Many thanks for the update. Always good to hear about a ho hum gogo bar closing the doors with the hope that it's replaced by something better! Strange to hear that a customer who died in a fish restaurant. It's usually about two hours after the meal before I spew and have to spend an hour on the toilet. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Keep them coming. Always appreciated. As a matter of interest I know where Fever is (Opposite Exotic Bar) in Soi LK but is TopGun the old Pulse club? While your at it did either Champagne or Bachelors reopen in LK or is it 2 closed and 2 opened ? Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Sitting by the pool reading this. People surely wonder why I am laughing out loud. Hilarious! Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

I always appreciate the effort and the fact that there are so few posts regarding Pattaya that it's almost a rarity. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Agree. In fact I gave you a tick for bringing it up. It's strange really. For many years this guy has been bringing us news, views and great entertainment and yet somebody thinks that it's wasting our time and rewarding him accordingly. Nowt so strange as folk! Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

As always, thanks for the effort.

Hi there and greetings Adam. Sorry I missed this one. I do however hope that I might make the 3rd of October crawl but I will contact you nearer the time. Have a great party. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

I have been looking at alternative booking sites. I am not sure what the situation is in other countries but in NZ travel agents apparently get no commission for air travel and surcharge for their "expertise _. There are so many sites like Expedia, Kayak and so forth. My question is are there good, bad, dubious outfits that you would recommend or totally avoid? I would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks Ron. I noted Heaven Above in my introduction Last week a big guy lit up. He was stopped after a single puff. Now that is good management Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Yeah and some prick started on a cigar. Now many people say that the like cigar smoke. Ok but not the general shite smoked here. I also would draw attention to vaping. Some smells are horrible. Some smokers don't just take a drag but blow out an endless cloud of smoke. It's the change of scenery added to the fact that right now Pattaya is as quiet as I have seen it. Imagine high season!

Pat. You may well be correct but even a suggestion like this will bring out those who believe that they have a god given right to pollute. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Bill. The point I was making is the proliferation of smoke. The air is thick with vapes, Marijuana and cigarettes. It can only get worse. I not a non smoking Nazi by the way. Friends and family smokers figure importantly in my life. I am against inconsiderate people. Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

I am in Pattaya as I write this. Great trip for me but it must be hell for most bars and clubs as there a few spending customers. There is however one are that is causing me some distress and that is the mixture of cigarettes, ganja, cigars and vaping smells. Thankfully no pipe smokers. This will only get much worse as tourism picks up. It is for this reason that I believe that we need a new forum called possibly "Non Smoking Venues". I have been very happy to support Heaven Above, Sugar Sugar, Windmill and Windmill Annabelle which are non smoking on the ground floors. Many gogo bars have few customers and possibly decent air con systems so it's not a problem yet. One other place to support is Cheap Charlie's. This is open fronted but again non smoking inside. Nothing will piss me off more is someone sitting beside, seeing me eat a meal and start smoking. As we all know, common sense isn't that common. Needless to say it's up to the bar /club owners but perhaps a bit of pressure from the majority (non smokers) might pressure the minority (smokers) to have a bit more consideration.

As ever a good read and appreciated Sent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk

Can I suggest the following. The scams that I am aware of happen when you get there. The drivers attempt to steer you in a direction that you dont want to go. For this reason and to answer your question the simple answer is to Google a half dozen local taxi firms, compare the pricing and order ahead. Its not totally foolproof as this wont stop the driver asking you to change your accommodation to a "Much better hotel". Just dont let a taxi driver piss you about and all will be well. PS. I would give the same advice to anyone going to Bangkok or any other place.

Ok. Yes Debua. Thanks for righting my wrong. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Just a few steps away is the also new Labua. Could be worth a look. Met some guys in December staying there. They were quite impressed and the daily rate was very good. May have changed now. Sent from my CPH1941 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the comments. Looking at some options for forthcoming travel there are a lot of options where there is a 10/12 hour lay over in KL. In the past I have found that eating and drinking there on stopover is an expensive proposition and I might have been better to have got some sleep in a capsule for a few hours.
