Don't hold ya breath mate, it's one thing many places get wrong, including several bars on the 6.

Some bars play it for the staff and don't care about the customers and then there are bars that will play it for the customers not worrying about the staff. The successful ones will find the happy medium

Several of those bars on the 6 have the music that loud, I can't actually stand out on the street in front of them. Insane methinks!

Losing both my parents and sister in their 50’s and being in the same age group has really made me reevaluate my life. I now don’t worry about anything, just live life by the day. I have enough money to last me forever but I I do want to get get back working for the sense of purpose each day.

I managed to suffer the music in "Lust" on Soi 6 for a wee while, but it was so loud as to be bloody offensive. Excessively loud music can and does deter repeat customers, I'd have stayed there and purchased more drinks had the music been at a reasonable level. Sometimes a manager should "read" the bar and customer base and adjust the volume of the music accordingly.

Good luck 👍 no chips for me , most of the top guys in my leagues have bench boost left , so praying I can hang on ...

Do you think it might be because there is a roof on the complex and the sound from the amplifiers has nowhere to go but bounce off the walls? I've been to rock concerts in both outdoor amphitheaters and arenas and all things being equal, the sound always sounded louder and fuller inside an arena, especially if the acoustics were top quality. Being outdoors, the sound has a place to go and the listener doesn't feel so bombarded with an ear-splitting sound. I've seen a couple of the vloggers I subscribe to, namely Nick Dean, use their channels to keep their audience updated on the progress of that complex, and when I'm back next month, I'll have a look for myself. But I'm with several of you guys on the volume, if it's just too damn loud to even have a conversation with a bar girl or with a mate, then I'm out of there. I think that is one of the secrets of Billabong on LK Metro doing such good trade. When the band is playing, the open air allows for the sound to fade out into the night while all the customers sitting at the tables can enjoy a drink and casual conversation with a companion or their friends and not feel any need to split the scene due to the band being played at such a high volume. Maybe if the word gets out about that on Las Vegas, they will lower the volume to a more reasonable level.

Rack of lamb,delicious!

I've been wed to a Thai for 33 years & have never regretted it,you hear a lot about "my girl is different"....my missus is a one off without a doubt.

This! You gotta enjoy life while you can. Money is money, you can get more. Why continue being miserable. I don't want to have any regrets in regards to the above. I've spent loads of holidays and going to/doing stuff i enjoy or always wanted to do. And i will continue to do so, it makes me happy, and is so worth it ...

That's as good as it gets for the likes of West Ham, their never going to compete with the top 4

Not sure how they judge success at WH ... 🤷‍♂️

Never married personally, had one lucky escape. Love being single now, can concentrate on work etc and enjoy more great trips to Thailand.

Garlic chicken and mushroom, with flied lice

That was last time and there's a fair whack of PF on there. I saw Roger Waters last year and he did loads of Floyd.

Julen Lopetegui has agreed a deal to become West Ham manager at the end of the season. Nothing has been signed yet but the 57-year-old is close to making a return to management following his departure from Wolves in August last year. Current Hammers boss David Moyes has come under increasing pressure after a poor run of results that has seen his side win one of their past nine Premier League games and exit the Europa League in the quarter-finals. West Ham were thrashed 5-0 by Chelsea on Sunday to leave them ninth in the table. Moyes, who is out of contract in the summer, has repeatedly fended off questions about his future at the club, saying talks will not take place until after their final game at Manchester City on 19 May.

Many are afraid financially if they split with their wife, despite being desperately unhappy. I remember 20 years ago when my farang wife and I split up. I was unhappy for years, but hung around for the kids. Then I found Thailand, the rest, they say, is history. I remember having a few beers at the 19th one day with 7 other guys who'd been part of our group. The vast majority were unhappily married. When I told them I'd split with my wife, they were flabbergasted. I said I'd had enough and that I'm going to enjoy the rest of my life. Pretty much all of them envied me, told me I was "brave" and they all wanted to know how it would affect me financially. I gave my wife the house and her car, kept on paying for stuff on top of that for a good few years until she was settled and over it. Sure, it cost me a fortune, but it was so worth it. All these guys wanted to do what I'd done, but didn't have the balls . . .

Cheese omelette with ham and a couple of spuds.

A man that knows how to cook sausages. 😃 Butcher's sausages with veg and beans. A few extras from previous nights take away.

Hmm i dont believe tourists hitting the 6 for first time would be dissapointed ...if there youngish,smar oldish with cash and not idiots,this post could have been written from 10 years ago tbh,i had a great time there last year with plenty of repeat girls " 1000 bht st,but i like a bit o flesh,one was a skinny ish one,just not big fattys ,as far as i remember 90bht /100 bht was most bars for a beer,stl a couple cheaper.

Is there any point reading stickman these days .... all of his information is second or third hand 🤷‍♂️

I don’t really suffer from stress so much, depression was my main problem. Was eventually diagnosed as bipolar or manic depressive as it used to be called. Had a mental breakdown two days after burying my sister and ended up being sectioned under the mental health act for 10 days. But now I feel okay mentally.

I think my main sign of stress is a huge thirst🍻.

Another great way to keep track of weather in Pattaya is the Longdo Traffic app (I've got it on Android, not sure about iOS) You can see traffic cameras all over Pattaya (and elsewhere). It overlays the radar on the map. While it was dry at my place in central Pattaya I could see heavy rain on Sukumvit and at Terminal 21 light rain

That'll be a head v heart decision as I'd love to have at least 1 Ipswich player in my team. I do believe we'll do ok, certainly enough to survive, but I think we'll be better than that. A tip for everyone is our left back, Leif Davis. He's either really close or broken the record for the number of assists in the EFL in a season for a defender. Scored a couple too. Excellent player who we bought from Leeds 2 seasons ago . .

I was on another Concorde, one of 4 flying in formation on 24 December 1985. It was in preparation for the 10 year anniversary of Concorde operations in January 1986. I got onboard via coming second in a fancy dress competition. First prize was a weekend stay in any Holiday Inn. I was an Irish Kamikaze pilot. About 20 on each aircraft, being served mince pies and champagne. Quite a few were sick as Concorde was built to fly supersonic and not try to keep formation sub sonically. Flew down over Lands End (western England) and over Irish sea. Was a great experience. I took a photo as I walked out of work to board on the aircraft apron behind the Technical Block where I worked.
