They also have a scam for motorcycles if you are a farang. It happened to me and then I observed for 10 minutes and it was repeated twice more (only with farangs). You tell them you want 100 baht. They push a button and give you 100 baht, but if you pay attention you notice you only get 2.2 liters, so essentially they are charging you 45 baht per liter instead of 34-35 which is the current price for gasohol 91...They are able to quickly change the cost per liter and then change it back again. Stick with PTT stations!

I went to Mityon and they did it for me. Pick it up in two weeks. Still thinking about adding 2nd class insurance for theft, but have to find an agent.

Sadly I am only in Pattaya Tuesday through Friday every week...

It is time to renew my road tax/insurance. Are there places in town that can do it or do I have to go out to the land transport office?

Did you move?

I am looking for unfurnished. Can you send me details? Thanks

I did receive an email from Tony. It was not what I had hoped for, but in fairness I do want to acknowledge that he replied. There was no offer of the 5,900 promotion so I will keep trying at California Wow to see if I can get the 9,000 lifetime many people have told me they have.

I suppose it is possible if I went back to California Wow three or four times the offer would keep changing, but I am thinking about going into the Bangkok club and seeing if I can get the 9,000 baht membership that some people have told me about.

I sent an email yesterday morning - no response. I called the number and that just got me staff and when I asked how I can speak with Tony she said, "He not here," and hung up! I am not grousing, I am sharing experience and hoping for some assistance. That is what forums are all about. By the way, your claim that Tony always gets back with an offer to work things out. May I ask what you base that on. I have not read or heard a single positive comment about the man other than he is wealthy.

It seems I have two horrible choices - California Wow, where I have to pay 14,900 for a year and hope I can get on aerobic equipment without waiting forever in line (I just want the gym for losing weight and building cardio). or Tonys for 7,999 with totally rude and unhelpful staff along with no access when I am in Bangkok. What a great choice!

Unfortunately the location is a bit out of the way for me and I don't need any excuses not to go!

Tony's Fitness on Third road across from the Food Court

I saw big signs outside Tony's Fitness offering promotion of one-year membership for 5,9999 baht yesterday, so I went it to join as I need to drop some kilos. Inside there was nobody at the member desk to help. I was told to wait. After 10 minutes a woman came over and asked what I wanted. I told her I wanted to see the facilities and join for one year. She did not say one word to me (I can speak Thai fairly well). Not even a hello, nothing! She just handed me a piece of paper to fill out - no information about the club or anything. I filled it out and handed it to her. Again she did not say one word to me. She wrote something down in a book and then looked up at me and said, "7,999 baht." That was it, not another word. I told her that I thought there was a promotion. She said, "Are you member now?" I said that I wasn't, and she said, "Then you pay 7,999 baht." The rudeness and lack of any assistance was enough to make me just walk out. This is no way to treat potential customers, especially in these economic times. Unfortunately, California Wow is still double the price so Tony's may get my money after all, but what a lousy way to start.
