Why did you eat there again?

My guess is that he was nice enough to give it another chance.

That was indeed part of it. I'd been told that while the farang food at Sailor should be avoided, the Thai food was decent enough. I planned on trying it eventually, but what prompted me into actionwas a post on another board slamming PBG. That poster, methinks also well known on this board but under a different handle, claimed the food at PBG was three times as expensive as everywhere else. When this was disputed (not by me, by another poster), he replied that fried noodles with squid at PBG cost 150 baht and only 30 baht at Sailor. I decided to compare what you got for your money at each. Not only was the portion at PBG much larger, but it also tasted much, much better.

 

And then there's location, location, location. Here's the views when you eat at PBG:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's what you see at Sailor (and I've chosen the more scenic views, you can see other pics from Sailor earlier in this thread.

 

 

This old fellow had dozed off in a corner of the restaurant. Be thankful I blurred his face. Him drooling wasn't an appetizing sight.

 

 

I wouldn't have gone to these lengths if I hadn't been challenged so heavily. No question Sailor is a cheap restaurant- good, no way.
