  1. Last night the wife and I went to a seafood place in Pak Nam Pran...Pranburi, Right on the water and we had some beautiful oysters they were prety decent. I brought my own crystal hot sauce. Bourbon Street has some decent ones as well a bit pricey...I have been wanting to try the place on Ruam Rudee for awhile I thought it was gone the last time I drove by however....Will try it next week thanks to this post!!!!

  2. Mexican food is about the only food I really miss being in Thailand. I try and eat my weight in it when I am home ! coming from California I grew up on it. What I miss here are really decent refried beans. The ones at sunrise don't do it for me. In general I find there food way way way too sweet. If I do go there I pretty much order a bean and rice burrito with guacomole and lots of hot sauce...I also miss real tamales......

    My wife is an exceptional cook and she has masterd the art of salsas and can now make some pretty decent frioles that she refries and adds beer while doing so.

    Good Luck....If it's good we will come and keep coming!!!!

  3. I knew a jackass like this deadbeat. Also from the States. He went to get a new passport. They kept it, and then thought he would just stay here without one...The police showed up and took him to jail and waited a week before deporting him.........He went home paid of his debt then was back here inside of six months.....He then started working without a work permit and got got and then deported again.....He then came back again....I lost track of him for good reasons.

  4. Protein protein protein........I just took 20 lbs of flab off my love handles......and went from an all out out of shape bench press of 270 1 rep to now 10 reps via 30 mg of glutamine and 20 mg of creatine daily.... I shut out almost 100% of fat in my diet..........I also use egg whites and skinless chicken breast and no salmon as it is too fatty.......I went from 245lbs of untrained flab to where I am now and it took almost no time.....zero fat is the key.......The method I used to build was 4 reps of each excercise going from 15 to 12 to 10 to 8 reps per exercise and as many diffrent exercises per body part as possible...on average of about 4......for example decline straight and incline then flys...so 16 sets on chest....I also started a 4 mile run walk every other day.......Done......The wife is blown away at the change and I am pretty much on the way back to where I was 10 years ago.............All it takes is a desire and a goal.....

  5. I was in there as well and the girls were fine. I bought a few beers and yes they were pricey but at the end of the day I was on vacation coming from another area of Thailand.......I kinda looked at it as a novelty. Would I go back...naw.

  6. I thought about buying a Doberman before I bought a Dogo Argentino puppy.....What they write about the Dogo is all 100% true she is the smartest dog I have ever been around and super easy to train.....I had a Doberman once and have very fond memories of him. I did a search on Thai visa and was able to find some contacts for Dobermans you might try that. Good luck.

    I agree about JJ market NOT the place to buy a dog.

  7. Well Blackjon...Before you think about opening a supplement store....Forget it, every product and every ingriedient in every product has to have a lisence from the Thai FDA....does not matter if other products with the same things in them are already here. Then allmost all items can only be sold in a pharmacy. It's a real nightmare to get anything approved and takes years and lotsa baht.

  8. It does need to be checked . However It is most likley nothing . All males have estrogen receptors in there breast tissue and it could be that your estrogen levels have elevated causing this.....It could also be that you are using some sort of testosteron supplement and your body is converting it to estrogen....Good Luck.

  9. I am an American. I don't like stupid people no matter where they come from. When anyone generalizes entire nationalities based on the actions of just a few people makes me cringe. Also makes me think that besides being ignorant they are most likley uneducated as well. Try the Caps Lock there little buddy.

  10. As many posters have written this is the same exact thing that happened in the U.S. Eric Levine is the guy that runs the show here and he pretty much brought his type of fitness buisness here from California...He learned from his boss the granddaddy of the whole Fitness-Ponzi Ray Wilson. I would say they are on there way out for sure excepy Major Group owns 36% so who can say

  11. One of the best things I ever did was to teach my wife how to cook a good breakfast......She has it nailed....Eggs anyway thay I ask her so poached or soft scrambeld or over easy...Somtimes the perfect pancake with pure mable syrup from Canada...you can get it at Villa and last but not least she makes hash browns, Grinds the beans for coffee and makes sure the OJ is ice cold.......Friends love to come to my place for the super bowl.....

  12. It must be real important to the rest of the country as well......What about Bangkok and Pattaya or even Hua Hin ? when they say they will investigate condo space would thay be to see what company built them? What next will it be people like me whose company owns my house?

    A Nation of babies Governed by Idiots or is it the other way around?

  13. I guess the legal fee's these visa/work permit companys charge will go up as well....just for the time I save I have allways used the same guy....This year he went to charge me an additional 2000b for his time saving help...I told him that if he did it I would no longer be giving him my buisness......

    Rather than see how Thailand can generate income fairly for itself the powers that be try and squeeze the resources that they have left....Us

  14. You might even think about putting petitions in Farang buisnesses in and around Hua Hin....Name..resident or tourist status...HOWEVER........It would need to also be sent to the Head office in Bangkok . Really hope it works.

  15. The poster who posted the info pertaing to Henry Joenson is spot on Henry will take an imprint of the foot and then build a specific orthotic that is custom to that foot. He has more than 10 years of making them and does so in his lab. each pair takes about 6 hours to construct. He has outfitted world class marothoners and other athletes. He makes a world class product...

    My last encounter with him was years ago and he was charging about 3500b a pair. He keeps the mold of your foot for about a year in case you want to order more pairs...he uses diffrent componds depending on what types of shoes you will wear them in.

    Foot pain, anle pain ,knee pain and low back pain can be helped with his product.

    HOWEVER.....he is not a Doctor and cannot give a diagnosis........

  16. Do they give any discounts on Burkas or maybe a copy of the Koran?...........I would never go back to that Hospital having just had to spend the better part of two months there it is a horrid place and in my opinion it is a giant money grubbing machine......BNH or St Loius for me peroid..........

  17. I have a friend who studies Hiv infection. He works for the CDA and P. His comment to me years ago was that people who have herpes need to be very careful to make sure that the lesion is entirley healed as it would be easier to contract Hiv if it wasnt.

    Women often have no idea that they have herpes if the lesions are inside. Making the whole idea of safe sex evem more important. I have been here for almost two decades and I still here of moronic guys playing the field and throwing caution to the wind.
