  1. This is amazing, first of all she's preaching in English not the best way for trying to "save" Thais. 

     

    My thoughts entirely,  to walk around the streets exclaiming "Jesus!" is more likely to make people think you've dropped something on your foot or lost your flip flop in a puddle .

  2. I was always under the impression that booking about 4 months in advance is the best.  

     

    What's your experience?

     

     

     

    I think that's about right .

     

    I had a chat with a travel agent one time who reckoned it was the best idea to book in and around that period 

     

    Its all really a bit hit and miss and there can be a lot of price brackets for the same seats , its frustrating when prices go up and down daily .

     

    My advice would be if you see a price you think is decent just book it and never check again .

  3. Thanks for that RX I'll give it a go .

     

    I'll not be back before Sept so I'll probably loose the number , I've backed up all my numbers to my phone so hopefully OK .

  4. It used to be Stringfellows but maybe thats changed now judging by reports .

     

    I saw some sights in there over the years , I remember a big fat fellow sitting in the middle furiously wanking two ladyboys who sat either side of him - put me in mind of the old sports show Ski Sunday .

     

    I also saw a big foreign lady strip off and pole dance with her big hairy beaver and beef curtains on full display ....not for the faint hearted ...even the ladyboys were  taken aback .

  5. That's some crazy driving !!! 

     

    Add taxi drivers to that list also , and motorbike drivers ...in fact pretty much most people on the roads out there .

     

    The only time I feel stressed in Thailand is crossing the road or riding in a taxi . 

     

    Even a tussle with one of Big Tel's rather sassy "ladies" would be less dangerous .

  6. Water off a duck's back  

     

    Yes I'm in that mode now I couldn't care less .

     

    I'm bored of explaining I'm on a budget , I have to work hard and save for a holiday , that I don't go out drinking every night at home , that I pay bills etc etc etc ...

     

    They still give you that look that they know you come from the land of milk and honey .

  7. The only bar I actively avoid nowdays is Obsessions in Pattaya .

     

    No matter how many times I decide to gave the place one last chance it always has the same conclusion ...bill padding and arguments , a shame though as they have a nice bunch of ladyboys working there .

     

    I find there is a big difference in all bars whether you are alone or with friends , if I'm with friends I'll go anywhere and more often than not its fun ..... go somewhere alone (even somewhere regular) and you get more of the hard sell .

     

    I suppose its like a wilder beast getting separated from the pack   

  8. Thanks for the review Snowball .

     

    When I clicked on the link I instantly recognized Pat/Patty from Soi 8 Pattaya , so if she matched the pics as you say it must be her .

     

    It figures as she was in London last year and has just recently returned again .

     

    She is a sweet one and does speak good English but is a little quiet/shy , I've always liked her . 

  9. I'm glad its banned what a pointless habit lets hope they enforce it  .

     

    And while we are at it lets hope someone actually enforces the smoking ban in bars so the rest of us can get a breath of fresh air instead of inhaling other peoples smoke .

  10.   Proud to say to this day I have never had a cup of coffee; ever.

     

    Tried a few sips way back when, it's just not my thing. Don't like the taste, same same whether it's iced coffee or coffee ice cream.

     

     

     

    Me too I can't stand the stuff , I smell actually makes me feel sick .
