Pattaya report Oct 2018

Clearly LatintopXXX can't spot sarcasm even when it's slapped on with a whitewash brush.

And weak at geography too, if he thinks Bali is in Thailand.

Thanks for the brilliant explanation, a447.

Actually, my explanation is more "brilliant" than your reply.

You need to get out more. You seem unaware that not all hotels cater to foreign tourists and hence, such hotels have no on-going need for English-speaking staff. The resort is in the middle of nowhere and caters mainly to local Thais.

On occasion a farang will stumble across it, or turn up with his Thai girlfriend. That's when his services come in handy.

He's there because he's a close relative of the owner. If you know anything about Asia, that in itself should tell you something.

Keep knocking yourself out, sglad!

The plot thickens. "His services come in handy" (what services I wonder - is this one of those 'full-service' resorts?) only when a farang stumbles in - he knows for a fact that no farang would "stumble in" when he's away shacking up with an old customer??...imagine that. What does he do? Announce on the hotel's FB page (in Thai & English) that he'll be away on such & such a date fucking this old farang so please don't come if you speak English? And how would "his services come in handy" if the farang stumbles in with his Thai girlfriend when there's no longer a language barrier as the gf can do all the talking? Threesome?

As a matter of fact I do know a thing or two about Asia and working in a family business. I worked in my grandparents noodle shop when I was in my teens and we (my siblings and I) were expected to work much harder than the regular staff so as to create a good example and not create resentment. No nepotism and no taking off for days on end to co-star in some geronto-porn flick, no matter how lucrative it could be.

You forgot to mention that he's also a co-owner of the resort and when he doesn't feel like getting up for work, he can just phone it in.

I've no idea. I've never been there. But it wouldn't surprise me.

Yep. I think he usually does. Apparently, most farang phone ahead to see if he's there, and if he's not going to be there to welcome them when they arrive, he suggests they go and stumble in somewhere else.

What does he do? Announce on the hotel's FB page (in Thai & English) that he'll be away on such & such a date fucking this old farang so please don't come if you speak English

Not that I know of. But I'll check with him.

And how would "his services come in handy" if the farang stumbles in with his Thai girlfriend when there's no longer a language barrier as the gf can do all the talking?

Apparently, not all Thai girls can speak English. Strange, but true. But I hear they are doing night courses.

As a matter of fact I do know a thing or two about Asia

Only two? That seems about right.

worked in my grandparents noodle shop when I was in my teens...

You must have a very long memory! I believe the area where the noodle shop was underwent redevelopment and they built the Old Parliament House where the shop once stood.

You forgot to mention that he's also a co-owner of the resort and when he doesn't feel like getting up for work, he can just phone it in.

Sorry. He's also a co-owner of the resort and when he doesn't feel like getting up for work, he can just phone it in.

Keep knocking yourself out, sglad!

Are you still practicing the "I'm a 25 year old Singaporean, a student in University in Chiang Mai?

In another post you reminded us that you have lots of knowledge about Thailand, and there's no doubt that you do, indeed. But why this 25 yr old guy Singapore schtick? Seriously, what's the point? What's wrong with being older white Westerner?

I never understood Beachlover's need to be dashing young hot guy on anonimous web board, same with you, what's the point, who do think is impressed by this bizarre role play?
You'll never be able show your photos, never truly show this board your young self, so why do it? Where is the satisfaction in this, how do you get off on this, I'm genuinely curious.
Everybody but you knows you are closer to 75, than 25. But keep going, if it fulfills some part of you, I just like to understand the pathology of it.

To understand it you must realize he is a very troubled individual as was Beachlover (who I doubt ever really left) their nature is that they laothe who they really are so assume the personna of someone they wish they were.

Farang guests "stumble upon" the resort and yet phone ahead to see if a sometime worker whom they somehow already know as the only one who speaks English is there? This doesn't make sense as one stumbles upon something by accident. And what kind of resort can afford to reject guests based on the language abilities of ONE member of staff and his whoring schedule?

If a farang shows up with his Thai girlfriend, presumably they are already able to communicate with one another in whatever language and the Thai girlfriend, surprise, surprise, should be able to speak to the resort staff in Thai.

The noodle and food shop is still in the same location at the bottom of a block of flats in Toa Payoh. My uncle has taken over the business.

It wasn't meant to.

For someone who purports to have worked in a noodle shop 50 or so years ago, you seem to have forgotten the golden rule about noodles.

Make sure they are well cooked before serving them.
