I went to the Amor. Several close friends were at my table, along with our boyfriends. We had a wonderful time and, as always, Richard Burk presented an absolutely delicious dinner, along with outstanding service. Several well-known people were there. Hugh Millar, of the Symphony Brasserie; Chris, of Niddy's Nook; Phil, of Sticky Rice, and many other familiar faces and friends. That was the 7:00 seating. I ran into Jim, from Jim Jimmy James as we were leaving. He was on his way in to the 9:30 seating. Every time I go to Richard's Thanksgiving dinner I always say, and mean, that his is better than anything I ever had in the USA, and believe me, I've been to…

I have been to both places in the past and really had a nice time. I ate one year at the Marriot and it was also enjoyable. Where are some other places in town where a nice event is held? http://amorerestaurant.com

GoneFishing wrote in another thread that often the boys don't have the option not to go with a customer. I am wondering if that is something that many have experienced. I have never had a boy say no to me. However, I have talked to many boys who refuse to go with clients who are other ethnicities, or have a bad reputation or a number of other reasons. I have been told by the boys I asked and they all said it was "up to boy." I do hope this is the case but do others know of bars that don't allow it to be "up to boy."

I was heading home on the motorcycle last night and was on Thepassit Road. I saw a huge outdoor movie screen. They had some motorcycles out there like a drive in but also many huts and what looked like a restaurant severing food on the grounds. A Jackie Chan martial arts film was playing on the screen. It was quiet fun to watch. I stopped on the street a bit to catch a scene and moved on. If I were here for longer, I would go back and check out what the deal is with the place. Anyone else been there or seen it?

I have been eating breakfast at a very popular breakfast place in Jomptien for 8 months. I love the food there and usually only get the same 3 or 4 dishes. I am friendly with the waiters and always leave a tip. The owner is normally there in the AM and I say hello to him although I don

I will soon start to do some remodeling. I am trying to find a whole house air conditioner system. They must have them, but I can locate a store. I currently have 6 airconditioners. 5 are very old floor mounted units. They work fine but are not very efficient. I figure it might cost close to $8000 US to replace what I have. I imagine that having one big condensor/compressor with contols to turn off the vents in unsed rooms would save on electric bills and maintenance. Maybe not??? But I have not been able to locate stores that sell them so I could ask. Anyone have information?

I know this is not Thailand related, but was hoping to tap into the wealth of knowledge the many poster have about the region. Utopia website is very outdated but maybe things have not changed in the country. I have just purchased a flight from Bangkok to Yangon for mid-January. I have not been to Burma since 2002 and would love to have any updated information or tips. If possible, any recommendations on places to stay in the capital would be appreciated. I prefer to stay at a locally owned hotel or guesthouse (would like to minimize support of the government). It would be a big plus if the hotel or guesthouse would look the other way if I happen to bring in a newly …

As my Boyfriend was getting ready to leave, the sadness always sets in even though you know it is only for a short time. He wanted to go back to his Village while I am away. Last night, I walked into my bedroom and it was covered with candles, some flowers, a bubble bath and Celine Dion music. He was all naked and wanted me to talk a bath and then gave me a massage. Then, well, you know. Anyway, I was really moved as I am not much of a romantic and this was such a sweet gesture. I asked him what made him do this for me on his last night in Pattaya, he said,

I thought Rainy season had ended. I have spent a part of every day watering my garden. However, the last 2 days, gushers of rain have plummeted Pattaya. It was hard and heavy. It was helpful to have all the water for the grass and flowers but it spoiled the days at the beach. I am sure the Rain will be gone soon but I quite enjoy the rest from the flower garden.
