No minibus in airport
This is what my taxi driver told me when I got a lift airport-Rawai last year at 10:30pm. He said if he tries to get fares during traffic times he can only get one as he is stuck for hours. Late nights, early mornings, sleeps at peak traffic hours. -

Patong - The Wake
Xylo mentions a California Petite Syrah. One of my favorite wines I drink (and sell as part of my portfolio) is the Stags' Leap California Petite Syrah. Epic inky purple, bursting with berries. -

The Hit And Run Restaurant "review" Thread
Best Pad Krapow in town! (For my taste) Pad Krapow may be the national dish of Thailand but it varies quite a lot from place to place. Years ago the version at the long closed Boat Restaurant on 2nd road was my ideal Pad Krapow. But since then I eat it less because I haven't found a place that does it my way. Well now I have. Not only does this place have the best Pad Krapow in town (for my taste) but is also in the running for an exceptionally good basic Made to Order restaurant in general (with a few off quirks). The place is called Heo-Kaow Kitchen aka Hor Khao Restaurant no English sign on Thepprasit road beach side in the same block coming from Tappraya. But you don't want to eat there! Why? Because it's a smoke fest in there from all the cooking although you might want to go once to meet the wonderful friendly proprietor lady chef. Order on GRAB instead. Same prices as the restaurant. Typical level like 60 baht Pad Krapow rice with egg and 150 seafood tomyum which might seems a little high but it's packed with seafood. Everything I've had there so far is very good and expect that will continue. But here's glitch -- no salads (yams) and no curries. But other than that the menu is robust and tom kha gai might substitute OK for a curry. On the grab menu there is a spice level list in Thai. The top one is no spice The next two are low spice (fresh or dried chile) The next two medium spice The last two very spicy Special requests are followed precisely. Such runny egg (I wrote in Thai) and minced meat (if you choose chicken, you need to say, pork has the option). One thing that really amazed me is that on one order I asked for no spice on one dish and top spice on another and that's how it came! Almost all Thai restaurants will peg you spice wise and do all the dishes that way. I don't know that she really needs the extra business, but now you know. -

Any Alternative Music bars/venues in Bangkok?
Nope. No have. Alt music doesn't exist in BKK. Been a huge fan of that style and sorry, wrong location. Thai's motto is "if you can't play well >>> play loud" or "play expensive" The "Alt culture" just doesn't exist here. Not a biggie though, accept it -

Angeles City versus Pattaya
I'll agree with georgegeorgia, hugely over the top dramatic hwy69. Gangs at the airport, rubbish Mr. Stayed in a very nice hotel Makati 10 months ago, some fun bars and discos around P. Burgos. The immediate go-go girl dancing places were empty, so quite boring. There is some decent food to be had. Did not see the gangs and robbers hwy69 describes. I like to party in Manila and then head somewhere cool for the week, back to Manila, another cool spot, back to Manila and then home, This year, MNL-Puerto Galera-MNL-Palawan Pt.Barton-MNL-Home, two week paid holiday done. P.S. and reason for edit:when I did go walkabout would take a pocket of some larger coins and give one to the utterly poor I came upon. The smile I got from a super ragged old beggar woman when I gave her a 20 peso coin was priceless.
