intoxicajun

I have to admit, some of you really crack me up.

IN- meaning inside

TOX- as in toxic

CAJ- like in a cage

and

UN - as in UNDO, like right click, undo.

To break it down: Inside a toxic cage trying to undo myself.

The post is to point out how ridiculous it is to hear people getting ganked on that road by kids with knives and machettes for pennies on the dollar. Icon is not to blame, lack of knowledge is. I mean Icon could spread the word. Funny that so many people are still getting robbed by knife point. I have neve been robbed by knife point, not sure why.

All I mean to say is stay off the bad roads. But, as I have said before, as long as someone is getting robbed, at least the crooks are staying over there, and are nowhere near my front yard, god help them.

Oh, and a Pit Bull (K-9) riding along with you on a scooter would get you further than a fanny pack would. My Opinion. But as long as there are fools, they can keep the crooks fed and happy.

This will be the last post I make on this topic, because like most things here, it will never change. That is why I love it sooooo.

love to all

TURN AROUND AND LOOK!!

The road from Icon, the premiere in safety and security for their elite clientel, to Kata should not be traveled on before 5am and after 10pm. The Icon Owner should utilize all measures that his clientel know this full well, but he is got his hands full. I will pay 2 security guards, one at each end to wave off tourists and dumbarses. Maybe then I could read some quaility posts.

reminds me of a movie saw once. Guy wants property cheap, hires thugs to rn everyone out, buys land cheap, makes a supercity. Robocop, I think.

Walk tall carry a big arse PIT BULL.

I was speaking out of bounds when I said that beating my child part. If you knew me, which it has become crystal clear no one here does, you would have known that was the rough draft. I would have thought that I would have outgrown shooting my fingers off like that by now, but I have a vivid imagination and a short route from brain to mouth..

I would never show disrespect to any religion or belief system. I honestly respect all, but I never receive respect for mine, no matter where I go. So at times, my first reaction is one of anger. But I soon realize that not all can show respect for others' beliefs.

I would never hurt my child, and I am sorry, but I feel that teaching her certain things are far worse than a spanking her. Many would disagree, but I want her to decide what to believe in when she is ready to decide..

Halal, having spent Ramadan on a rig in the desert in Qatar near KSA, is opening up a main vein and allowing the animal to die slowly by bleeding out. Western standards kill the animal instantly.

As for my restaurant... I am sorry my opinions have turned you off. Please come, your first meal is free, and I promise not to be in Thailand while you are dining. I mean honestly, lets keep the debating here, in the forum. I would hate for anyone to miss out on this food.

.... But, if you just can't forgive me,

well.....

more for me, shaa!

Ahhh eyyy!

Tox loves Tax. Tax eats free!

Honestly, are you serious? I have personally had it with this "change the world to suit your needs" crap. If it aint like Saudi, and Allah says you can't have it, then don't eat it. But don't ask that your meal be butchered a certain way. What's the difference? I have had much experience with this halal business. I had a Saudi Engineer with me in China. He only ate rice because the good book told him he could not eat pork. Well, my opinion is this:

If you opt to believe that Paul Bunion had a big blue ox named babe, then so be it. But don't bring that crap here. Halal is done in your home country and not here, then stay home. The world does not have to change to suit the needs of Musliums. Musliums need to accept that not everyone believes in that hokey pokey nonsense. There are plenty of destinations where Saudi's can feel right at home. You are on vacation, do as the romans, or go to Malaysia.

This Muslium thing is out of control. I love the aussie government for what they said about Islamic Law.

Musliums need to realize that not everyone knows what halal is. Not everyone has to avoid pork, and not everyone shrouds there women and makes them wear retarted ninja suits so as to not turn on all the men that see her. Be Muslium, by all means, it is your right, but keep it off my front lawn, because I personally think that it is the reason for most of the problems in the world. And as a father, I will beat my child if she ever comes home with a Muslium friend. Mind Pollution.

My Opinion.

Salam alakam!

Well you have managed to make sure I wont be visiting your restaurant thanks to such open minded views as these..

As you have moved to a majority muslim location your the one importing your standards... hypocrite no ??

Secondly why should a purchaser not be able to insist on the item they are purchasing to be a certain standard ?? They are not saying you have to do anything.. Only that is part of thier religious code..

Whatever, all I know is that all of the well to do, rich folks that I know in Rai Wai have never heard of this forum. I can also say, that you are not welcome.

How can they be Musilum, they can't translate the text? How do they even understand what they are doing?

We will not be halal due to the extremely cruel nature and the mistreatment of animals. Eating them for food is one thing, but to bleed them and wait for them to die is inhuman.

ok folks. this is getting ridiculous. please refrain from name calling, threats, etc or more warnings and suspensions will be issued.

I apologize to ThaiVisa and those offended by my post(s).

Sincerely,

Tox

The religon is from the Middle East and based in the Arabic Language. In order for it to be truly practiced and understood, it must be either translated exactly, or all Thai Musliums must speak and read Arabic. I speak a bit of Arabic and I have read the Quran. And I have yet to meet a Thai Muslium that has either read the Quran or one who can speak Arabic with me. As far as asking me to go home? I am home. I live here for what it is, and I dismiss it for what it isn't . I do not complain about what it lacks, and I never question it for what it has become. But 50% Muslium? I doubt it. More like Monkey See, Monkey Do. Like Christanity. Do what we do, and DON'T ASK US WHY.

A Non Muslium can eat meat that is Halal, but a Muslium can't eat meat that isn't . Anyone care to guess why Halal is so important to Musliums? Where the idea comes from? Have you ever seen an animal butchered Halal?

How would you like to be butchered if another species wanted to eat you?

Ask yourself this, why would such a "peaceful" religion be so horrific in the preperation of meat.

There are those who govern, and those who are here to be governed. Which are you?

My Opinion.

Salam alakam!

I returned from a trip to Samui yesterday and come home to the worst news.

My housekeeper informed me that my bulldog walked up on a cobra in my driveway and the cobra bit her on the lip and she died 5 minutes later.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep cobra's from killing family pets?

For those who know, Sara, the light colored one died.

I am f###### crushed. She was the best dog I ever owned. We cremated her last night and now I am lost.

I have a 4 year old a 5 month old and another bulldog.

Please help!

I am talking about Pre-dinner drinks, a big a$$ hunk a mammal flesh and a cigar with a bottle of Bordeaux, maybe Remy, if he isn't busy. Is there a website for non budget conscience?

I want to go FAT KID STYLE. Who's hungry. We are arriving on the 4pm fairy.

Need a hotel now.

Can any of you locals in Samui recommend a nice place for a big a$$ Steak on the island.

No backpackers here. We are not budget conscience.

Also, best beach for snorkling.

Hotels also recommended. 8-15K range.

Thanks

I also suggest using your bright lights or high beams. Move, do not linger. There are more crime elements at work here than you realize. Be smart, interior light off, high beams on, move swiftly and get where you are going.

I heard that rule as well about leaving the scene of an accident. If someone does collide with you, for F#@ks sake don't stop. Especially in a dim area. Just keep going until you get to a police station. And stick to the major arteries, and avoid the back roads at all costs.

Take care of yourself first.

Well, my opinion..

The lights cost money. To have them on at night costs money. No One is out after the police stations close, so why waste the money to burn lights when no one can see them.

Occasionally, when I return from work, I am upside down on my sleeping schedule, and I find it to be truly relaxing for a midnight drive around the island when I can't sleep.

I see many people up to no good around 2am to 4am. Maybe they are trying to discourage all activity at night. Either way, don't fall for anything at night. Get to where you are going and do not stop for anything. After 10pm, I wouldn't stop unless it is a well lit, populated place.

tox

Also, if you feel like, best beach, resturants, and nice hotels (5-10K THB) price range.

Best beach for snorkling.

That's it, Thanks IA.

tox

Heading to KS for a weekend get away from HKT. Can anyone pipe in and tell me of the best route and the name of the town (in english or thai- can read both) that the ferry for the island is, times, and an other cheats for the trip.

Thanks

I can tell you that NOBODY in Phuket oes burgers like I have had in Houston, and with that said, we will have a BadA$$ burger on the menu. For those who know burgers like we know them. No offense to any countries out there, but America makes the best burgers. Philly Cheese Steaks, Cajun Atkins Wraps, Grilled Prawn with Cajun Alfrado Sauce, and Fat Hen Gumbo. Anyone ever heard of a TurDucKin? Or a deep fried Turkey?

We will be fresh. Our Chef will be on hand to assure authenticity, and to do Quality Control. We will have a Resturant Manager and either will be on hand to see to our customers needs. We will bring a new attitude as well as a new management approach to our place.

Our staff won't want to quit. We will offer benefits to our staff.

Free ChildCare

Free English Lessons Daily

Free rides to and from work via motorbike taxi

Free uniforms

and more...

As I said before, some people buy boats, some buy airplanes, me...I'm doin Cajun Food.

As long as I can pay my staff, we will be successful, and we aim to stay in Rai Wai.

tox

I am by no means an expert on choosing locations or furniture or whatever. I am, however, an expert on Cajun Food. I played American Football in Highschool and my mother fed everyone. This stuff is just flat out delicious and addictive. One time she made dinner for myself and a friend on our way through town to hit the beach...we never left.

What I really want to say to everyone here interested in our idea is this:

I was raised on this stuff man! I work in the Energy Sector, and will not be opening this resturant for fame, fortune or fortitude. I want a place I can go an eat, where I know it isn't going to be absolute crap. I want to have all the food I had as a child. And whatever I can't eat, I am going to sell ta yall.

With that said, The reality is this: Gormet Recipes, A/C, Fine Wines and Spirits, Cajun Chank-a-Chank Music, our staff personally trained by our Chef, Ryan Waddell, and everybody is going to have on shoes. We will bring Mardi Gras to Phuket, Beads from Bourbon Street, and if all else fails....

If you are in Patong, Call us, we'll send a car for you! I mean honestly, we want to feed you, not rip you off. If it ain't good, you ain't payin!

Seriously, I wouldn't start a fire in Patong much less a resturant. I hope our place can sustain itself with the locals here in the South. That is what we are really about. Getting together, cook up some Gumbo, and Crawfish Etouffee, have some laughs, and get home safe so you can come back tomorrow. We will be a success because we will have a crowd made up of people who truly enjoy what we are creating. Not just food, it is an entire Culture.

We are working on the Live Crawfish. Will keep you posted!

Long Live the South!

tox

Does anyone know where to buy a Glock 19? I mean seriously, if someone attacks me, I will have wanted to stick a pistola in their face. Most would disgree, but I come from the wild west. Sorry but this really makes me feel alone here. The police aren't paid enough, and we are all just tourists, no matter how we live.

Rest In Peace.

Regards to his wife and son.

it can be done in one day. rent my scooter and GPS for 800 THB so you can stop and smell the roses. GPS will take you to the front door of Ranong Immigation, and back to HKT without the need of a map. Stop and see this beautiful country. They have tons of waterfalls and such. Mini bus should be discouraged at all costs. All I ask is that you come to rawai and eat cajun food when we open.

Scooter is Honda Silverwing 600 Touring Model. Full Insurance.

Lao tee Kuhn.

Tox

The Chef will be Executive Chef Ryan J. Waddell.

Crawfish will be served. Crawfish etouffee, and Boiled Cajun Style.

One thing to clear up:

2 Farangs from Wales have a baby born in Thailand, does that make the baby Thai or Welsh?

Had a conversation the other day regarding CAJUN. We are going to set the record straight.

I am so excited for yall to taste my mama's cooking, I am about to burst.

tox

This is not an idea for investment, nor is it a get rich in Phuket deal. My Uncle used to say, "I got all the food you can eat, and all the beer you can drink, if you don't like it, don't come back!"

We have found our location, and it comes with free parking. (22 Spaces) so all of you looking to get out in the car, can have a spot to park. Motorcycles are also welcome. Helicopters can land on the helly-pad on the roof.

This restaurant came from the 2 things. 1.) Phuket as a whole has few places with good food, service, and value for the money. 2.) My mother is running herself ragged in the hustle and bustle work force, and is missing my baby girl growing up.

So, with these thoughts in mind, I have come up with the idea for the restaurant.

It will be in Rai Wai, will seat around 28 people, and have a open kitchen, (for those who like to watch.....) and a full bar.

Boudin will be made fresh, and will be available for shipment to Chaing Mai.

Cajuns were peasants. They refused to fight in the Civil War, Never owned Slaves, and grew everything they ate. With that said, Phuket can rest assure that our place will be geared to medium to large portions, at prices around 150 - 600thb. (we will have fine steaks and wines, as per our Executive Chef.

We are shooting for opening Jan 1. Free tasting party TBA.

tox

thx.

Whyever do you use a dodgy IP and a gmail address if you are all above board ?

Well put !

Jerk???

That's bold. I find humor in all things. I am sad for the souls on the plane because I know all to well of what it is to be landing in Phuket. The magical feeling of not wanting to wait, being so excited for the sights and smells. I know what it feels like to be waiting to land, close, but not there yet... To be told by the crew we are waiting on Mother Nature...

I know the extreme rush of excitement finally being told to prepare for landing and knowing we were almost here.

To touch the runway, a slight cheer from the the passengers is heard, but what I have never felt is the sudden wind gust, and the plane crashing.

I feel bad because those people never made it. There vacation was cut short. So short that they never knew the greeting they were to receive. Over in a flash.

What I find absolutely ridiculous is man kinds' sudden need to bring this misery and suffering to people who don't even know nor care where this Island is. To bring you not only the news, but bring the heart felt stories of people to other people, for the sake of entertainment. The fact that you would participate in this makes me sick. I may be a jerk, an Ar$eh°le, but what else would I look like to someone like you. You are just one of many cattle along for the ride.

say what you want on this forum, but letting some Journalist market, edit and sell your feelings makes me think of many names to call you, Mate...But I reserve name calling for face to face conversations, and leave the disagreements to be discussed here.

I think that News in ALL its form, is good. But the News, not the feelings related to such. It is Journalism of opinion, to me, that is funny.

Death happens. I hate it like the rest, but reporting to the US the feelings and thoughts of other people between NON-related commercial breaks to me is ludicrous.

But by all means, participate if it moves you. Jerk? you say?

One thing about me is you could never call me worse names than I've called myself.

Thus endeth the lesson.

un like some people, I don't own a hotel, or work for one. I would compare Bangla in Phuket to Bourbon St. in New Orleans. I recommend 15-20 more minutes in the Taxi and come down to Karon beach, as well as Kata. Kata has fantastic resturant selections, it has a nice beach for sunning and shallow water swimming, and it will allow you to relax and enjoy your trip, and not suddenly begin counting the times you "almost died getting hit by a Red Mini Bus"!

Sorry.

In Karon Kata I would go to Kata Noi. All vans, taxis, tour guides know it. I don't predict a lot of swimming fo your baby, but I would recommend Kata Noi because of the moonlit, surf walks at night. This beach gets rough and the sound can be heard if you crack your door.

Phuket is magic. Anywhere you stay will be fantastic.
