  1. The Lengkee family has a long history not considered but there are some dishes. I once took my wife there she order a steam fish normally done in Thailand Tom Yum style she ask the waitress to deviate and they did came out pretty close I order the Morning glory non spices with garlic don't use oil it wasn't bad.
  2. Correct in Pattaya, even before Covid I'm not found one to my liking particularly my Thai wife. Ever since I took her to China and HK, then home to U.S. to mom she been hooked. I've not eaten at the high end Chinese places that import Chinese Chef, I can see it in Bangkok but here in Pattaya? As noted I think it was a place at Central Marina, there is a Sichan place my wife saw a steam fish dish 950 baht, that is wear she was joking is that fish imported. There are a number of dishes at Lengkee I consider pretty decent. Ingrediants seasoning surely different as noted MSG is common in every Thai kitchen order a simple plate of American friend rice topped with MSG. I'm lucky she is closer to Chinese than she thinks I never complain this way I never go hungry.
  3. I'm first generation Chinese America. Here what is Chinese food? First who do you think is doing the cooking? Sure they didn't bring in a cook from China! Even in China the use of msg is well known! then the oil which in Thailand is usually Palm. Based on what you mentioned the place won't last long with the Chinese Tour group. My wife says she is 100% Thai from up north. Aside from the peppers it has been easy to adjust to Thai food to be similar to Chinese, her Chinese Broccoli with pork over rice is near exact to what I have at home. She loves steam fish with ginger leave the pepper out Ii is like Chinese. I've never ask her how to cook but dishes in my view are like Chinese. Our biggest difference she think it is sick I eat cat and dogs and I the same her eating rat! I've not been in all the Chinese places popping up in Pattaya I look at the prices shake my head particularly the steam fish one place was charging 900 baht at T-21, I ask wife you want to try she just smiled and said is the fish from China. I thought " that's my girl ". What you described is the Thai food at the markets You ask me if I was a tour guide for a group of Chinese unless ordered I wouldnt be taking them to a Chinese restaurant it would be to a well price Thai restaurant. Several years I made a big mistake I arranged a trip for my daughter in-law son and wife both been before to Hong Kong, while there all she wanted to eat was Thai. Today whenever we travel I don't even bother with her.
  4. Intentional Ideas from 3rd world minds or bite off more than one can chew? ????
  5. Not easy balance? As to what cheek to kiss? You want XI to shake hands you better jump when he calls nothing is free.
  6. Lots of money being allocated with really little vision for the larger picture? One flight? With airport Improvements what future plans for improvement to Hua Hin infracture? a master plan or like elsewhere just take baby steps to build worry about the <deleted>hole that it becomes later.
  7. UIt does seem that way with the Brit's? Always on the news the ones I know in general seem uptight maybe it's all the tea or the need to always be right all the time they do come across real smart in conversation. I heard this one while having coffee next table one day. In conversation no matter the subject his turn " I tell you exactly what to do " a topic came up about a bombing he started to explain to his group how to make an Atomic bomb! Majority seem to be upset the " Great no longer " their country is over run with Arabs and Muslim one of the royals is a kiddie <deleted>, there is barely a Embassy presents in Thailand, they get no cost of living on their Social Security if living in Thailand, the pound no longer strong. What I listed is what I heard you come here to relax, drink, smoke some weed release the tension with a happy ending then checking in you get a bunch of lip on top got punished with a bad room? ???? Funny, 27, not too smart this one tries to burn down his own room when the hotel has you passport info how far can you go?
  8. ???????????? Fuller, you just triple down " the light is on but no one is home "????
  9. We are talking about Thailand UK has no relevance in the conversation. There is no real comparison why people like you continue to make responses like this is mind boggling. You like the Thai leaders don't have a clue move your comment to UK Driving ????
  10. Good or bad numbers? Nothing is changing because Thais leaders don't really understand the problem. I say setup more tents more people more overtime to sit and play with their phones Watch T. V. declare not just 7 days but everyday 365 and the result will still be the same. ????
  11. Something smells? I wonder what ever happen to Mai pen Rai? If he disrespectful I've seen worse from Thais and even foreigners I've not seen any rat pack open a can of whip ass on all my years living here. Shop owner account smells on two front, 60 baht whiskey not alot of foreigners buy rock gut Thai liquor then the husband grabbing the knife but didn't use the sharp end? If that was true husband should have cuts on his hand. In a melee pretty hard pretty tough to pick and chose in your attack?
  12. Thanks It was serious question without seeing chart which came later. My wife is from Sukhothai we were just visiting her farm outskirt on HWY 101. Whenever I'm there I still get up 6:30 to do a quick 3 K, although early always hot I don't really have a problem even throughput the day if we go out so I haven't felt it even someone stayed 130? Early in my life I had asthma bad allergies but later grew out of it. Even here in Pattaya they say it is high all I sense is it is hot nothing else?
  13. Good or bad?
  14. This is the result when you are basically handed picked with no real education or experience only thing you need is two hands, one to accept the payment another to make the deposit. From top to bottom this is the leadership. Look at Chan O look at Anutin!
  15. I kind of disagree with the last portion. I don't know who is requiring it or don't what we do know all of a sudden it is being said by the Embassy it is no longer required after all this time. What I do know even when I renewed September of last year I was told automatic! You noted " restrictions as what they can and can not do " yes I don't expect them to step in for every little thing. Although as a government and the some belief government can't run anything I do expect proper communication even from government! That expectation is to explain clearly why they are discontinuing and to make sure even in Thailand a representative of the Embassy make sure this decision is mutual and all Thai immigration know of the decision so citizen aren't left hanging in the wind or as they said in the middle! In the end if the Thai immigration refuses the problem end up on their lap so taking time to get it right even for government is the proper procedure.
  16. Department of Disaster! Take out the prevention and Mitigation!
  17. These warnings constantly has no meaning nor any effects. So stop with all the hot air talk get your ass out and enforce.
  18. Why don't you just come clean and give us the full story!
  19. Thailand is for Thais only! Especially for the BIB and those at the top reason illegal Thai businesses OK but anyone else they whine and cry. They invited this mess now that they are loosing grip of their country the bride money is so large it is only now they realizing their own leaders and police Sold out their own people and country for the almighty baht.
  20. I'm sure BIB were lining up for this assignment an exception to riding in the back of pickup.
  21. I see tents lots of them but like always no checking.
  22. Another warning this time by court of justice! I feel it working already! ????
