A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

[chonburifc]

Haha no wonder only have the photo of ikan bilis but no photo of sweet potato porriage..oh for alcoholic, should take regular blood test for liver function, I knew someone who died within months after discovering liver cancer becos it is silent killer...he used to entertain business guests and drink alot..

Hehehe. if I ever kena something bad, hope it's a quick one. Me the type cannot take pain. Anyway, my last checkup almost decade ago was not too good in the liver. Doctor advised cut down or abstain from alcohol. Never cut down but increase.:p

Privately, I return only for CNY and mama's birthdays so it's just twice. Other time I come it's only for business like today meeting consultants for approval of my products in a construction project and tomorrow review fiscal results and approval of new annual plan for my Singapore business.

I don't like the life here Jah. It's too fast and too high pressure for me. Whenever I back sure on the third day I wanna get out. However one thing Indo miss is the food. I still like out unique hawker and tzechar food.

hehehe. Let me guess, your breakfast for tomorrow is vegetarian bee hoon or roti prata?

Ah i see. Will you be staying at hotel or at your mum's? You are jet setting world wide must be used to jet lag by now.

Gino Apartment at Patt. South. Accessible from 3rd Road as well. Nice place but only limited parking lots for cars. Motorcycles no problem. Rental is THB 8K/mth not inclusive of everything and 1 year contract is required.

What a coincidence. This place also you know. I will stay near here in June - now you know, you can come and find me.

Thanks pii gin. I agree liver function test is a must. For me my drinking is not business entertainment its more entertaining myself because I love it. For business entertainment the only thing I do is lunches and not much drinks during lunch with customers la. For dinners and karaoke I insists all done by my staff.

Yes and you told me you changed doctor to those who did not stop you from drinking, good doctors

Hehehehe. New apartment where I stay is 3-4 mins by bike from this place (Gino Apartment).:p Actually the Economy Rice (Khao Gaeng) beside Gino Apartment also not bad but have to minus a few points for the atmosphere.

The restaurant opposite this apartment is the famous Fung Pla Pao. Posted the pics earlier. Next to Gino Apartment is an apartment call VIP Place. Have a few friends currently staying at both apartments.

Overall, a nice and quiet place to stay but not too far from main road. Bonus is many chio sao saos staying in this area. :*:

Mom's place not big if I back alone sure bunk in at mom's or sis' cos sleep on teelum floor even if wife comes back alone she do likewise. But if we come back together then hotel because teelum not enough.

I don't jet set la. More like extensive traveling. Mostly around ASEAN and China and Taiwan or Japan. These places no jet lag cos timing not big difference. So for traveling to USA and Europe sure kenna jet lag la. But you may be right as I overcome it very quickly, guess its due to constant traveling I think.

Cannot hide from you then. Lobang picha already. I am staying at VIP Place. You know the restaurant beside VIP run my those young guys? Let's have dinner there one night. Or the nearby Pattaya Tai BigC
The place is not that quiet because it is at a sam yeak - lots of cars in the day time cutting through Soi Bongkot to the Sai sam.
In front of Gino and VIP is a huge dusty clearing - those cars throw up a lots of dust as they go through.

Nearby got Bird Inn - love motel

Difficult to choose. Good Doctors don't tell lies and Bad Doctors tell lies. Now, you want to choose good or bad doctor?
Still raining now. Very sianz, so think I choose the bad doctor.

You are the real P', RTKS! You got it all right!

This place is not for the regular tourist. I can say you must be a veteran to find this place.

Hehehe. My office is just 1 min walk from BigC Pattaya South. Let me know if you want to try out new places.

Morning guys. Another cool morning in Sin City due to the rain last night. Woke up by some noise downstairs. Turn out to be the workers are constructing a garden by the pond. They are really fast cos' yesterday still was empty. Think also because they are expecting rains over the next few days.

Hehehe. Here's a pic of VIP place taken from my apartment.

O-hoh (thai style). I know where you live leaw. From my room's toilet (it faces the dusty clearing I mentioned-got 4-5 stray dogs sleeping there 24/7) I can see your apartment too. I can see Gino apartment too - I have another friend who lives there too-she pays 7K/month I think. VIP is 6.5K to 7K a month, but they just raised their price I think. Internet (slow) and limited cable TV included but not utilities. Walls are thin though - sometimes can hear next door neighbour piaking.

We're going to be practically neighbours like that. Unlike what you said previously, I don't know Pattaya well at all. I have not paiteaw the "usual" places - unfortunately I mai sonjai. I like eating and talking cock more. Ignore what P'Joe says - he is the one that is really CIA among all of us - why would he fly here and there otherwise?

Come come we eat at the bottom of VIP OK? Food is good. Bring your GF and P'Joe/wife along. Or we go to that pond place - it is not that far away to the right of the photo. End of June I will be there. Will take the bus from BKK.

Hehehehe, Puean Baan (neighbour)!

Yeah, been checking rental price over the last few months, and most apartments raise the rentals for those with new contracts or no contracts. My old apartment also increase but I am still renting for another few months until I can find a place to store my stuff.

The place below VIP place is call Fung Pla Pao (means Fung's BBQ fish) and the place at the pond is call Som Ploy. Hehehehe. Now go there quite frequently cos' the oyster they served is big and fresh.

Talking about the garden construction, it's almost done when I came back half an hour ago. At least not so much noise like yesterday when they will leveling the earth.

Sianz. It's raining again. Feel like having Suki (steamboat) during such raining days but lazy to drive. Think I will just go to foodland by motorcycle for my dinner.

I kanna food poisoning from some supermarket cooked beehoon. Experiencing mild diarrhea since yesterday. Now my limbs all 'boh lak' machiam kanna raped repeatedly by Paula Taylor and Pancake :o

Don't post food to tempt me. You see ? Single living overseas, not even an sms or phone call to show concern. KNN, never get yourself sick when overseas. Later garner enough energy to walk will go out buy some food.
