I brought back three bottles of whiskey. I declared it and paid $12.00 duty on two bottles. I would think the same applies to cigs. I'll check two weeks from now when I return to the US.

I asked about a restaurant or deli in Pattaya. Jontiem is to far for me to travel on my scooter

Anyone know a restaurant in Pattaya where I can get a good corned beef, coleslaw and Russian dressing on rye? Jewish deli would work.

This is a snooze you lose fare. Book it now.

Unfortunately my health issues caused me to cancel my Pattaya trip. I'm looking to come back within a year.

Excellent price from Philly! Usual price is $1300.

I add my medication list, phone number list and hotel business card to the above.

I tend to buy mid line. Most of the top of the line features but much lower buy in.

I've always enjoyed the food at the Queen Vic. Try the fish & chips. Never had a bad meal there.

I found that a one way ticket is way over priced. What do they want for a round trip?

Great price.

I've bought a few refurb Garmin over the years. Cheaper then new and worked well.

Except for #5, I run into the same problem at our local supermarket.

A friend of mine who taught ESL recommended his students to use English language TV programs for children. They speak correct basic vocabulary English. Good luck with the visa.

LOL. When I'm in Thailand, I pay for a car and driver to take me where I want to go. Here at home where I drive myself. Detour mode works well.

I agree with Gary my Garmin has a detour button. Works well.

I bought a cheap Samsung phone for less then 1K Baht. Works well and the phone was new.

You might want to suggest he attend a Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. They can be very helpful.

I used BKK Air when I flew to Siem Reap years ago. Excellent service.

"Funny thing is...I never got a "thank you" from anyone for helping, but what do you expect ...? :clueless" No good deed goes unpunished. Good on you for helping the guy out.

No. Building management can take care of this. "As to the type of water tanks one normally finds in houses, the blue plastic and fibre glass ones don't come with drains. My current stainless tank does have one but it is impossible to get to. You just made me go into the garden and look." I'd consider having a drain installed. You'd be surprised at all the sludge that collects on the bottom of the tank.

You can have a great time in either place. BKK is more expensive. I'd stay three days in BKK at the end of my trip. Pattaya is a friendly town. Walk into a beer bar and introduce yourself. You'll do fine. Where are you staying?
