What are you doing there then? I have many reasons for not living in PP again, but the banking services, Canadia and ABA in particular, were not the issue.upstage wrote:IT ARE NOT SAFE HERE

Re: Would you go to Pattaya?
Did u cross Sukumvit road>if not ,you did not make it to the darkside :-) Im not sure. I'm not sure if PR is pulling your leg. I've lived on the Darkside for about 4 years. There's really nothing here, except the big fastfood and restaurant names have moved over, even TOPS supermarket and Amazon Co...

Re: Vietjet starting Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh Route
I flew with them last weekend, their customer service is fucking atrocious, they seem reluctant to get everyone checked in. It makes for a horrible experience. There will almost always be a delay. On the plus side the air hostesses are hot and they mostly employ foreign pilots. Also it it opens thi...

Re: Down sizing Beer Saigon
Saigon Green has always been about 5000 dong more than Red. So maybe they figure more Green sales if the prices are the same for Red and Green. Saigon City warning: Saigon Red is 50,000 in most western bars that I've been in recently. Social Media would call this "trending". I have my eye on Saigon ...

Re: Would the US State Department cover up a bar fight involving an embassy staffer at Golden Sorya Mall?
GSM would be off-limits to U.S. Embassy personnel? ^^^This. I think that any embassy would issue certain "guidelines" discouraging your visitations to certain establishments. Even if they didn't, a staffer would be well advised not to be found at certain establishments if you want to maintain decor...

Re: Grocery stores in Saigon
Does anyone have a good knowledge of what is available in the grocery stores in Saigon? Hoping to find something like Bayon or Thai Huot there. Mostly I am looking for American, Canadian and French products. There are loads, Giant, Big C, US Mart plus many other niche shops selling western goods an...

Re: Would you go to Pattaya?
This is said from my perch in southeastern Vietnam, where I've been for 2 months, which is making me appreciate and miss Pattaya all the more. So much so I renewed my Thai retirement extension a few weeks ago and will very likely return to the Pattaya area this fall because it's just so easy to liv...

There must be thousands of cards forgotten every year. yeah ! happened to me too in Hua Hin, the day before i was flying to Australia + Newzealand for a holid...

Re: Would you go to Pattaya?
I think LaudJohn has got Pattaya pretty much right, except Sawasdee Hotel. When you see Russians walking in and out, you can bet it's a dive and looks like it. There are better on Soi Lengkee and northern end of Buakhao, nearer Central Road, in the sub-sois. There's really good food, both raw food i...

Re: Lone Star Vs. Sundance? Lone Star Wins
Ha! This reminds me of at least twice last year Sundance had no bacon for breakfast. Anyway, Sundance has definitely been fading in terms of food and becoming a magnet for severe abusers of drugs and alcohol and practitioners of abhorrent behaviour. A shame really.

Re: I came, I saw, now I need a job
With your qualifications, you could get a good paying job in Vietnam. This is based on what I've seen and read on FB expat pages for Da Nang and Hanoi. Plus a freshly minted teacher friend had two job offers in Saigon right after graduating the course for teaching English as a second language. There...

Re: Slow change scam from airport immigration officers
Immigration officers are getting damned surly these days, speaking of ridiculing comments. First of all, many of them give you a disgusted look on arrival. And, no, I'm not a haggard-looking, dirty alcoholic foreigner. Into Siem Reap last year, the c*nt stamped me in 3-4 blank pages into my diminish...
