I visited on R&R (US Navy) in 1989. Wanted to come back, but didn't for 20 years.

I'll look for it. I wouldn't hold it against him if his nachos suck, because just like the guy's favorite "Mexican food" listed above (fajitas, hard shell tacos), they are American food anyway.

"Mikes Mexican"?? do tell.

Yeah, I noticed that too. we always sat out on the water, and it was hard getting a refill. Still, it is a quality place and we enjoyed going there.

I think it's too cold for proper Mexicans here. :)

I'll check you out when I'm in town. Frankly, I can't find decent Mexican food in Montana, I am skeptical I can find it in Pattaya, but I'm willing to try.

Delta's award availability blows dead goats. Sure, they advertise a 60k rate, good luck trying to find it. I was looking 8 months in advance, and I found ONE DAY at that rate (which would be 30k, they bill "each way"). One day in nearly a year of dates on their availability calendar. There is a reason Delta miles are called "Sky Pesos". They're essentially worthless. What I ended up doing was burning 67,000 miles on a "pay with miles" feature offered to Delta America Express card holders, and the ticket cost me about 500 dollars (from Montana). On United, 65,000 gets me all the way there, with excellent availability.

Sea Monkey. the red-headed step brother of Firefox. Works great, almost never locks up. My only issue is some websites have code that it can't process for some reason, like the "view it on a map" function of Expedia. I keep IE at the ready for those occasions, but IE is a clunky pile of crap. I'd never use it full time.

You gonna keep us all in suspense as to the name of this place?

Underground miner, electrician specifically.

I was there end of Sept 2010, and I'll return. Great food, room was a great value (900Bht deluxe w/balcony). I agree with everything that has been written in this thread, with the exception of the guy who has a problem with Vic. Vic seemed a nice enough guy, always up for a chat with a guest. My guess is you came off wrong with him and were treated accordingly.
