoke. Killkenny. Basic breakfast is 110 baht but you can smoke and you do have the Soi LK circus to look at.
  13. One last comment regarding Leather. I had heard of his Private Dancer but could not find a copy in our conservative land. One night I was working late and looked it up on the Internet and lo and behold, there it was ordering me to print it of while the office was empty! I did so and wondered if in fact there was checks on the printers and paper usage as this was about 200 pages of print. I didn't get the sack and I didn't get an account but I did start a long enjoyment of his work. I always assumed that there had been an 'arrangement' when Ricky was running the Private Dancer club because if I
  14. Funny but I too know Praed Street and in the only other Spider book that had a presence in Pattaya he puts his mate up in the Penthouse Hotel and that get a bit of free publicity.
  15. I haven't read this entire thread so if I duplicate, sorry. I have just finished read Stephen Leather's TAKEDOWN which I think is probably his latest. It a hard to put down read and while not the best of his work is still worth a few hours of your time if your into the hard case mentality beloved of the Lee Child school of writing. What else makes this worth a review is the Pattaya connection. As is probably well known Leather is no stranger to Pattaya and brings the place into this novel. I will get back to that. The book concerns a number of threads but of interest to Pattaya peopl
  16. I can understand you not wanting to debate or indeed substantiate your comments. I would have thought that the offer of a retraction or an apology would have had you drooling. Bugger! Wrong again. As for the green/red ticks. I am still a long way behind some of the best contributors to this board and right or wrong, I always tend to read their contributions. I will concede that travel in general and Thailand in particular are important parts of my life but that is perhaps why I have totally no interest in social dating or chat sites. If I have anything to say its here and not Twitter etc
  17. Jacko. You mentioned that you wanted to get back to topic. For this reason I have been quiet for a few days but perhaps you will allow me to take umbrage at the above. To the very best of my knowledge I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN A LIE about you and would be pleased to retract it or apologise should that be the case. I have said many times that a mans spending habits are up to themselves but should I wish to express an opinion then its up to me. I am one of the most strident believers that Pattaya is for everyone, and be you well heeled or frugal, you can still have the time of your life here. Pl
  18. Same thing happened to me quite some years ago and it was very hard to get over. I guess that somewhere in my psyche I may have a reluctance to get involved with freelancers but then again it still happens. I can only believe that when a girl is employed by a bar/club there is at least some possibility of tracing her but then I ask myself who's side the cops would have been on. I did call them but when they turned up the guest register and indeed the receptionist were of no value at all.
  19. Fisherman the use of the invented word slobbishness I think covers your description of guys who neither dress, smell or look the part. It's easier to say than list the sins individually. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  20. I wasn't going to bother but hey, let’s do it. So. By preaching a bit of caution this labels us as "Glass half full" people? I don't think so. Perhaps forewarned is forearmed is just as applicable. As your previous posts point out, and indeed the above, you are prepared to pay 4000 baht plus 1500 for a LT plus all the trimmings. This is over the odds for Pattaya but each to his own. The vast majority simply cannot pay this when added to food, hotel, flights and what have you but as sure as hell they all have a good time in this town. Then again a lot live here full time and there are
  21. Evil. It depends what value you place on the view. Yes, the Baht Buster is great value but only if you want TV sets showing a different form of sport on it. Give me people watching any day and bugger the 11 baht difference! Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  22. Kilkenny has a 99 baht breakfast. The breakfast is fine but ask for the fried tomatoes, not canned. The the real joy of the place is that the view from the corner of Soi LK is as good as it gets if you are a people watcher. Sip the coffee, see the Pattaya life and think just what 99 baht get you in most of the world. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
  23. As usual. a big thanks. The multi use condoms got me going.
  24. Well done. This is the best way to handle your question. Don't forget to spend an hour or two each day looking at other accommodation options in the area that you like. I admit that I took some time of looking and inspection before I found what I wanted. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk
