No money no sugar
This is not about honey and Thai girls but sugar the real stuff that Thai love to put on food and drink in thousands of different sweet drinks.
It is not that Thailand is out of sugar in any way but the sugars traders want more money from the Commerce Ministry and are holding the sugar because they want a better price. So that might create a lack of sugar in Thailand.
Now we do not know if this is just media hype from the government to create a pressure on the traders or the other way around. Media hype about sugar shortages will off course make everyone go and run more sugar in Thailand.
Sugar is a big part of the Thai “healthy” diet and one of the things you see on the table on every Thai meal. Look at your Thai girl next time when she pours a few spoons of sugar down on the soup.
Let’s hope they can agree soon on the sugar price so we do not get any grumpy Thai girlfriends.

Why I do not like Thai markets
1. They create traffic jams when they arrive, when they leave and when open.
2. They leave the place in a mess.
3. They sell products that can be found in any shop to a cheaper price.
4. The food is old and not good for anybody.
5. They do not pay tax to the government.
6. They clog the water drains full with junk.
I am all for markets maybe once a month or weekly in the country side but why on earth do they have a market every second day in the middle of the town. They shops have pay tax, electric, water, garbage and aircon. They are also blocked every second day by this street vendors.
Some people might say it is part of the Thai charm with some street vendors and street food. Sure I agree but we have market and we have markets and the one that live near by tend to clean up after themselves. The people who come with cars just leave the trash behind.

So now its official, I found the worst pasta place in Thailand
When I am telling you that I rather buy pasta at Lotus for 49 THB you know how bad the food was.
I never said Pan Pan was a good Italian restaurant but I like the pizza bread and in Bangkok they had some standard.
But the new place in central festival is officially the worst pasta I eaten in Thailand and I am never going back.
Pizza Hut, Lotus, CP or any fast food restaurant makes better pasta then Pan Pan in Central festival in Pattaya on the beach road.
I was not alone to think the food was bad, the others that joined me did not finished the meals either and you can see other people leaving leftovers.
