boydeste Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 There must have been 200 people waiting for a taxi, I decided to see how much the touts wanted to grab one from departure drop off zone. 500b all in and away I went. 100 to tout, 400 to taxi. Bargain. Would of sat there waiting for 2 hours plus methinks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even remember if they had a queue system or not back then. I went to one of those taxi stands, took what was almost like a stretch limo... lol. I didn't know WTF I was doing, didn't care I was so happy. Still didn't cost much, relatively. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Not sure whether these girls are tracking me, but just checked into my hotel and got a ping from one of my regulars who has returned from the village. "Can I come welcome you back to Bkk?" Oh all right then! Duly serviced and just found out a mate is back in Bkk for a night before Pattaya, Hooters for chicken and out for a catch up of his adventures it is then! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I’d spent more time traveling around Thailand instead of getting smashed in Pattaya. Saw a few places but should of seen so much more. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Laundry day today so just popped to Big C rather than head out for a walk. Points to note! (As the drill instructor used to say) :- - Big C has wheeled out the Covid warnings and the hand sanitiser...but no instructions to wear a mask (yet) - I bought a bottle of Mc Williams Shiraz/Cabernet 14% for 399 Baht (there are a few varietals choose from so check! ) and quite honestly it is just as good as 19 Crimes at 599 Baht 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Slept like a baby last night until midday. Grabbed some grub and went for a 2 mile walk. Now in a pool comp. Got a bye the first round. Never had a bye before, so maybe an omen! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I stayed local again today.. for no other reason than to buy more Mc Williams Shiraz/Cabernet 14% ...but whilst en route I noticed that the "Language School" just opposite Big C Pattaya Tai was jammed packed full. It has been empty/closed for yonks !!! Why did I put Language School in inverted commas? .. I went in there years ago to enquire about Thai language lessons but within a minute they made it clear that I'd be better off getting a Retirement Visa ......
