Coffeshop at Malaysia Hotel Bangkok

Stayed in the Malaysia Hotel last weekend. First time I stay here and the hotel and it's reception staff is very nice and easy to bring in guests, BUT, be carefull with the coffeshop. I had stayed 3 weeks in Phuket before and not have any problems with my stomach. First evening in Bangkok I eat in the coffeshop and then I could feel my stomach was a little bit upset that night. Didn't think so much about, but my second evening I met a very nice guy in DJ Station. We went to my hotel and before we were going up to my room we decided to have something to eat (this is around 3 am in the morning) We had some noodlesoap in the coffeshop. Suddenly my friend cries out, he find a tissue in his soap. The waitress didn't took much notice, just bring it out to to kitchen. When I told here I was not going to pay for the food she insisted I should pay for my soap!!!!!! My friend told here something in thai and told me we could leave. In the night my stomach was really upset, even thou I hadn't eat much of the soap before the "accident" happened.

PS Fortunately it took some hours before my stomach "protested" about the noodlesoap so I had a very nice time with my friend, and he was deep asleep as thaiboys normally are when my problems started. In the morning I was ok again he hadn't noticed anything.

So, the hotel is nice and good value for money I would say but I dont think i will eat in the coffeshop again!

I have stayed there many times in the last 10 years and have never had any problems with the food and drink.
It may well be that you had a one-off experience. Nevertheles I am sorry you had the problem.

Anyway I shall be staying there for 5 days as usual in December

It's just as possible that you picked up a gastro-intestinal virus long before the soup and just happen to hit you that night. No way to really tell, unless you took the soup to a lab and had it cultured and tested and I am sure no one does that. So, my point is why post a report on it?

I would rather hear what you did with the boy from DJ or where you went and what you did on your trip to Thailand.

I would not recommend eating soap anywhere!

Your "point" is not only wrong, but pointless. It is far more likely (though not proven) that the relatively minor problems Clipper had were due to Staphylococcus from soup which was obviously contaminated, and relatively fast-acting and minor, rather than any "gastro-intestinal virus" resulting from Salmonella or Botulinum which you apparently refer to. His point was valid, very fairly made, and a balanced comment from personal experience - a pity that you seldom apply the same criteria to your posts.

You are so damn impressive GF - You are a trained social scientist capable of offering insightful analysis of papers exploring gay and lesbian identity(as evidenced by your posts in a previous thread), a shop keeper and now a trained physician specializing in GI tract disorders. I suggest your own TV show ala the American Drama House, where you demonstrate your superior diagnostic skills to save others from certain death. Damn... you soooo smart.

I have also stayed at the Malaysia hotel quite a few times over the years. I have never had any problems but who knows maybe you got a bad batch of soup broth. Part of the reason I like staying at the Malaysia is the coffee shop. If I am suffering from jet lag it is always interesting to go down to the coffee shop at the odd hour and check out the boys trying to pick someone up.

Speed up with the tea trolley, Pissyboy.

I'm not sure he's so smart, Kitty. The truly erudite are seldom so abrasive and tend to refrain from belittling others. I guess that is one way to distinguish the knowledgeable from the wise.

almost 20 years staying there - never had a problem.

That is not a very smart reply. Damn... I want your usual point by point rebuttal. I am disapointed in you.

Wow this is fantastic, i will never consult a doctor again, just describe my sympthoms here and will be told whats wrong with me !!!!!

Anyway, fact is, there was a tissue in my friends soap, that suggests something is not correct in the kitchen, no matter how my stomach behaved afterwards. The staff was not very helpfull to solve the problem. They didn't offer any compensation and they wanted me to pay for the meal. I think thats is reason good as any to mention it here. Isn't that the whole idea of having a forum that we share our experiences, bad or good?

By the way, my straight friends often tells me how friendly the gayworld seems to be, with friends everywhere and the good atmosphere in any gayplace. Well, obviously they never looked in this forum, it took aorund 2 replies and then the first stone was thrown again ????!!!!

You are so damn impressive GF I've always assumed Hedda (aka. Gone Fishing) was a doctor
The truly erudite are seldom so abrasive and tend to refrain from belittling othersAnd on what are you basing this extraordinary generalisation - not a staff common room at a university, I'll bet?

Ye think?

[dab69]

just thinking what you might get from one of the late night boys there.

Hedda was a lawyer, isn't that obvious? GF is a troll that is best ignored or just don't respond to him. I don't think Hedda=GF.

GF is a troll that is best ignored GF is on my {Ignore} list - I was responding to kittyboy

[giggsy]

Was it chicken noodle soup? if it was then perhaps the last thing to use the tissue was the chicken!! oh my god that means it had bird flu!!!

and a little known fact is that the Malaysia hotel used to be the local abattoir. I stayed there once. The view was offal, just offal

I've always assumed Hedda (aka. Gone Fishing) was a doctor
Doctor of Proctology?

Well spotted, cnx4shan! As I have said, when asked I always used to say I was a forensic proctologist; there are enough specimens and case studies here alone to tie up the scientific community for years!

... and Clipper, finding a tissue in your soup in a hotel often used by those posting here was a perfectly good reason to post about it here and TE's post was, as usual, totally unnecessary.

Offally good comment, giggsy!

[giggsy]

SOAP not soup Yes maybe the chicken forgot to use the soap after blowing his beak

i was reading between the lines. i presume he meant soup.why would the waiter bring him soap?made out of noodles of all things?
now clipper has joined our board thats 3 people i cant understand 1. clipper - swedish 2.baziel - belgian 3. gra45 - whats your excuse?

[markie1]

You sure it was a tissue and not a tampon they might of thought you were a CUNT!!!!!!! just a joke LOL


LOLL that did make me laugh :bounce:

[Dick]

What I find surprising is that so many have admitted to actually staying at the Malaysia!
The risk of catching a sticky-shit stigma is surely the greater risk than any tummy upset.
