Sticky Rice Balls

As someone that has worked in CM and hospitality field 30+ yrs I see pros n cons here.. I was also a Chef for a hiso market at Nim City so i was the only farang working with thais I could not teach them to cook or follow recipes no matter how hard i tried--other issues were quality control--hygiene--food temps and much much more...i quit after 5 months.. 4000 a night--yikes thats my rent for a month in a nice clean studio in city...anyhoo No matter how nice a hotel etc is its the STAFF that makes the exp worthwhile--its the front desk service--housekeeping --chefs--bartender--etc....they are thai and i bet getting paid cr*p.. U get what they pay for---and they seemingly ignore the farang GM, much as they ignored me So would a thai look for these amenities if they got a room? think like a thai...they are the ones basically running things---the GM likely gave up trying to train them as i did after 5 months I think i know the place as u said chang on draft/bar..and others have guessed it too....when the 7-11 is night street over with a cold bottle of chang for 39 bt.....as i bought one today there... You been here awhile? so ....why drink a draft?--is easy way to tweak CO2 tank to get more baht outta you...if i saw 3 of the same drafts i go outside since ur by pantip/ N bazaar and ask how much draft is......i learned this long ago--always ask BEFORE you order here.... Toothbrush etc,,,,,either a lazy maid who turns rooms daily 6 days a week? I ran a BnB and that gets old quick!!! or maybe costing costs during past covid yrs..those amenities add up for a a big hotel with 100s of rooms.....is why they try not to wash towels and sheets daily---$$$$ Also chang...probably got a deal with chang kegs as tourist dont know better and thais are all about thai beer right???.....all tourists want a thai beer they think at $$$ price--(thai minds) eggs....its rare i eat hot food..im used to it..as thais are..they get takeaway and use microwave or reheat......is why i never eat these buffets..they always disappoint.....thais are used to cold food. scrambled-----do u see thais eat scrambled..they are cooking it after all--better off ordering an omelette and thats thai.......reminder..thais i trained to cook never--ever listen to the farang-GM .....also they likely have no system...and they will never say no......i would not be surprised if he forgot how to make them...i couldnt get my guys to make tuna or egg salad correct;y w/recipes front desk---paid how much to work 6 days long shifts and dealing with tourists who expect western service---housekeepers---cooks etc.....all overworked for low wages=service level? Is likely why they cook eggs etc..the one guy aka Chef is in the restaurant keeping an eye out Reviews..I leave them all the time on google maps...and if you think im using my real name on the internet for reviews guess again......go ahead and leave one or call corporate or go on twitter or online......not asking u to identify yourself.....Id call corporate if you are really upset..they listen As devils advocate think like a local thai....most barely understand us...work long hours for low wages..work 6 days a week, have never traveled or left CM and are not aware of western expectations.......and this is why i quit my job working here as a Chef I just could not get thru to my staff and tried to do it all myself.......frustrated x10000.....is easier to just go home to work and come back and live on those $$$$.......so i place blame on both sides..fool me once..shame on them...fool me twice........remember where u are and who exactly is providing the service......

ive been here 12 yrs in CM..never been---pretty sure i know whats waiting there... rather go to mae hong son.....didnt travel across the world to be with tourists...

ooooooo jing lor?????? how much u give me????? joop joop!!

Yep I used to work there...

i use AIS 200 a month unlimited--stream music all day and stream tv after +chromecast

the party is always on as long as i have my trusty flask of sangsom......straight up-no chaser!

if in old city of CM down by CM gate---suriyawong rd--opposite wulai(sat walking street) I bike down there to kad kom market daily and lots of old timey barbers with locals and cheap prices...the old 2 chairs--tv one with sports--guy zone----straight shave too the classic way there are a few along that road...some in city but $$$ same rd as CM Gate Hotel .... i brought my own clippers and trim in down weekly.......

Hello Teerak! Bai Nai? Where u goooooooo???....

Ok I had to do this in Cm as i was so caught up in thai pass and the BS getting back in on Nov 2021 i didnt realize my passport exp within 4 months when i flew out of USA..i was wigging out! the gal at BKK Immig noticed and I said i was going to get a new one asap.... So i went to Cm consulate to beg them too..NO DICE--total waste of time with them..blah But--i was nervous as well about using thai mail system...Worked fine!!! 3 weeks i think--had to mail it to BKK --got a tracking # and the print out has all the details--info--No problems I had no other options and just gotta suck it up--then when you get it--u have to go to CM immig and copy EVERY page of the OLD PP (ugh) and they will transfer visa/stamp to NEW PP.. Is simple and easy----if u wanna waste a day at the Consulate be my guest--they were useless and i had to wait weeks to get in for it......all for the guy to hand me the same forms.....sigh The thai post worked fine----just check your forms and make sure of addresses--(tracking#) As noted mine took about 3 weeks to get back with the old and new pp to my apt in CM

Ive heard this may work on loy kroh as well with any 1000 bt donation---thai friendly as well!

Roger that Roger.....hows about some coffee johnny??? no thanks!

story of my life...

typical response...blocked

that pillow seems to violate thai Penal code 69...

happy ending foot massage.

in trade school my teacher made me shave--dry--with a crappy plastic razor i refused to shave for class(culinary)....that was no fun

drunk with power!!!!! is like me on a sangsom bender....

so the lesson is repeated until its learned--we are all adults here---and I went inside to get a large amount--thus making this not a monthly visit----it was over 30k so it lasted me months--and why cant one go in and ask?...worst case they say no and you thank them and leave... why is the debit scanner at the counter if one cant do this----and if one is taking out a large amount (30k++) isnt that money going into the thai economy?? why is this such and issue---im not telling anyone to lie and even what i said to them? will they call the cops?? smh...... You will be pleased to know I hold an account there now--should i go make amends???? Why does everyone have to police each other here and working solutions i offer--the OP can decide to try this or not--again-adults--we all wake daily and make life choices----(sighs)

Your choice or YOU choice...boy, talk about stupid....go peek in the mirror and use spellcheck

you are the one that replied to me..so you choose-after all its all in your head..-your opinion (of course you refuse to answer my question and deflect....is behavior=racism???) being cheap means i hate a race, even when i admit myself to being frugal.....your move smart guy...

is that the frank n beans? or fish related?

1000 bt extra..
