The quiet Pattaya is a unique tourist attraction. When this special time is over it can take endless years until you can experience it like this again. 

????First went to walking street early 80's......WOW...just WOW.......was the livelihood of Chonburi and the bread and butter of many poor families.

Enjoyed going there in early 80's......How things have changed......good thing is I haven't!!????

Pattaya hands down. Lived and worked in both places. Nothing against Phuket, beautiful places within a short distance, more relaxing if you prefer or need that atmosphere.

Well, that's a first.........And there aren't too many rules in Pattaya anyways......

Tough times everywhere.......

The very fragile-feeble-frail-brittle-crumbly-decrepit Thai male ego....when they get exchanged and tired of.....jus sayin.

Maybe you are right. I've kind of given up hope that this kind of thuggery will end ; in fact it seems to be getting even more prevalent. Disgusting and disgraceful.

it's not getting more prevalent.............just so happens to be the world of the internet.....It has always been spineless Thai's beating up women......groups of Thai men beating the weak 4-5-6-7-8-9-10- Thai to 1 or 2...........It's always been here.......I've been here 35 years........nothing has changed.........and I've managed to only have 1 attack on me.....and I'm the one who didn't run away.....the other spineless 5 Thais  did, knowing they weren't going to win..........Jus saying......

Australia and the US are mostly looking into your personal stuff.

Especially in the US, if you have pirated software..5k fine for each program.

That's why when I go to the US I delete all that stuff......

The wall will be built......mostly to keep the very dangerous El Salvador criminals out.......They are 10X ruthless than any group in the US.

Every time I fly or I fly with my missus, she locks our suitcases really securely. She doesn't trust the throwers (bag handlers) at Swampy one bit. 

They destroyed the lock. did you read the article?

No, you apparently don't get it....The finer restaurants would

rather lose THAT CUSTOMER and maintain their standard of

escellence.   They are always booked!

No, YOU DON'T GET IT......As a chef for 30 years, we have never questioned how a guest likes his steak cooked.

No lock? You leave diamonds in your checked baggage?

i can say the island family had a hand in this.......

I sent my steak back three times at the Dorchester hotel in Park Lane ,London. I had asked for it very, very rare.

The British have a different way of classifying steaks. For them, very rare means medium rare, medium rare means medium and medium means well done. It seems much the same here, I find it very hard indeed to get a very rare steak here. I love steak tartare (raw)  or Italian style ( carpachio?)raw. Marcos in Chiangmai does the latter beautifully. But on the whole I'm a bit wary of eating raw steak here. 

Why didn't you order it Bleu? If you don't know how to order your steak properly then don't blame the dorchester.......their Africans anyways cooking your food.

Grilling gives a better visual assessment - oil confuses it.

 

Grill 2-3 minutes on a hot grill both sides, then flip back to the first side grilled. Watch the steak surface - when it starts to sweat, remove and rest for ten minutes. Result will be slightly less pink than shown.

 

The grill must be hot to seal the flavour in.

Actually your technique is correct and the way i cook some of my steaks. As a Molecular chef it doesn't matter if your pan is hot or cold, with oil vs. no oil, with salt no salt...etc.

It's the technique.......

I can get the same results in a cold pan if you know HOW TO COOK.

What's the %&*){ is a  beef steak?

It's a British Joke Right?

1st time I was not sure what I saw..so I didn't. 2nd time.......told the guy and he just drove off......

Did you mention to the foreign driver what you just witnessed?

Another big scam near Pataya that i've witnessed a couple times.

A Car/Truck driven by a farang pulls into the petro station, faring says how much he needs, and heads into the convenience store while 2 guys on a motorbike drive past your radiator and pokes a wire into it a couple time (the vehicle front was not facing storefront.)

So, while you are driving, your car overheats, some good samaritan pulls up in a truck (the motorbike friends).

Then they tell them they can send someone to look at your problem..........I think you get the scam

Sophos. I like it more than Avast
