Now we've come to the part of the report where I can provide some oversight.

For instance, he managed to skip the part of the Le Bouchon meeting in which he was an hour and ten minutes late. While one would expect that he might treat me this way, he made Beth wait as well.

i expect my attorney to be able to read carefully....please re-read the section about the arrival at the restaurant....on second thought maybe i will send my 7 year old grandchild over to read it to you...he remembers what he reads...i guess maybe there was an ambulance driving by when you were reading this and you got very excited....more revenue??

As a result of Andy's and your reports, I have now removed two restaurants from my list for Bangkok in February - China House and Mahanaga. If you had to name your 3 Bangkok favorites (dinner only) on this last trip, what would they be? Note that I have already asked the Panda the same question so it will be interesting to see if your responses are similar.

Bob and K
Glad you enjoyed Platinum mall. I like it as well. But I wouldn't put it ahead of MBK on my list of great shopping haunts in BKK...

Have you ever been catty-corner from Platinum to the Pratunam Center mall? That's another MBK style place!

Where is the rest of the report?

bob

craig---we only had lunch there but shaz in the majestic grande hotel was a very nice setting and the food was very good...soi 2 sukhumvit, just down the soi past the jw marriott...

cy'an in the metropolitan...i liked it but not sure the others liked it as much as i did...

biscotti of course and for once it was not crazy busy...

harmonique continues to head our list...

i will elaborate more about china house next week....it might work for you but it was not at all good in my mind....the food was average i thought...the duck is now 1100B---that would feed four with additional dishes...see my report...

you might try the new hilton...

we had a res at the fri/sat nite seafood buffet at the conrad but had to cancel it....i will definately try it next time...

our two best meals were outside bkk...the fishing village south of jontiem beach and supatra at hua hin...

Enjoy your weekend.

Happy 40th

Congratulations on your 40th Wedding Anniversary, Bob & Karen. Have a wonderful weekend.
We await the continuation of your report on your return.

4oth!! What a bunch of youngsters you must have been on the big day!

So tell us all how you met.....

Happy Anniversary Bob and Karen!!

Really enjoying your trip report and so glad that you enjoyed the Pattaya Sheraton. When I suggested it to you I was not aware that you had FOS (fear of Sheratons) so I am glad you enjoyed:) It is a gorgeous hotel. Also glad you went to and enjoyed Casa Pascal.
Have fun and finish the report when you can.
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Pat

Bob and Karen,

Happy 40th! That's a nice milestone to reach. DH and I had our 41st a few months ago. Enjoy whatever it is you are doing "special" for the big day!! You didn't say where you were heading. Hope it was lovely.

Wow, 40 years is very impressive. I choose to conclude that frequent worldwide travel is most beneficial to one's health and the health of one's relationship...

If he doesn't pick this up soon, we'll just complete it for him with appropriate pool and food references.

Classic Gpanda, LOL
