Hey Gee,
yeah I know its not great thai food but I like the location and the girls. I dont feel like eating farang food all the time so I do tend to eat the thai food. Basic stuff though. They cant get fried rice wrong?? Oh yeah the portions are big too thats why I get the staff to eat with me.  I have also BF one of the TG I met there before. Fairly pricy though. They do have a few lookers though. So in all I do like the place.

Nelson night time is better. I iusaully dont have a problem there. They would not let you take the bottle cos it was the glass recycle kind. How was your trip over all? I did not get to say goodbye to you. When did you leave?

Unfortunately no Mav, but at least I got to see the menu. I reckon deserts could be tasty.

Yeah I now about the bottle system Doje...........no problem.....but it was kinda funny after all of that they wouldn't let me take it on the bloody trip in the tuk tuk...........
Got back to Sydney on 17th Jan and I'm here now working on a couple of projects until mid Feb then its back to NZ for about 3 months....with trips across the Tasman every other week.....to get a few projects underway and my house in Wellington finished (you might have seen a computer generated image of it up as my avatar......I had it there for a few days until yesterday).....heading out to Milan in April for a business trip so hope to be around at Songkran for a week or so..........
Sorry I didn't get to Mai Thai to say goodbye as I was off to Krabi + Phi Phi for a liveaboard dive trip and they bought the trip forward by a day to the 10th.....the night I got back after 5 days of diving was the 15th at about 10.00pm and I had a shower shave etc and was about to head off to Eric and then I woke up on the bed wrapped in a towel about 4.00am with the TV blarring..bumma....Flew out the next day
Had an excellent tour though Doje.......got my master scuba diver certification as well so happy with that

Yeah I know M26......if it had been Sydney, London or NYC I would have had the manager over and given him/her a good old bollocking............but this is Thailand and it happens everyday......I don't think that I have ever lost my cool in LOS as I am always so relaxed and know that it only makes a fool of the person making the scene.........I've witnessed scenes so many times in hotels, restaurants etc whereby the Farang looks like an absolute a$$hole yelling + screaming even though the point he is making is possibly valid.........like that guy in Patong Villa on the board recently fighting over being charged for a bottle of water.....you need to keep your sense of humour here....you get much better results

absolutely, but when you are there for an extended period of time, it can get to you.
a good argument is this one: go to a farang restauarnat like the islander, lets say:
now, should the waitress be able to speak or better, understand english because she is working in a farang oriented restaurant
or should i be more understanding because i am in her country
ideally, it should be somewhere in the middle, but i tend to give them the benefit of the doubt and cut them alot of slack, but inside!!! ill tell ya

Well I never drank so much water. Here in the states i'm addicted to diet pepsi but in Thailand I drink loads of h2o. I took a page out of Nicke's book. Double fisted with a vodka redbull in one and a water in the other.

Yeah he usually is but I outlasted him a couple of times. Then again he's there everyday. Could not go through that much abuse
Heres to a cold bottle of water dedicated to Nicke.

Best Burgerless burgers near Bangla are the Burgerless Eggburgers on the corner! Great for ruining your new bessy 100Baht Abercrombie and Finch T-Shirt!
Get one for the security bloke, he'll love you for it!

Hey D'man.....thanks for resurrecting this thread.....funny thing is I meant to do it myself after calling in and having a Crusty burger over Songkran at Faulty Towers..........Crusty was out at the time........but yep it lived up to all the accolades that it has been given both here and in other sections of the board............went with two dive buddies and they both loved it as well........they both finished theirs completely but I was stumped about two thirds the way through......it is one big and tasty mother!!!!!!
Congrats Crusty..........you are the hands down winner of the "best Burger in Patong" Award........excellent stuff.....and next time I call in I hope to catch you to say hi...........
Forgot to tell you D'man......went to the burgerless eggburger bar and scoffed one down very late one evenning towards the end of my tour....liked it that much that I bought two more to take home...........gave one to the PV security guard but it wasn't the usual guy I know......it was another guy.........I was gonna say it was from Mr Danbar but this guy was very confused at the gesture and we both had a good laugh........he ate + enjoyed it tho'.............55555

Yep! Have to agree with you both (IJ & Nels) looks like the chef at Faultys has got his act together and fully understands the workings of a Falangs belly! I have tried to bribe him away from Paddy with the prospect of a luxury stay here in Baghdad with us! He just smiled at me and said something naughty in Thai! 55555 What does Pom Poi mean anyway?
Watch those egg burgers in bed! They are bloody hot! If the recently deep fried contents slip out while you are snaffling it in a reclining, sexy pose position and lands with a slap on yer man tits............3rd degree burns and a BG pouring a bottle of PV water over you...............ermmmm...........My mate told me about that! Cough!
