My ex-staff birthday today. Nowadays, not much money so just bought a THB 300 Lotus gift card as birthday present.
Quite like the gift card as compared to those traditional gift vouchers. This gift card is credit card size so can just keep inside wallet.

Currently am the only male tenant staying in a "females only" apartment (Hor Park Ying). Was a normal apartment until 6 month ago, landlord changed the apartment to Female only Apartment after angmos tenants create so much problems. Landlord also don't accept Gatoey. Strictly follow what ID card print. Mean male friends above 12 cannot come to drink at my room. 555.

Let's hope the landlord renew the lease when it expire cos really like this place.
Common corridor. Clean and quiet.

Big balcony. Only the corner units on each floor has balconies. Neighbors like to come here to drink beer and eat suki when they are not working.

Bed Room and seperate kitchen.

Partial seaview and very very windy at times.

Latest hot topic is "Non Guinea" which means Guinea worm. Foreign species now spread to many parts of Thailand. Cannot cut cos will multiply. 2 ways to kill the worm, by salt or by boiling water.

Cannot find this in cities. Even Pattaya also no have. This is Nuu Naa Yang which means BBQ Rice field mouse. This is common sight in the rice fields in the north and northeast. These field mouse are quite selective and will only feed on the best grains and thats why the meat of field mice very aroi. And best of all, its free.

Eat with Khao Niow and Nam Jeem. No prize for guessing this pics are taken from which part of Thailand

Closed up

Yeah.. More sugar on all Thai food. And more fat Thai Ass.

Thai women second fattest in Asia, according to Thai Diabetes Association

The president of the Diabetes Association of Thailand shed light on the obesity problem in the country by announcing that Thai women are the second most obese group of women in Asia.



Dr. Wannee Nithiyanan said that only Malaysian women are more overweight than Thais. She blamed poor diet and insufficient exercise as the cause of the problem, Daily News reported.

She said that 8,000 Thais die each year from diabetes. Figures show that, in the five years from 2009 to 2014, the number of diabetic individuals in Thailand has increased from from 3.3 to 4.8 million, and 7.7 million other people are currently at risk for developing diabetes.

Without giving statistics on female patients, she said diabetes is more prevalent in Thai women than men.


Nevertheless, a recent campaign called “Woman and Diabetes: Our Right to a Healthy Future,” by the Department of Disease Control, raised awareness of the rise of diabetic females in Thailand. According to Dr. Suwanchai Wattanayingchareonchai, the department’s director-general, nearly half of Thai women are overweight.

He added that diabetes is also the second leading cause of death of Thai women.

Love these hand wash carwash shops opens 7am for people to wash vehicle before go work.

Fast service and clean. Wash outside, clean inside and vacuum for a normal sedan only $5 for bigger sedan or pickup truck like this only $5.80.

With an army of Burmese once they start the spray till they hand over is like 10-15 mins

Come here every week for professional job rather than let my maid do a half pass six job and wasting time and energy

Thai Baht at 30 month high
The currency has hit 32.95 per US dollar and could get even stronger as the dollar weakens,
but the Bank of Thailand is adamant: No problem.

Investors target Silom-Sathon area for returns
Offices, schools and hospitals main draw

Condos in the Silom-Sathon area are the new targets for investors, with annual return on investment for rentals of 5%, according to property consultant Plus Property.

Plus Property's real estate survey found that prices in the Silom-Sathon area are rising due to land value and condominium projects.

The most recent price for land in the area was found to be 1.45 million baht per square wah, with condominiums commanding prices of 200,000-300,000 baht per square metre.

The area's location as a business district, surrounded by offices of leading companies, famous schools, hospitals and government offices, has attracted both Thai and foreign buyers, homeowners and investors alike, with the rental market generating 5% annual return on investment, and the average resale prices rising 7% a year for the past five years.

Anukul Ratpitaksanti, Plus Property's managing director, said the survey identified the Silom-Sathon area as having high potential. Despite possessing limited land for development, the area is experiencing growth in condominiums, with a supply of 6,786 units available in the first half of 2017.

At present, the average price of Silom-Sathon condominiums is quite high because of limited land and continuous price increases, contributing to rising capital cost of investment for project development, according to the survey.

During the past three years, only five new projects were launched in the area, but these projects boasted average sales of up to 85% in the first six months of launch.

Property buyers comprise both Thai and foreign nationals, and include working professionals, parents of students studying nearby, local residents and investors.

Apart from the area being one of Bangkok's leading business centres with all the entailing amenities, it also has convenient transport links and easy access to top restaurants and shopping centres.

A condominium unit priced at 6.5 million baht can be rented out for 30,000 baht a month, providing an average 5% annual return on investment. The current average rental rates for Silom-Sathon condominiums located near mass transit lines is 700-1,000 baht per sq m.

For property purchased for resale, the survey found that during the past five years a one-bedroom unit commands a resale price of about 210,000 baht per sq m, while a two-bedroom unit has a resale price of about 200,000 baht per sq m.

Resale prices of projects have risen 7% per year since their launch, due in part to continuing increases in land prices, according to the survey.

The current land price in the area is 1.45 million baht per sq w, with the appraised price of land located on Sathon Road, especially near roads or mass transit lines, forecast to grow an average of 78% from 2008-19. Meanwhile, land prices on Silom Road are forecast to rise 53% during the same period.

"Although the Silom-Sathon area features convenient transport, including the BTS and the MRT, the number of mass transit users is growing every year, with information from BTS Group Holdings indicating BTS passengers growing an average of 3-10% per year," said Mr Anukul.

People working in this area want to live nearby to avoid growing congestion and cut travel costs. The area also has easy access to lifestyle venues, department stores and top restaurants, he said.
