guns

Shoot the bastards, ask questions later. They have no business breaking into my house, stealing my money, r...

Thai Banks

I wrote "The transaction would be the same if I personally enter the Thai bank and make a deposit in THB in my account, yet the bank does not take a fee to receive my cash. Why this difference. Because I am farang? Are the banks allowed to do this under Thai law? Is there a Thai Banking law at ...

Clean Pools

Fat Cat Stay

Stayed one month in August. Great cozy little place, reasonably priced rooms, some of which with a balcony overlooking the port and the Gulf of Siam. New owners at that time who still run it. They are famous for their healthy breakfast. In the beginning not much of a lunch or evening menu, but this ...

Ray's Place

Hi there - there used to be a lot of good jazz, supplied by resident or visiting artist and Thai musicians on Mondays and Thursdays. Have they all gone home now - the place seems to be deserted??
