Made two trips into Central Pattaya and back today. No problem using the Baht buss from View Talay 5 in Jomtien, coming or going.

Giving what I am experiencing during high season using the Baht bus as transportation, seems like a made up reason to me. When I goto Brazil, I'll be going for big butts, curvy bodies, and GFE (or so I have heard).

Enjoy Brazil!l going to be a lotta happy boyfriends and husbands (Thai and otherwise) that no longer have to eat or fuck in your sloppy seconds.

The baht buses are okay in the daytime, but traveling from Jomtien to Pattaya at night is no fun.

Second Road is a mess right now, jammed with traffic.

I have had zero problems with the fit or finish of my tailor made clothing here. I get two or three fittings for each item I am having made for me. My fabric salesman allocates enough fabric and makes them big initially then has the tailor alter them to bring the fit just right. My fabric salesman has a fine attention to detail and his Thai Tailor does excellent work.

I will add all of this takes time. I had my work performed over a two month period. It takes time to return to the Fabric shop over and over again until the Tailor gets it right. Quality work requires time. Time is something many visitors cannot afford to allocate since their main pursuit is pussy. Just saying.

For the excessively pedantic: yes I spelled tailor wrong initially.

All of my clothes are made by Omar the tentmaker, what size are you?

Tallish and slim. Jackets 48 (euro).

My Goog search threw up someone called Patrick & Co, and several others a site gave decent ratings to. But who knows. ?

Looking for something for a late summer wedding (not mine! So something light. Apparently the place above does bespoke from around 16 k baht. Substantially less than I'd pay in Italy.

I have had zero problems with the fit or finish of my taylor made clothing here. I fact I introduced my fabric salesman to a shirt design he told me his Thai Taylor was going to keep as a pattern in the future in case someone else wanted the same design. It was the first time anyone had asked for that particular design. I get two or three fittings for each item I am having made for me. My fabric salesman allocates enough fabric and makes them big initially then has the Taylor alter them to bring the fit just right. My fabric salesman has a fine attention to detail and his Thai Taylor does excellent work. I'm sporting linen. Which is an excellent fabric great for the climate (even though you do not catch me walking around in the heat looking for discounts on anything). LOL!

Oh and I have an excellent Dentist also. But he is in Pattaya.

On my last visit I spoke to a few tailors about moisture wicking clothes ie Nike dry fit or the material Reebok and Adidas sell. Nobody knew what I was talking about. I haven't worn linen for years but I'm guessing it wouldn't be as good in the heat as dry fit. I bring my moisture wicking stuff from home every trip. Does anybody know a tailor that works with moisture wicking, dry fit type of material?

I had tailor made suits in 2015 on my first trip to Thailand. Got Armani and Boss cuts. Whatever..... I owned real Armani and Boss suits so know how they should fit (had to for work). My suits were so bad I left my supposed Boss and Armani tailor made suits for my housekeeper. The dress shirts I kept since they were ok. Total waste of 700 USD.

One of my 2 or 3 biggest mistakes I ever made in Thailand.

Learning curve. My first time I had some shirts and pants made. They were not ready until I was about to head to the airport. The shirts were so horrible that I left them at the reception at the Nana Hotel. I wore one pair of the pants on the trip back and they split in the middle on the plane. Then I started dealing with Ricky on Sukhumvit. He always got me great. I no longer go to Bangkok, but if I did and still needed things made, then I would still go there. Hi Five is my place in Pattaya. No matter who you go to, never pay the first price. Say I didn't plan on spending that damn much. These days I would say maybe 1500 baht for pants and 1200 baht for shirts The jacket is what costs, so you can expect to spend 3000 baht for that.

I'll be in BKK at the start and end of my spring trip and I was wondering what people's experiences are of bespoke or made-to-measure suits in BKK.

Since High Season is just starting, you are going to have more problems getting a baht bus from View Talay 5. Bolt is going to charge you 200+ baht, with 30 minute wait times.

Since this is an information board instead of a chest pounding ego needs place that has turned into recently, do any of you long-term guys have a good dentist you can recommend for a cleaning. I forgot to schedule one, and after they finished mangling me in the States, they said I needed a follow-up cleaning. If you got a good dentist let me know, otherwise I guess it's just go over to a hospital and get it done.

Soi 55, just before Tops market.

Have used them for all my dental work for a number of years. Top notch, modern office.

For a simple cleaning I just walked into the nearest Mos Dental Clinic without an appointment a few months ago and they took me right in. The one I went to is on the even soi side of Sukhumvit near Soi 12 as I recall. But I don't think it matters which one. The sign outside said 900 baht for teeth cleaning (with "and up" in smaller print). It came to 1,300 baht for me.

I don't know the name of the dentist if there was even a dentist doing the job instead of an ordinary dental assistant. I didn't ask. I have not needed anything more than a cleaning since I moved here so I have not vetted or seriously researched one.

Seemed like they did a fine job. Still breaking hearts and getting 1,000 baht LT BBFS+CIP and all my undies washed and ironed by top-rated Nana Plaza gogo girls with my smile.

Hehe. I had to throw that last part in to keep the new format going.

Best breakfast is made by Chef SubCmdr!

Weekend of the Fireworks Festival. It was crazy in Central Pattaya. I had gotten a massage close to Central Mall and was hungry. Decided I wanted something different. Hit KFC. 90 percent of the people in the line and at the table were Thai. I got a special for 103 THB. Two good side boxes of nuggets and popcorn chicken. Bought a 1.5 liter bottle of water over in Tops for 20 THB. Yep, Thailand is not cheap any more. ROTFLMAO!.

No Baht Buses (did I get that right or is there a pedantic tourist out there going to correct me?) running along 2nd Street. So, I decide to walk to where I could catch one along Soi Buakhao. It was absolutely deserted. Never seen so few people on Soi Buakhao. Probably could have copped a deal that would have Raj Raj generating another post that would catch him an infraction. At the load point for the Baht Bus never seen it so crazy. They were making a you-Turn on second road after dropping off passengers. So, I just walked across the road, waited for the passengers to unload and hopped on. Jump the entire line. Someone saw me do it and a people started mobbing the Baht Busses as they arrive. It dropped me off a location others choose to argue with me about over. But I got home just fine and without a big charge that others have mentioned that happens when the Baht Busses are crowded. In fact I have never paid more than 20 THB to return to where I reside. No matter how crowded it has been.

The difficulties are often getting a Baht Bus to head into the city. Once time 15 of them passed me (yes I counted). Cause my mind is focused on the mundane. No need to have pussy on your mind in Pattaya unless you are a "tourist" like I am. Right?
