Heated exchanges in Deckchair Meeting

Heated exchanges in Deckchair Meeting at Pattaya City Hall.

"A very heated meeting now from Pattaya City Hall led by Khun Prachar, Governor of Chonburi Province. Khun Niran, the Mayor of Pattaya was also in attendance along with Deckchair Operators from Pattaya and Jomtien Beaches. They were told by the Governor that the current pricing structure for deckchair operators will have to change because too many operators are still charging what they want and are not adhering to regulations set by City Hall. The Governor called the meeting after he personally received complaints regarding the Deckchair Operators. Khun Sanit, a City Councilor was clearly unhappy at the GovernorтАЩs intervention and he told the Governor that the original regulations are adequate.

The Governor would like to see yearly auctions for 49 sq meter plots on both beaches but would like to see half the plots used for members of the public who can sit on the sand for free. This would effectively halve the size of the plots owned by the operators which caused some heated exchanges in the meeting. Further meetings are planned on this subject in the future before any definitive plans are drawn up."

Nobody ever seems to ask what the customers would like?

Well what would you like?

Well I would like a chaise longue with a mattress blue white stripes would be good but yellow white acceptable. A matching parasol and a small bedside table with a lockable cupboard beneath. These would be well spaced apart. Upright cushined chairs by Triconfort available for those who prefer.

Fluffy white towels, iced water, electric fan, ice bucket, paper tissues and wastebin and an intercom to call for service, massage, manicure, haircut/colour Brazillian, botox top up etc. A timer clock to let you know when to turn over for an even tan.Free suntan oil, lube an condoms. mini screens and tents to be available for privacy when required.

Cocktails, wine list and fine light menu or a large hors d'oeuvres buffet would be nice, huge salads with fabulous dressings, fruit salads and sorbets. Drinks should all be served in Bodum double layered glasses to avoid condensation and loss of temperature. Complimentary nibbles and snacks with drinks and wines. Absorbent coasters.

There should be a pristine, lightly scented, toilet facility at every concession with urinals, lock ups, wash basins, showers.Complimentary toiletries and towels. The 'smoking allowed beach' would be in Naklua.

There would be free WiFi and laptops computers with a library of movies and porn. Complimentary newspapers would be flown in in many languages. The limo service to and from you hotel would be by Image with sexy new uniforms.

Electric jet skis would be silent and similar those motorbike in the sky micro planes. Sand would be imported from the Bahamas white talcum powder stuff. The sea would be by Evian and the water changed daily.

I could go on but I think that you will be getting my drift by now and a range of erotic services could be offered. This would only be marginally better then the private beach at L'Hotel Belles-Rives, Juan-Les- Pins where I worked when training in the Hotel industry. http://www.bellesrives.com/

With respect wowpow, it's the same as you never seem to ask yourself whether you think that news such as this is really of any interest to anybody. I mean at the end of the day, who really gives a fuck? There is a lot of talk about your cuttings and pasting of newspaper articles on the forum, but to be fair to you, I often read some cut and pastes of yours that I have missed in the newspapers. However, when it's a slow news day, surely it would be better to leave such types of posts as the one above alone.

Whether or not I am wrong, I guess will be reflected by the posts of others, but after this post of yours above, I am wondering how long it will be, before you start posting how long it takes the paint to dry in bars that are being refurbished.

I am not having a go at you for having a go's sake wowpow, I promise you. I have just seen too many of these type of posts by you and it's an honest opinion on my part. So with that said, no offence meant, so I hope none taken. At the end of the day though, what I do hope, is that you will take is a little friendly constructive criticism on board.

Chok Dee,

wowpow ........

Your list is almost complete, you disappoint me......

Why no muscle-bound young men at your beck and call ?

Jinks as far as I am concerned, the fact that there wasn't any mention of musclebound young men and thank Buddha, no pictures of them either, was the only redeeming factor about the post. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u152/GeorgeThai/whistle.gif

Great list wowpow!

Why don't you forward this to Smiles for his consideration? He told us a long time ago that he was thinking of operating a deck-chair concession in Hua Hin, and even solicited suggestions for additional services at that time.

Since he is now 'in residence' I think this list will serve as a timely reminder - before the idle life of retirement gets the better of him.

Retirement is something I am sure Khun Smiles will enjoy very much, but somehow I don't think idle is a word that is in his vocabulary, or one that he has ever associated himself with. I could be wrong I guess and now he has been given the chance to practice it, who knows? I guess we will have to wait and see what transpires.

Thankfully, as someone that enjoys his regular visits to Hua Hin, and I am sure Smiles will be quite happy to endorse this fact, deck chairs or concessions for them, are not too much in demand there at the moment; thank Buddha. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u152/GeorgeThai/0003.gif

As it happens Boogey, no, I am not, but it's a thought. Let's be honest, I would at least have a chance if I competed with Kevin to see who could post the most on this forum. On the other hand, if I competed with you in the grumpiest and most miserable bastard on the board stakes, I would have as much chance of winning as I would of obtaining excreta from a rocking horses.

On thinking about it, I can't think of anybody that would stand any chance of even coming close against you in winning that particular accolade. You are in a field of your own. http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u152/GeorgeThai/tongue.gif

By the way Boogey, are you ever going to stop scratching that scabby arse of yours? http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u152/GeorgeThai/biglaugh.gif

there wasn't any mention of musclebound young menMay I interpolate with the picture of a young male model from an online advertisement for a university calendar? Not muscle-bound, not Thai, but definitely eye candy

is thats what passes for eye candy in Britain, I am definitely NOT going to be visiting there

Actually it looks like Catawumpus bit him on the hand when he was reaching for the "New Thread" button and gave him "Wumpus Rabies" - you know, the kind that makes one foam at the mouth about other posters.....

Georgie Porgie definately would like to mind-control other posters. If he was a gentleman (not) he would at least disagree gracefully. Poor Georgie. And as long as he hates me scratching my ass, I will continue. Call it my contribution to the board.

at the Dusit Resort and the Royal Cliff (hunky men included).

but sooo dull. It's the danger element I like at Jomtien..dodging Russian hit men..Thai lads kicking sand in your face as they play volley ball...wondering if the loud queen next to you is Hedda (or Uncle Sam)..will your wallet be there when you return from a swim...much more fun you old fuddy duddy.

Actually wowpow, I just wanted to say that I thought this was a delightfully funny and original post, far from the cut-and-paste rituals you are blamed for. A lot of thought went into this and it deserves for at least someone to say so. Reading this, I could vividly picture myself already in Thailand! Better than an instant teleporter to Jomtien, it made me relaxed and calm. You and Cat should write for a living.

I agree totally thaiworthy. I am just catching up on the rest of the posts for the last week and this really captured my mood. I have international cricket and tennis, gay games mardigras and grand prix before I can return and suddenly I feel like just jumping on a plane and worrying about where I can stay when I get there.
Wowpow more of this style please, leave the boring stuff for baht-stop

I've enjoyed all the contributions to this thread so far, though some in their own special ways.
Returning to the meeting about deckchairs and beach concessions, I wonder if there was any discussion about the long, or wrong, arm of the law which chases beach vendors around Dong Tan. These guys seem to be some sort of City Hall bye-law officers. When they feel hungry they confiscate food and eat it. They also confiscate other merchandise - sunglasses, books in Western languages, dirty DVDs etc - to resell? for their personal enjoyment?
I don't find the Dong Tan beach vendors any problem. Unlike some beach vendors in some countries, most Dong Tan beach vendors are not pushy, but friendly or even more. On the other hand, bye-law men can be a nuisance when I want to buy a cake.
Does anyone know the views of whatever authorities send this arm of the law to Dong Tan?

Is there any more news or answers to the question

I am worried that the beach might not be as I expect it to be when I arrive
