Can always add a protein shake to your diet - also provides amino acids as well depending on what type of protein shake. I take it on the rigs to supplement my protein intake as some meals are just too oily for my liking.

Much appreciated

Thanks- in the lounge now. Pattaya here I come! 😂

Bacon, egg and cheese before heading to the airport to catch my flight to Thailand 😉

Never knew pesto would go so good with scrambled eggs and ciabatta 😂

Breakfast on the beach - back onshore finally and off to Pattaya on Tuesday. Life is good 😊

Might check it out when I arrive next week - will report back if I do go 👌

Can’t comment if it’s good or not - but just came across this on Facebook. Does look good ☺️

😂😂😂 - the cornflakes 🙈🙈🙈

It’s a Indian dish - many Indian crew onboard that is vegetarian...not sure exactly what it’s called though but wasn’t bad at all. I work in Saudi so hummus is served quite regularly.

Dinner on the rig 😏

Never been to Robin Hood Tavern - but it does look good...saw these on Facebook. Will definitely contribute to this topic once I am back in Pattaya - currently surviving on rig food in Saudi so nothing worth posting 😂

Reading these posts and looking at the pics - I definitely missed out! I don’t mind the solo travels - but it is more fun in a group! ☺️

Offshore - working at the moment 🙈

Thanks @Lanzalad seems to be showing now

I am in Saudi Arabia now - and using a VPN that’s showing UK...so not sure?

Drifter - where in Thailand are you based? I’m heading to Pattaya end Feb for 2 weeks and passing through South Africa first, so will gladly bring you a decent bottle of red from there. No need to pay me back - don’t miNd doing a favor for someone - as long you in the Pattaya area it’s no problem. So far everyone on here has been really friendly and helpful 👌

No worries buddy - keep in contact. I do visit regularly 👌

Thanks Galenkia - already feel welcome. Not sure why my nationality is showing as American though on my profile? Any advice where to change it? Tried doing so on my profile but can only put in my birthday and some personal info.??

No worries buddy - heading to Pattaya for a few days end of Feb so if you that side of the world I can bring you a packet or 2? Its the pre packaged type though...fresh biltong that is vacuum packed gets real oily for some reason...tried taking it that way numerous time to the rig 🙈

I am originally from Cape Town - seems South Africa is following in Zim’s footsteps with the land grabbing. I work rotation in Saudi Arabia currently - so not there too much...

Thank you Lanzalad - much appreciated

First post - South African here. Been visiting on average 4 times a year for the past 8 years. Thanks for all the posts and information - really informative
