More of Pattaya's finest - Naked & beautiful II

When too much Natty is never enough.

Warm beer - what a subject.

The Brits love their draught beer (not lager) at room temperature. The idea of puttin Ice in your beer would horify the majority of bar leaners in the UK.

In Thailand getting a beer at the right temperature is nearly impossible as a constant. Many of the older fridges manage to freeze the beer - broken thermostat/defective door seals.

The new fridges, with wire rack shelving, and a very impressive temperature guage seem to stop beer getting too cold. Having fiddled with the setting at La Bamba since the new fridge arrived back in April - I have been unable to get it to serve consistent very cold beer.

The other problem seems to be that the fridges are really too small so fresh deliveries are not in the fridge for at least 2 full days before serving.

In my village we have given up and have a bucket of ice with our 2 large Leo beers.

Complaining does no good - Thais do not like people complaining and it is seen as rude here.

I did chuckle at Titian's experience about the pen. To ask for it back would be to accuse the waiter, openly, of being a thief. Big 'no no' and loss of face etc and Om did the right thing from a Thai perspective. It seems any confrontation, or enquiring question, is a big 'no no'

I have twice caught a thief and even with their proverbial  'hand in the cookie jar' will deny it. The trick seems to be to go around it a very long way and see if any admission will emerge. Not likely but did happen once - "yes I did take money because my sister need medicine". It took 2 days to get an answer and then I felt guilty about a dying child.

Perhaps to ask, in a round about way, very politely - "what a lovely pen - where may I buy one the same - perhaps I could buy this one from you" would yield some information.

Get used to Thailand it will never get used to you.......

I asked my Thai tutor recently about a dinner I attended - the Kong man in the village - the village head man.

He held a party for 800 guests and our group of foreigners really enjoyed it. The food started at 7.30pm promptly and all 9 courses were served simutaneously and hot. 9 is an auspicious number and it was his 79th Birthday. Great night with wine/beer/whisky on tap.

We were all expected to make an anonymous donation (via an envelope). Another Thai custom to save face.

Food finished at 9.00pm - all the guests left without thanking their host. Amazing, and in the West, certainly seen as discourteous if not damned right rude.

NOT in Thailand - to say farewell would have resulted in a conversation for the guest to explain their hurried/premature departure. So, to save face, just get up and go.

(pacman @ Sep. 13 2010,15:56) I saw two ME chaps last night walking along Beach Rd with a couple of fatties, one of whom was so grotesque that I wondered where on earth he found her.

It's the old joke - why is screwing a fat chick like a riding a moped? Because both are great fun but you wouldn't want your mates to find out.

But it is curious that ME and Indians tend to like their women fat. Which is good news for me 'cos I don't.

Natty is very nice Paccers. Sounds like you had a good night.

With regard to the fever I can give you and everybody else a bit of advice.
Spend a few hours on the drip.....Last trip I had the fever and went to Walking St Clinic which is situated in Soi 14 just before it veers left (at the juncture of Soi 15). I have always used it. I got there at 1 p.m. and my temp. was 103 degrees in the "old" and I was dying.
3 hours on the drip (glucose,vitamins and something else) plus a shot of penicillan in the butt and I was a new man. Actually was out on the town at 8 p.m.
Forget the pills and such they take too long to work.

Don't be a drip.....Go for the DRIP. Best 2980 Bht I have ever spent.

Cheers DK

Actually some new medical evidence suggests that fevers are best left alone and just sweat it out. Ill give you the link below Paccers to New Scientist Website as they been debating this recently and the thinking has changed somewhat.

I think I know the type of people you're talking about and their belief is they don't want to have sex with someone as flimsy as a twig. They want someone who is "healthy". Healthy to them is not our version of healthy, but a bit more rounder - for lack of a better world.

Also its about the individual's income bracket. Of course someone who thinks in terms of their own native currency instead of Dollars will want something cheaper than us and more likely to be living a hotel room shared by 6. I mean come on, we've heard the stories by now.. 300 baht short time? I guess what you're seeing is what 300 baht can net.

I personally like tall and lanky (like my avatar) so I guess my sexual preference is a bit different from some of you lb lovers. For example I'd approach Faa but I wouldn't go near Ging.

I've got an article on leeching that I could share. Any good barber in Pattaya should be able to take care of it for you.

You generalise. I hate warm beer - why do you think we bought the fridge? Putting ice in beer - aagh! I thought only the Irish stooped so low!

The rest of your post, Rossco, was very enlightening. Thanks.

No need to blaspheme brother Titian

Actually brother Rossco is correct and he is has some experience in the art of imbibing

Lager should be served ice cold , but beer ie bitter , ale etc like a good red wine should be served at room temperature .

Guinness draught = ice cold

Guinness from the bottle = room temp .

People have been lynched in Ireland for less

Solid advice

[harley quinn]

Complaining in restaurants is a real skill and they should teach it rather than Media Studies.

When I was a student I had a dish washing job in a fairly upmarket restaurant in Islington. One evening a guy complained about the tartare sauce served with his fish. A new portion was served up with an addition as - to raucous applause - the commis chef had a wank into the bowl and stirred it all together - the moral being if you complain keep your food in sight!

You sure that's a true story?

Makes a great story, but how exactly did that work logistically? Chef took the bowl into the bathroom with him, along with the Victoria's Secret catalog? Or did he whip it out right there in the crowded kitchen and go at it with some sort of crazed furor?

I highly doubt the veracity of this. Makes a great story though.

Blair used to live in Islington. Perhaps he was the chef...

A good old PB&J sammich sounds so much more appetizing now than eating in a restaurant with a moody chef.
