    Very nice Froggy. This is exactly why I visit this forum and this subforum only. You made me feel like I was there and despite 2 decades+ of travel to Thailand including working there for a while, I've never been to Isaan

    A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

    There are 2 types. There are many from ban nok, went to some Rajabhat uni, and suddenly become "Bangkok big city girl". Those very hard to adapt to new things or new food and always complain about non-Thai food as "jeud" Then there are those which grew up in BKK upper middle class, went to...

    This all zhabor driver also same, whole world over. Rear view camera, lane change warning, blind spot warning, auto brake assist etc were invented by zhabor engineers specifically for zhabor drivers. The one male invention is Waymo/Uber/Tesla all trying to perfect driverless cars so we don't...

    A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

    My FB feed has the same "viral" stuff you post. Scary how much power FB has - I see many Thais get all their news from FB only. While I think this is just a rigged joke (like many things on FB), the PRND letters on auto transmission boxes is just stupid - they should just use symbols - and is...

    This is Thailand - you should never need to DIY anything. Somebody will take care of your every need ;) Was Charoen Kung ever the original Chinatown? The Bangrak area appears full of diamond, jade, precious stones salesguys emmigrated from the Indian subcontinent (They are Thais now). Too bad...

    A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

    Agreed that pad ka pao can be like the McD index for inflation. In Bangkok, roadside is around 45B (with khai dao), around 55-60 at a tam sang, 55-60B if a apartment cafe delivered to your room. In countryside hard to find 30B. Now is maybe 35-40B standard. Expensive compared to several years...

    I use the Priority line when I enter or leave. It's available at BKK and also DMK (at least entering, I'm sure about when leaving because I've not as yet flown international from DMK). You can use it if you're flying business class (many airlines, not all I think. With TG, you just use your...

    Korean Drum BBQ in Soi 14 is the place my Korean friends recommend. Korean-owned.

    I've always thought she was cute. Not a classic beauty but she has that something. Too bad she swings for the other side. More than half of my FB friends are gay (men and women) and are public about it. What is not usual though is that both don't look like a tom.

    The real challenge after that is to test if the Huawei is waterproof

    Your photos are amazing. I always thought of Silom 4 as ground-zero for the gay bar scene. I used to know 2 guys who worked there. Interestingly they are straight (both have since married and retired)

    Another I've been to a few times whenever I have visitors in town (I'm a visitor myself but my friends think I know the town) is Thipsamai Pad Thai near Wat Saket. Long line - not sure if it's worth the effort but visitors to Thailand always impressed by long lines. My opinion is it's a bit too...

    I ate at YokYor just a couple months back so they are definitely open. I've been several times over the years. It's very popular - there's 2 branches near each other on the same side. Only 1 has the cruise. You order off a menu and the boat takes off for an hour and a half up and down the river...
