Re: 1st Miss Universe Myanmar in 53 years How's the jet lag. What new insights did you gain from your trip? Europe vs Asia

Re: 1st Miss Universe Myanmar in 53 years You machiam runroad to Europe. Longer than any vacation I've been on :D I take 5 days already boss kow-peh-kow-bu. Coming back or not?

Were you there when this happened? :D What did you do? I must admit, very creative :D Aiyah Singaporeans also like that sometimes (or many times) My philosophy is that if don't impact me, I don't care. Indians' problem is for Indian ambassador. S/he sure kena everytime kutuk when meet other...

How you doing bro? Baby on its way yet? Still living on the dark side? I was just at the dark side visiting a friend. Even there, got beer bar (apparently Pattaya #1 business) and fitness center (apparently Pattaya #2 business) :D As you know, Fung Pla Pow just across the road from me so I go...

Re: slice of thai mango 17/9 I usually don't drink in Thailand because I cannot really stand pale lagers, but the last trip I decided to drink Thai beer. Not a lot, but more than a few. I was inspired by the some recent thread here on Thai beer. My main source was Family Mart :) So over a...

You - pen yang ngai baang? Must be very busy. Wasn't even sure you were in Pattaya so didn't call. I didn't pick the place so I didn't know what to expect. Looked really nice and it didn't seem super expensive. Around 200-300B per dish, and the total bill came up to maybe 2300B with 3-4 small...

Sad to go home

Went to this restaurant - Rimpa Lapin - just south of Jomtien. Chonburifc will most probably know. Breathtakingly beautiful. My lousy camera phone does not do it justice so here's the website: Rimpa Lapin

I like street food. I have some combination of these most days. Clockwise from top left: Yam Naem, which you wrap in green leaves (bai cha pu). Kind of a sour, spicy salad Moo and Kai ping. Grilled satay. Khao Niao. Sticky rice sold in plastic bags Moo (or in this case Nuea) Dat Deow...

Hotel between Ratchadamri and Lang Suan

Last week in BKK. Nice thing about arriving late or early: empty airport.

Didn't know there was one in Singapore :) I've passed this place a couple of times. It's on Sukumvit 55 on the left as you drive from petchburi. Smack in the middle of Thonglor. The black umbrellas with their logo in front. It's been open for a while. At least the last couple of months...

joetys, NH lounge in Narita near 50s gate.

Shop this old should be called shinise not omise. Shinise is an shop that has an old traditional heritage. Like Yamasa soy sauce. Like existing since Edo period (i.e. mid 19th century) - that's definitely shinise. Omise is shop but like I said, there are many shops in Japan that do one thing...

Time tight still can appreciate some unique things about Tokyo. The beauty for me is to spot the differences in places I go to. 1) There are more than 1 rail company operating the metro network. You can often walk long distances totally underground from one station to another. 2) every station...

Re: Rubber standoff, and investors knee jerk reaction? Tolls increase just kicked in Sept 1. 5 baht increase, making the tolls from BKK now 50B and 30B into Sukhumvit

Since you@Ginza and are busy, here are some things to do at Ginza that are unique to the area. All of which can be seen or done quickly. 1) Ginza has lots of omise. While this means "shop", it also means an old, long-established shop. Meaning in business for > 50, some > 100 years; specializing...

On your return, not sure if you are flying from HND or NRT. If NRT, and you're flying TG, there are 2 lounge options: United (UA) Red Carpet Club and ANA's (NH) lounge. NH has 2 lounges in Terminal 1 South Wing (where) - one by the 50s gates and one by the 40s gates. It's a 10 minute walk from...

Tuna (maguro) is is basically mainly akami (lean/red), chutoro (pink, more fatty) and otoro (most fatty). If you don't mind getting up early, you can do some sightseing away from your colleagues and yet still make your meetings. If you are staying in central Tokyo, in or around the Tokyo...

Since you like cars and you drive a Toyota product in particular, you should go to the Toyota Car museum in Odaiba. Odaiba is a man-made island very close to Ginza. You can take a monorail (called Yurikamome) there from Shimbashi for example. Museum is free. Should be maguro instead. Your...
