Pattaya is not a place to go for some decent Indian nosh. It ranges from barely edible to worse than Calcutta prison food, except...

Thank heavens there is The Orangery on the second and third floor of The Avenue.

Every other Indian meal I have had in Pattaya has been a disgrace.

A taxi driver going the long way is hardly a new scam.

And it's hardly good business for him either.

He'd much rather drop you off as fast as possible and get another fare.

I'm inclined to think the taxi driver was being straight in this particular incident.

In short, there isn't any ONE clear winner...

I've tried them all (all more than one time) and they are all rubbish. There is nowhere to get decent 'Tex-Mex', 'Cal-Mex' or Mexican food in Bangkok.

Many moons ago (ten years) they used to have a Taco Bell here but that disappeared!

Good to note that internet access plays a part in my 'human security!' <deleted>!

Who cares. I moved here to avoid all that nonsense.
