I just come back from dinner at the Oriental hotel in Bangkok.

350ml water (EVIAN) 300 baht plus plus.

what are you guys complaining. 80 baht for a bottle of water?

shame on you!!

Go to every go go bar in town and you pay 150 baht for a glass of water filled with ice.
Go to Mc. Donalds and pay 40 baht for a large coke filled up with ice cubes.
Go back to Mc.Donalds and go back to America and complain about the price of a coke in a fast food restaurant.

You guys have no style to slender a new resaurant the way you guys do.
Shame on you and if I was the owner of that restaurant i would sue you for defamation !!

Get yourself together girls..

Unfortunately, too many people who like to post comments about restaurants in Pattaya know so little about food or wine that they resort to complaining about paying too much for things like water. These people seem to know the price of everything, but the value of nothing. They don't realize that a restaurant which keeps its price of food relatively cheap may have to make up for that price by charging more for things like beverages, including water. Instead of charging 300 baht for the main course, they charge 250 for food and make the 50 back on the beverage. It's the total bill that counts when you start comparing quality and prices of everything, not just what you drank.

fot that they are famous on that Gay-Thailand forum.
See some of their restaurant reviews if you like to have a laugh.

I am always amazed when I read comments by Thailand expats complaining about paying too much for a meal and a beverage that, put together, costs a fraction of what it would be in the USA or Europe. If you look at that GT thread linked by Lucas, you'll see that the meal cost 390 baht, which is barely over $12, but a guy who got a free dinner from a charity lottery, went crazy over paying $2 for bottled water. Give me a break ! The tip for a decent meal in most big US cities is more than what you Pattaya expats pay for a whole dinner, including the water and tip !

So is the parking lot charge.

Hehehe....

All that you turkeys have to say is baloney. Don't try to compare USA and Thai prices. We are in Thailand and you should only compare prices of Thai restaurants. The old the "Fuck the Farang" syndrome should not be justified.

What about the 'Fuck the Old Farang' syndrome? Isn't that Pattaya's national anthem?

Thank you newbie for your kind remarks.

I am sure that the owner of the Gay Thailand forum( mister Richy Rich) doesn't mind to pay 80 baht for a bottle of water

Its just the employees who can't afford.

Did you notice that the day after bitching about a three-course meal that cost 390 bahts, because the bottled water was extra at 80 bahts, Gaybutton was hawking a four-course "gourmet" dinner at another place for 1550 bahts, which is four times more expensive.

The same dinner with wine, is listed at 3350 bahts. The wines are by Cackle Berry, which retail on the internet for $6.50 ( 200 Bahts) a bottle.

So if you drank 4 glasses of wine with dinner, one with each course, you would be paying 450 Bahts for a glass that costs 200 bahts a bottle, plus 390 Bahts for every food course. If you think that's good value, go for it. It's your money. What I'd like to know is how can someone publicize that kind of dinner and prices the day after bitching he'd never go back to another place because he was charged 80 baht for bottled water. You can't have to both ways.

I think G.B. is a good friend of Pascal.
I don't know why G.B. promotes Pascale so often. I find the food at Monto-Christo much better and a lot cheaper. If you realy like to discuss overprized restaurants do for sure not forget to mention Pacale and the Poisidon. Last Christmas eve I met G.B. at the Poseidon during the Christmas eve buffet.
We had a nice chat together. I agree with most of the posters that he isn't a gourmet.
But once again we had a nice and friendly chat.
Its hard to understand that he is giving this Monto-Christo restaurant such a hard time.

LOL You must be a sad lonely old man (or a middle class prissy queen) to keep taking swipes at me and GB. If you are not able to afford the mental health assistance you need, I'd be happy to point you to a charity that can give you the attention you need.

I am not so sure if I am that lonley.
But lonleyness isn't the reason while I keep taking swipes on you or at G.B.
My question is,do you think its fair to slender a new restaurant in such a way as you are allowing on your forum ?
I think its not fair and if you read the replies in this topic I am not the only one who dislike the restaurant review which has been posted on your message board.

I think it fair to SLENDER anything. Lord knows I have been trying to SLENDER down for ages.

If you have a problem with a review on another site, do you think it fair to debate it there? Or is it just better to take jabs at the moderators here? Never mind, I know the answer to my question already.

[Franco]

Never mind, I know the answer to my question already.

and that is ??? hehehe !

would you like to inform us what you mean ?

What is not fair?

please explain. I am always happy to lissen to rich and intelligent people( such as you appear to be) Maybe you are right and I am not fair and maybe indeed I am a lonely sissy..
But maybe I am not and maybe I have more brains then all of you posters on your forum together.
Could be, could not be,but please explain.
Once again I don't think is fair to talk so bad about a restaurant as you mod(s) on you forum did.

[Gay Thailand]

I am always happy to lissen to rich and intelligent people( such as you appear to be)

Unfortunately I lost all my money in the recent financial meltdown and part of my money was lost in a Ponzi scheme. So I am not rich and I am sure you have more money in the bank than me. Being that I lost so much in such a fast time frame I would also have to remove myself from the intelligent list. Sorry, but I just fit neither description. And, if you think paying 300 baht for a haircut qualifies me as rich, I need to take you back to school to read the dictionary.

I am a lonely sissy..

That is OK with me. I like sissies.

But maybe I am not and maybe I have more brains then all of you posters on your forum together.

Can we judge this on your post here? Lets include spelling, punctuation, proper grammar and capitalization. Just by these things alone I would have to say the your statement is no where near the truth.

Once again I don't think is fair to talk so bad about a restaurant as you mod(s) on you forum did.

Not fair to talk bad about a restaurant but it is about another person? Is that correct? Interesting. Very interesting.

Thanks for replying to my post and questions.

Thanks for replying to my post and questions.

May I ask what happen to the rest of your response with you talking about getting head from Nalac?

[Franco]

Yes you may but I need some time to find out.
I will let you know soon.

[pattayaloverforyou]

One of my favorite restaurants in Pattaya ever is the restaurant located in the Flamingo hotel.
If I remember well the name of that restaurant is, van Gogh or something like that.
Or was it Rembrandt or Bruegel or Rubens or was it Picasso.
As I am informed well this Monto-Christo restaurant is located in the old Bordeaux restaurant.
How much they charge for a glass of house wine ?

What have aussie dolars to do with the fact that the water is to expensive at the Monto-Christo restaurant ?

Self-made millionaires don't worry about the price of water...anywhere.

Yes I have to agree with Loeploh that Gay Thailand brags a lot about himself.
Going first class to the movies,flying himself in from Brazil to attend his b.f. birthday,getting 300 baht haircuts, his platinum millage card,sending his b.f. to university in the states, bringing him to the most expensive hospital in Bkk,buying lady boys for his b.f. so the b.f. can be happy, inviting 10 boy friends of the delighted for having a birthday bash( bowling and karaoke party including 10 bottles of blue label)

I think I am just jealous because I cannot afford to threat my b.f. so good.
If I would have the money like G.T , I would buy my b.f. a new motorbike.
His is already 10 years old and the brakes don't work so good.
