Most trips in central Pattaya are 50B for locals 60B for farangs on holiday. My Thai girlfriend could negotiate lower fares of 20B or 30B per person for very short trips. I took a picture a couple of years ago of a price list posted at a taxi stand that listed quite a few destinations. I will post the picture if I can find it.

I've seen it reported that bhat bus fare will increase to 20B in 2017. If this is true do you think motorcycle taxi fares will increase as a result?

The duck did not fall off the bone. It had to be cut off and more than a little was stuck to the bone. I was judging the wine by what I've been served in other Pattaya restaurants at the same price, not what I drink at home in California. Thanks for your response.

No connection at all with the Turkish restaurant. I live in San Francisco. I began traveling to Thailand for holidays about 4 years ago.

I had a wonderful sashimi lunch today at Sushi Hiro in the newly renovated Big C shopping mall. The food, service, and ambiance were excellent. Because of the grand opening they have some fabulous discounts if you are paying cash. I had akami and salmon sashimi with miso soup and water to drink. Huge pieces of fish beautifully served in a bowl of crushed ice. The quality of the fish was outstanding. The akami is normally 1000 thb but I paid only 400 thb. Salmon is usually 235 thb but I paid 110 thb. Miso soup was free with the meal. Total bill was 540 thb. Some menu items were discount

Last night I had my first dinner at Bite Me Bistro. I had duck confit with salad and potato gratin along with a glass of Italian Merlot. The meal was very disappointing. I hate to be negative but I have to be honest. The best thing was the salad. It was excellent and perfectly dressed. I could have eaten a large plate of the salad. The wine was undrinkable. The gratin was very watery, almost like soup, and had little flavor. The duck was tough and under seasoned. It didn't seem to be a confit but just a boring brown sauce. I wouldn't have cared what it was called if it had been good. W
