I second the vote on a nice article. I'd like to visit too

Like you, I visit this place a couple of times a year, just for the laksa and the ondeh-ondeh. The laksa I like to pimp-up a little. I take 2 bowls, remove the saran wrap and combine into one bigger bowl (you can find them under the counter). I then go steal some more taugeh from the pad thai...

Tatami comes in a standard size called a jou. Rooms in Japan are measured in jou (s). Maybe you are thinking of a pad made from igusa - that's the material tatami is made from.

Longest road I think is Road #1 or Phahonyothin Rd - you can drive on this road from Bangkok to Chiang Rai. Although I agree that Sukhumvit Rd is pretty long too. I drove back from Pattaya last month, along Sukhumvit Road and not the motorway, and stopped at Wang Mook (วังมุข). Nice seafood...

Watched the royal cremation on TV and was surprised several countries either did not show up or sent lower ranking representatives. I fell asleep during the Thai Air Force concert Interesting was representation from ASEAN and other big trading partners of Thailand: Good: Cambodia sent its PM...

Enjoy the stay. The hotel is closing soon to be redeveloped. Such a shame, this was where all the foreign reporters stayed in during the Vietnam War. Also was ground zero during the Yellow shirt-Red shirt riots.

Thanks for the report. I was there recently too. Nice thing about the new Silver Kris lounge is finally, there are toilets. The old one near the A gates had none and you had to walk outside. Unfortunately still no showers though and it closes at 10:30pm (or sometime around that) You should also...

Any suggestions where next inside Thailand for few nights? I've already been to all the obvious places. I'm thinking Koh Chang or perhaps one of the Kanchanaburi floating hotels

Back from my trip to Hua Hin. Summary: not bad just to relax and chill; stayed at HH center right by beach. Did one touristy thing for the day, and then spent rest of time chilling in cabana by beach (my hotel had a wireless device with a button. press it and a server would come to take your...

Thanks. I'm staying close to the town area. Cicada is closed as it is a weekday. I have a car so will check out some places.

Getting to Ramintra area always seems a challenge unless late at night. I later went to Creek and Saengjan - you may know them too. I'm leaving this weekend unfortunately

@YinYang On the bus to HH now. What are must sees and must eats? Coincidentally was at Tawandaeng too 2 days ago but the one at Ramintra.

Early June - going to Hua Hin. Less than you of course but I'm in TH 4x-6x a year. Last trip was in Feb - went to Phuket. I've been reading sporadically off and on especially your posts. Thank you so much for keeping the flag flying while our friend was away. If you are around in BKK early June...

I'm late to the party but welcome back Froggy. This subforum was never the same without you. Looking forward to many more great food/travel/life posts from you

RIP. It'll be interesting to see what happens next. I'm headed there next week.

It is a pretty unique situation if one needs Tai Yai translation. Most Shan people (at least the ones at the border Tachilek all the way up to Keng Tung) can understand rudimentary Thai as they get and watch a lot of Thai TV. From my exposure to Tai Yai language (and I've had some) - it is...

Pee, in this context, means ghost. He was asking if your room was haunted. I wish I had 20s legs too to be honest :D

Re: A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand ? Feasible? I've found you can find hawker centres, as in non-aircon stalls grouped together in a common area with facilities, near areas with a lot of office buildings. e.g. Silom has at least one I know of that looks very similar to your...

Re: A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand ? Feasible? Has it already been 10 years? That's a long time away from home!

Re: A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand ? Feasible? tonychat and narong are right. Can take SRT train too. Soon in the future can take BTS - they are extending line - you can see the construction right beside the tollway. Made a mistake upthread - it is the A2 bus that goes to Victory...
