Hawker Chan on Beach Road at Royal Garden Plaza
cbrib replied to Evil Penevil's topic in Restaurants and food
Love the Hawker Centers in Singers, can't wait to try this one. Thanks for the info Evil, great report as usual -
Southwest air in the U.S is notorious for this. They advertise fares from said price but there is only one seat available at that price and always bought up by insiders

I haven't read Stickman in forever but that was a good read, thanks for the link!

Thailand bans smoking on beaches, including Pattaya
cbrib replied to Irish boy's topic in General Discussion about Pattaya
I see this ban being enforced about as much as no smoking in bars. Can't see police patrolling the beach looking for smokers to hand out citations to. As an ex smoker i still do not have a problem with it in bars but am all for it on the beaches simply because smokers continually use the beach as an ashtray.. FFS now beer will be 20 baht more as i will have to send the vendor to 7/11 everytime -
Get ready for another big storm (maybe)

I'm up in the soi kor pai area. The thunder and lightening last night was pretty impressive. -

I was there once and had the Philly Cheese steak, was not impressed. i also didn't like the English manager of gAsco telling me Chang was the places beer. No selection? Seeing both Evil's and MGDN photos of a chili dog with beans on it is a off putting as well. The reviews are great which definitely means something and i will give them another try, just not in a hurry. -

I love Sloppy Joes! I would definitely be there. -
I ran into Stu and had a chat with him last week. He reckoned middle of Oct. Great news, really enjoy their food.

Beans on a hot dog or hamburger is every bit of wrong IMHO. In all the places i have had chili dogs and chili burgers -- and that is a lot -- i have never encountered that. I'm with Harvey on chili con carne with no beans, on the side is fine. Evil is right about chili being made so many different ways. I like it a few different ways as well. Definitely spicy when eating it on it's own or with chips or corn bread. I don't think it should be too spicy on a dog or burger as it tends to kill the flavor. That said i do like chili dogs and chili burgers with pepper-chinos on the side -
Kiss is ok to fill a hole and push a turd. People talk about how cheap the prices but i prefer places like Tin Cup or other "aharn dtam sang" spots. If i see Kiss and am hungry sometimes i walk up soi Diana to the Diana Dragon, a little pricier but better food and menu.

Thanks for the update on AC. Sorry to hear what you reported though. I have some great memories and was kind of missing the place, think i shall remain in Pattaya

Both China Eastern and China Southern have some very attractive fares. I have heard economy is very cramped -- more than usual -- and some flights have no entertainment systems. Also pretty poor food and the airports don't offer much for waiting times and layovers. Anyone with any experience of these two carriers?

Unfortunately i have had to spend a bit of time back in L.A. recently. I just started using the Firefox free extension HOXX and has been working out very well. They also have a premiere membership level but i have not yet had the need to look into it. Hope this helps

Women will never truly understand the need to cool off the man twins. Look at how tg's ride motorbikes, their knees are practically locked together. Then look at how men ride them, enjoying that little bit of free a/c to keep the boys from sticking

It's been a while since i last ate there, good to hear their food is still spot on
-
I go pretty simple with NY NY. Thin crust, pepperoni, sausage. A bit pricey but always good.

Just remember, planning is essential and plans are useless

Let us know how your flights were. I have been thinking about using them for a while but they always seemed like China's budget carrier along with China Eastern. I use EVA, they are not great but like an old shoe i know what i am getting. EVA had basically the same schedule but quite a bit more expensive so interested to hear what you thought of them

I like NY Pizza but they are a bit pricey. I also find Domino's good, maybe because i used to order them a lot in the U.S. Their small pepperoni delivered for 149 baht does me just fine.

This crackdown is one of the more serious ones i seen recently. I think it will all blow over but wondering how many tourists will be tainted and start heading elsewhere like A.C.
