I stayed in a couple of hotels in Thailand last year which catered for coach loads of Chinese tourists.Not quite as bad as that video but I've never seen such greed, bad-manners, rudeness and wastefulness from any other group of people anywhere!

Appalling.
Yes, the Chinese mainlanders are the worst.

What is it about buffets that gets us blokes all excited?
I hate social events but if I'm told there's going to be a buffet I'm all "FREE FOOD?! WHAT TIME DO I NEED TO BE THERE?"
Good question! I hate social events but if I'm told there's going to be a buffet I'm all "FREE FOOD?! WHAT TIME DO I NEED TO BE THERE?"
I love being able to have lots of variety, portion control I struggle with tho!
Sorry to hear about the hospital stay but great to hear you're getting properly fed. Pics please. Hope you get out soon buddy
That Chinese vid of the buffet in Thailand seems a bit turmped up!
I'm travelling there tomorrow so will see what the vibe is, hoping for tasty things... any suggested tactics greatly received
Never scrambled egg. No way that mush has been set up fresh that am. More likely a packet.
Always fresh fried eggs, the ones left out to warm, you can bounce back like a basket ball.
Toast is difficult though letting it go cold first prevents the fire alarms at a second toasting, you know, to actually make it toast.
Anything else such as scent sausages is a bonus. Oh, and black pudding you can use to chock a jumbo with, smother in beans and tomatoes. Yum.
Oh, and the fruit, I have heard stories how it is peeled,it does not involved dusky maidens.

It generally involves a mechanical peeler or a bloke from Poland. I've been in one of the factories. One near Selby, one Corby, that I know of. Bloody boring places, nothing to interest me. (I'm a process guy).{

I'm assuming the nice lady has gone to fetch a large pot of something approximating coffee. If the coffee is self-serve, stick the biggest mug under the machine and press the espresso button 8 times. Top off with a splash of real milk from the jug in the cereal area. Leave the cereal area quickly in case you feel pressured into eating cereal.
Orange juice next. Down 4-6 glasses (carefully calculated based on glass size and hangover intensity) before carrying another back to your table. Grab a yogurt on the way. Do not eat the yogurt.
Grab a plate. Do not warm the plate on the toast conveyor. It will get stuck at the back, cause a toast pile-up and eventually set off the fire alarm.
Black pudding and fried bread next. Maybe a few beans. Then more black pudding. Try a sausage, see if they taste like butcher or supermarket. Then decide whether to have more
sausage or more black pudding or both. Avoid the bacon. It's probably unsmoked, and we're not savages.
Rinse and repeat.
Return to your room when the chest pain becomes unmanageable. Watch BBC News until the morning poo is ready, or checkout time, whichever comes first.

Surely cereal is just a useless filler.
My ex girlfriend had one mate who used to make ham and cheese sandwiches for the families lunch at the breakfast buffet and sneak them out.
We used to do that when we went skiing. I remember one of the places I stayed near The 'Ring had a beautiful spread and he told us to make our lunches out of it too.My ex girlfriend had one mate who used to make ham and cheese sandwiches for the families lunch at the breakfast buffet and sneak them out.
