That SQ lounge is the best in BKK. I also whack the ondeh2 and kueh lapis until they have to top up many times. Laksa not every time have so heng if I find it. I wonder if they have retained their staff. I always say hello to the guy John. The EVA lounge is a close second.

Get well soon bro.

I’m not a doctor so FWIW, but look into PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) using Truvada and Doxycycline. Supposedly cuts down risk of transmission dramatically. There is on-demand dosing and also post exposure dosing. Truvada is available very cheaply in generic form in Thailand but you need a...

Stay safe in BKK, Khun Froggy and Khun YinYang. You’re probably vacc’ed up by now but still be careful ya. Hopefully Thailand will open up in Oct as planned and I’d be privileged to buy you both a meal again.

Good luck with your future plans to enter the Kingdom then. Looking forward to read your adventures and thanks for posting all the news snippets.

Are you in Thailand now? Congratulations on getting in. Great if you can continue reporting before and after Covid effects. Thanks

why do you believe the numbers are not real? Why are the Thailand infection and death numbers comparatively so low? The infection numbers can be skewed by low number of tests performed but you can’t hide deaths (presumptive or tested infected). The hospitals also don’t seem to be inundated. Is...

Yes brand new Royal Orchid at D4. 5am-2am. opened oct 2019. Has bunch of manager types walking around smiling, saying hello and answering questions. Bar area, chefs prepping fresh pasta and pad Thai a la carte, 5 shower rooms, ice cream. nice. Looks like TGs next gen lounge concept. On the...

Too bad, just missed you bud. Did you also try to new TG lounge at D4?

Doesnt the Miracle lounge at D gates have the outdoor smoking section in between the 2 building sections. Did you see it and confirm that that too is closed? The smoking section is actually not inside the building but you need to know how to find it

For you especially, this remains the last place left to smoke after immigration :)

Same with Chinese names. Given names have meaning. Surnames, no. The Thai Chinese surnames, like Indo-Chinese, were localized in order to integrate. Most Thais also have nicknames given to them by parents. Some change it later in life. The nicknames are more commonly used instead of given names...

I still owe you dinner

I have a Surface Pro. I used to think it was fantastic from a pure portability POV 2 years ago but I don't use it much anymore since UL (ultrabooks) notebooks have caught up. I won't buy one today (I didn't buy mine anyways - work did) - instead I would get a Lenovo Carbon X1 (I use one) or a...

Happy CNY to all. Can someone PM me where is Chonburi? I hope he is well

Froggy. Heads up. TK opening up new lounge at D next to SQ. I heard opening next month. If you’ve been to IST, that TK lounge there is perhaps the best star alliance lounge. I like the food. I hope there will be doner kebabs, Turkish tea, and simit (bagels). All TK lounges I’ve tried have these...

Yes I know all different but same same. I’ve been to the Rama3 and Ramintra (hello Froggy!) one and 2 in Pattanakarn and several others upcountry. Upcountry no beer dam. But food nearly same same. People same same like (but no office parties upcountry is one difference). At the end, you need to...

Im going to assume that you are absolutely sure that the airport limousine bus is what you want. Because there are 4 other public transport options : JR NE’X, JR Sobu, Keisei local, Keisei Skyliner. First, forget about Expedia. Buy direct. If I take the bus, I buy the ticket on the airport...
