El Taco Loco

Add Thailand, just as a comparison.

SB, always ready for a putdown.

Fatties is also loosing it. He is not aging the beef anymore, now served with grizzle. The service, while good for the first year, has gone downhill. Same babes, real Thai I do not care and cannot see you unless you jump 10 meters attidude. Not a falang restaurant anymore.

The owner is not there as much.

So you are comparing Fatties to a yet unopened restaurant? One cousine too many? Arai wa? Where is there a Cajun restaurant? How many German, Swiss restaurants do you really want in this place?

We need to convince Intoxicajun to also add real huge hamburgers as part of the menu. No one makes them the real way in Phuket.

One of the reasons why Los Amigos is doing well, far far away from Patintong: Good food, good prices and very different food. Beats all the so called TexMex places on the island.

And Thais may just enjoy Cajun food. They love TexMex when I take them to Los Amigos and they go back alone.

Solutions, SB, gives us solutions.

Okay, for you, this is the food of your childhood.

For the rest of us, this is one cuisine of many. Frankly, it doesn't matter how good the food is, if you open in Rawai, it will depend on the price. Simple as that.

Check out Fatties restaurant for a winning formula.

Restaurant succeeds irrespective of where it is located. If the food is good, quality is constant, service remains good, expats will come and tourists will know about it. Many expats avoid Patong like the plague and the food there is not THAT good.

Some of the best farang food I have had has been out of the tourist area. Example, new Swiss run restaurant near Villa California. Not tourist priced and the food is very very good. (Not Swiss Delight, that place has gone downhill).

The OP opens in Pa-tin-tong, his rent will be huge and staff turnover will be a complete headache.

But as another poster stated, I too would go far to eat some real Cajun food.

One in Phuket. La Baia, I believe.

Great news. Thanks for the update.

Most major hospitals have them. BNH or Burumgrad (sp) would be my top choices. Others will have more, I am sure.

I am surprised that Thailand is more corrupt than Mexico. When I worked there, every other right turn there is a cop with his hands in my car window demanding money. I don´t get that here, unless I, cough cough, break the law.

The law is there. 3 wheelers are illegal, as are 3 or more people on bikes. And passengers have to wear helmets. It just simply is not enforced. Period.

Give the guy a break! We need this station here and at a count of 2900 songs, that is 2850 more songs than that god forsaken fm 90.5.

At this point in time, the mating calls of a bloody hyena would be better!

In another forum there was mention of a place where he could be tested. I believe it was www.psiadmin.com .

As of 9 pm today, CNN is reporting 5 monks killed. BBC is reporting 1 monk killed. Very troubling, indeed.

Off topic, but to answer the question of education. I teach here. Yes. The schools suck here, no matter whether Intl, EP or Govt. schools. I may have to move back home when venerable grasshopper is 3 or 4 due to the schooling.

Thanks for all your comments.

Not only that, but the steak is pan fried. Yuk! I age my steaks for at least a week before I eat them, then off to the grill they go!

Steak 50 in Phuket Town, Samkong area, midway between Vichara Hospital and Phuket Bangkok Hospital (same side of road). The cheapest steak dinner in town, only 50 baht for steak, fries, and salad. Have beef, pork, or fish steaks. Water jug, no extra charge. Not a huge portion, but good enough for lunch. Open all day. Clean, fresh, and friendly staff.

Went there today took a friends wife to the hospital called there on the way back, it was as you say enjoyable and cheap

50Baht? must be buffalo!

Your question is superfluous. Of course get him the Cnd citizenship. As others stated, let him decide. It is a gift and he will one day appreciated it. Even if he decides to live on Yongue street, T.O. one day. 8-)

Hi. Actually, we read about Isomil and am looking for it.

The symptons are just rashes, hard bumps. They come and go as they please. He was breast fed until 2 weeks ago, when he developed hand, foot and mouth disease. He had some bad bumps and blisters inside his mouth and parts of his feet and hands. After about 5 days, he got better and just simply plays with the breast.

We started weaning him about 6 months ago. He ate solid foods before the disease and ate it during, albeit liquids and icecream.

Now, after recovering, he has some red rashes behind the elbows (inside the arm) and behind his knees. We use menthol lotion and physioderm cream. It helped somewhat a few months ago; now not so much.

I just finally told the wife to stop listening to 4 <deleted> doctors and just go with one and try it out. 3 out of the 4 were pediatricians and the last one mentioned the posibility of cow milk allergies. In about 2 weeks we will take him to BKK for an allergy test and get a final answer.

In the meantime, as he refuses bottles (never did like them) but loves betagen and other yohgurt style drinks, we are giving him less of it, as he needs the calcium. He is a fussy milk drinker so we have to do the lesser of all evils. We have not stopped the cow milk completely as we are worried about his dairy needs. He does not like soy based drinks, but I think Isomil will have to be it for him if the cow allergy is confirmed.

Her update here would benefit all, not just me.

I would love to hear an update, actually, from the OP.

After going to 4 doctors within a week, there is a possibility (btw, 4 doctors, 4 different f$""/·ing opinions ) that son may be allergic to cow milk. Some have suggested goat milk. Nom Pé.

Anyone have ideas if this could work? He was breast feed for 17 months straight and then stopped. Now he has bumps on occasion and scratches alot.

Tks.

Happened to ours as well. After 3 days, I gave him a small gentle warm water enema and out it came. Otherwise, lots of prune juice over a period of 2-3 hours and out it comes as well.

Alternatively, if you know someone in BKK, have them buy it and ship it to Udon. They have a couple of models, from 4k upto the stated 6k.

Not important for me. I wish you great success with it, though!

Impossible. Never visited the site before, so there is no old cache. Anyway, Opera, IE and Firefox, all show, at 11:30 pm, Phuket time, " Note: All fields marked with * sholud be filled out."

I have driven to Penang and it was like comparing apples to oranges. Nice 4 lane highway. Toll all the way. No idiots driving on the wrong side of the road, etc etc.

At Sadao border, cross to Malaysia. Go to first window at drive through, hand in passports, then the next window to pay for visa and car entering ML.

A few short metres in, make a U turn, as the transport office and insurance companies (several competing for your business) are.

Go to insurance company first. Take your reg, dl (Romanized. Get it done at your local Thai DL office). You will pay extra for two black and white license tags (romanized), etc etc. 30 insurance is about 800 baht. You can buy upto 6 months.

The insurance people will come to the car, verify VIN and tell you where to place the sticker tags.

Then go into the transport office, show DL, vehicle reg, insurance papers. They print out a large square blue paper that must go behind windshield. It denotes VIN and length of validity. You will be asked how long you will be in ML. Careful, as they only give you as much time as you tell them.

I did not have to show proof of ownership. Strange. But that may have changed as the situation in the south is deteriorating and they may check for more papers.
