thaibeachlovers Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) For anyone walking around the stalls near Bali Hai, you will have noticed the orange juice for sale ( It's delicious at present ). It's offered in the usual small plastic bottles, and in larger plastic cups, both at 20 baht. The larger cups are, IMO, a rip off, as it's almost all ice, with just enough juice to make one think it's a full cup of juice. The small bottles are the ones to buy, as at least they only have juice in them, and you know how much you are paying for.

Daewoo Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 this thread should have been 'Ice Rip Off at Bali Hai Stalls'... watering down ice with orange juice... I hope to hear of an Ice Crackdown soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropo Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Make sure you see that the vendors are squeezing oranges too becasue I'm pretty sure some use orange cordial instead of real juice. Would this suprise anyone living here? Others sweeten up the juice with sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Some of these comments are truly amazing. Hope you all had a Happy New Year and learn how to be just a little more tolerant of others! Happy new year to you too. Some people have nothing nothing better to do than write what they consider to be witty put downs to other people's posts. Their lives must be so meaningless and empty that they only feel validated when rubbishing someone else! Either that, or they don't know that you can exit a post without having to write something! It's sad that they can't just exit a post they don't like, without feeling compelled to be negative. But, it's OK. They're just a bunch of pixels!

Thaifan2 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 TBL ,i know your symptoms .You have Pattaya burn out .It happens to most of us who stay there long enough .You need to get yourself out of the City for a few months and then realise that the things you are moaning about are very petty .

I remember trying to order Coke without ice from a beach vendor in Hawaii. They wouldn't do it. No doubt, but it still may be jolly good free entertainment to ask them and see how they react. I admit it wouldn't rate compared to watching old soi dogs cross busy roads though, but if we were all having 24 hour orgasms, sex wouldn't be so special, now would it?

Sorry, but the cups are already prefilled. Although a bit overpriced, the juice in the small plastic bottles is really nice at the moment. I just prefer to have more than a mouthful for my 20 baht.

Correct. However, don't know if I could survive long without my daily dose of Thai ( and Russian ) lovelies. If there was a Walking Street in Nakhon Nowhere, I'd have moved there long ago. I am getting so sick of risking my life every time I walk out my door due to maniac drivers, and no pavements, the general decline of the infrastructure, and the blatent corruption by the authorities. Pity the alternative is so boring. I was in fact in England/ Ireland for a couple of months recently. I was so happy to get out of those over regulated and dull places- sooooo cold, expensive and no decent totty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although a bit overpriced, the juice in the small plastic bottles is really nice at the moment. I just prefer to have more than a mouthful for my 20 baht. Not worth it at any price - my partner bought one of this whilst walking in Silom - drank it down and pretty much immediately the whole world started to spin. He broke out in a sweat. I thought he was having a heart attack. Turns out I did pass in time and we can only guess that his drink got some of the pestiside from the unwashed oranges.
