  1. Sorry I missed seeing this. That was very kind of you. I was in Bali for the month and had a great time. I could see relocating to Indonesia. How was your trip?
  2. You were right about that buffet. It’s 130 baht and very good. I’ve been going most mornings. It’s maybe a 10 minute walk from my hotel. Thanks for the tip. This is the whole reason I’m here. The sharing of useful information.
  3. I’m heading back to Chiang Mai this week, I’ll give that buffet a try. For 160 baht it looks very good. Thanks.
  4. Personally, I hope they tear the whole thing down. Ugly, and it louses up a lot of views. Hopefully nobody here put any money into this.
  5. Very nice review, as always. And timely. I’ve been looking for a new rib joint ever since Smokin’ Joe’s stopped doing their specials. Spending 465 baht for a half rack of ribs is a bit hard for me to justify. Though it’s funny, when I got here I’d say, “500 baht? Hell, that’s not much” but after a year I say, “500 baht? That’s a lot of money.” As you’ve mentioned before, for less than 300 baht, you can find some very good food in Pattaya. It is a pleasure searching for it.
  6. Your posts have been a pleasure to read. I personally would enjoy seeing the rest of this series. This is, of course, your choice. I’ve been living in Thailand but plan to explore more of SEA soon, since who knows how long any of us have. Regardless, Thank you.
  7. Right now, waiting for my girlfriend to finish making dinner. We went to the Old Market in Naklua today. Sunday is crowded enough, worse with a Thai holiday coming up. But that is some very nice seafood, and we bought a lot. Life is good lads.
  8. Nice. Thanks. Where are you finding them on special?
  9. So what are you drinking now, or have you given up on wine?
  10. You’re kidding? It used to be 150 baht? I guess the old days really were better. Still, beats the hell out of my old life.
  11. The prices there are even worse than Thailand? Damn! That said. I have to get to Indonesia within the next year. I’ve got your posts saved and plan on reading them soon.
  12. Lately, I’ve finally been able to start drinking wine again. And I’m looking for something decent to drink. I know I’ll be paying too much, but I don’t drink in bars really. So making dinner at home and cracking a bottle, or getting wine out is a luxury I’m willing to pay for. Any recommendations on a decent red? Mainly for drinking with dinner, and afterwards. I’ve had Mont Clair, and picked up a nice half bottle of one of the Jacob’s Creek reds. Both were enjoyable. I’m not looking for wonderful 10,000 baht bottles, but just good, satisfying everyday wine. That said, if anyone knows of any fantastic but more expensive wines, please tell me. Are any of the Thai wines worth trying?
  13. Damn. We were there in December of last year. Maybe you just hit an off day. I’ll give it a shot next time I’m back anyway. I’ve got a lot more places to go first. Living the dream.
