Just curious, but where do you get a good Hamburger in BKK?

Completely agree with the suggestions made by Natty, Syzy and Asian Rain. Not tried Craft / Whisgars.

But if there ever was a good expensive steak in BKK it has to be El Gaucho. Argentinian pampa grass fed cuts. MAn, I can't wait to sink my teeth into a filet mignon! Slurrppp.

And the ribs, chorizo and other stuff are great too. Definitely on the expensive side. And they make a mean Capirinha with plenty of cachacha.

If you go to the end of Cowboy, there is the place on the left that Syzygies mentions. They have a giant "best burger" sign. Swing right and you will see Bradmans. If you go left, you walk about the same distance as Bradman's and you will see the Clubhouse Grill. They specialize in burgers and it is real BBQ grill taste, with lots of varieties. Across from the Clubhouse Grill is a new place which I was going to try. They have a huge open pit BBQ. Was quite crowded as I walked by this evening. Plan to give it a try this week. Enjoy BKK, AsianRain.

Thansk sounds great /.

I will check it out when I am back in town next month.

I went to local Tesco Super Market and local food stalls.

Spent a total of 400 Baht, on nutritious food including vegetable dominated content in most dishes, supporting low Carbohydrate diet to enable weight loss.

Will last me 3 days plus including today, where have only eaten Rolled Oats so far. Can be refrigerated and reheated.

So can live on about $5 a day for food, no problems, it have a microwave, and eat at home. This is buying very affordable types of food, no imported stuff.

Rent for me in this room is 8000 Baht per month with furniture, plus electricity is extra. I supply a portable Induction Cooker and microwave.

So rent plus electricity is about $10 per day. In another 10 to 20 years It won't be this good of course.

My location is not totally optimal for mongering. LOL. Chosen by GF. In future I will move to a house in the country, for the quiet life, so I will probably not be in Bangkok sufficiently to justify renting by the month any more.

I waste some of my rent due to being here only 4 months per year, but its still cheaper than staying in a Hotel. I do not bring girls here to fuck.

Don't want everyone to know what a sleaze bucket I am.

Can use the money saved (over living in Farang Country) for mongering.

On way home from shopping near On Nut BTS a very hot girl in long black dress, cute ass, and good sized tits, passed. Despite the big sunglasses hiding her face she immediately reminded me very strongly of a hot Twisters dancer I had admired. Could not be sure so possibly wrong.

Two days earlier spotted Praow (crazy House ex DollHouse) going up stairs to go to work via the BTS (On Nut). This time certain, and she recognised me since I have fucked her long time ago. Pity she did not like kissing, DATY, or BJ. Her tits and pussy are useless (even on the girl instead of on a bull). So many girls from Cowboy live in district of Pra Khanong, On Nut, or Ratchadaa Sois. I like to think of On Nut as being like how a Thai would pronounce "All Nude". Not quite but near enough.

Yes I have eaten a burger at Clubhouse Grill too. Was a little less exotic than some of Bradman's burgers, or less unusual if you like. The place opposite is called Whisgars and the Restaurant part is called Craft I believe. I once met the probable head chef of Craft, before it opened, who was dining in Bradman's Sports Bar at the time. He was pretty confident his restaurant was going to be very special quality, but I haven't tried. I assumed the price would be higher. I guess he was an American. Chef's at Bradmans are Thai of course but well trained in Western food.

Chefs at @corner bar Burger Stand are from Myanmar most likely. They don't speak Thai as well as I do. However they do a good job. They know exactly how I want it.

The Nana Plaza Burger Stand have very inferior burgers. I suggest do not take one from there. Really crap meat. Is it even beef? The colour is light. Full of fillers?

Oskar's Bistro has a pretty tasty cheeseburger served up with hand cut fries and as a bonus you can check out some of the well dressed FL's while you are there. Ha Ha. Additionally I am sure many of the classy 5* hotel restaurants will serve up a quality burger too. The worst burger I have ever tried was the MOS Burger in Central World. What an abomination. You got to love the Japanese, not.

Stay thirsty, Uncle V.

Thanks Natty. You are a font of info!

Haven't had the burger but I do like the Steak Tatar at Oskar. And they do a mean old fashioned too. Nice, classy and relaxing place.

The eye candy on offer, though, is not so great. A little old for my taste. Though I have spied a few nice milfs there in the past.

My usual spot that makes a good Burger is at @Corner bar opposite The Old Dutch restaurant at end of Cowboy. I don't take French fries and haven't checked out anything other than Burger with everything, in my case including fried onions and they have pepper to put on if you like (essential for me), and a variety of sauces. Fortunately they do not put on any Mayo or other crap which would make it soggy. I am sure you can you own mayo if desired. The quality of the meat is reasonable. My favourite waitress is named Carrot. She is funny.

The views of guys with interesting girls or LBs walking past is quite entertaining, not exactly always candy, but some very nice looking girls. It's right next to Baccara.

For a more exotic burger (at a higher price), Bradman's sports bar Soi 23 has a lot of interesting burger variations. The Juicy Lucy is my favorite but it is a big thick patty so takes a little time to cook. They also have a burger with Portobello mushrooms that I like. Then there are US style or Aussie style, and others. Favourite waitress Aey.

Prices go up in tourist areas. Obvious really. A haircut where I stay is very cheap. If I get it cut in tourist area, the price doubles. Prices in Supermarkets like Foodland, VillaMarkt, and MaxValue can be steep in tourist areas, especially for imported Stuff. Italian coffee grounds like Lavazza could be 3 to 4 times the price in Italy. They even can charge a lot for onions claiming they were imported. They sell exotic brands of Ice Cream at incredible prices. Not sure if these stores also operate in non tourist areas.

I suggest you boycott KFC in Pattaya at least, if the price really matters. I would. My 249 Baht could do much better. I bought a whole roast chicken the other day for 109 Baht in Tesco Lotus. I have a microwave and fridge so that will last me several meals. A quarter at a time is enough protein. I add vegetables separately. If I am lazy to cook, I can buy a pre-prepared meal serve in a plastic bag at local street side stalls, often 30 to 40 Baht. I known this is not relevant to you but I suggest it to others looking to save money. I don't have microbe phobias so am happy to buy from street stalls that do brisk business and have fresh stuff. I don't eat French fries and rarely eat rice. These are considered junk filler non-nutritional stuff. I do eat bad stuff sometimes when it is sufficiently enticing. I try to keep sugar intake well down. That is not possible at McDonalds that put sugar even on French Fries and have high sugar buns. It is possible to get a reasonable quality hamburger at certain places and I do. Nana Hamburger stand is not one of them. The guy who runs that now is dumb and buys low quality meat.

Have you tried the Daniel Thaiger food truck? I keep meaning to try it but never get around to it.

Thanks for your input. May be I didn't convey the point I was trying to make in a better way. The same menu of a multinational food chain has such a big price difference: THB 161.00 in Bangkok and THB 249.00 in Pattaya.

You may be having a different diet or eating habit that's good for you. My diet or eating habit is different from yours. That's all.

The price of food in Thailand can be as little as 20% of the price you would expect to pay in my home country. I never eat KFC or McDonalds. I am watching my weight somewhat, and I never used them even when not dieting.

[Syzygies]

Ordered a combo 8 at KFC in Bangkok. It has a zinger, fries, large Pepsi, coleslaw, a large piece of chicken at THB 161.00. Really cheap when you compare it with any country. Even in Pattaya, the same combo is at THB 249.00. Very strange.

The price of food in Thailand can be as little as 20% of the price you would expect to pay in my home country. So junk food (high calories low nutrition) places like Maccas (McDonalds) and KFC are not the cheapest way to eat, if cheap is a major factor. You can get more nutritional dishes containing vegetable content for 30 or 40 Baht. Maybe up to 90 Baht for a good quantity of meat to be added. You can live very cheaply. Its mongering that costs significant money.

I try to cut down significantly on dining in restaurants as its a waste of money. Even cook my own food here, although not cheaper than buying it ready made. If I eat in restaurant, I want reasonably good quality, same as if I monger I want a reasonably good quality girl, not always the cheapest.

Asoke sounds like Ah-soak (the Ah is short). So does not really rhyme with book. The K is very soft so understandable difficult to hear.

Maybe sound of Asoke is closer to Ah-Sork in English, rhymes with the way a German would pronounce Coke (small round closed mouth). I have studied German a bit as well. As mentioned before Thai vowels are similar to German vowel sounds and not so similar to English vowels, with a few exceptions, where an English vowel is very much the same as Thai vowel, however not for letter O.

Some Thai words are very difficult to make into an English approximation.

Years ago, in addition to Thai language classes, I got to listen to Thai a lot by watching Thai Soap Opera videos, when I was not actually in Thailand, once my Thai reached a basic level. These can be obtained on Youtube, however it is hard to find any of these serials that are really watchable. Most are a bit too childish and too over acted. In the modern day I use Thai language every day in Thailand. Hardly speak English.

At start, everyone needs a good strict teacher to fix pronunciation problems. Wrong pronunciation makes you non understandable, wrong grammar is not a problem at all. besides Thai grammar is exceptionally easy. Learned with a few basic drills of the patterns.

I am here 30 to 40% of the time. For any guys exceeding these levels of attendance, I do recommend to learn Thai. My task now is to learn Isaan dialect when I have time. If you have no time to dedicate to a language, it becomes a bit hopeless. Really needs consistent effort, nearly every day.

I would like to ask Syzgies or any Thai speaker to please help me pronounce Asoke. It looks easy enough. I say Asoke as if it rhymes with the word book. But on the BTS it seems the announcement says asoo as if the "k" were silent. My hearing sucks but I would like to pronounce this word correctly since I go there all the time while in BKK.

And while we are at it the words for blowjob and handjob. Is the word for blowjob pronounced like home without the "h"? And is the word for handjob pronounced chuck wow? Thanks for any answers. I am embarrassed I know so little Thai.

Asoke sounds like Ah-soak (the Ah is short). So does not really rhyme with book. The K is very soft so understandable difficult to hear.

Om means to keep something in the mouth (like a sucker or a dick). Rhymes with Home I guess but shorter. Thai O sound is different to English O, closer to German O sound, so like the Om in German Thomas. Say Om with a very closed small mouth. Om Joo (or Om Hum) would mean suck on the dick. Joo rhymes with Coup (silent p).

Most girls probably know the English "Blowjob". Sometimes it is known as "smoking" by bargirls since the Thai word "doot" is used for sucking or smoking a cigarette.

Chuck Wow means literally "fly a kite" but is a Euphemism for a wank. How to use for a HJ I am not sure, I never ask for HJ.

I guess "Chuay Chuck Wow hai (phom)" would mean Help wank me. I would be more likely to say "Chuay nuat joo" meaning help massage my dick.
