Also very good but without a gym & I think without a pool(?). They're both good and I have stayed at them many times - no gyms that I am aware of but definitely swimming pools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maipenrai Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Got a Grab taxi from Central Pattaya this afternoon to Jomtien to drop some stuff off - took three tries with Grab, I think because 2nd Rd has been absolutely rammed with traffic all afternoon - guy finally picked me up in a brand new MG Extender pickup, of all things...never even heard of this model before. I hopped on a baht bus for the trip back, and with two of us left on the bus I think the driver finally just said piss on it and turned off at Soi 13/1, leaving us to walk to our final destinations but I didn't mind too much. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity as it’s only a few minutes away from home. Maybe in August god willing and the river don’t rise. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think the traffic congestion was caused by weekend visitors from BKK leaving town - that's what the cab driver told me and I believe him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. Yep, weekends can get jammed up during certain time periods. I used to try to avoid, like the plauge. Covid was brilliant for ease of moving around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Just getting some steps in around Costco…..Honestly very disappointed in their meat selection/prices , saw a 3-pack of the most beautiful ribeyes, almost 2 kg total, but $75 CAD. Now in the vitamin aisle, however, found out COVERING your meat 🥩 is a true bargain ….. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said we can go there after dinner....no way will I be drinking beer after one of her roast dinners. Shame. Where is the best place to find a reasonably priced roast over here mate ? A simple chuck or rump roast. What size is recommended ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
