http://www.fraserspattaya.com/ I was there on a Thursday night and tried the pizza buffet. Once was enough on that idea, as it's equal to Slices and not that good. But only 250 Baht, so it was not a big loss. I also had the calamari, which was delicious. They have a daily beer and drink special from 4-7PM, so the costs are acceptable on that A special drawing for free drinks is held, but I couldn't understand how it worked and the waitress took all my coupons before the drawing was held. You get a coupon for each drink purchased and they draw a winner, but...TIT Many specia

I was by there at 2PM or so and they were not open, so maybe they changed the hours...? Website and sign say 12-2400, but TIT

I'm not sure actually, as I have been by there 2 or 3 times in the evenings and all I see are 2 motorbikes parked in the seating area. Who knows..?

I was walking by Big Horn the other week and it seems to have been out of business I did notice a sign in Thai with a phone number, so who knows what is going on I would think Beefeater was the final nail in the coffin for them, as that place seemed very busy

The French girl had a "potty-mouth" as they say... I hear that so much from the wife, about using bad language. I try to explain, it is much of the "norm" in most parts of the farang world -
Robin's Nest Bar & Restaurant @ 22/42-44, moo 10, Soi Diana Inn, 2nd Road http://robinsnestpattaya.com/ Starting at Noon - ????? Cost : 279 Baht There is a reason it is 279 Baht. This is not your normal carvery, as there is not a display of any meats on the buffet line. It seems to be a selection of warmed up deli meats Meats : Turkey, ham and beef One selection of bread (no butter), mashed potato's and gravy, one soup, Yorkshire pudding and some unsightly looking vegetables (from a can). I did notice a cottage pie and some type of chicken. Other dishes were on the lin

Fondles What Gary and myself are trying to point out, is that many people do have paperwork on the land. But it is not the registered deed of ownership. I assumed you knew of these situations and I will explain it better next time This is very confusing, until you run across the situation and actually see the difference in the paperwork Many think they "own" it and will build homes, farm and make a business out of it. Then the government comes along and takes it back. The intent has and always will be for the farmers who can't afford to buy their own land. But over the years of

Fondles... Key to this deal....they never owned the land (it was government land) They get paperwork done, but it is a different color (either red or blue, I can't remember) Most Thai's can spot this fake paperwork easily ( a wife is an expert at it)

Gary I ran into a deal last year for 2 rai from a German man , as his Thai wife had died... Oh, hell no, sure the price is good, but he never owned the land, how can he sell it...? She is dead...!

http://express-dry-cleaning.com/ Seems to be only for a commercial business, but maybe the they will do it...? -
Very similar to when a Thai "owns" government land and then sells it to another. Then later, the government takes it all back (as they did) and you have nothing left but the paperwork So, you put it in "her" name (wife or GF) and play that risky game...no win situation it seems

Standing on the balcony, having a smoke as I see a motorbike pulling into the complex. I'm on the backside so it is just a place to park your bike for the night and go in. Many bikes there each night and this is a normal happening. As he is coming down the lane, he begins to lose control at a very slow rate of speed and falls off. The bike (110cc) is on top of him and it is a concern. He looks to be older (65+), but has a helmet on, so his head is protected. I rush down the stairs to notify security and see what I can do to help this man. Security is watching TV and I ask him to help m

Finding a good pizza is an issue in Pattaya I'll D2D one soon from here. Also the burger does look very good. I usually go to Carl's Jr in the mall, as most other places are terrible I'll give this one a try soon also -

Mom & Pop stores sell it during all business hours, but of course the price is higher (OMG maybe 20 Baht per liquor bottle) beer prices are about the same as 7-11 or a Supermarket

They made a bunch of changes in Aug 2014, when the Junta took over No Happy Hour....not enforced No "Freebies" (lets say you buy a bottle of JW Red and they give you 5 mixers free) ...not enforced No alcohol sold to anyone under 20...not enforced in BKK Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was....

Looking both ways at all times is just a good defensive practice in Thailand. I was turning left and before I did, I looked to the right and then to the left To see a old lady on a bike, going in the wrong fucking direction.... So, I guess the logic is, to ride your bike in violation of traffic laws and expect others to lookout for your lack of concern

Today, I was in a right turn lane (only) and I was passed by the guy behind me. So, he gets ahead of me, uses his brakes and makes a slow turn (as he talks on his phone) WTF..? Bangkok drivers have no common sense as of late...
