bro joe,

i remember u posted b4 that u been to saiyko camp in the 80s. did u ate at the chicken rice stall beside the main canteen. that stall was the only stall there not owned by saf camp commandant. the granny served a toned down version of our chicken rice and chicken soup meehoon which i find very nice. while the rest of goondus headed for the canteen, i always go to this stall by the side with only 3-4 tables who main customers were the thai soldiers and saf perm staff. i tot that type of makan is common food until prove wrong as i cannot find anything similar in bangkok. even the coconut ice cream sold by the "mobile s4" also cannot find in bangkok.

Alamak it was 1987 April more than 25 years ago seriously I cannot recall la. Only can recall drinking hot Singha beer at that 43degC summer heat under vehicle and can also recall the cold icy chow-kuey (ching chow).

I dun recall the chicken rice as well.........my time was 3 food stores side by side with the sweet thai teenage girls manning the stores........maybe different era......remembered the horse machines.......the empty skyvan body in the field behind (used for fucking sessions).......the gift shop FL MILF (one of the camp thai capt's wife).......

Comfort level is very individual. Not been to Patts awhile, but you could check out below 4 star types (not the Ritz). Also now high season, with selll out circa xmas/new year stretch. Check both direct hotel webbies and resellers like Agoda or Booking.com

Talking about Pattaya hotels.......is the A1 still there? As a starry eyed impressionable 18 year olds back then........this hotel was the epitome of 5 star back then for us NS men......saving a princely sum to stay there finally.......shape of a ship was really impressive.
Later years started working graduated to those real 5 stars with private beaches aka Wong Amat

Ya few years back pass by looks run down.....
All the SAF perm staff hotel of choice then was Lek Hotel.....because got discount for SAF......now they got a Lek Jomtien even.......fonds memories of the place.
Another cheap favourite was Cherry Hotel.....250 baht for a nice room.......walking distance to beach and had a swimming pool even.......

Great meal Spotter. This 古早人 dishes looked a little like our Teochew porridge. I bet if eat this in Singapore say in Havelock road will surely cost you more than $50. So how much was this meal?

Almost RM90
Split by 3 person :p
Exchange rate : SGD$1 = RM2.48
