What I've been trying to figure out, is how you can travel so much on a salary just mopping floors. You've been to Thailand , if I remember right, at least three times this year, along with the Philippines at least once. This, along with all of your seemingly weekly doctor visits leaves little time to work and travel so many times. Others treat rich people as royalty for three reasons. They either are getting paid or they are brown nosers hoping for a gain, or they're in a group that actually thinks these celebs are worth more than they are, which isn't true. Saying you're a connoisseur without knowing what wines you have tried means little. I have had hundreds of very expensive, excellent wines from great vintages from all over the world, and I've never been rich but just in the right place at the right time or bought them knowing they would improve over time. Actually I've been with other friends, who were just regular workers like myself, and after smoking a doobie, enjoyed a sharp Emmenthal with a 1976 Berkasteler Doktor Beerenauslese , had Chinese food with a 1953 Chateau Margaux at the local Chinese restaurant in urban New Jersey, or was driving with my best friend Al in his Volkswagen Beetle, drinking a Late harvest Californian Riesling, smoking hash and going fishing in the New Jersey northwest. None of us were academics but just friends enjoying each others company.

I would like to be treated as Royalty on this trip to Pattaya ,no more Cheap Charlie's 

Where can one as academic as me find a beautiful HIGH TEA with beautiful pretty cakes mixed with aroma coffee and teas 

 

I'm also after a Fine WINE & CHEESE night where like-minded academics can converse with me and mixing academic conversation with other  connoisseurs,whilst tasting the succulent tasty cheese mixed with beautiful aspiring wines from around the world 

 

I'm thinking the Hilton hotel perhaps.

 

I would like to be called Sir George if I may ,would I email the establishment before I arrive to ask that I'm called Sir George on arrival?

 

A High Tea is a 'working class' meal served from the evening onwards....after work. Many working class Brits, still refer to their dinner as their 'tea'.

 

You are referring to Afternoon Tea.

That not even one person here corrected you, speaks volumes. Though @Lacessit  at least described it correctly.

Many years ago I had afternoon tea at Raffles in Singapore. Lyons tea House Hyde park and the Lido in Worthing.

On the other hand there are plenty of ways to make a High Tea just depends what you put in the pot. :whistling:

Medication wore off and he didn't take his daily dose?

 

Why would anyone go to Pattaya and expect to find afternoon tea? It's Thailand, not the Queen Mary 2 on a transatlantic voyage.

 

 

I suspect they couldn't find it as they searched under High Tea.

It's far more common than you might expect.

Though La Baguette made a similar blunder in the past:

Let him be. He is Just one of life’s losers. Normally I would suggest ignoring him, but he is lonely and probably depressed so yeah let’s be nice to the poor bastard.

As you said your nearly  80.

 

I guess the positives are you won't be making posts for long.

Culture and class in Pattaya? Methinks you'd be better off in Bangkok. Perhaps down Silom in one of the higher end hotels such as the Banyan Tree. Would opt for an afternoon tea as opposed to a heavy high tea in this hot part of the world.
