 Many many many times.

Last time was probably 5 months ago.

But not anymore.

I'll be headed to Bang Saen, Cha-am, Hua Hin, etc, from now on.

Pattaya simply sucks.

Bang Saray is much better.

The nearest beach to Bang Na (district of Bangkok) would typically be classed as Bang Saen.

Thanks!

That looks good. Must be busy during weekends, so close to Bangkok. But still better than 2h bus ride to Jomtien from BangNa.

BangNa gals always want to be taken to a real beach! So many have never been to a beach. Busy to work.

Please do not go to Bang Sean. The worst beach in the universe. Pattaya would be a world class resort compared to that.

Not often but in this case he is absolutely correct. It is and has been the Thai's go to beach. Up2U but I for sure would give it a miss. 

 

Here is is on a holiday weekend.

Maybe so in weekends but during work week should be OK.

BangNa gals are not so picky anyway. Compared to smelly ugly local beach Bang Saen should be French Riviera!

Hotels are under 1000 B too.

I go to see.

Terminal21 has best food court

I can't stand the smell of the Terminal 21 food court. I remember buying a chicken green curry there. It was cheap all right. No meat in it to speak of, only grisle, bone and skin, beerk!

[GypsyT]

Go to Jomtien Rompho market and buy whole grilled chicken for 140 B or half 80 B. Stall #1. Nice young boy.

Then BIG bag of cooked Jasmine from old lady next to it for 10 B.

Then walk inside the hall and buy nixed greens for 20 B.

That's 2-3 days of good meals for me.

Bad mood today? There is more than one vendor selling Green Chicken Curry and I cannot say that I've ever suffered an issue such as yours.

Where do you detect this smell? On entry? Somewhere in the middle of all of the food vendors or in the seating area?

Many moons ago, best Food court was in Royal Garden. Top floor with a terrace overlooking Pattaya Bay. I went one time to Central Festival Food Court shortly after they opend. At the pizza station I did see a cockroach crawling over the pizza. Turned around and have never set a foot into the food court there. I am not a big fan of eating in a underground place anyway.

Just the overall smell of the place. A dishwater smell.

one has to eat reasonable decent proper cooked food,   not Thai slop but proper Thai or Western food.

the problem with Thai food is there's only a handful of dishes that are edible. 

 

I'd much prefer a fresh ham & salad sandwich to Thai food or a decent chicken burger and chips.

The bread is necessary to soak up the copious amount of beer you imbibe. 

Lots of different good local meals out there. The quality depends on who is preparing them. If you were able to cook you would need to eat other people's slop. But you likely cannot cook. Sandwiches and burger and chips says it all. That's decent food to you.

That wasn't the answer I was looking for 😀

 

Not trying to harangue you, I was just looking for a valid reason for your disdain. 

 

Inadequate budget would be an acceptable reason.......

You expect people to only give the answers you want to hear, that is odd.

Could put it  another way than the budget, and say it is overpriced maybe?

nothing wrong with a chicken burger my friend .....  better than cold market slop.

and .... you are wrong again,  I do cook sometimes....  when I'm sober

Is that the decent food to which you were referring? 

Let's leave that aside for the moment.

Which are the edible Thai dishes in your view?

I would avoid chicken and shrimp on that plate. The rest looks ok.

I think thai green curry is ok in a restaurant, Tom kha Gai is ok,  chicken with cashew is quite tasty, Paneng moo is good,  even just shrimp fried rice if it's cooked properly,  Pad Thai can be ok if done right. 

 

anyway, that's enough of that because I know you know everything so lets just agree and leave it at that.

Not at all. Just interested in what you thought of as slop. Seems that you like Southern Thai food. That's already six dishes and I'm sure that you can come up with more. So your earlier description is somewhat unfair, don't you think?

You aren't picky then 😊

There's not even gravy with the pie, so just mushy peas and mashed potato. Dry and unappetising. 

There's a distinct lack of seasoning in the chicken meal....and is he on some kind of meat rationing? What's with the baby drumstick? 

I'm guess that's perhaps a Tom Kha Gung at the top...
