    Come on Thai Visa, let's have a score board that automatically updates every reported accident and death in real time.   Plenty of room up at the top of the page 

     

    We need something to do as we hunker in our bunkers safe from the mayhem

     

    If this was Vegas we could bet on it  

     

    Yes it would be more useful than tings as 

     

    The Forum is not protected by ssl. A little bit better, sorry for any inconvenience caused throughout the day whilst we fixed all the links.   TD

     

     

    when 90% people don't even know what is SSL and don't care any of this useless notices.

    True. Since lazada was bought by the Chinese, they are flooded with loads of Chinese rubbish. Multiple pages of the very same crap cameras with prices from 800 baht to 2800 baht for the same rubbish. Better buying on amazon or be very selective on eBay, avoiding stuff coming directly from China an both instances.

     

     

    Funny, I can't san't stop laughing, as if Amazon was better ! Full of fakes and knock off exactly like lazada. The problem is not sellers, it's customers who have no idea how to choose.

    In a hot country like Thailand, one problem with the cheaper dashcams is they use a built-in battery for when there is a loss of power. In a baking hot car, batteries are much more likely to fail than the capacitor you find in more expensive models.

    Ridiculous statement read everywhere but wrong. Dashcam under sun and powerbanks under sun for years, and still no problem. Stop repeating what you have no idea about.

    Which part of my post was not clear to you, I wrote, " The G1W sold on lazada is not the same one that is sold on Amazon, a quick read of the instruction manual confirms this is a Chinese knock off - mine lasted two weeks"!!!

     

     

    You just don't know how to choose a correct seller. I also bought it on lazada 2 years ago and still no problem.

    I don't think there is a huge demand for tortilla Espanola in Pattaya.

    Agree to disagree about local Mexican.

     


    Tastes are subjective.

     

     

     

    Why, do you think that there is a huge demand for anything ?

     

    And if someone is smart enough to explain to people who know nothing what is a tortilla, then more people will like it and eat it. People just eat what is giver to them. If it's given the smart way, with correct marketing and advertising.

    There used to be a "Tapas" restaurant in Jomtien Complex with some Spanish choices. Not  that it was exceptional but it did fail. I suppose it's true you need a core base of nationals to support most national cuisine restaurants here. With exceptions of course. There would still be scads of Italian restaurants here even if there were no Italian tourists or residents, but they wouldn't be as good!

     

    A continuing mystery to me is that there isn't even one (in my opinion) "decent" Mexican restaurant in town. I think there are enough Americans to support at least one "decent" one. 

     

     

    Your idea of decent is extreme, so many acceptable Mexican.

     

    Nobody cares that the food is perfect, and actually most people understand nothing, this is why you won't the perfect Mexican in your idea.

    By Spanish omelette I'm assuming you mean tortilla Espanola which is neither an omelette in the usually understood sense or a tortilla in the Mexican sense.

     

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_omelette

     

    I've seen it sold in the deli case at Foodmart Jomtien (not saying it's good or authentic, don't know) and also Natans French restaurant in Jomtien at least used to have it. Not sure about now. When I tried it, it was not authentic in the Spanish style as butter was used instead of olive oil, which didn't work for me. 

     

    I'm also interested in a restaurant version that does it authentically.

     

     

     

     

    The one at foodmart is the real thing and is so good.

     

    But don't you agree that it could be an interesting dish to sell at many places, for Thai and farang ?

     

     

     

  10. Hello, where to eat a Spanish omelet around Pattaya ?

     

    Something so easy, that anybody can cook and that even Thai can enjoy, why not more Spanish omelets available in Thailand ? I will put this on the the lack of brain and creativity of most restaurants owners, but I could be wrong :-)
