It's useless to get all worked up about this stuff.
Just watch the locals, if they do it, follow. If they don't, then don't.

In BKK I would start with IQ Lab.
There are other, cheaper, foreign options if you have a lot to do.

I lived in Phnom Penh for 6 years and never heard about fake name brand booze. (Unlike India where it's a huge problem.)
The difference is that there are no taxes applied at any point in it's journey to market, and the retailers sell at extremely low profit margins. One of my clients was a large beer manufacturer and when we would go out into the countryside to visit retailers the usual margin on a 24 bottle box of beer was 1000 riel. (25 cents US) This is pretty standard for all retailers there. (A Khmer friend of mine worked as an accountant for a Chinese electronics company. Average profit on a "ghetto blaster" type stereo - 2000 riels, or 50 cents US.)
Cambodian are incredibly adept at getting stuff into the market cheaply and quickly using local channels. In the 90s we would regularly get the new Beaujolais before it was even legally available in France, and at a cheaper price. (No, they were not making fake Beaujolais.)
A lot of the hard booze has spent time sitting in containers on the dock in Singapore.
I know of at least one very famous bar in BKK getting cheap designer booze through Cambodia back in the day.

See a doctor. Asking for medical advice online is a complete waste of time.
great idea ....then he will get 1/2 kilo of pills including antibiotics and antacids....guaranteed to give him the squitters....
Stomach upset and Hershy squirts are a fact of life here ..even the Thais get it...lots of remedies in liquid and powder form out there some work even...they say you should avoid dairy product with the squitters.
Of course if OTC remedies do not work within a short time you should see a doc and he or she will be more than happy to insert 1/2 metre 'scope into your land of darkness to check for Colitis or other horrid things
<deleted>? I've been going to <good> Thai doctors for 20+ years and have never been given "1/2 kilo of pills". Having a sore stomach in the morning is not normal and you have no clue whatsoever as to what is causing it.
If you have a persistent problem, see a doctor.

Someone should have just popped the stupid things and deflated the issue before it blew up.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there may be some exceptions to the straight forwardness.
For instance when getting a price quote at a flea market. If the merchant simply says พันสอง
he means 1200 not 1002.
That's common.
To say 1002 wouldn't they say "หนึ่งพันสอง"?

Soi Rangnam

I have never seen them used. They impart a very distinct flavour that isn't Thai whatsoever. In southern Indian cooking you see them all the time.

Have you looked at dry cabinets, like these?

ACDSee shows green over areas of 100% black, according to the instructions.
As I mentioned before.

It's just too heavy for the Thai palette IMO.
And the use of ghee would not be acceptable to the vast majority of Thai digestive systems.

More or less the same as Thai food in the USA.

I've lived in Alberta, but I don't recall it looking quite like that.

I use a 10Bar housing for my Lumix GF1, mainly for
, but it is rated to 60 meters. They are pretty good value considering the build quality. -
Not too worried about the local price or the transformer, it's just that I have a really good one and it's worth the bother. (to me)
Re: kayaking. Depends on what is "near". I am just back from the north Andaman from 2 weeks of day paddles. In December I was in
, which is incredible. Need to have a folding boat to get to the good stuff in SEAsia. -
Those berries are cheap

They have them at Isetan @ Central World. Appears to be "ABC Dorrer" brand for around THB3300.
I do a lot of dehydrating for kayak trips and was looking at this one, but I think I will bring my good one from home next time I'm back.

I haven't used ACDSee for 10+ yrs, but maybe you have the shadow/highlights button on. That could result in a green overlay over 100% black areas.

Agree, beautiful.

Yeah, IKEA for sure.
Some of the name brand enameled cast iron stuff here is ridiculously expensive. My big Le Creuset pot that was $250 back home sells for THB25,000 here.
Printing Slides And Moisture ...

Then it's just about 80B for each scan (good for 8"x10" or a little bigger). Then prints are pretty reasonable as well.
The only variable is the shape the slides are in, whether they need retouching for scratches etc. You could always take the slides their main location and get some feedback from a tech person.
