    Avoiding the torturous locals

    Posted by JoeMall 27 June 2007

    Seriously, I was tortured by these people. Every step I took someone was trying to get cash off me, trying to recommend a rip-off place or trying to get me on a tuk tuk.

    When on the tuk tuk they take you to places you don't even want to go. Places supposedly closed etc, I found them a constant harassment.

    The final straw was when the local law student (who, incidentally, knew nothing about Thai law when asked) ended up being the same guy taking me to the airport. Needless to say, he didn't get a tip and was lucky to be paid.

    Cheesecake Factory

    Posted by JoeMall 30 April 2007

    Although a chain, the Cheesecake Factory is an absolute must for those who love all things American and want to steep themselves in the local culture e.g. huge portions, great food. The Cheesecake Factory is located in the Prudential centre so it's pretty central, the bar's good with a range of cocktails and I would recommend the Cobb salad, surely the largest salad in the world!
