This hotel on central pattaya street used to be the Little Duck.
Its advertising breakfast at ฿99 until end of November.
Altho not as much choice as somewhere like Apex its good quality.
Thai & western food.
The best thing is its quiet. No music, tv etc.
Interesting decor.
Five staff members bowed me out the door
I was the only customer

Nov 22, 2009 - 3:10 AM - by dirtydog | There is a saying in Thailand which is considered I believe a slight childish insult, that is Toot Dum, which translates as black bum, now we all know the Thais love affair with whitening creams, if the label has the word whitening in it it will sell by the truckload.
I can see the Thai tv advertising campaigns, a beautiful pale skinned Thai lady, maybe putting the dirty laundry into the washing machine, as she bends over her pale skinned children jokingly call her toot dum, miracualously as she stands up she... [Read More] | |

Nov 22, 2009 - 1:14 AM - by dirtydog | Chicken and Red Bean Chili Recipe
I finally decided to make a proper, well sort of proper chili without using the mixer packets I normally use and decided on the recipe below, obviously with the size of Thai chickens 4 breasts isn't really enough to make a good sized sandwich so I bought a kilo.
Things I didn't put in due to the computer being upstairs and the kitchen down stairs was olive oil, butter, sugar and tomato paste, obviously went heavier on the garlic and chili as it does need some spice to it.
Doesn't look too bad does it with 4... [Read More] | |

Nov 21, 2009 - 8:50 PM - by BillyBobThai |
I am considering, as a hobby, the making of whiskey from corn and rice here in Thailand. I know that is probably not a kosher thing, as far as the BIB are concerned, but will only be doing it as a hobby at home. Having never made whiskey before, but have done a lot of research on the topic, I would like to talk to someone who has done it before. BG, I understand that your bro-in-law was making some at one point, but stopped due to high taxiation. What I am looking for is a recipie for the finished product, after it has been distilled.
Thanks in advance.

Nov 21, 2009 - 7:52 PM - by BillyBobThai | |
I am currently in the process of remolding the wife's old country home. The kitchen is the next project that I am going to be working on, and I would like to have an oven that is temperature controlled. The stove that I currently have is a gas model with 3 burners and an oven. The problem is, that the oven is not temperature contolled, you just turn the flame either up or down. Trial and error, a piece of shit for baking anything. I want an oven that will let me bake bread, pork and beef roast, chickens and anything that needs a constant temp. I have seen at HomePro, different ovens, but am not quite sure what they all do. A convection oven would be great, as would a built in model. A... [Read More] | |

Nov 21, 2009 - 4:54 PM - by hillbilly |
Now, the phone is not really disconnected. Well, not the local service but the long distance service has been disconnected. Why?
I forgot to pay a B84 bill last month. So instead of paying the only local phone company at some 7-11, the bill has to be paid at the main office. What a pain in the butt.
One might think that someone in charge would look at my past history with the phone company. No late bills except obviously the last one and the fact that many times the long distance charges have been several thousand baht per month.
What a bunch of boneheads. My wife says I am the bonehead...... [Read More] | |

Got a mate coming out with his 18yr old sister, he asked if she will be legally able to drink or not.
I was not aware there was legal age and google is giving me mixed answers.

Nov 21, 2009 - 9:34 AM - by Butterfly |
It was in standby mode, I use the remote to turn it on, and then nothing. No light. Won't even turn on with the switch, it's completely gone. I suspect the power supply gone bad or the motherboard simply died.
I should have known better, Macs are unreliable and crappy, badly built and sold as strong. After less than 1 year, it stops functioning. Typical.
I bet the International warranty has expired last week.
