I had two groups of friends in town for the New Year's holiday, one a family group, the other a group of knob outs.
On the night of 30th Dec., three of the knob outs finished the night with a kebab from a street side stand on Walking Street. Two had their kebab topped off with one type of sauce and the third had a different sauce. The two guys with the same sauce spent the next 2 days in their rooms with diarrhoea and sickness and when they thought about what might of caused it they reckon it had to be the sauce. Not a particularly nice way to spend New Year's Eve particularly when you've travelled 7,000miles for a blow out. No pun intended.
The family group stayed in the Areca Lodge and attended the New Year's Eve Buffet and show. Madness not to when you're billed for it whether you attend or not. Three of the group fell sick with the same problems but in their case they put it down to the prawns at the buffet dinner. Not sure if they were old or not cleaned properly but they were adamant the prawns were to blame.
Is this just a coincidence or is food hygiene an issue in Pattaya? For sure the heat doesn't help and who knows how long the kebab sauce and prawns had been exposed to the elements. One thing's for sure, I'll be more careful with the food I buy to clear my beer goggles on the way home from a long night doing the bars. You have been warned.....

- There's a suggestion on the boards that the playing of music may be banned for the 15 day mourning period and anybody found not complying will be blacklisted. Yet another rumour. The authorities really need to state exactly what is and what isn't acceptable over the next 15 days so there are no 'misunderstandings'.
- On the 5th January, Pattaya Police was notified that a drunken man was wielding a gun and firing it in the soi next to Buffalo Bar, off Third Road. At the scene, officers found Torratan Tappan from Rayong in a very drunken state. He was carrying a loaded automatic handgun, most of the bullets had already been discharged into the air, but he also had 2 extra magazines in his jacket. He was arrested for endangering the public by carrying and firing a gun.

- The big buzz today around CNET offices in New York is the news that Warner Bros. Entertainment has decided to stop making HD DVD discs and will become a Blu-ray-only studio at the end of May. Needless to say, this is a major blow to the HD DVD camp, which earlier this year struck a deal with Paramount to go HD DVD exclusive. You could say this is a tit-for-tat move by Sony and the Blu-ray camp, but it's actually more of a clubbing because Warner has a much bigger library of movies than Paramount. [via Crave]

- A man was in his front yard mowing grass when his attractive blonde female neighbour came out of the ho
use and went straight to the mailbox. She opened it then slammed it shut and stormed back in the house. A little later she came out of her house again went to the mail box and again, opened it, slammed it shut again. Angrily, back into the house she went. As the man was getting ready to edge the lawn, here she came out again, marched to the mail box, opened it and then slammed it closed harder than ever. Puzzled by her actions the man asked her, 'Is something wrong?' To which she replied, 'There certainly is! My stupid computer keeps saying, You've got mail!'
