That is where I used to buy my "box wine"..... Mont Clair was 920 baht whilst everywhere else was 993. Not a big saving unless you drink a box every 2 days ..... And they sell La Vida .. This sounds good..... But for central Pattaya.....I would say Friendship has the cheapest wine prices...They try hard to keep prices down even in the face of Thailands awful wine policies and taxes.... The BEST alcohol store on Pattaya Klang was neck and neck with Friendship for the cheapest prices for years but the race is over and Friendship is the winner... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might say so.... we had a tidal surge 3 nights ago combined with spring tides... instead of the predicted 5.5m high tide, it hit about 6.3.... unfortunately our sea defences are only 6.2m... so many flooded fields and properties. My neighbouring sailing club's carpark/boat park is currently 8' under, with the sea defences now doing a damn good job of keeping the water in. There is an ancient but well serviced sluice gate that the original farmers used to drain the marshes that are now car park... except the handle is 5' under and no one can find it... Fortunately apart from a few low flying pebbles, I got off unscathed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree.. Back in the olden days I used Best on Dolphin roundabout because it was so easy to drive in, park park round the back, drive around again then head on up to Surin.. Good prices and you could buy before 11am.... The one on Pattaya Tai opens early too if you are ever desperate ... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! 😻😻 Been fun, nothing like the craziness of Pattaya. But then no pissed up farangs. The 'main' celebration/ water fight is mostly round the Royal Palace area at the moment, think it'll kick off here about 5pm. I seen them put up barricades and filling huge water tanks. We're all the hotel pool now, she's torturing and playing with other kids and their parents here. All good natured fun. Don't think we'll throw her into the main crowd later, she's only 7, and said she wanted to come to the pool. We can eat is the air-conditioning opulence of King Power later, marked safe from flour and water 🤣 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
