My dear old folks are getting pretty old (and more than half-way ~ but charmingly ~ insane) Cheers ... That's how I hope to end up! - In the cold UK now, Hoping to be in Thailand for Christmas but will probably have to go to Pattaya to Visit my Son who is on a 4 month Diving internship. We would li...

Jockey I agree with almost everything you said except this bit: Equal rights - sure, as long as your a white christian middle class straight male etc. etc. etc. eerhh Positive Discrimination anyone? - somebody from a 'minority; who is not the best qualified person for the job gets given it anyway. T...

* Check for jelly-fish before swimming in the sea. - * Check for sharks...normally trying to sell you a house. * you can always tell a katoy...its the one with the attitude strutting up and down the street like the 'big-I-am'. * If you're staying at one of the larger hotels,check the bar tarrif,- (...

Macnet 1 asked us all for advice and got very little (yet another post that
turned into a chat-room).

I'm sorry I did not realise that making these threads interesting to read as well as informative was a crime - If that is the case is there a Hua Hin chat room ?

It's funny in the UK I have no time for the pathetic excuse that we call a royal family. I also hate all the religions. When in LOS - I feel genuinely pleased with the respect they show their royal family and I also feel very humble when visiting Wats. I am also fascinated by the spirit houses and c...

I agree that there may be 2 sides to some stories but at the end of the day you do not grass up fellow expats FOR ANY REASON. That is breaking the unwritten code of what makes being an expat in Thailand such a special honour. If you have a gripe then take it outside and settle it that way like a ma...

My only disappointment, found a taxi driver whose driving I liked and booked him for the airport journey (1500 Bht) but he turned up with a friend in a very nice Merc to take us instead. This guy was the worst driver EVER! I was convinced that we wouldn't get there at all, we weren't in a hurry but...

Now, after all this time i follow a philosophy rather than a religion. I still do believe in the divine, though in my form which is mostly buddhist/taoist/animist/mozi .....and when I want to "speak to God" I ride up to the viewpoint over HH and the hills, or down to Kao Takiab beach wher...

I suppose I should offer apologies for my post, maybe I gave my view a bit to passionately. However I believe the catholic church have consistently failed to address two key areas and because of that I find it hard to take it seriously. One, priests who abuse children and are protected by the church...

Thailand does not need the catholic church, imagine the Thais all running around feeling guilty for everything - oh and how much more rampant would AIDS be as the stupid pope still refuses to wake up in the real world. Face it the catholic church is just a meeting place for kiddy fiddlers and those ...

No actually, I used to live in Dartmouth but have steadily moved closer to Somerset without actually crossing the border. If I have to live in England, Devon is it. If I can get remote working and a decent internet connection sorted out I will be in Thailand before the year is out, hopefully to stay...

Hey acerockolla, I see that you're residing in God's country. Which part of Devon are you from? We don't get that many Janners on here. It's not god's country it's Poland by the Sea! It once was but It and England as a whole really are going downhill fast. And I'm sorry to offend you but my heart l...

What was the outcome of this story - did the copper ever get any real punishment for this cowardly attack.
I cannot understand why so little is made of this type of thing in the UK media.

EDIT _ Sorry just found another thread with the answer!

As my post stated this travel agent was in Manila (the Philippines) - We were having a mini asian tour and were head quartered in Manila and booking through her (much cheaper than doing it in the UK!) And so I knew nothing about Pattaya, it was my first visit to Thailand (the second was two weeks ag...

that would be Patayya then? :cheers: Ah Pattaya, went there last year as recommended by our travel agent in Manila - We checked into this crappy hotel (that was also recommended, pre-booked and paid for) - with in an hour we moved out of that toilet and moved into the Marriot (much nicer) we did oc...
