Why do you all keep calling it Penang curry? Wikipedia spells it as "Phanaeng". 'The etymology of the word phanaeng is unknown, but it may derive from the Malay word panggang, meaning "grilled."' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phanaeng That is somewhat different to "Penang" which is the Malay name for the areca nut. "The name Penang comes from the modern Malay name Pulau Pinang which means 'areca nut island'." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penang inb4: if you think Wikipedia is full of it then cite credible academic sources or get off my lawn 🤣

Thanks for stepping in, I was lost to the Suk this evening 😅

That looks gross, give me a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese any old day of the week.

Before I attempt to answer that question would you mind looking at the attached info page from the Thai MFA and tell us which category you can under? Presumably it's the "Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme" but best to make sure. https://image.mfa.go.th/mfa/0/zE6021nSnu/เอกสาร/VOA.pdf

Nice little downpour here in Lumphini an hour or so ago, doesn't stink quite so much when I go outside the condo 👍

You have no choice but to clear Immigration in KUL, you cannot just "turn around and come back". Also, are you aware there is a new online arrival system for Malaysia? I don't have the link handy but will look it up if necessary.

Much more interesting than any of your posts, plus he puts up YouTube videos with a whole bunch of old-timey stuff that I've never heard of before. A few days ago he posted an old ad for Hefty bags which was most amusing. GG will hopefully understand why I refer to it now.

Yes.

Here, this is how you do it... https://quran.com/47/4?translations=21,85,95,17,18,19,20,22,84,101

It's also got a Celeron processor. "Googen" says that they are mai dee 😅

Never. I no longer find it appealing and I can't stomach chillies. I know that there are many dishes that are not chilli-laden but I couldn't be bothered ferreting them out. I do like the look of that Chiang Mai restaurant though, might have to trek up there from "KTM" one day to try it.

Most people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder are.

Bignok IS a ladyboy 🤣

Hoegaarden mate, like all the other Bangkok wannabe hi-sos 😉

I don't follow. The soi was named as such long before whitey ever showed up.

Because the IO asked for it?

Hint: the typo in your first sentence changes the meaning somewhat.

Huh? Article is from "TT", not BP.

A lot of tourists don't want to pay bar prices, which is fair enough. They also like to buy cheap "travellers" from the Seven and then wander around the streets with the bottle in their hand like lo-sos 😉 PS. I used to do that when I was a backpacker. I was quite partial to the small cans of "Singha Draft". Of course, now that I'm older I frown upon such behaviour. Tsk tsk 😅

I found out recently that Thais don't say "Rama". The word is actually พระราม which Google Translate pronounces as "Phraram". I guess the Hoi polloi would say "Palam". I also found out that Sukhumvit is pronounced with a W sound and not a V sound. I was quite flabbergasted to find this out. What other tricks with the transcription of Thai names are they playing on us?

More fool you. But hey, continue to blame Thai Immigration and "BKB" (whatever that is) for your own failings.

Or your could go to Pattaya and get it done for half the price.

*Buakhao (บัวขาว) which means "white lotus".

I'm reliably informed by a Patpong BG that he's chillaxing in his country estate near Udon Thani and not in the Police General Hospital at all 😉
