    Is there anything Hawaiian themed? Hawaiian pizza, I imagine, but any other dishes?

    I’m certainly not an expert on Hawaiian themed.  Ambience and decorum looks Hawaiian as does the menu with the names of the offerings.  I did have a slice of pineapple next to my burger if that counts.

     

    Seriously, Big Kahuna is a nice touch but I enjoyed the food even more. :-)

     

  2. Big Kahuna

    In the old Pastrami and Rye place, same great chef. Had the bacon cheeseburger, patty was cooked fresh, not frozen. The bun was toasted to perfection.

    Definitely a quality burger, good to see Jim back. I’ll definitely be back for more, probably try the pizza next.

  3. Like a lot of things I tend to look the other way, to each their own.  I refuse to worry about it, now if it were me doing this odd stuff, yeah it would be worry some.  

     

    Being from the states it would more than likely be considered “goofy”.  Kind of like the little kid in Walmart tugging on their mother, pointing and laughing at your weird get up.  Not for me but I certainly won’t lose any sleep over it.

    I don't claim to be a 747 expert, jet mechanic or even a commercial pilot, but I will wager anything left in my bank account by Jan 12th, that this plane is not a 747,  It is way too small.  Maybe the shape of the cockpit would give it away if anyone would take a close look at the 747 which has been sitting at the Udon Thani airport for years. This looks more like a military transport.  Business must be booming there noting the size of the outdoor restaurant...

    I’m certainly no expert either but the last above plane looks similar to a C-47 Douglas transport or a variant, definitely not a “Jumbo Jet”.

  6. There is a good dentist in the jomtien immigration soi, across the road and towards the beach.

    I 2nd the recommendation. Usually have to book a few days ahead and they give options, implants vs bridges etc. Explain everything completely and prices are freely given, they even have a price sheet at the reception desk.

    Thank you all for your feedback. I am Type 2, caused in part by lousy nutrition...and some tough cancer therapy. Very active and fit and now almost fully understanding the subject. Was bit confused initially with many good sites having contradictions in their Infos. Seems clear now that the recommendations have been doing a 180 and most now recommend a very balanced diet that includes carbs and very low amounts of sugar. I have been doing an almost zero carbs, sugat for 2 weeks now, but will slowly adjust to a very low carb one. Really miss my fantastic bread and fruit juice every day. Not a gourmet, so can live with a limited diet. Anyway, the cancer will kill me before diabetes ever gets serious. But trying to stay fit as long as I can. Thx. to all and happy new year... MS>

    I would go talk to the German owner of Back Fabrik, 2nd Rd Jomtien between the two clusters of Jomtien Beach Condo.

    The owner is slim guy about 6’ tall, also speaks English and is friendly and receptive when spoken to.  I’m sure he knows more about baking bread than anyone I know and can at least advise you about the sugar content of his finished products.

  8. The condo I reside at has two wireless choices by day or month.  Like your experience they are usually pretty slow and sometimes hit and miss.

     

    Luckily TOT came and connected to the phone landlines.  I’m getting about 45 mbps download and about 10 mbps upload off a 5g wireless router connected to the landline.  Fast enough to upload huge files and watch Netflix without interruption.  690 baht plus I believe 7% VAT for 738.30 baht monthly.  Can be paid monthly or more.

  9. You can purchase an ELM 327 module which plugs into your OBDII diagnostic plug which is blue tooth enabled.  Android or iPhone your choice.  Perhaps the tricky part would be the software needed to explore the ABS codes as most software will only do the engine generic part.  There is Ford specific software available although I haven't explored this option yet, it does say it will do the ABS part though and it's for Android only.  Software Program

  10. I’m guessing the jacked up price of premium imported turkeys has a lot to do with the money being asked. Of course many of the hotels have raised their rates also due to the increased holiday traffic. If the two are related, perhaps but I don’t really know.

  11. My guess is that's just branding for fun. No chance it will be a Hawaiian food place. More general American for sure. But it would be cool to have a place to get poke.

    When I mentioned “Hawaiian” earlier I was referring to a previous poster’s comment of the possible name change to “Big Kahuna”. Hopefully it refers to burgers, not Hawaiian Food. If it’s more American more than Hawaiian that would be okay.
