My GF liked it above others. We had a new Kiss up in Naklua which was slowly done for by Covid and now it has gone I quite miss it. They always had a few very good dishes and excellent ice-cream.
During Covid, Kiss Naklua did a lot of very good work with donations and heavily discounted dishes, so it was nice to give them a bit back with our custom.
My other half is a big fan of the steamed sea bass at Kiss Food and Drink on Second Road, opposite Soi 5. Hers came in a fish shaped tin with a burner, slathered in lime, garlic and chillies. Over 300 Baht a portion, if I recall correctly.
Most of those in T21 haven't travelled half way round the world. They come from other Asean countries or places like China, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. That end of 2nd Rd mostly caters to the same market.
Westerners, South Asians and Russians do visit as well but not in as great numbers.
It appears to be the case that the mall's initial popularity took the owners by surprise because they had to build a second multi-storey car park.
The best film I have seen in the last 5 years is Parasite, made in Korea. Some other Oscar winners have been embarrasingly poor.
I did rate Joker but can see it is not to everyone's taste.
Seems to work pretty well on Beach Road and the trials on Sois Honey and Diana between Buakhao and 2nd Rd seem to have been a success.
The sooner we get the monorail installed the better.
Got some Lancashire cheese (Wensleydale also in stock), Warburtons crumpets and Greggs mini-sausage rolls from Villa at Avenue Mall today.
I'm a happy shopper.
It has always been the case that FIT (free independant travellers) tourists are far wealthier than those in big tour groups.
I see a lot of young Chinese and Korean guys hooking up with young and pretty Thai girls. They are monied up, often own property and like Thai and other East Asian food. They are a more attractive proposition for the girls than Western men over 50 who like a drink and eat pie and chips at Hungry Hippo and Cheap Charlies.
There are plenty of young Chinese ladies who travel in small groups together.
Popping over to Pattaya for a long weekend is a very attractive proposition from cities in China that are mostly between 2 and 4 hours away by plane.
He speaks for fellow right-wing, fruit loop nut jobs and he will soon end up back in prison where he belongs. He has a list of convictions as long as your arm already. An irrelevance in political terms, even Farage detests him.
