Thonburi side also got high living what - Peninsula, Hilton and further down the river, the Anantara. Thonburi used to be real pain in the ass to get to center of city (see the daily jam on Saphan Taksin) but since they extended the BTS deeper, I think it's a good place to hang. Your pictures...

This is okayu - Japanese porridge. Traditional Japanese breakfast is rice with grilled fish, tsukemono (pickled vegetables) or maybe umeboshi (pickled plum) but nowadays, more and more people just eat bread or cereal. Most houses have a fish grill built-in as a shelf under their cooker hobs.

Sounds like a rock concert tour :D If you're flying out of KIX then make sure you get a good meal and a shower before you head to airport haha. KIX lounges are dire to put it mildly. TG has a lounge there, don't waste your time with ANA's lounge. While the TG lounge looks a little like the TG...

Enjoy your trip. Was there 2 weeks ago and Tokyo was hotter than two rats fucking in a wool sock. On your way back, the ANA lounge (at both HND and NRT) has counter-service curry rice and udon/soba. There are 2 ANA lounges at NRT (don't waste your time at the United Club). Haha both with...

Slight correction, there are 5 TG lounges (not counting the First class one) because pier C and E have 2 each: the Royal Orchid lounge and the Royal Silk lounge. They are opposite each other. The middle concourse one at D is not a general Star Alliance lounge; you need to be traveling in...

Rumours are that a military coup is imminent.

Is this a serious question? Cars in Thailand are not cheap due to hefty import taxes. Pricing is similar to Malaysia, perhaps 5% cheaper. The 650s would cost approx 30 million THB.

2G,3G, 3G+ and 4G LTE all have I don't buy my sim at the airport - always busy. Just buy at 7-11 - no wait. They all sell and have the same things as the airport shops have from the 3 largest telcos: AIS, DTAC and TRUE.

As a backup bring along a mobile hotspot, modem dongle or a phone that functions as a hotspot. You can buy SIMs at any 7-11 that are provisioned for data for 300B or less for a week and get roughly 4-5Mbps down (in a city area, not sure about Krabi). The one thing that I've learned is never...

amen brother. rock on.

Moo Ka Ta delivery. For 400B, they come to your house, along with meat, vegetables, soup stock and free bottle of Coke.

Unfortunately no. Left last week. Next time OK - I travel a lot too so I totally understand. On my way home, I noticed plane was showing a Singapore movie "Already Famous" starring Michelle Chong. Very rare to see a Singapore movie - too bad I did not watch. Hibiki 17 sells for around...

joe, had a good laugh over the contrast between the sexy server and the background of the TV showing the daily 6pm (or was it 8pm) "Lau General" broadcast. That guy takes over all the channels

Sumiko Tan's column in Sunday Times yesterday mentions a Bangkok food tour she went on recently. Too bad she misspelled "Bangrat" [sic] - she should fact check before name dropping wantonly (pun haha).

The desert is gulab jamun. SQ appears hands down better than TG but I've only flown TG and have never flown SQ Taxi update from airports from recent visit. As discussed earlier, I almost always take a cab from the departures level of either DMK or BKK. Only time I go to the official taxi rank...

Thanks - you as always are the best person to know. Missed you the last couple of times. Hope all is fine and well. So Bangna Trad == Road "3" == Sukhumvit? Is there an elevated "expressway" portion of Road "3"? Road "7" is the "motorway"? Will be in your area next week.

Anybody know the answer: What's the difference in terms of time/distance/convenience between the tollway (I think this is Road 3 - Is this also called Bangna Trad?) or the motorway ("7") from Bangkok to Pattaya? I looked at Google Maps and there appears 7 is faster but the difference isn't all...

You've me confused with YY :D Won't be able to test this out on next trip cos I'll be taking the bus instead

They don't allow taxis to wait or pickup? Since when? since the coup? They put in the turnstiles one year ago and even then I had no problem getting taxis on the 4th floor. The turnstiles have a gap that if you align the turnstiles in a "X" pattern, you can go through with bags. The cab drivers...

I don't think I recall ever being egregiously overcharged from the airport. If you take the taxi from the official taxi rank, they have to use the meter. If they don't then get out. If the meter is already running before you start journey, get out. I don't take a taxi from the taxi rank but...
