I rarely have krapow moosap (Thai basils minced pork) for breakfast but really ran out of idea what to have this morning



Mentioned somewhere before that krapow moosap is the most popular food in the whole of Thailand and can be eaten anytime of the day also it's cheap for a meal you have rice and pork and some vege in pork usually cost 30baht (1.20) but with egg can be 35baht ($1.40) so for Foodland's Took Lae Dee to charge 77baht ($3) without egg and 86baht ($3.40) with egg it's just too expensive. But seriously I think they cook the best krapow moosap.

How is the political situation in Bangkok?

Is it ok for a quick holiday? Know someone who wants to visit the touristy places like the Royal Palaces.

If I tell you it's ok this week next week may change. Anyway currently its very ok. If have doubt why not choose another Thai destination like Phuket and Samui etc.

For your friend who want to see the royal palace, now it's ok. But when there is a protest it will be seal off. Sorry for the confusing answer but its the truth. I must assure you that even if there is a big protest in Bangkok, it's just at the locality of the protest that has problem the rest of Bangkok its business as usual. We've gotten used to it.

Was in Bkk 3 weeks ago, business more than usual. Malls and touristy sites with normal crowds. You might even miss out seeing the rallies, unless you were in places like Asoke. Flights were 50% full (cut backs even).

And now with only main Lumpini site, you can't do any better.

Nowadays must ask about the political weather when going to BKK . It's something like Spore's haze which you want to avoid if possible.

Friend didn't make it to the Royal palaces the last time so want to have a look if it is quiet now. Personally have been to BKK many times but have never been to the Royal Palaces:smile:

Personally, have been living here for so many years and no idea where the Royal Palace and Temple are except for a general direction of where they are. I don't even know where the floating market is, never seen it before. Also never seen tigershow but had seen elephant show in Ayutthaya.

Have you taken the ferry? I prefer taking the ferry to reach the temples or palaces rather than taking a taxi. Take BTS to saphan taksin station. Bloody ferry is damn crowded though.
