My work went about the same as yesterday: 5 hours, 2000 lines... half a day.
For dinner, it was out to Captain's Corner all you can eat 350 baht steak buffet. Captain's Corner is on Thappraya Road (the road that runs over the hill between Pattaya and Jomtien... hop on any baht bus going to Jomtien, and you go on Thappraya Road). It is about 300 meters up from the intersection of Thappraya and Third Road (where the overpass is) on the left side with a brick wall in front of it to block out traffic.
It's a fine meal if you like steak... just steak... and only steak. They have a buffet of Thai food and a small salad bar but really: Steak, only steak. The selection of steaks is fair, and they are cooked pretty well. However, if you want a side of vegetables, or gravy — although I didn't ask, so I can't say for sure — they aren't to be found. (They did have baked potatoes and corn on the cob though.)
The decor is really nice, being an outdoor restaurant in a courtyard with some nice plant life, some sculptures, fountains, a nearby swimming pool, and the staff was better than average.
After dinner, it was back to Stan's house where we watched the first half of the 3-hour BBC miniseries from 1958 called Quatermass And The Pit, which is a sci-fi thriller about finding a 5-million-year-old spaceship buried under London. Stan first watched it when he was 6 or 7 years old, and described it as the scariest thing he had ever seen, and claimed that he had watched most of it "while hiding behind the settee" in his living room. I don't think it is a scary movie for grownups, but the story is great... really great. I'm looking forward to watching the second half.
