Yesterday I had to take my car to Banglamung to have a dent filled due to some idiot backing into it while it was parked outside my place, both the insurance assessor and the body shop demanded to see my driving license, why the fok they would want to see a driving license I have no idea, when I asked them they also had no idea, anyway, once they finally got it into their thick skulls that one does not need a driving license to own a parked car, and also that the car was not in my name they gave up on that idea, pretty dumb some of the natives, also got them to respray my bumper aswell as I blamed the damage on that was done by the idiot who backed into my car
shall pick it up next week
Anyway Banglamung is about 8 kms from Jomtien, ie you go Jomtien, Pattaya, Naklua and then your there, poxy long way just to get a dent filled, so I decided whilst waiting to be picked up I would try some of the more local style noodle soup, as this is quite a way out of Pattaya it's only 20baht per bowl, but you got to remember the locals eat fat and gristle and don't mind the odd bone or insect in with their food, I was quite suprised as there was none of that sort of stuff, I think it is because it is opposite the CholChan hotel so they get lots of farangs who have turned their noses up in the past at stuff like that, all in all pretty damn good and a bargain price
Outside of the noodle soup shop.
A bbq catfish and chicken stall that was also outside, got to admit I was quite tempted by the chicken, the fish still had their heads and eyeballs though
The noodle soup shop also sold fish paste sandwiches, probably the most disgusting thing one could ever wish to eat, not only is the bread the worst in the world I doubt if the fish paste contains any edible parts of fish in it
Inside the noodle soup shop.
My red pork noodle soup, pretty damn good for 20baht.
