  1. ...and the nearest shopping mall to Jomtien is?
  2. So are the Trat taxis โ˜น๏ธ
  3. I've received random blackmail emails of this kind on several occasions. I'd have been more worried by them if I actually possessed a webcam...
  4. No. Some of us just skip those posts. You only write it once, but you hope many people will (try to) read it, or why bother? So make it easy for them.
  5. That strikes me as asking for trouble. You're buying her as a commodity, in order to show him that he's something more than a commodity? Think about the social dynamics in terms of Thai culture. Who gains or loses face, remembering that face is not a zero-sum game? And it's a three-way (at least) transaction, so even more complicated.
  6. "Daddy" can also refer to someone in a particular kind of relationship, which might be inappropriate.
  7. I have no personal experience of Club Med, but "all-inclusive activities" and "childcare" are prominent items on their website: "Club Med specializes in premium all-inclusive vacations packages for families "
  8. igPay atinLay is where you move the first letter to the end of the (English; translation not required) word and add "ay", or similar. (Polite request to all: please don't ! ๐Ÿคซ. I think we've quite enough thread drift, from Phuket massage to members' vowel habits.)
  9. perhaps I should add that the above is from Wikipedia, not personal experience ๐Ÿ˜€
  10. Yes, don't mix alcohol with metronidazole (aka Flagyl). Not because it makes the antibiotic ineffective but... ... the "disulfiram-like reaction" consists of nausea, vomiting, flushing, dizziness, throbbing headache, chest and abdominal discomfort, and general hangover-like symptoms among others. (Disulfiram is better known as Antabuse.)
  11. Look out for smallpox. That one's a killer. Oh, wait... nobody seems to get that one any more. I wonder why not?
  12. In about 25 years of trips to Thailand I've only been questioned once, for a slightly different reason: I checked in (with Emirates at LGW) with a return ticket, but the return was dated more than 30 days after the outward flight and they noticed that I had no visa. I explained that I had tickets from BKK to Delhi and back from a different airline, so I would actually have two stays of less than 30 days in LoS. They took my word for it.
  13. which reminds me, one thing in its favour that Scandic used to offer was the full-body foam "massage", but I suspect they stopped doing that some time ago.
  14. Yes, I'd recommend Gun, but I have no recent experience of any of the other Scandic staff so can't comment on them. He was formerly at Narcissus, then moved to Ambiance when Narcissus closed. Good to know he still enjoys his work.
  15. In principle, there's the MRT, but TiT so it's a 650+ metre walk (according to Google) from Bang Sue MRT to what may or not be an entrance to Krung Thep Aphiwat.
  16. Look closely at the lower right corner of the video (don't let the activity above distract you ๐Ÿ˜Š) - you can just make out (I think) "OnlyFans.to". It's clearest around 35-40 seconds in.
  17. Sorry, couldn't resist. It gave a whole new meaning to the title of a TV series from a few years ago called "City in the Sky" . Missed approaches start near the runway but the procedure may take you to a hold the best part of 10 miles from the airport before you can be slotted in for another go: "Climb to 3000 straight ahead until passing 1580 or I-AA DME zero inbound whichever is later, then left onto track 036. Keep the Premier Inn on your left. On passing LON DME 10 proceed to NDB CHT at 3000. Pass between Bentley Priory and Shree Swaminarayan Temple not above 3500." Or something like that. ๐Ÿ˜Š
  18. Never mind the noise, that sounds remarkably dangerous. How does the missed-approach procedure work? ๐Ÿ˜Š
  19. Yes, of course ๐Ÿ˜Š. You can see it on the right in the Street View picture.
  20. Literal translation of Nong Ngu Hao "cobra swamp", which is what the airport site was called before its current name ("Golden Land") was bestowed.
  21. For the avoidance of inadvertent offence - actually it's Sikh (Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha), not Hindu. There's another shortcut across the Wat Chai Mongkon car park (Google Street View) (handy hong nam if you're desperate!) to a gate on 2nd Road (Street View).
