Getting to my personal happy place with weed is a journey, a process, with no hard and fast rules or time frames. My process will be different than others. I've already made mistakes and will likely make others. I'm also doing this by sampling different strains and oils to figure out what strains are best for me for different times of day etc. Where I happen to be at now involves decisions about vapes. Keep with the Dynavap? With fire or expensive heat conductor? OR Just buy a different vape with battery heating built in? If so, which one? I'm in no rush on this.

It's OK to edit posts if you are only responding to one part of the post.

Yes!

A wise comment

No need for such bickering here. As I've said I left the cannabis world many decades ago so I posted here as a way to get bearings in the radically different cannabis world of today. My preferences have led me to go down the vaping path. Maybe later I'll find vaping a PITA and revisit bongs again iced or not. I did title the topic about bongs but thanks to the feedback here it is now about vaping. I hope that is OK with you.

You give it you get it. Someone doesn't like your iced bong suggestion and you go on a vendetta.

I have highlighted this restaurant on the Hit and Run topic with the hope that as people start to eat at Da Tang that they post reviews about it there. Why? Well in general there has been a soft tradition of doing Pattaya restaurant talk there in a big bucket instead of a separate topic for each restaurant (as there are thousands). But I know y'all will do what you want so just a suggestion.

So you wouldn't want to at least try their version of regional dumplings? I love hot and sour soup too. As far as Sichuan dishes they have some there. Particularly Mala Bowls of beef or fish. Their prices on those are on the high side for the Pattaya market so they would need to be excellent quality to be worth it. Coincidentally the best version of the fish one that I had locally was in the complex across the road with the 7 11. Similarly high priced but long closed. Of course I know nothing of their quality yet but it seems to me the smartest place to start there is with the Xian wheat based dishes on the separate menu on a card. Fresh noodles including hand pulled noodles, soups, dumplings, etc. Heck you might find that you like one of their spiced regional broths as much as hot and sour.

Hopefully your last word.

Reads like satire.

Yeah I didn’t even mention the sashimi since it was it so off theme. I guess they're hoping to attract rich tables having lavish banquets. But it's cool that they're also catering to people wanting a regional noodle dish for 150. That mapo tofu is the meatless version. I will say when I noticed how extensive their menu is that I considered what a challenge it would be for the kitchen to stock fresh food unless they start getting decent crowds of customers. Keep in mind this is a brand new restaurant. Today about 11 days old!

Funny comment before about the dangers of messing with torches and hot metal while baked. Yeah I get that. I'm coming to the feeling that the main advantage of Dynavap is that you can stick it in a bong. But I find the vape mild enough without bothering with that.

That's a distortion of what I said. I don’t mind paying more for much better and so far I feel vaping is much better. Naturally my starting point was bongs because they were my thing before as a teenaged hippie pothead. There are also savings in the efficiency of weed usage with vaping especially with small weed container vaping. Of course probably not a big deal unless you're using very often. Cheers.

The issue wasn't finding them per se.

Including and especially Crimea

Yes, and ....

The menu pdf 2023.4.6泰国大唐饭店5本(1)(2).pdf

Da Tang Restaurant Means Dynasty Location as noted before Open daily 10 am to 2 pm 5 pm to 10 pm Closed 2 to 5 Chef from Xian China, not sure how many Xian wheat based cuisine (dumplings, noodles etc,), Sichuan, general Chinese. Very extensive ambitious menu. Prices range from low to very high. Market prices for fish, seafood Menu offered on tablet and be sure to ask for the more casual and inexpensive Xian based wheat cuisine menu which is on a plastic card! No I haven't eaten there yet. Staff very welcoming especially Rex who I'm guessing is an owner. On Chinese language app. Maybe Grab later. They're taking a big risk. I hope we can reward them if the food quality satisfies. This is not for western style Chinese food seekers though there are a few dishes that might work for that.

You mean this new place in Jomtien? If so can you tell us some details about the restaurant and your experience other than not going back?

In Thailand you can be sued for negative reviews no matter how accurate. I usually just say subtle things like the food was not to my taste.

I think but am not sure it would in the large circular tower located at the intersection of Tappraya and Jomtien beach road inner Jomtien. Who knows please confirm. The name isn't needed as it would be the only Chinese restaurant there. https://www.thailand-property.com/condo/3391/jomtien-plaza-condotel#openGallery

Vapor is not created by combustion. I really think in the case of dry herb weed vaping is milder than smoke. I don't know about liquids or tobacco vaping. You can also vape weed through a bong but I'm not clear that it would be worth bothering.

No doubt. I have had good Thai food there but found their service on the eccentric side. I know many people swear by their duck.

That's your free choice and your taste but I really think you're missing out and possibly haven't been exposed to some authentic Thai and Chinese dishes that might blow your mind. On the Chinese front I have been exposed to a world famous Sichuan chef and that was among the best food I've ever had of any kind. Not in Pattaya of course. I think it often does come to exposure but sure of course many maybe even most people only want familiar foods.
