Lying in bed , thinking about Pattaya and wondering whether @Jambo has returned to Thailand…… but more hoping he’s having a fabulous retirement 

It is sad when experienced operators call it a day and the newbie business owners decide they know best……. Eventually they can’t make the businesses succeed and resort to dodgy practices to continue returning to the real world 

Come on a Thai forum looking for a trip report about Kenya…….555

@Mr. SmoothHow is it for safety?

Can you walk around freely at nighttime?
 

Do you really have to keep your passport with you all the time ?

Same same, but Babydolls. Worse places to be stuck in, I suppose! My acquaintance and I tried several times to leave, always heading back in for another. The joke was it was always a very short time....

River flowing down soi 15. And yes, Walkng Street was also a canal, calf depth in most places. 

Back in My Hong Kong days we used to spend a whole Typhoon in The Big Apple in Wanchai……555

And after Brighton surely he’d have had a serious chance at the England job…… and victory! So that dream has probably ended now…… so another generation of England footballers underachieving 

@Mr. Smooth can you recommend any reasonable hotels in Mtwapa.

been looking recently as the flights are better than Thailand, but then I saw you have to get a $50 visa!

Potter could have become a Legend but he’s sold out for personal gain. Obviously Brighton are never going to compete long term with the dodgy money launderers but Leicester prove it can be done, Brighton have the advantage of a slightly smarter owner, so he could have built a team to compete in Europe 

forget the Potter stand at the Amex

Utter madness

Fuel is coming down slightly, but the costs of food is getting bloody ridiculous. Even cheap stuff like veggies and chicken are going up by 25% in some cases.

Interest rate decision tomorrow, looking like its going to be a half point.

tough times ahead indeed.

 

Yeah but this happens with all price increases, they never go back to where they started, but we accept the “new” price because it’s not quite as bad

Boris resigned then decided to go on holiday for the rest of his term.

 

When he said he’d stay on for the handover….. the media and opposition screamed that he couldn’t take any big decisions…… now they’re complaining because he’s listened to them !

Whether we like it or not Indians and Chinese are going to be more important to the Thai tourism industry than westerners…… I personally can’t think of another business that could make a success of the old Secrets premises than an Indian aimed recreation 

For an astute Indian investor it could be quite a profitable investment…… copy the “Ben” model exactly but in Indian….. aim for the middle class, reasonable priced rooms, great host, decent music, girls aimed specifically for Indian customers…….a safe one stop destination

She's a great girl I sure hope she is getting paid. I remember I was very sick one day and I didn't even mention it to her I guess one of the staff must have mentioned it. She came back with a whole bunch of stuff from the pharmacy and didn't want to take any money even well I don't know what she gave me they were pills but whatever it was the next day I felt a lot better. An absolute gem she is

Not her but you’ve just reminded me of something that happened upstairs…… halfway through the deed I strained my groin….. absolute agony, reducing me to tears…… your girl then said she’d go and get me some ointment…. I offered to pay her thinking she was doing a runner! But she wouldn’t take any payment. About three hours later she returned, she’d gone all the way to Jomtien….. she then proceeded to massage the ointment in and wasn’t convinced I was better until she had made me come !!

How right you are and it is even worse on YouTube where you invite videos from "Experts" often containing contradictory advice.

 

 

When my wife was very Ill she was seeing loads of consultants at weekly intervals…… we left each one thinking he knew what he was talking about only for the next one to contradict the previous consultant………. 

Unfortunately the BBC destroys itself with its political bias, when in reality that is only 5% of its output.

It’s coverage of major events are world beating 

it’s dramas are amongst the best .

Clark sons Top Gear was league’s above his Amazon offering even with a tiny budget

Emirates aren't happy, and aren't complying with LHRs demands....

Emirates subsidies it’s prices by the oil profits we are FORCED to pay because of their illegal cartel

Emirates uses “slave” labour in the Middle East…….

not surprising real airline businesses struggle to compete
