Yeah thats what happened to me a lot before when I tried the trick of ordering my drink right away. MM's phrase works, had one of the girls I got help me with pronunciation. With my most recent girl I just let her order everything for us. She usually does a good job and there hasn't been much food that I have not liked.

What are you and english teacher.

Man you guys are really passionate about this topic. Much more than me. I assume you guys don't hang out in Pattaya since it is nothing like the rest of the country and caters to foreigners. Cool with me either way. Anyways I am using MM's line.

Thanks boss hopefully it doesn't mean please go in the back and piss in my beer.

Yeah I have done that a couple times. The drinks have come very quickly though.

Or I could just learn how to politely say come back in ten minutes in thai which is why I posted this in the first place. But happy I could piss you off. Here are a couple more things I do not like: Trash on the beach/streets, drivers being completely inconsideriate of pedestrians or any vehicle smaller than them, suit makers wanting to shake my hand, and sewage draining into what could be a beautiful beach. Hope that list doesn't make you lose to much sleep.

Someone should really tell Thai servers that westerners do not like it when the server immediately hovers over them as soon as they sit down. I cannot remember a restaurant where they don't stand right by you looking at you until you are ready to order. I find it very uncomfortable and I would assume most other westerners would as well. Can anyone phonetically spell out the sentence Please come back to take my order in 10 minutes in thai?

Sounds good I will be there on Friday. Hope to see a lot of girls. Think I will head over now for a Thai omelette.

Nice place. Had the Mutton vindaloo and a vegetable paneer dish along with some Naan and a bottle of water. Food was good, service was excellent, restraunt was clean and comfortable with the fans turned on. Set me back about 280 baht. Pretty good deal considering price of a lot of indian food in Pattaya.

Anyone interested let me know.

Hey M62 glad to see an update from you. Even though I recommended the annuity I will be honest and say that your insurance agent has a big incentive to tell you that it is great. I do think it is a good way to go but it is important to shop around. Also do some legwork first and research them yourselves so you understand them and their expenses as best as possible. There are a lot of uncompetitive annuity products out there and annuity fee structures are not very transparent. Having said that, even an annuity with high fees is likely to give you a higher income than a relatively safe sustainable withdrawl rate (3 or 4%) from an investment account. Make sure you tell your annuity company that you drive a moto bike in Pattaya and have unprotected sex with 2-3 bar girls a day in addition to smoking. Oh yeah and don't forget the excessive drinking! Annuities are the only time you get rewarded for bad behavior . By the way I would not recommend an insurance broker as a financial planner if in fact his primary business is insurance. If you want more advice look for someome with a CFP designation. Of course as many of them charge for assets under management they will have an incentive to not recommend annuities. Man this business is dicey. Best of luck to you M62. Wish you a long and happy retirement.

Congrats man I really like chilling out at your bar. I won't make it in time for the celebration but am hoping you have several more anniversaries and that your idea of a haven for freelancers pans out.

I hate change give me back the old forum . Guess I am in the minority though. Edit: NM just found this out: When you click on a thread, It opens and on the right there is a rating with stars and an options button. Clicked it, clicked standard and problem fixed. I am good now

Can you please add Muttar Paneer to the menu for the weeks of May 13 through June 10.
