Agree Robin Hood, when taking a break from cooking ill order 3-4 days of food from there. They know i'm pissed with Grab so will send staff with the food in 20 minutes i tip the guy 100 baht .Unfortunately for me i don't care for Thai Food or most restaurants so miss out js' point that restaurant meals are a bargain compared to the 40 usd i pay in Annapolis. Villa and Paleo Robbies are expensive Farang. I fear my impending move to Khon Kaen, no food there but a stellar excuse to take the 45 minute flight to the Queen on Soi 6.

js the world is indeed small. We both live in Wongamat . In the states you are in Scottsdale ,myself in Prescott AZ. Always looking for a taco with salsa and sour cream. Rhino knows Mexican and has pointed out venues in Bangkok pretty damn good ,not that Sunrise is bad.

Lucas was a maligned company that sharpened the senses of my otherwise hemp addled generation . We could judge speed by observing the roadway pass along us. Accurately gauge RPM shift points using our ears. Calculate time/distance into fuel burn with the precision of a Pilot. Appreciate the sound of Doves and the flushing of Quail while hitching along a country road having failed to make that calculation. As a young man Ozzy Osbourne worked for Lucas . The Prince of Darkness.

js, delivery started to get bad even before the tourists' arrived. Had a comically bad time with an order from Robins Hood which has good food. I called the manager and he sent his own staff over within 20 minutes ,tipped the fellow 100 baht. Called another order a couple weeks later and said i'll tip the driver 100 baht if we could skip Grab. The guy was very happy. I had the same arrangement with Chow Soy before they moved to the darkside. New York Pizza is also good as they have their own delivery guys. They message when leaving so you know when they will arrive. Mcdonalds seems to be at

Good to know about the Vella. I'm taking a break from delivery, I'll try the Chicken place since its at the end of our driveway.

It's been going on prior to the holiday. 2 hour wait for chinese a month ago. Why so few Chinese restaurants? 2 weeks ago i had a 3k order with Robins Hood cancelled by Grab. RH called and sent one of the staff over with the order. Getting a bolt from 13/3 last week prices doubled from the usual 80 baht to go anywhere .That day nothing was available except a van.

Rx Med And Vitamin Sources And Prices
sailingbill replied to forcebwithu's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
i bought some sheets at Central, gave them my primary email , terrible mistake. Received a minimum of 4 emails/hour, every hour selling lamps or such. Took 3 months of hitting unsubscribe before they stopped. I now have a secondary email i use initially for companies i don't trust or think may be annoying. it is ginhoi@ , really have to consider whether the company is legit or if i know the organization before i use that one. -
Rx Med And Vitamin Sources And Prices
sailingbill replied to forcebwithu's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
I’m sure I’m not correct, maybe misunderstood. My bill was for 7500 baht and after she recalculated with the the card it was 3800. Can’t be right. I’m there tomorrow for a 3 month stock since my girlfriend wants a calendar. -
Rx Med And Vitamin Sources And Prices
sailingbill replied to forcebwithu's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
Force did you get their discount card? I am not a fan of these things and been using Fascino for years refusing to get one. The pharmacist suggested it was a good idea for me and just needed my Drivers license. Very significant discount. -

My friend did well with his Christmas present on Soi 6 but paid 1500 for the girl and a 500 baht room fee seemed high to me. But maybe i'm out of touch? Others here might know.Agree with Pine tree, these girls have packed on the kilos over the years and i like thin. -

Friend from Bangkok down over Christmas. We were crossing 2cd road and he said the crosswalk is over there. I laughed. When i first started riding a motorbike and aware of the reputation i decided just to plod along in the left "slow" lane. This is a very bad idea. The baht buses even though they seem mindful moving back will cause other traffic to stop short. I was going down beach road last week and a guy walk out hidden between cars looking at his phone. It was ok but i had to grab 2 handfuls of brakes. The worst are the drivers flinging open the door. Between the tourist coming back and th -
Great post. Good to know about the Symphony though not playing at present. Growing up in Annapolis my parents would take me to free concerts in the evening at the Naval Academy band. It was good fun for a kid as they were held in the Field House so I came home pretty covered in sawdust. Nice memories.

Thanks Blue Flag, hope to see more of your Photos about town. Soi 6 being my favorite for 15 years i was surprised I have only been with one of the pictured girls. The sour looking one from Baby Cool who is most definitely not sour in person. I’ll pay a visit today as you have captured some prospects . -
Never thought i needed one but on return from Issan yesterday noticed a fine layer of dust on some surfaces in the condo. Homepro? I have gotten good but also dodgy products from Lazada so would prefer a local source. Issan was fucking terrible. To early for burning season but with everything dried the visible dust had all the family coughing.

Living in Naklua 5 years, frequently take my bike from Dolphin on south. Not once have i seen the smallest delay before you hit Central. Came out of Soi Post Office yesterday intending to get a BB. I was walking faster than the traffic. Got past the Avenue,gave up a got a MB taxi to weave us to the 6. As you say, in time for high season. -
First Visit to Pattaya in 19 months
sailingbill replied to RhinoTusk's topic in Pictorial Travel Reports
We love your journal. Please keep your talents posting. I hade the same disappointing experience at TQ. Though one girl let me change her tampon at the irritation of those waiting to use the toilet. Interesting as I never did that before. But not enough to return. -

baht didn't care. Lt or st up to her, found another girl. She stayed 2 nights 1k a night. you win and you lose, i dont care .Kinks is great. Appreciate the pictures Force. Traffic has been terrible on second road. Sorry to drift and hope im not sounding like Gabor but last week in Stickman someone posted 3k st 5k as it was definite. This is not true. Called a girlfriend from America last night. Told her i want to sail across the Atlantic. I said your old, your a doctor and have money so you can go. She said maybe. Sorry Jacko, Pwd. I get my coat. -

Total bust last night. I guess a serious Buddha day. Not even a Soi 6 girl. A waitress said she would join me at Areca after she got off work. Never showed. Amazing as i really wanted her. Even held up 5 fingers in stupidity and desperation. Hope springs a new tonight. -

Sometimes i talk shit to the GF because i'm going to do what i want. However will be taking a taxi to Areca today as i noted your rain forecast. Same when i showed her Jeremy Clarkson's brilliant series on owning a farm. I'm kindred spirit but the GF teases im Green Acres Oliver!! . Public service announcement, Its another no alcohol day. Hopefully my lovely on Soi 6 and i can take a bottle upstairs. -

i'm going in the morning to stay 2 nights .The GF said you cannot take your bike in the morning. Take taxi. I told her it would be fine LK is elevated. I just showed her your cam screenshot. Learned she can speak "i told you so" in Thai,English and Lao. Still raining in Naklua, i check the cam before leaving in the morning -
Always good but this was a delight. Insightful as usual

Good to see you last week. Thanks for the update. I'll take a stroll down the Soi but disappointed realizing the reference to Climax being open was a prior post. Only game in town i guess remains Thermae. I am always in search of a good burger. Ground my own beef back home.

Some People Paying Mad rents for Small Condos
sailingbill replied to Pine Tree's topic in Hotel and Accommodation Questions
I have perhaps underplayed the location disadvantage. While i no longer howl at the midnight moon it would be great to walk from the Base Condo to Soi Diana/LKM. Initially i thought no big deal to get dropped off on Naklua Road and walk home but after 9p the Soi Dogs become territorial. Same with dragging shopping bags back. Bolt has been great and hopefully the rates continue low but with tourist returning maybe not. A motorbike while not necessary is a big convenience. I need to find a way to attach a Par 3 carry bag on it.
