Re: tax at murphs

If a breakfast is advertised at 99 baht, it should be 99 not 106

Re: tax at murphs

Whatever Murph's rationale, the price displayed should be the price you pay.

Re: Town bars moving

I took a stroll up 94 yesterday. I cannot see whether this is viable mainly due to distance from town. The bar area only takes off in the evenings. Apart from the regulars, visitors to the area stroll/drink/whatever down there of an evening maybe after a meal, I do wonder if a lot of people would bo...

Re: Town bars moving

I agree about the Natpob place, what a disaster and waste of money - ok before it wasnt up to much but some decent cheap eateries and a bit of character, what's in its place is a soul-less deserted mall, which was, when I have been in (twice) deserted, even the shops were locked up whilst their owne...

Town bars moving

I was told by a bar owner last night that all town centre bars (Binta, Selakam etc) are being moved out to Soi 94 in the imminent future
The 12 midnight closing will continue until this is accomplished. The current bar area is being redeveloped.

Re: tax at murphs

Much as I disagree with this practice at Murphs, perhaps deception is a little strong but certainly I would agree that a deliberate lack of transparency is employed. I have not come across this in any other bar but would be interested to know if any other bar does this. As I said I do not frequent t...

Re: tax at murphs

I too do not go to Murphs for this reason
Of course other places pay tax but the price displayed is the price you pay. So why does Murphs not do this?
Displaying non inclusive prices is misleading

Did you know?

... that in the very early days of space exploration, NASA spent 3.1 million USD developing a ball point pen that would work in a zero gravity environment.
The Russians continued to use a pencil.

Re: Hua Hin Water Crisis

You are correct. The amount of water on this planet is virtually the same as it always has been albeit stored in different forms at different times (ice, oceans etc)
Water does arrive on earth on board elements arriving from space which is offset by water loss to space from earth

Re: Hua Hin Water Crisis

Whilst I absolutely agree with the necessity of conserving water AND at the risk of getting shouted at on here ..... I find it difficult to accept the fac that golf courses can continue to use water ad hoc. I accept that the have their own boreholes and water supply but .. same sky, same clouds, sam...
