Wait a few months for Foodland to open just round the corner on Thepassit and soi 17.
Finally a real supermarket here.

Why not tip the bus driver's in Bangkok too? 8 - 12 Baht a ride is peanuts!(depending on which line you choose)
Seriously, it's only 10 Baht if you go in a straight line most of the time. If they turn and go far or
you need to tranfer, it will be 20 Baht. ]
In Bankok 11 Baht for a city bus and you can go much further. I don't think it is unfair to pay 10 Baht.

The bouys at Bang Saray are the same that was at Jomtien, and they brake, thats why they were changed!
Thye just don't make bouys like they used to.
-
Go to Bang Saray. Look at the Bouys there. They are a connected in series and are sausage-shaped ,not rectangular. Nobody can walk on them, so why not use the same design here?
Jomtien just made a dumb purchasing decision.

Google is your friend
Often a query like "movie with .." will lead to a erview or link to imdb.
-
It's a funny thing that as you drive from Theppasit and Sukimvit towards Bang Saray there are no
less than 3 closely spaced signs on the highway giving you a short number - anyone remember what it is -
that says :"Complain" under it.

Frasers gets the thumbs up from me. The pretentious lamb pita pockets were delicious.
The amount of moving & shaking I'll be doing there however may require a name change from Frasers to Parkinsons.
Unfortunately, I am starting to believe that the lamb pitas are the only thing worth getting. The hamburger did not impress and
the fishburger was not fully cooked.
It's really annoying and a little strange that many restaurants have no consistency. Oh well, it's still not a bad place for a beer but for dining
I think it may be no better than the competition down the road, at least on average.
-
I like it. I'm there now, having some pretentious lamb and mint sauce pitas for the
CRAZY price of 140 Baht. Sophisticated computer analysis of the menu showed that the AVERAGE price
of their daily special was about 225 Baht which is on par with that other sports bar down the road known as Pig and Whistle.
And far cheaper than Shenanigans.
There is a separate restaurant section which is a nice touch for those wishing quiet conversation or total silence.
Did I say the specials show some imagination?
Like free dessert on Monday with any main meal.
If you don't like alcohol there is a rich juice and smoothie menu available.
The full menu was not yet ready today but from next week they will have a full roast turkey , lamb or beef for 295B
Check it out!
The service was fast and friendly .
Oh, and did I mention that it has fantastic free WiFi?
I have to ask what can be fantastic about free WiFi.
On, and no, you didn't mention it sooner. Too busy concentrating on your traditional Sunday lamb pitas?
Enough said for me.
Fantastic as in having great bandwidth. Many places these days do have good connections but not all.

a question concerning teaching English in Thailand. are the Thai students taught English or American?
-whom to blame for the bad behaviour of my neighbour?
or
-who to blame for the bad behavior of my neighbor?
disclaimer: i don't mind the spelling difference but my neckhair raises when i hear "who to blame?"
Whom is only used in written English and in formal spoken English. Who is normally used as the object of a verb or preposition, but immediately after a preposition whom is generally used: the man with whom she lived. It would, however, be more natural to say: the man she lived with.
Except for pendants you can forget about whom as it is not necessary to be understood. But it is people like you with quirky beliefs about language that make learning a horrific experience for Thai children.
As I say to my students, "good job".
I often ask "to whom am I speaking" on the phone(I get a lot of spam calls) but I understand that some Americans use "who" in this case.
Am I to understand you try and teach Thai students when to use who and when to use whom?
If I have non-beginner students, I sometimes do. It may come up in things like the TOEFL for example.

of course we will know, what a silly thing to say;
Bodies from centuries are studied everyday, it's called paleontology and guess what that is the science that precisely tells us what our ancestors are eating, like the fact they were not hunter-gatherers which is another myth, but gatherers
You mean they only ate seaweed? In fact, some did eat a certain amount of that but there wasn't a lot of choice in the arctic. So please enlighten me.
Or do you mean that none of our ancestors were hunter gatherers.That of course is a silly proposition.

I have just spent 20 minutes trawling through this lot thinking it was in Bangkok but seems its in Pattaya.
For you erudite posters please how do I know if its Pattaya forum or Bkk forum
Cheers from computer illiterate member.
There are many ways but you can scroll to the bottom of the page and look at
the right-hand corner. It will say "back to Pattaya forum" if it is the Pattaya forum.

A lot of puffery. Cell phones happened. Stem cell treatment is likely to be experimental
for decades to come. News stories need to be checked by humans and computers still can;t
translate my ex's facebook page into anything resembling normal English.
Flying cars while doable are likely to be a plaything of the military for the foreseeable future.
Invisibility cloaks won't be totally invisible but will probably look like an outline as in the Predator
movies. They will have limited usefulness.
But hey, who knows?

Repying to post 65
What a leap of logic. It shows that a few innuit who may have faced starvation or disease - we will never know - had health problems. The infestation of worms mentioned suggests that they ate raw fish out of season. Sushi is not prepared at certain times of the year because of this. Google it and learn something.
I bet you didn't read Steffensen's journal. We don't even need the innuit as some native american tribes who were mostly hunter gatherers(some cultivated vegetables). were also noted to be healthy and very "hard to kill"
The point is not to idealize their lives - they often had starvation conditions and warfare - but to learn from the best part of their lifestyle.

Right the picture of health ...
01 - The inuit were confirmed to have cancer, while eating a purely native paleo style diet.
02 - The inuit bodies were riddled with carcinoma, while eating wholly natural traditional wild foods.
03 - The inuit while on their paleo primal diet were found to have extensive bone joint lesions.
04 - The inuit gave birth to children with birth defects while eating paleolithic type diet.
05 - The inuit were found to have given birth to a child with downs syndrome (sloped forehead, demented) while on paleo diet
06 - Inuit bodies were found stricken with perthes disease, a wastage & disintegration of the leg bone (hip), and may have gone limp.
07 - A female inuit, on the inuit traditional primal solution diet, was possibly hit with breast cancer.
08 - The inuit cancer in the woman had metasticized and spread throughout her body in multiple lesions while eating paleo.
09 - All of the inuit person's teeth had fallen out, while eating paleo, and appeared to be infected with gum disease.
10 - While on the meat based paleo diet, they got infected with pinworms - small parasites living in their abdomen, often sourced from ingesting meat.
11 - All of the paleo inuit meat-eaters were infested with head lice - nits. As well as egg-larvae.
Medical evidence now confirms that the inuit got cancer while on a pre-contact primal paleo diet.
Pure reactionary balderdash. Since the traditional papaleodiet way hasn't existed for decades, perhaps you could provide a
link to the documentation of your claims for the inuit , say around, 1906.
http://www.archive.org/stream/mylifewitheskim00andegoog#page/n6/mode/2up
the link is already provided in my previous post.
I just opened it for you as people tend to criticize without even reading the content
I read it. It is based on the analysis of a few preserved skeletons which hardly proves anything. Again, nobody said that their health was perfect. Cancer has many causes and they were living in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. It is not just about diet.
There is not a single group, including vegetarians that are immune to cancer.

So who is going to explain the healthy innuit of the 19th century living on a diet of
fermented fish and animal fat?
Yes, it was documented by Steffensen and no it is not "just genetics" as sailors
who adopted their diet had fewwer problems(like scurvy) than those who did not.
It is the confounding variables that could easily cause the increase in cancer. Example:
Do people have fries and soda with that burger? Yes, then how do you know they are not to blame
for any increase in cancer statistics?
It's a myth
Inuits had cancer.
Actic Greenland mummies dated 500 years before western contact, show they had cancer on paleo diet.
Nobody said they didn't get cancer. They were not supermen. What they didn't get was scurvy.
Cancer has many causes after all.
The fact of the matter is that their health decayed after adopting a diet of Western processed foods.
This is well-documented by Price and others.
I read a long time ago a study about different races and Vitamin C. Can't recall the details, but the main point was that European should eat minimum 70 mg per day, but that isn't enough for people from tropical areas, which should get 200 mg. While Inuit can live with 10 mg (Can't recall exactly might have been 7 or 15 mg.....)
Which seems logic, everyone who couldn't handle it died already 100.000 years ago....
This is the old "it's genetics" explanation. It doesn't hold water(so to speak) as I mentioned becuase European sailors who traded in the arctic and who adopted the inuit diet had fewer health issues than those who did not.
The anthropogist Steffensen who stayed with them for more than a year and adopted their diet and way of life, also enjoyed good health. It is a fascinating sotry as he actually allowed skeptical New Yourk doctors to monitor his health in a hospital in New York where he was only allowed an Eskimo diet(as much as possible).
The science of nutrition was young at the time and after a period of many months his bill of health checked out clean. Google it.

May 11, 2014by Gabe Mirkin, MD
More than forty years ago, a group of researchers wrote an article claiming that the Eskimos of Greenland had a reduced incidence of heart attacks because they ate large amounts of whale and seal blubber, rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
Now George Fodor, of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, has shown that this is not true (Canadian Journal of Cardiology, published online April 13, 2014). The Greenland Eskimos as well as the Canadian and Alaskan Inuit suffer from heart attacks at least as frequently, and probably more frequently, than the non-Eskimo population. They also have a stroke rate that is far higher than that of the general population, they die 10 years earlier than the general population and their death rate is double that of the non-Eskimo populations.
http://drmirkin.com/heart/eskimos-not-protected-from-heart-attacks.html
Umm, Are we not comparing more than 40 years ago with now? Surely almost none of the innuit now
llive like they did . or eat like they did, 100 or even 40 years ago. I am sure that they have a lot of alcohol consumption and cigs too(as I witnessed in the 80s in Northern Quebec). In other words, this is a red herring.

La Baguette
Opened a couple of days ago. No free Wifi so I smell a greedy owner.
Coffee starts at 100 Baht. Seriously?
Everything not less than 80 Baht.
Big and spacious.
Where will the customers come from? Little Russia? The courthouse?
I've been there 4 times at lunch hour and just about every seat taken.
This is a serious business serving high quality with a well trained, snappy staff.
Chef salad with turkey, duck and prosciutto ham = 340Bt. / Large croissant = 50Bt. / Crepe with spinach, mushrooms & cheese = 245Bt. / Sandwiches 245Bt. / Milkshake = 140Bt. / Water 50Bt.-100Bt.
It's common for this to happen to a newly opened place as people are curious. Sunrise Tacos and La Pomme both started out strong.and the former
went out of business.The question is will you will get in a couple of months or so "regular customers" or at least a stream of naive tourists.
-
Not open for lunch I noticed.
I've gone by several times hoping to see them open at noon.
The new place, LaBaquette has been getting my lunch money.
sometimes closed for dinner too. As for La Baguette, I can't bother with an expensive
place that doesn't even have the courtesy to give free Wifi. Greedy B8**((.

Supermarkets and pharmacies in Jomtien

You not keeping up with the current news, eh? Drive by soi 17 and tell me what you see.
