Laurels

-Cabbages and Condoms landscaped garden.

-Dr. Aree Taweesaengsuksakul (DDS) at Pattaya International Hospital.

-Ibuprofen after Dr. Aree.

-Party at Drunks and Dare-Licks.

-Celebrating my birthday with good friends.

-Winning free barfine from New Living Dolls.

-Perfect breakfasts at Canterbury Tales Cafe.

-BBQ Bob's Dollar burgers.

-Strawberry Sundaes at Dairy Queen.

-Getting a call from an old flame who's left Pattaya ages ago.

Lemons

-The cold.

-Farrangs fighting over a girl.

-Topless farrangs seated next to me in a restaurant.

-Carrefour no longer carrying Lifestyles' Maxx Condoms.

Your turn.

Where is "Canterbury Tales Cafe"? Sounds as though it could be worth a visit.

Laurels:

Hair cut by Kid in Soi VC. B200.

Buffet dinner at White Knight, Soi VC. B220. It's worth it just for desserts.

Dinner at India by Nature on Tappraya Road. Definitely will go back. B418

Xmas greetings from so many old friends all round the world and here.

TV Pattaya folks answering my query re garbage disposal at condos.

Call from eldest sis-in-law that she's got Skype.

Smile at Thais and they smile right back.

Bread from Continental Cafe.

Maid willing to cook when I didn't feel like it.

Finding my warm jacket bought in the last big freeze in 2000 (?).

So far, none of my tiles have 'popped' during this cold weather.

Lemons:

Not managing to do Bangkok Post Sudoku a couple of times.

Clean forgetting my neighbour's name! Still can't remember.

Bad housekeeping at condo common areas.

Washing dangling from balconies!!

Soi Chaiyapoon near the corner of Soi Buakow. Chaiyapoon is sandwiched between Soi X-Zyte and Soi Diana. They use thick bread for the toasts and I'm a big fan of their Fish & Chips. They also have a free internet terminal and WIFI in the cafe and rooms of their guesthouse.

Thanks for the info. Only had 4 days last time I was in Pattaya so never made it to Soi Buakow. After reading this and hearing about some of the other establishments in the area I'd best make it a priority to get down there soon.

Laurels

Jamesons Sunday Morning Breakfast
