Deadbeat foreigners

"It's been happening for ages in Pattaya."

Let's correct that; "It's been happening forever in Pattaya, Phuket, Bangkok and all other Thai locations forever , same as Thai folks asking for money. It happens.

But be careful they don't mess up your order. I went there for lunch 6 months ago, I ordered their mixed sausages meal with mash and carrots, it came and it was great.

Halfway through eating the sausages (quite nice) I also ordered their fried eggs, fried tomatoes and toast meal and chips.

Ten minutes later a second order of mixed sausages appeared. I explained that I had not ordered more mixed sausages but I had ordered fried eggs. Then the fried eggs dish arrived.

The waitress left everything on the second serve of sausages on the table and brought a big kitchen spoon to transfer the fried tomatoes to the second sausage dish.

I realized this world not be easy to sort out so I asked for everythingto be boxed to take home. The waitress responded 'but please wait ten minutes for your sausages to be cooked and brought to the table.

A farang lady sittting close by had observed everything. she whispered 'I refuse to have that waitress serve me, the order is always confused'.

Ten minutes later I departed with 2 take home boxes. My family devoured everything quickly plus a sealed tub of oatmeal and milk.

I won't go back for a while and I'll take ordering very slowly with no further orders until previous orders have arrived and been fully eaten.

I do really like their sausages with fried tomatoes. Remis me of breakfast when I was a kid and it's what dad lways asked for for breakfast, with toast and plum jam and Oz cheddar cheese and 2 big mugs of hot tea with milk and half a teaspoon of sugar.
