I'm an American chef, well traveled in Thailand. Most of the reasons Thai food sucks abroad is that these mom and pop places popup because they think Auntie and Uncle can cook thai food......but they can.

The most comments I ask in the US are----> asking the Thai restaurant manager why is it like this........response: because the regular guest request it like this...so they think every farang is the same so they don't change.

That has happened quite a few times AT FIRST.

BUT IF YOU CAN SPEAK SOME THAI......they will get the picture,,,,because they are not eating the same crap they serve to the farangs.

And another note.....I've seen countless farangs eating Thai food with chopsticks...sooo clamped up to 3" from the front of the stix. LOL..trying to eat rice..........AND......"do you have soy sauce for my rice"?  LOL

99% of thai food made overseas is lacking in authentic taste mainly due to the taste of the ingredients….chicken in thailand tastes much better than in australia or the US/UK…the chicken there is rubbery and artificially pumped up…all mass and bland taste…even the vegetables like baby corn taste different.

 

The only thai restaurant i have enjoyed overseas is Long Grain in Sydney, which is helmed by a south african chef.

No you're wrong.

The stabbers were Arabs......they are already back in Kuwait.

I hope she will recover and wish her the best.  May or maybe not something to do with this.  I try my best to avoid consuming MSG.  I think sometimes eating street Som tum and other things I inadvertently get some in my system.

 

After brushing my teeth and flossing I will often take about 1/8 teaspoon salt in my hand toss it in my mouth take a little sip of water and rinse it around my mouth for 1/2 minute.

 

I had mistakingly bought a small bag of MSG rather than salt.  I did this the other day with the MSG.  I quickly noticed it wasn't salt on my tongue and I thought what the hell is it.  Of course MSG spit it out immediately.

 

I then got very dizzy and swallowing was weird.  I rinsed my mouth several times but that taste on the "spot" on my tongue was there for hours and I just did not feel good.  I friend was hospitalized about a month ago  with a mild anaphylactic reaction to MSG.  He does his best to avoid it but it's happened once before.

 

I don't think it's related in this case sounds like an allergic reaction to me,  a little hard to figure with the history of the case.   Anyway just a reminder about MSG here in Thailand.  We really are swimming in it!

 

"Food for thought" 

Typical MSG complaints include:

• burning sensations of the mouth, head and neck, (1)
• weakness of the arms or legs, (1)
• headaches, (1)
• upset stomach, (1)
• hives or other allergic-type reactions with the skin.(2)

Your wrong about MSG my friend.

Eating in Pattaya and Thailand in general is risky, as a chef there are really no standards here or regulations in hotels and restaurants.

Yes, I work here.

My guess is frozen fish bought in a bag that the hotel/restaurant purchased. Sold by an anonymous supplier. $$$$

Puffer fish mixed in with the frozen stuff.

Just gonna be the beginning.......when you kill a struggling food vendor.....

They are on their way to Pantip Plaza to buy Apple Computers and iPhones.

Glad I'm on the elder side of life........This $hit is gonna get worse........Can you imagine Europe like the middle east.......and the Europeans coming to the USA in ships, boats, canoes, barges.......LOL

I GOTTA LAUGH AT WATCHING THE WORLD CRUMBLE.

Another Mayor who has not added any value on his watch........HAS GOTTEN WORSE.

Buy a Mac..........<deleted> are you wondering about HOW YOUR GOING TO RUN IT??????

I have a Sony Vaio also....and I hate it. Windows BLOWWWSSS. I only have to keep up to date on where windows is going.....

Most I know here in Thailand their computers are loaded with Pirated Software....Go to the States, and get caught and can be 5-10-15-20 K fine......

meanwhile my Mac is humming along, no cash out of the pocket for ohhhhh...THE NEW WINDOWS......

Worked in the Middle East for 6 years on and off. Arabs easily fly off the handle, can rape children, drinking booze, lying.

And we let these maniacs in and see what happens.

Me and my 6 wives and 47 children are going to vote for Trump.

Yes smcFan control app, lets you see internal temperature.

Can adjust to a higher rpm to cool it down quick.

You can do an out and back for another visa exempt entry without a problem. But you might be asked for a ticket out of the country within 30 days to board your return flight.

You can buy a fake ticket out, might have to pay 1,500, another guy in Poipet paid only 400 Bt.

Don't believe the story ! The ladyboy was actually running with the scissors.

I was talking to my sister a relative of her husband a retired RCMP and his wife are selling everything and want to move to either Thailand or Vietnam I suggested Vietnam and told them all I know about how Thailand is going downhill and backwards faster than a run away train.Had a friend and his wife visit 4 years ago ask about coming back to see again I also told him do not come here go to Vietnam.I told both parties do not waste your time in Thailand it is a shiit hole now.

I have been coming here 30 years.........NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

It's just getting more media coverage, 10 years ago....nobdy was videoing, twitter, instagram...etc..As they are now.

20 years ago there were beatings that nobody heard of.

This Hua Hin incident took 2 WEEKS TO GET OUT, THE COPS TRIED TO BRUSH IT ASIDE.......JUS SAYIN.

I wonder why anyone would want a police check from authorities known to be corrupt.

As a US citizen, I am in the process of needing a criminal background check,

I get fingerprinted in Bangkok, take the prints and mail them to the FBI in the US, with a check$$, takes 6-8 weeks.

I know there are all kinds of people here, but why do they let these people in? Then blame a Thai that is involved? You see these Afrikans always walking around with a bag? Yes a bag. The RTP must be making a killing.

They have run out the Indians and Bangladeshi as they are pushing for not to be housed and working like animals;

So bring in a new breed and the process starts all over.

1) No air-con in 45* heat

2) Communal toilets = 1 toilet for 50 people......no toilet paper or bum guns, just a bucket of water and your hand.

3) Slop for food being served, rodents, cockroaches infested rice

4) 6 days 12 hours........shhhhh...

5) Your room mate trying to corn hole you.

6) LOW PAY = 125.00 USD PER MONTH

7) THE STENCH

8) Need I say more.....

Good thing I will be most likely dead in 10 years.......How dumb can these Euro-Trash leaders be?
