Okay, so this guy on 3rd Road makes Better Pita Bread than elsewhere. Is it available there or elsewhere for individual orders?

I am sure if you visit there and want to purchase, he will not turn you down.

I am also sure he supplies some stores, but would not know which ones.

I do not think Friendship is one of them, his Pita's tastes better in my opinion

On 3 road, , if you coming from Pattaya Tai(from the beach), take a left into 3 road.

Approx 500 meters on your left, next to a gym, i think the name of the gym is International Gym.

Its a small bakery, run by an Israeli guy, that does only restaurants.

If you do not find it, pm me and i will take a pic for you(may be phone number) i work in the area

I think I found it for the OP

Thats the one

If you are not trying hit and run and if you really like her why hurry? Can't you have some patience for someone you like?

Sure I can.

But I've been seeing her twice a week for six weeks, isn't that a bit long? That's a genuine question, not rhetorical... I dont know Thai dating culture.

But I know in the UK, go more than a few dates and you still haven't even kissed.. you're going to get friendzoned very fast.

Your one true friend and saviour is alcohol. Few Baccardi's or Spy's and doors to eden will open:D

Very clever - do that in Europe and you'll be convicted of rape. Getting her pissed and then taking advantage of - great way to show he really cares for her.

She sounds a nice girl from a nice family. I have good Thai friends who I know waited many months, not a few weeks, Buying chocolates, flowers, perfume and behaving like true gentlemen.

If the OP needs a quick shag there's plenty of choices around, But, it seems he wants a meaningful relationship with a decent nice girl.

To the OP - stay cool, be a gentleman and it will happen and be well worth waiting for !

who said anything about getting her drunk to a point of being totally inebriated.

Good to see so many experienced people of age to date uni students

Ever occurred to some pensioners, this is not 50 years ago, but current times, year 2014.

Yes there are some , few shy virgins, from "good" family's but those do not exactly go running to date a foreigner, being well aware of the reputation they may gain just by being seen with one.

In OP case, either she is playing the game or wants to have someone to practice English and there is nothing more to it, no matter what OP thinks or imagines.

If you are not trying hit and run and if you really like her why hurry? Can't you have some patience for someone you like?

Alcohol - the last refuge for those with no class, no personality, and no charm.

David

Right mr class and personality and naturally mr charm

As if they do not get enough bribes as is already

Ask her.

I have met a lot of ladies who were easy to get into bed after "a couple of dates" - and they were ALL sluts. (in my opinion). I'm not condemning it, but the OP seems to be looking for a different type of girl than he has)

Teenage pregnancy is not really a good thing and by stating that it is getting more common doesn't justify it.

The OP's girlfriend is an adult. Why are you talking about minors?

Do you really not get it?

If they become sexually active by the age of 13, they surely are not virgins by the age of 20

Getting into bed after a couple of dates is a "slut" in your book? again, how old are you? and what middle eastern country do you come from?

What about the ones who didn't become sexually active at 13??

I have several university friends who are virgins and in their early twenties.

I am 26 and i come from the UK.

PS. How exactly do you know they are virgins? Because they said so?

PPS. Since getting into bed with you after a few dates is considered as slut by you, what does it make you? Or your morals do not apply to self?

I am really surprised how archaic most posters seem to be. OP just move on. You sound like a typical guy who wants one thing from relationship. Fortunately there are many girls that want the same thing in Thailand. However there are still many more old fashioned one's that expect to have a solid relationship before getting intimate. Unless you are ready to commit to her then why push the issue.

I know of many young women here that are really old fashioned and wouldn't even kiss unless they were in love and knew their partner was equally committed. Also many young girls don't want to sacrifice their education and career for a relationship.

She might also be testing you to see how much you are willing to wait to prove that she is worth the effort.

If you do take it to the next level and break up with her, you might ruin it for the next guy who truly does love her.

I wonder if the posters here would make these same comments to guys trying to make it with their daughters?

By old fashioned, do you mean frigid?

You do realize its almost year 2014, do not you? and a very large number have kids by the age of 16 not to mention become sexually active by the age of 13 if not younger.

Combining the kids at 13 and the Uni must be difficult.

DO you know a way to skip teenage years and jump straight into uni?

Depends where you are looking ??? Theres a lot more tourists out on buses doing the package and side trips ... Maybe not so many hanging around the Beer Bars ??? Different strokes these dayz ...

The past week traffic has been excellent, ie no traffic at all, so the theory of buses is out i am afraid

Nothing to do with Pattaya, everything to do with the protests.

Phuket may well be busier, because people can fly directly there. where is Pattaya has to go through Suva.

It may get busier next month, but this year high season has definately been killed

While no one looks for Thai thieves, who steal 10 times the amount

This month, had 2 robberies, both in the amounts of over 75 000 baht.

Police provided with all the details, including address, id cards, photo's, tabian baan and no action or reaction at all.

I guess they really trying to support local "workers"

Use your hand until she's ready or go find a twenty year-old slut if that please you.

By the way, i study at university here and quite a few of my Thai female friends are virgins. Is your girlfriend a virgin? It would explain all of this.

Should he put her in a bath and see if bubbles come up?

Also, does sexually active means "slut"? How old are you again?

You clearly missed the context Lemon.

yes clearly

Great idea, why not go the whole hog and suggest Rohypnol??

Seriously, alcohol should not be a savior.

Rohypnol, is that speaking from experience?

This is the future if Suthep gets his way.

He should change the yellow shirts to brown shirts, more inline with their thugish actions.

What yellow shirts?

I mean really some people should have some kind of clue before posting their opinions

Have you missed it? Suthep was the one who stopped it all once he learned of it.

You really trying to say red shirts or any other shirts never assaulted anyone?

For f...k sake, not so long ago, some farmers, Somchais stopped and attacked Google car because they thought it was a spy car, despite Google being written all over it

Sorry, but since you are renting, the very first person I would ask would be the landlord

no direct contact with the landlord, renting through an agency, and they don't seem to really know the process either (or they don't have time to explain it to me... )

Condo management are the ones responsible and the only ones to speak with.

Your condo does have an office right? or juristic person?, usually most of them do

"Why are so many foreigners backing fascist Suthep" Their wife told them to...

Or they have a brain to analyze instead of following some propaganda.

As if one with half a brain, really believes PTP cares about people or country

I am one of those business owners and i have come ot terms already yet again, another year is ruined and there will be no high season.

Previous 2 years, December i had full occupancy and January by this time was already at about 80%

At the moment, i am at 50% occupancy and January is about 30%.

Would have accepeted it was only me if i did not get an email from Agoda below

Dear Valued Thailand Hotel Partner

It has been reported that current events in Bangkok have had an unfortunate decrease in tourist arrivals into Thailand during this peak season. We have been through similar situations in the past and together we have worked to bring back bookings for Thailand.

At Agoda, we will make all efforts to help you re-fill any canceled or lost business as a result of the current situation.

Cheap labor? Realizing of course, in general, you get what you pay for.

It should be obvious to any westerner that the more you pay the worse you get. Prime example is the public health care system in the west. AND no its not free, you are paying through the teeth for it. In fact the bill is so large your children will be still paying off the those bills. Through either inflation, direct taxation, pension account confiscation or even negitive interest rates. Who knows how they will do it.

Recent examples include greece, poland and russia and america among many many others.

Currently all countries are subsidising their govt monopoly run enterprises with inflation. So don't for a second think that it wont happen in your perfect country.

If you think public health care is the best in the world, well im sure you love waiting months for an operation, eating their dead, acidic food filled with sugar while laying in your hospital bed trying to recover. Plus the service there is unbelieveably bad. You are not a customer to them, you are just another slab of meat ready to be pricessed.

Instead of "You get what you pay for?" how about, he will get what he is worth! He earns me money ill make him rich. He dosn't perform ill fire him. A business person has to take risks.

What is flagrantly obvious, is that the medical industry is absurdly unregulated leading to - "And no, it's not free. You are paying through.......". I agree, who knows what the lunatics who pretty much run the world will do. They pretty much set up the * let's pass laws to solidify the outsourcing of labor to 1. Increase the profit margin for the few at the very top and 2. Eliminate employment opportunities that used to be occupied by their fellow countrymen.*

So, what is he worth? What are you worth? Did you receive a figure from some deity stating your value? Keep on looking for that "cheap labor"! It's all about the profit margin! Here's an idea - Just maybe, there is an individual who is a native English speaker, living close enough to you, is an absolute wiz with a needle and thread and you can actually communicate with this individual, because you speak the same language and there will probably be a much greater chance of things being done as you specified.

Cheap labor isn't the answer. Skilled labor seems much more logical.

Good luck in your endeavor!

I totally agree, but I dont have that person at my finger tips, for me cheap labour is some one who really needs the job, they will probably have mouths to feed and will endure the long hours, they will end up sharing my vision is the endeavour is a sound idea, ive got to start somewhere, cheap will at least give me an insight into what the speed humps will be...

I honestly think the best worker is a hobbyist who will work for free and call it fun... I dont care if I fail, I just need to get this idea of the flippen ground and out of my head

OP, I have been in business here for a while.

Since day one, the biggest problem is staff.

One problem is getting staff, 2 is keeping them and 3 putting up/dealing with some of the things they do.

Now, you want cheap, cheap ( i know it sounds bad) means bottom of the barrel.

Those will not use a brain cell for a minute and will do things that you can not even imagine , even if you really tried.

Just some examples for you, i had staff rent out bikes without any customer detail,nothing.

I had staff tell people to go to 7-11 to buy drinks because its cheaper than in the hotel.

These days staff is very hard to find, i advertise monthly for past 3-4 years and i am always short staffed,they would rather not work at all, then work for small money.

May be if you based in deep Isaan, you might have a chance to find some people, but again, they will not be cheap because you are a foreigner so they will expect higher salary.

I am afraid ambition is simply not enough in Thailand,

I can tell you, last week i worked for 3.5 days straight with no sleep at all, because 2 staff decided not to show up to work at all.

Now i am doing 19 hour days because again short staffed

Not trying to scare you or sound negative, but this is the reality of things.

OP, I am afraid you in over your head.

It is hard to find any staff , let alone cheap and temp.

The ones who read websites are not going to be cheap and the ones who know where look also will not be cheap .

Word of mouth is about as lucky as you going to get and even then it would not be cheap.

Just look at all the factories, they pay 12k + and always short staffed
