KYP, you can check out this popular Lost Heaven Hunanese restaurant (with Burmese influence). Popular with "with it" and corporate crowd. Food was lost on me, but I especially liked the alfresco bar (good for pre dinner cocktails, or finger food/snappes) overlooking sights. Did this 2X, last Oct and year before in Shanghai on working trip

And we had to make commute from our (boring) Pudong hotel. Did the local KTV joint, omg .. 100+ rooms, got lost after taking a leak even.

Wasn't there some type of war between the prc and burmese shan? That's all i know about the tai yai or shan.
Yes they are the same stock. They are grouped under the tai (not thai) ppls and there's also an ethnic minority in china called the dai

Bro, this is your Little Dragon Bun shop. Look at the queue, goodness !
My colleague is a 東亞病夫....had a relapse just before we entered the Exhibition Hall. I wanted to play safe and now we're back in hotel to get him some rest. It's sickness known as 自律性神經失調. I don't know the English name. Symptoms include breathlessness, numbness of the limbs, dizziness etc.
On the way back saw a nice chio bu in the train who looks 80% like this HK actress:
We didn't make it to the Little Dragon Bun because of the queue. Instead we went to the opposite restaurant, and he must have consumed something very salty that caused the discomfort. Had him drink lots of water to drain away the salt. That fellow is a high cholesterol guy.

I believe your colleague has depression.
Bro, no signs of depression. In fact, quite a jovial chap.
But bringing him around, especially after a previous scare in Taipei when he was admitted by ambulance to National Taiwan University Hospital, is like carrying a time bomb with you whenever you travel.
Cannot survive la brother if only can speak ingreesh. However if you have a good lady friend all you need is teach her then she can be your translator. The short cut will be take over mind as I am thinking of changing.
Anyone can have depression and what you described seem to me like panic attack. If you google you can see bunch of things they say about this. Its nothing serious if seek attention. Most likely will be given Prozac (happy pill) for long term help. This is a common medication for mild depression and of course it helps for your friend to see a very good family doctor first and suggest this could be the problem and then get prescription. Depression is not like "siao lang" it happens to many people including myself and even my wife. Happens especially to people in business and under a lot of pressure or can even happen to people who are extremely free.
Yes, age 50 on the date of application. Not one day earlier. And the amount required is THB800K and a letter from the bank is needed during application plus during every annual extension.
Student option is easier and faster way but there are limitation. As for 'konnections' or 'shortcuts', these are 'double edge swords', use them only as last resort.
Yes, it's panic attack. But is afternoon I'm quite sure it was brought upon by some salty dish, just like the previous occasion @ Taipei when he had Korean soup and complained that it was too salty.
melzp, FYI, even foreigners on retirement visa still need to do 90 day reporting OFFICIALLY with the nearest Immigration Bureau or designated police station.
What's your colleague BP? Some people can get too Gan Jeong when in a crowded environment. Sometimes, old folk also kena and the usual remedy is to apply medicated oil.

No England still can survive in LOS, or at least in Sin City. Many Russians, Koreans and PRC do not speak a word of England and Thai are long term residents in Sin City. Just that, speaking the local languages will make life easier.
Hehehe. Thanks for the 'I BA' and the mugs.

I asked him. He couldn't recall the exact figure. But he told me the last time he had it measured was about 2 months' ago, and it was normal according to the doctor. But you're right that he gets pretty apprehensive when in a crowded, especially a new environment very foreign to him.
Bro, a bit fleshy leh.
