Weho Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 I'm looking for IMPORTED decaffeinated coffee... the Thai stuff isn't to my liking. I've looked in some of the better markets here, and haven't found any. Any suggestions? I got a great deal last week on a coffee machine at Carrefour... with one of those steamer/froth thingies coming out the side... Typical answers expected: "Oh, well what do your goldfish drink" "Oh, someone who eats at Sizzler and gets 'Happy Meals' from McDonald's now has high standards..." "Go ask your cuchie pie..." "You drink decaf? I would have guessed you were all wired..." "That won't go well with your high-class 35 baht non faux roast beef sandwich..." "Do us all a favor, and don't ask us about your coffee needs..." "Puh-leese..." No comedians, please.

markr Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) My best grade 'A' coffee material A man walks into a cafe and asks the waitress how much the coffee is. "It's £4" replied the waitress. "Well how much are the refills then?" asks the man. "They are free" says the waitress. "Hmm, well I'll just take a refill then!". Mark Edited June 8, 2007 by markr

Do you have any more current material, from this or the last century? Here is a punchline to a joke: "... even presidents like their coffee filtered!"
Kerryd Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 You can afford coffee ? Two things I avoid in Pattaya, lady-boys and de-caf coffee ! I assume you've tried the usual outlets (Friendship, Foodland, Tops, Big C, Carrefoure) ? If it can't be found in one of those places, I'm afraid you may have to drink real coffee !
markr Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) Have a look online, Im sure there will be plenty of companies that will mail it straight to your door for a small fee of course, but you will be getting the......... grade 'A' stuff Goodluck weho Mark Edited June 8, 2007 by markr

It's always a good idea to stay away from faux ladies and faux coffee.
bino Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 All things considered, decaf is probably a sensible idea for Weho. Could you imagine his postings after two or three shots of hi-test espresso?? Weho- maybe you could try some of the upscale coffee shops... Starbucks type places. Most of them sell beans, and would probably grind them for you.
larvidchr Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 There is decaf. Nescafe on the shelfes in Carrefoure, but why on earth you would want to drink it , beats me, it would be like looking at somebody else getting a B...... Kind regards
goldfish Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Google bon cafe pattaya, there's a few stores in pattaya. Should have what you are after
Fred Sanford Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 come to BKK and load up at villa. I think they've got freeze dried Folgers decaf for 10 times the US price, stale and outdated most likely. While there I'm sure you can grab some import non alc beer too
Firefan Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Wauw; as if nobody read the original post...... he is not asking for instant decaf coffee but decent REAL instant coffee. (must not crack joke about decaf....must not.... ) I think I have seen some highend brands like Davidoff having a medium grind decaf at Villa in Bangkok. CHeers!
raro Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 do it yourself! http://home.howstuffworks.com/framed.htm?p...affeination.htm In short, soak the beans in Methylene Chloride (I guarantee you, that stuff is 100% free of any bacteria... ) and dry them afterwards. Makes a great cuppa!
Humphrey Bear Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 I was going to recommend this place in the Oman - but there was a hurricane ..... Coffee_Shop.doc
percy2 Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 come to BKK and load up at villa. I think they've got freeze dried Folgers decaf for 10 times the US price, stale and outdated most likely. While there I'm sure you can grab some import non alc beer too There is a Villa opening in Pattaya on August 1st.
booman Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 Starbucks has decaf, Decaf is especially good for the enemas if regular caffeine makes you too jumpy. Good news is it will taste the same before and after use.
Weho Posted June 30, 2007 Author Posted June 30, 2007 Starbucks has decaf,Decaf is especially good for the enemas if regular caffeine makes you too jumpy. Good news is it will taste the same before and after use. I disagree... caffeine doesn't have the same effect when "ingested" annally, as it does when you drink it. It is considered harmless, if fully caffeinated coffee is used for enemas. Check with your own doctor first, but that's what I've read and been told, over and over. Furthermore, a decaf enema won't have the same cleansing effect as a caffeinated enema. And by the way, the best enema supplies in town are found at that big pharmacy on north Pattaya Road, sort of across from the Tesco Lotus: Faustino. Their enema department/display deserves a thread of it's own... maybe even it's own website.

I believe I am one of the province's foremost authorities on colonics, enemas, hydrotherapy, irrigation, the large intestine, etc. I think there is a thread on the HEALTH forum I either started or contributed to, which has much more information. As a matter of fact, today is my "special day"... over the next hour, I'll be... shall we say, "busy"?
Pattaya_Fox Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 I think that the bottom has dropped out of this topic...so to speak and the thought of what Weho is going to do over the next hour has brought me to a decision to close this meandering topic.
