Re: New 2hr ferry service to start between Hua Hin- Pattaya

cant see it lasting at all the two resorts appeal to totally opposite type of tourists. Hua Hin and Pattaya have one thing in common, they are world class golfing destinations and there is significant traffic between the two on that basis alone. All the Pattaya golf groups, of which there are many ...

Re: why didnt anthony bourdain return to cambodia?

It was the haircut not the food ! :D I think it was the original episode anyway, when he got the street side barbers cut in PP. Carefully explained to the guy what he wanted who smiled nodded and proceeded to scalp him. Looked okay to me but he was seriously pissed off. I guess haircuts are a massiv...

Re: SHV Foreigners living in the dumps (ie.40-60$ rooms)

You can't polish a turd, expats in $40-$60 rooms in bad areas of SHV are life's economic failures and spending any excess on beer and drugs is to drown the misery. Necessity not choice.

Re: Tourist couple brutally beaten by Thai teenage thugs in Phuket.

Ooops. Made the mistake of going to Thailand, the Land of De-evolution. Intelligent tourists go elsewhere. Better luck next time. What exactly happened to you in Thailand Sigmoid that has resulted in your total bitterness towards all things Thai, did you get taken to the cleaners by a bargirl or so...

Re: FREE thai tourist visa today thru Feb 28th

I take this announcement as good news as it would seem to confirm that the clampdown on Chinese zero dollar tours has had the effect of cutting significant Chinese numbers. I'm happy if their tour buses are not completely clogging up the streets of Pattaya, aside from their general inconsiderate beh...

Re: New 10 year thai visa

Yeah I understand the visa rules Richard, I've been based here part or full-time for 20 years and I'm on the " retirement " non O myself. What I've never heard quoted is the number of people over 50 retired in Thailand and therefore the potential pool this new visa is seeking to draw on. A...

Re: New 10 year thai visa

I'd be curious to know how many over 50's are residing in Thailand on the 1 year extension to the Non O, it's not a figure I've ever seen or heard quoted.

Re: Suck Eggs World,There Is A New Sheriff Coming To Town...

Bit of a pisser for Trump really, he's got to pay his taxes now. If you want an example of an underdog Sailorman look no further than the Scottish farmer who wouldn't be bullied off the land he occupied for years because Trump didn't like the view of his dwelling from his new golf course in Aberdeen...

Re: Thai Smile starts daily BKK-PP flights.

Just an update on my experience with Thai Smile Bangkok to Chiang Rai return a couple of weekends ago. I was very impressed with the whole experience from start to finish and would use them in preference to ThaiAirAsia if I had the choice based on my trip. I certainly wouldn't classify it as a budge...
