  1. It's not quite the same thing. With bitcoin, you have to buy bitcoins in advance in order to use them. Since Le Pub takes BizPaye, let's do an example. Let's say I go to Le Pub and spend 600 baht in BizPaye currency. What Phil has had to do was pay, likely with Thai baht, for the beers that he sold me. His cost is under 600 baht, let's just say it was 300 baht for this example. At this point, Phil has a 600 BizPaye baht credit in his account (though he only actually spent 300 baht to get it), and he can use it anywhere that accepts BizPaye. And I have a 600 baht debit, which mea
  2. Any business owners use this? For those who are not familiar, it's a business to business bartering service. If I spend 2000 baht of bizpaye cybermoney, then I have 2000 baht in my account from which other members can spend in my place and it doesn't have to be from the person whose business I used.
  3. We have margaritas. Choice of neat, on the rocks, or frozen.
  4. Yes, same soi as Tiggs. Coming from third road, it's about 100 m passed Tiggs, but on the left side.
  5. Brewed, not canned. Already on Google Maps. Facebook page is accurate as well.
  6. I have to be honest, "A well stocked bar" is a bit of an exaggeration. At the moment I STILL don't have margaritas on the menu. I am just using the bar to hold the makings until I find time to come up with the right recipes and pricing. I'm hoping I'll have time over the next couple of days to do just that and stock the bar (for margaritas). In case anyone wants to know why I STILL don't have them on the menu, it's a matter of staffing. It's terribly difficult to find good reliable staff prior to Songkran. I want to be sure I have the staff available take care of customers while I take th
  7. I think the nearest supermarket to the old Tops is the market in the basement of Central Festival. But Foodland might be a tiny hair closer.
  8. I'm running a special this week from Tuesday to Thursday. https://www.facebook.com/DavesCantinaPattaya/posts/1624678880881630 One cup Mexican Chicken Tortilla Soup One Enchilada with Mexican Rice and Refried Pinto Beans One Apple Pie Chimichanga Plus choice of soft drink. Pork or Chicken: 325, Beef 340.
  9. I went to WP last night and ordered the ham and cheese roll along with their bacon burger. Honestly, it wasn't the best thing on the menu, try the calamari and krapao pizza if you want something really nice. But I did have an odd experience last night. I went to open the ketchup bottle and it exploded when I turned the cap. Trying to figure out what happened, I checked online and found this isn't entirely uncommon. Somehow yeast gets in the bottle and starts to ferment the ketchup building up pressure. So if you see a bottle full to the top of ketchup, I'd recommend not opening it as it's not
  10. I really enjoy eating at White Pines on Walking Street Soi 14. The cook is quite talented and the prices are very very reasonable. The place really reminds me of The Rock Kitchen in a way. It is easy to get in there and get fed for under 300 baht and walk away feeling full and satisfied after having a quality tasty meal.
  11. From Theprasit, go in almost to Tigglebitties. As you go along the road, you will pass Punch and Judy's on the left, then the road does an S turn and you will see the market on the right and the Tesco Express on the left. I'm about 40 m passed the Tesco Lotus Express, but on the right hand side.
  12. My place currently does not have Thai food as I'm trying to get the staff to focus on getting the Mexican food right. And surprisingly, very few customers are bringing in Thais. I do have a few Thai repeat customer that have come in for the Mexican food. My place is a work in progress and eventually it will have to have Thai food, but it's just not a priority as yet. Dave's Cantina is an air conditioned restaurant with indoor plumbing. No need to go outside or climb the stairs to use the facilities. I didn't even know San Miguel had a dark version. I have Chang, Singha, Heineken, Sam M
  13. I just opened a new Mexican Restaurant on Soi Kromteedin (Soi Land Office, Theprasit Soi 8, ...) https://www.facebook.com/DavesCantinaPattaya/ I'm still in my soft opening period and have 10% off everything on the draft menu. The current prices before the discount for the pictures items are: Quesadilla: Chicken or Pork 150 baht, Beef 170 Chips and Pico De Gallo: 120 baht Beef and bean chili: 120 baht cup, 300 baht for a bowl Enchiladas Meal: Chicken or Pork 270 baht, Beef 300 Apple Pie Chimichanga with Vanilla Ice Cream: 120 baht. Not pictured are Burritos, Mexican soft t
  14. I went to SLDD. The first thing I noticed was that the pictures in the menu do not match the actual food you get. They had a picture of nachos and jalapeno cheese that made me order because I don't recall a place (except maybe Hooters) that has that. But what came looked nothing like the picture. It was simply homemade pickled jalapenos (which tasted good) with standard melted cheese on the nachos. Mind you, this tasted good, but had I seen the actual picture, I would not have ordered it because I can get that in my place. The same was true with the chilicheese dog. Tasted fine, nothing like
  15. It was 250 baht including the shirt. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  16. I ended up going to a shop on Pattaya Klang about halfway between Big C and Foodland, but on the opposite side of the road. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  17. Does anyone know where I can get a picture printed on a single shirt quickly and not too expensive in Pattaya?
  18. Thanks for the very well written review EP! I had a similar experience to you about two years ago during my first and last visit to the Sportsman. Back then I had the Fish and Chips assuming the English would do this very well. But both the fish and chips were limp, nothing crispy on my plate at all. I figure the popularity of the place must be due to the difference in taste and expectations between the American pallet and the English pallet. In other words, what might not taste great to us, might bring back great childhood memories to the English so they love it. And this works the other
  19. It's really nice how you put the spoilers right in the topic name. It allows those who were planning on watching it later to not waste 3+ hours of their life. Not to mention, I like how you put it in this forum rather than Sports Talk where it belongs. Anyone wanting to watch later would surely have avoided reading Sports Talk until after he had watched the game. I'm guessing ttk is actually pronounced dick.
  20. So without actually seeing anything, you have come to the conclusion that the Indian was robbed by a ladyboy, and at least three other people(old lady, another Thai who hopped on, and the driver) were in on it? And all this without even seeing the guy get pick-pocketed?
  21. At Villa today. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
  22. Is it normal to serve a shrimp po' boy sandwich with tail shells still on? Personally, I don't eat shells, but I know some that don't care. But honestly, I don't want to have to play with the contents of a sandwich (removing the shells) before I eat it.
  23. It actually says "an invalid international driving license" and it misinformation as well. When I got my one year license, I used my VALID IDL. In fact, they didn't even look at my California license, which is odd since the IDL isn't valid on it's own and must accompany a valid driver's license from your home country. These are the instructions I followed, but they are incomplete. It asks for original DL, but in fact, you need both the original AND a signed photo copy.
  24. Yes, many of the circles were worn through. It's funny that with so many options, they seem to use the same set of circles for the test such that just a few of many circles are completely worn through.
  25. I heard about some misinformation regarding when to renew your license(s). Specifically, for some reason people think you have to wait until after your license expires to renew it. I had motorcycle and car driving licenses that were set to expire on January 22, 2016. Having heard the above, I asked around and was told by numerous people that you can renew your license up to one month before it expires. In order to renew your license, you are required to have for EACH license: 1 copy photo page of passport 1 copy STAMP page of passport (no need for the arrival card) 1 copy front
