My pardner made some steamed chicken and a somtam last night . It was mostly left over and so served up again this evening, after a night in the fridge . I must admit it was not an appetising looking meal . I had a kind of hankering for something else , something to pit fire in my belly .

So I stepped into the mini kitchenette , that is our kitchen , reached in to the fridge , getting jammed between the door and the sink , and grabbed some pitta bread . I heated the pitta bread in a dry pan . I stepped back to the table . I sat back down to the meal and filled the pitta bread with the som tam and chicken meat . It was , you guessed it , yummy . I give all credit to my pardner for she is the chief in the kitchen .

Som Tam - garlic , chillis , pa la, tomatoes , green beans , papaya , fish sauce and fresh lime . Mashed up in the thingy .

Steamed Chicken - A whole fresh chicken chopped up still on the bone , chicken powder , salt , fine black pepper , fine white pepper . The chicken was seasoned and then steamed in a regular pot with a little water sitting on a plate on a steel frame . It was steamed for around 20 minutes .

I think it has to do with the subliminal messages KFC has been sending out .

I met my Thai girlfriend 2 weeks ago. I am in love. She told me her name. It is gimmemoney hansum-man.

Welcome gmh man.

I know this has been done to death on TV , but . Well , I would like to ask . Does your Thai partner know your name ?

I know my girlfriends real name and id number, we had an issue last year where the Thai passport office issued my lady with her first passport, and the translated name did not match the translated name on the id card.

My lady pointed it out to the Passport office and they said that the name they had allocated to her was the official name and she had to get her id card changed. I'll not identify my ladies name however the difference was very little, the id card had her name as Kam...., the Passport office had it as Kham...

This caused major problems, all major documentation had to be changed, including her drivers licence and University degree, ( yes she has one, no she's not Hi-So Chinese ). I think it took her about 5 weeks of arguing with every agency under the Sun to finally get everything to match.

So lo and behold!!!........I had booked us a few flights using her original id card, I was at Denpasar airport at Bali when the airline pointed out that her name on the ticket didn't match the passport name

It took me 45 minutes of arguing with different levels of management before they finally folded at let her board the aircraft. I can understand why there can be some variations in translating Thai script to Roman, I know there is not always a direct translation, I'm just pointing out a wee story that might be of use to others.

I have had a similar experience .

The people at the housebook office got my sons name wrong . It is a western name , Joseph , and they had it translated as Josep . My wife didnt notice . I am talking about the translation into Thai script . However, when I applied for my son to get a new passport from the Royal Thai Consulate in Hong Kong , they noticed . So my wife and son went back to the amphur and got the name in the housebook corrected . I collected my sons new passport about 6 weeks later and took it back to Thailand .

Be paranoid about your hands, that's the start of it. Carry an anti bac gel and always use before eating.

One thing that incences me is the amount of people that don't wash their hands after the wc. At a public wc as soon as you touch the door handle your picking up their filth. Thanks for that. I try to carry a tissue to get me out of the door without touching the handle.

So hand hygiene first, after that chart what foods are causing you movement, fruit, high oil content meals, and spicy food can cause havoc. No doubt others too. Chart what foods are running through you then once you have a pattern then at least you know why it's happening.

When your afflicted, Imodium is excellent, burnt toast too, you prob know about what to avoid eating such as dairy products etc, plus hydrating correctly.

Control what you can control, control your hand hygiene and food storage at home. Outwith that it's pot luck.

The oil will flush you out like a , ripped hydraulic hose .
