  1. How does this restaurant compare to The Continental?
  2. What was the flight number?
  3. Ask the bar owner that has Russians ordering just one beer, but taking up five seats and a pool table for two hours.
  4. Cathay loves flying over the north pole and Russia.
  5. No window shopping??
  6. Rg, I gave you a +1 because I appreciate the work you put into taking the photos and posting them. If allowed I would have given + 3. I am disappointed that this forum ( no fault of the owner MM and I mean that) has become a food channel rather than a porn channel. Guys that previously posted women in exotic poses now post exotic food dishes.
  7. I heard that they are leaving Phuket also.
  8. whats the name of that chain that sells western food? I've found them in bangkok but not Pattaya
  9. What happened to the photos?
  10. I had my doubts that a Brit trying to do Britishised Chinese food in Thailand would work out well. The Asians wouldn't like it because it wasn't Authentic Chinese food. The American's wouldn't like it because it wasn't a huge buffet of American food labeled to be Chinese the way its done in the USA. And the Brits left England to get away from British food. Glad to see that the owner was able to regroup with a new plan.
  11. There is a bakery nearby. No reason for stale bread.
  12. Copied from this link: http://notthenation.com/2014/01/non-naked-non-german-non-sex-tourist-plunges-from-hotel-window/ Thai Police Baffled At Unprecedented “Karl Slym” Case BANGKOK – The Royal Thai Police are asking the public to help with any leads in the mysterious death of Karl Slym, 51, who died after jumping out of a hotel window Monday despite not being naked, German, or in the presence of one or more Thai prostitutes. Karl Slym fell from a 22nd story window despite not being German “We’ve simply never seen a case like this before,” said Police Lieutenant Somyot Boonyakeow, an investigator on the case. “Mr Slym was fully clothed, and an autopsy reveals that he was not under the influence of alcohol, drugs, Viagra, or Cialis.” “It doesn’t fit any profile of any hotel-falling death in Thailand we’ve ever seen,” he continued. An executive of the Thai branch of the Tata Motors corporation, Slym’s death is being tentatively ruled a suicide after it was discovered that he had attended a company meeting shortly before his death, and that the company was posting a financial loss for the previous quarter. Thai police, however, are insisting that Slym’s death might be the result of foul play, and possibly a larger criminal conspiracy. “We searched the hotel room for two hours trying to find the prostitutes, but they had already left,” said Somyot. “The hotel staff insisted they hadn’t seen Mr Slym in the company of any prostitutes, so to us that suggests a massive cover-up by influential persons.” Additionally, police regard the crime site as unusual, as the Shangri-La is a legitimate 5-star international tourist hotel, rather than a two-star guesthouse with giant towels for blankets and views of brick walls, the typical site for a “jumper.” Further complicating the investigation was the presence of Slym’s wife in the hotel room at the time of the death. “We don’t really have a procedure for dealing with foreign wives present at the scene of the incident,” explained Somyot. “It’s never happened before.” “She’s actually the first foreign wife I’ve ever met,” he said. “Nice lady.” The suspiciously classy hotel where Slym plunged to his death A full forensics autopsy, complicated by the fact that the victim was “fully clothed, which we’ve also never dealt with,” according to Somyot, confirmed that Slym was sober and healthy for his age. Records obtained from Slym’s home country of Britain showed no signs of depression or alcoholism, or any history of criminal behavior. Police have questioned Slym’s colleagues and friends, who have characterized him as a successful, hardworking, thoughtful person who was not into deviant sexual practices or in debt to the Russian mafia in Pattaya. “In thirty years as a policeman I’ve never encountered such a twisted situation,” said Somyot. “Mr Slym is simply like no man I’ve ever investigated in Thailand.”
  13. privacy act. very soon you won't know who you are having sex with.
  14. I actually prefer my salad after the main course.
  15. Cat Recipe 1 cat cut in serving-sized pieces dusted in flour with salt and pepper 1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil 6 artichokes 2 1/4" thick slices of slab bacon, diced 1 small sweet onion, diced 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 carrot, diced 1 lemon 3 small tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced 1/2 c. dry white wine 2-4 c. homemade chicken broth garni of 4 flat parsley stems, 6 leafy thyme branches, 1 bay leaf tied up with kitchen twine Salt and pepper 1/4 c chopped flat-leaf parsley (optional) Snap the leaves off the artichokes until only the tender inner leaves remain. Snap off the stem. Trim the remaining green bits from the bottom of the artichoke, and cut off the inner leaves in a bunch at the point where they are very tender. Pare the tough green outer layer off the remaining stem, pairing the stem into a point. Now cut the artichoke bottom into quarters and remove the choke with a sharp knife from each quarter. Rinse to remove any traces of foin ("hay") and drop them into a bowl of water acidulated with the juice of half a lemon. Heat 2 T olive oil in a large heavy casserole or Dutch oven. Dredge the cat pieces in seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Brown over medium heat, turning regularly, until golden on all sides. Remove cat pieces to a plate and dump any oil remaining in the pan. Add 1 T of the remaining oil and the bacon dice. (Omit bacon if you only have access to the thin-sliced vacuum packed supermarket variety.) Sauté until cooked but not "crisp". Add the remaining T of oil and the onion and carrot. Saute for 5 minutes, then add the artichoke quarters and the garlic, stir one minute, and add the tomatoes and the white wine. Turn up the heat and reduce until syrupy, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. Lay the bouquet garni on top of the vegetables. Arrange the cat pieces on top, together with any juice accumulated in the plate. Pour in enough broth to come halfway up the sides of the cat pieces. Cover and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer over very low heat about 1 hour or cook in the oven at 350 degrees for the same amount of time. The cat should be just tender and part readily from the bone. Don't overcook or it will become dry. Check the liquid level frequently and add more broth if necessary. Turn the cat pieces once. When done, remove the cat pieces to a warm platter and arrange the vegetables, removed with a slotted spoon, around them. Cover and keep warm. Strain the remaining pan juices into a smaller saucepan and reduce over high heat, skimming frequently, until reduced by 1/3. Pour over the platter and serve immediately. Sprinkle with finely chopped flat-leaf parsley if you like.

  24. I don't think the problem is whats on the walls, but rather the walls themselves. They need to get rid of the cheap 1970's paneling.
