So a bit of the cesspool is now elsewhere.....I'm sure the citizens of Pattaya are happy with that...I know I am....

richsilver you have made my day. I never thought I would see Darrel as a food snob....but you have managed it with ease!

You wrote, " I prefer 5’8 (and above) surgically enhanced females." And you are asking us to be serious?

Would you prefer for you Jing they comment on your last meal?.....and before he slipped on the wet tiles he had consumed.....at a very reasonable price, in an air conditioned, but not too crowded restaurant, where the service was efficient, delivered with a smile, if a little on the slow side

For me Darkside has been home for 10 yrs. It has changed immensely since then but I still enjoy what it has to offer. Frankly, I have no interest in the hole in the wall bars and all the useless banter that comes with it. However, I do enjoy the more natural surroundings of the area ( not busy soi nerm plub waan/kao noi or kao thalo), bike rides, cross country running, motorcross, fast access to motorway, lakes, golf courses, more and more varied restaurants, wider plots of land, lack of 2 week idiots who feel they know all and are rude. If you live here, you have access to everything Pattaya has to offer, when and if you want it, without having to face the ugliness of it 24 hrs a day. Sadly, as it happens everywhere, this will change with time....then it will be time to move somewhere else!

Yes but the OP isnt as negative, bitter and twisted about property in Thailand as some others are that dont miss a chance whatever the topic is to debase anyone involved in property

East side of Sukumvit road.... where the normal people live.

So lets have all the floods like last year and then this year's droughts.

Well done to all of you that says "Mae Wong Area Should Be Protected As Wildlife Sanctuary" for what?

I ask you all?

Birds fly away and the walking wildlife have to move on due west.

What I am saying is that in Kan we have two very large Dams with a lot of wildlife, birds etc. built 20 odd years ago which has helped farmers and this Province (two rivers) safe from flooding and life goes on here as normal during last year's floods.

What is more importent is that farmers can sow,reep and feed folks in Thailand, make a few baht for themselves and most of all keep the flood water down.

Win

P.S. and if this Dam can make power as well like the ones in Kan, that would be an added bonus, then no need for the Nuke ones then.

I wonder if I create a fake profile for myself on facebook, get some photo's of a hot Thai chick.
knock on a few doors so to speak.
Maybe I could make a few bucks myself.
At least stock up the wine cellar a bit.
yes some people really ARE THAT STUPID.

Other than land confiscated from a foreign motocycle gang in Phuket, you won't find it ( and that was for money laundering) .  A fact that is conveniently lost on the RENT, RENT, only RENT brigade

And do you really believe that a change of name is going to diminish a country’s turbulent history or reputation around the world?

The problem is the examples you have quoted for reasons why Thailand should revert back to it`s previous name of Siam, quote: Sex tourist haven, tsunami, financial crisis, land of scams, land of IP theft, floods, corruption, riots, coups, etc. is typical of the impressions that many Westerners have of the country, mainly bad propaganda fed to the public by the Western media and of course like you, many believe this as being fact, or in other words, I saw it on TV or read in a newspaper, so it must be true.

If this is what the West wants to believe regarding the Thai nation as a whole, than I would guess that according to the Thais, that’s our problem and I very much doubt they have concerns regarding our opinions of Thailand and the Thai people, especially considering that most of this trash is only half baked truths anyway and has been well exaggerated and taken far out of proportion over the years.

I heard a rumour that there is a volcano will erupt in Bangkok later this year?  Is there any evidence for this, or is it just a rumour?





Seriously OP, what the hell sort of question is that?  How can there be rumours about natural events? What do they teach kids in school these days, cos it sure isn't common sense?

I think it's because they spend all week in traffic jams in Bangkok that they want to experience the same 'at home' feeling in Pattaya on their weekends.

I always thought they changed the name of the country so that Whispering Ted could say "Wattana Thailand" instead of "What an ass I am"...

I do not believe that it is due to poor education. Even educated people all over the world do not know what is heathy or not. Who can blame them. In my time I have been told that milk is good/bad for you. Eggs are good/bad for you. Red meat is good/bad for you. It just depends on what you read on which day.  

However - look on the positive side.

Many people who eat the stuff (due to lack of funds?) can be happy knowing that the price is stable for a while.
