Bob hasn't stopped drinking for more than 5 minutes out of the last 31 million minutes.

Mop until you drop baby. And don't let anyone ever tell you that you should do anything different.

Don't think larb and pizza would be a match. If anything, maybe grupow chicken pizza. For over 30 years already, California Pizza Kitchen in the United States has had a Thai chicken pizza on their menu, which remains popular in the USA. It's a chicken pizza made mainly with a mixture of peanut butter and hoisin sauce. The recipe: https://www.food.com/recipe/california-pizza-kitchen-thai-chicken-pizza-62778 That reference to the water making New York pizza taste better is an urban myth. In fact, the myth is in reference to New York bagels and not the pizza. It's all false though. I think what really gives NYC pizza its notorious flavor is the saltiness of the low-moisture mozzarella cheese they use in NY, clashing with the sweetness of the pizza sauce they use, which is also mixed with generous amounts of basil, oregano, and garlic.

You are about as sober as a bum on the Bowery. 5 days ago you were moaning and whinging about a pint of lager you had in bar in Nakorn Nowhere that had a foul stench. If you can't be good then at least be good at it because the only fool you are fooling with all your hoaxes is yourself.

Haha, I pity you. You fell right for the bait. You've been tr0lled by boob. 😂

The Thai dish named "American Fried Rice" is a true anomaly though given the fact that America doesn't have its own (or any) version of fried rice within its own cuisine. Guess you whack some hot dogs, raisins and ketchup into anything and you can call it American?

Looks like a vile new version of crab crust pizza has emerged. Alas, I present to you "shrimp crust":

I forgot to mention the fake crab meat and those plastic hot dogs they use to stuff pizza crust with.

Definitely gets you away from the hustle and bustle, but living in Nakhon (Nowhere) Si Thammarat wouldn't be my definition of idyllic. Looks like that beach also gets its share of garbage being returned to it from the sea, but I guess that's a problem everywhere in Thailand now once you treat the ocean as a landfill.

also, fine line between posting regularly on AN and insanity. 😉

torture, yes, but driven by insanity?

What adaptations in Thailand of Western foods do you find strange and/or unappealing? For me it's ketchup on pizza, corn in yogurt, salt in fresh squeezed orange juice, coconut ice cream served in hot dog buns, American fried rice, condensed sweetened milk on thick pieces of white bread toast, or how about those black colored "horse urine eggs"?

Within our day you reckon? 😊

Lol, what ever runs as planned in the hubs of hubs?

How pathetic. Who in their right mind would even want to? Yet, you act like you deserve some sort of trophy. For what? What is it that you achieved from this exactly? Seeing how long you could last without needing to change your under garments? You should feel blessed you didn't get locked up by the police for disturbing the peace, being a public nuisance, being a lunatic, and/or for cruising for a gay hookup.

Never liked Hua Hin. Landlocked with only one road in and out. Drive is too far from Bangkok compared to Pattaya. Beaches aren't idyllic. Boring. Small. Too many old x-pat retirees. Well, at least bob smith isn't there. I could go on, but that covers the main points.

one man's shiit is another man's verbal diarrhea.

Another feeble fable from bits and bobs. I'm waiting for his next silly yarn where he goes on a rant about how tea was a pathetic waste of time and how he's now properly back on the piss with one of his mates, along with dozens of tatted up slappers dripping off his knee, whilst he's about ready to go short-time. Nawng, check binnnnnnnnnnn!

The fact that you have no clue about how to drill anything fully explains why you found Pattaya so boring. Now you should take your new fangled drilling skills and have Bob show you the ropes on Soi 6/1. Surely it will give you a whole new perspective on Pattaya. Then you will also be able to give up your addiction of cruising up and down the underground train cars late at night inside the Manila Metro hoping to find some tranny to drill.

Yes, for real. They eat spaghetti with a sauce they create using ketchup made from bananas and then mix in sliced hotdogs. I'm getting sick just thinking about it.

I'll bet you put ketchup on your pizza and corn in your yogurt too? Surely you really love cocoanut ice cream served in an untoasted hotdog bun? Or how about American fried rice (rice stir fried in ketchup and served with a hot dog and a deep fried chicken drumstick)? YUMMMMMM!

One man's torture is another man's masochistic wet dream. I wouldn't expect to find anything less here on AN.

Reading this post was torture. But I survived it, somehow, I think…

Here’s a detailed analysis of the act of mopping floors in Thailand, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, considering cultural practices, tools used, techniques, and the importance of cleanliness in each country. Thailand Cultural Practices and Importance: • Cleanliness is highly valued in Thai culture, and regular cleaning, including mopping, is an essential part of daily life. • Many Thai homes have tiled floors which are easy to clean and maintain. Tools Used: • Traditional Thai mops often have a long handle with a cotton or microfiber head. • Modern sponge mops and flat mops are also popular. • Cleaning solutions may include water mixed with natural ingredients like lime or commercial cleaners. Techniques: • Floors are often swept or vacuumed before mopping to remove dust and debris. • Mopping is done in sections, with the mop rinsed frequently to avoid spreading dirt. • Special attention is given to high-traffic areas to ensure thorough cleaning. Frequency: • Mopping is typically done daily in many households and more frequently in commercial spaces. Cambodia Cultural Practices and Importance: • In Cambodia, cleanliness is important but may be influenced by rural or urban settings. • Homes, especially in rural areas, may have wooden or tiled floors.

Frequency: • Mopping is generally a daily task, with more frequent mopping in high-traffic areas. Comparative Summary • Thailand and Vietnam have a high emphasis on cleanliness, with mopping done daily in most homes. Both countries use modern and traditional mops and incorporate natural and commercial cleaning solutions. • Cambodia places importance on cleanliness, but the frequency of mopping may vary more between rural and urban settings. Traditional mops and natural cleaning agents are common. • In the Philippines, daily mopping is also standard practice, especially in urban homes. Modern mopping tools are becoming more popular. Across these countries, the act of mopping floors is seen not just as a chore but as an essential practice for maintaining hygiene and ensuring a pleasant living environment. The tools and techniques may vary slightly, but the commitment to cleanliness is a shared cultural value.

TBH, this whole topic should be shuttered. The git who wrote the OP considers mopping floors all day in a mental institution back in Oz to be more fun than being in Pattaya. Or, to put it another way, he thinks trolling thugs during a night patrol inside the Manila subway system is the definition of a fun night out. I mean, seriously, why would his opinion of Pattaya be relevant or useful to any sane person?
