I think you should read some more of the thread, including my original post. You obviously did not bother. I too until the last month have said nothing bad about PBG. Early last year I would eat there on average 5 days a week for several months, all with no complaint. In the last 4-5 weeks or so I have not had a single meal there where something wasnt wrong - with the worst case being completely raw chicken. While I like and respect Pete, I do NOT agree that this board is not the place for this conversation. This board is exactly the place for it. Not only has it brought to light

Re-read my post. You obviously did not bother. I DID deal with the manager last night, and listed my reasons for posting here instead of going to Pete for the other. If you have something relevant to add, please do so.

Thought about that, but wanted to see if it was just me before bringing it to Pete. If nobody else sees a problem, then no need to bother him or call out something thats not a problem (or may have just been really bad luck on my part)

Damn - you were one of the ones I hoped would tell me its just been bad luck lol. Ya, the wait time was very long last night - but again, I dont really care about that. I enjoy sitting out on the ocean of an evening. For me, I would rather wait for a great meal then get a quick shitty meal

Like I said, I have only noticed it for the last month - before that the food was the best to be found in Pattaya for the most part.

I was going to send Pete an email about this, but thought maybe it might just be me or perhaps its just been bad luck. First off, most people on here know I can never say enough about the good food at PBG - its been the first place I recomend to new visitors for the 3 years I have lived here. That said, for the last year or so I have only gone at night, because I did not like the way my favorite meal was prepared by the morning/afternoon cooks. To be fair, I tend to eat the same thing 90% of the time when I go there - tho I have had just about everything on the menu at some point or ot

No rain at my house yet, but the thunder is rumbling out there somewhere, and its awful dark for this time of day.

Well... I had my mind set on a Jack Russel. Smart, small and faithful :) We couldnt find one tho, so the GF opted for a fluffball. They say its a PomPom, but I have my doubts. Cute little bastard tho... We got it about a month ago now... had its first shots, and so far so good. :) Frosty

Thanks for that.. Will give him a call tomorrow. Thanks!

/Agreed on the fact that you just wont know until you get here. I love songkran. Always have... Less so when I was on Holiday as it did get old going home to get clean clothes on only to be drenched by some drunk falang idiots on walking street just before I get to where I was going :/ Now tho, since I live here, I can just go out and have fun and stay home otherwise, and its a good time. Either way tho, I would say come on... experience it and see if you like it. Worst case scenario you can bus it up to Bangkok to wait it out. Tips: Bring ziplock baggies for your phone and mon

Anyone know if there are any Chiropractors operating in Pattaya? TIA Frosty

How about we remove this to the politics section?

A while back Thailand blocked most of the outbound video stream sites, including the site used by the walking street cam and the FLB Bar. I was able to set up a work around to get FLB back up, but likely the people running the walking street cam do not know how to do that. Until the political mess is solved there is likely no chance of the blocks being lifted... Even after the political mess is handled I doubt they will be, but at least there is a possibility.

My suggestion: Give a pass to EVERY property thats advertised on the internet, including those at fairproperties. If they advertise on the internet, then there is a very good chance that a falang is involved in some way as 95% of Thai owners/managers do not use the internet to advertise their properties. Only property managers do, and they WILL take a cut, which is usually taken out of a higher rent or deposit. The absolute best way to find a place here is to simply get on a motorbike and drive around. It wont take you long - there are hundreds of places for rent on the pattaya outski

If you get one, post a photo of the shop. will try to make it out there tomorrow- would love to find a good source of good cheese here. I usually have friends bring blocks of it over for me... but would rather have a nice variety.

Kewlo - Ill stop to see. But... There are a LOT of soi's connecting Nern plubwan and Siam. Which soi is it exactly? Or is that meant to be the end of nern plubwan where the temple is? Tho I dont remember seeing another 7-11 halfway to Soi Siam there... Better directions are a must :) Frosty

ok, this gave me a laugh. Police: "Sawatdee Krap." Tourist: "I want to file a complaint." Police: "Ok. What happen?" Tourist: "My taxi driver cannot speak english" Police: "eh?" Tourist: "My taxi driver did not know where my hotel was" Police: "eh?" Tourist: "I really think you should do something" Police: "Ok. No problem. 500 baht" Tourist: "What 500 baht for?" Police: "Cost 500 baht to file complaint." Tourist: "Ok, here" Police: "Ok, good. Now we take care, you not worry. Go your hotel and we call you soon" Tourist: "Great!"

Thats the stupidest stupid thing I have seen written on these forums in a long time. How good is your Thai then? Are you dumb as dog shit because you cannot read and write Thai? Or German? Or Russian? Should Germans and Russians then think your as dumb as dog shit because you cant speak in their language? Thai's have the same IQ average as every other race in the world. They are neither smarter nor dumber then any race. Many of them are MUCH better at language then most of the people on this forum, myself included. I speak and understand only a few words of Thai, and find it bloody imp

Probably could have done better without shots of the fat long haired hippy looking guy setting up the audio

Well said as always Mr Super Poster. :) Better idea tho. Why not just ignore the ignorant idiot? Its obvious from his very first post that hes either mentally ill or just really stupid... so just let him be. At least he's well named. This forum does have an ignore list... not sure how many names you can add to it tho. I must be getting close to my limit Its people like him that make things like Tucson happen. Mental fuck-tards, all.

If he lives in Naklua, he is likely at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya... can you not try calling them? if not there, there are only 2 other hospitals in town.. A quick google search will find their numbers. I am mobile or I would add them here.

Ya, I know... but not a whole lot of choices to be had it seems. Going to go out and look sometime in the next week, so need a solid place to start.

Not at all. I just don't go to bars where the ONLY redeeming feature is the price of beer. Cost does not effect me at all. I couldnt care less if the beer is 35 baht or 250 baht. If I like the place, I'll pay it. Simple. When I want to go hang with friends its either Cherry Bar or FLB for me, but places have a much higher entertainment ratio then anyplace on Drinking street no matter what your personal tastes, unless of course your all for that 35 baht beer.

I was there a couple weeks ago... and no change from months ago. I didnt notice more customers then before... but I did notice the same lack of anything remotely resembling something I would barfine if I Was sober... or even drunk for that matter. You summed it up pretty well EP... its a place to visit for cheap beer, but not much else.

Na... Comedy is too much work and doesn't pay enough. Sometimes it is easy tho
