[QUOTE=UncleVolodya;1931676]Just curious, but where do you get a good Hamburger in BKK?
[/QUOTE]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.

[QUOTE=NattyBumpo;1931688]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.[/QUOTE]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.

[QUOTE=UncleVolodya;1931676]Just curious, but where do you get a good Hamburger in BKK?[/QUOTE]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.

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?

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.

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

[QUOTE=UncleVolodya;1931676]Just curious, but where do you get a good Hamburger in BKK?[/QUOTE]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.

Craft is very expensive. Want some good craft beer? Hit Wishbeer on Suk 67 for happy hour. 200 baht pints of Euro and US beer.

Stay thirsty, Uncle V.[/QUOTE]In that area, Firehouse, right around the corner is very good.

Guys,

I'm planning to visit Pattaya this October.

Please clarify some doubts.

1. Since I am alone can I get a lady companion from Pattaya. If yes then how much will I have to pay?

2. I never visited any bar in Pattaya so walking street is new to me. Heard about tony disco. Can you elaborate on that.

3. A cheap and best hotel to stay in Pattaya?

4. Precautions while travelling alone?

5. Last time I found really beautiful receptionists there how to hook up with them?

Please help me.

I heard good things about Firehouse and wanted to try it one hot late afternoon, but it is a small restaurant and the only available seating at that moment was outside so I passed on it. I will give it a try sooner or later. The burgers looked good.

Whisgars / Craft has another location on the corner of Silom and Surasak. I passed by it one afternoon and smiled. The branch on Soi 23 is very popular. I like a good craft beer as much as anybody. My current favorite brew is Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA. A really tasty brew. I wonder if it is available in BKK. Kind of doubt it.

El Gaucho; I have walked past the place so many times. Sounds like it is the real deal, but $100 for a steak, yikes, that's more expensive than the Capital Grill back home. Does it come with parmesan truffle fries or at least an empanada on the side. 555. Thanks for the tip.

Putting things back into perspective, the Cowboy burger stand is going to cost you $5 for a pretty good burger. A large (too large for me) pretty good quality steak can be had else where for $25 (e. G. Bradman's). A smaller one for much less. A wouldn't waste $100 on a steak, I would rather waste it on girls. LOL.

5. Last time I found really beautiful receptionists there how to hook up with them?

Please help me.[/QUOTE]Mongering is not really compatible with hooking up with Hotel Receptionist in a classy Hotel. You don't have much show of hooking up with them, assuming they are top quality.

They can be very choosy about your class, nationality, amount of money etc.

In a low class Hotel maybe. You did ask about cheap Hotels.

You have to consider that a non P4 P girl won't want to be seen with a probable monger Farang in Pattaya other than she will take you to some place where she can get a commission from the house, e. G. Restaurant or disco.

But only where you are in public view. She won't go to your room.

[QUOTE=Ricflairt;1932643]Guys,

I'm planning to visit Pattaya this October.[/QUOTE]Good idea!

[QUOTE=Ricflairt;1932643]Please clarify some doubts.

1. Since I am alone can I get a lady companion from Pattaya. If yes then how much will I have to pay?[/QUOTE]Of course. Pattaya is full of women that wish to provide their services to visitors. Prices start at about 500 baht and go up to 10000 baht or more, depending on where you found her, how she looks, what services you require and how long you will keep her. The Pattaya Reports forum on this site will tell you more.

[QUOTE=Ricflairt;1932643]2. I never visited any bar in Pattaya so walking street is new to me. Heard about tony disco. Can you elaborate on that[/QUOTE]Walking Street is not really the "bar area" of Pattaya. It is mainly discos and agogo clubs. If you want to pick-up someone from a bar, Soi 6 is a good place to start. I cannot tell you anything useful about discos as I cannot stand the dreadful sound levels they pump out. You will find reports on the discos and clubs in the Pattaya Reports forum.

[QUOTE=Ricflairt;1932643]3. A cheap and best hotel to stay in Pattaya?[/QUOTE]Cheap and best is a difficult combination. See the Pattaya Hotels forum on this site for more info.

[QUOTE=Ricflairt;1932643]4. Precautions while travelling alone?[/QUOTE]Don't get drunk; don't carry too much money or valuables with you; don't get into a fight; smile; if things don't go as planned, just go with the flow and smile even more; read the Pattaya forums on this site so you know price-levels and obvious things to do and don't. If a Thai man approaches you and presents you with a unique oportunity to buy cheaply gold, jewelry, gems, suits, ties, theatre tickets, boat rides, jet-ski or scooter or motorcycle rentals, hotel rooms, . . . or procure you the services of Thai women: smile and walk on, you are seconds away from being scammed. Stay far away from any kind of illegal drugs. Very recently the Thai Court of Appeal confirmed a 50 year jail sentence for an Englishman who was found carrying drugs (200 tablets of extasy). His Aussie friend in whose apartment 61 tablets were found, got two life sentences. ([url]https://www.stickboybangkok.com/news/appeal-court-uphold-english-drug-dealers-50-year-sentence[/url])

[QUOTE=Ricflairt;1932643]5. Last time I found really beautiful receptionists there how to hook up with them?[/QUOTE]Bad idea unless you really intend to make her your long-time girlfriend. If she is really beautiful she will get everyday a baker's dozen proposals to go on a date with horny hotel guests. Any classy hotel will have rules on "fraternizing with guests" (read: it is forbidden). If it is your intention to get free sex from beautiful receptionsts, you are in for a big disappointment.
