Thanks everyone for your input.

Much appreciated!

Thanks AyG.

Basically it is what we are receiving in Australia from Thai PBS instead of their usual broadcast. I had thought it would be describing a loss in transmission but it doesn't seem so.

Can someone please assist with a translation of this screen grab?

I can't contact my chief translator/wife and urgently need to know what it says.

Thanks in advance.

My top 3 (at the moment )...

A nice home brewed AIPA (Themed on Sierra Nevada Torpedo...but better IMO ) enjoyed in Bangkok...Mmmmmmm...

Heres the full link

Says its a dead link ??

Works for me.

nescafe doesnt taste the same when nuked.

I'd have to take the washing new clothes on a case by case basis but I'll side with your wife on the other things.

I don't think we even have any table knives now that I think of it.

They do sell them at Chatuchak market but the only ones I've seen are the generic non-branded ones.

Manly by 1 with George Rose coming off the bench to clinch it with a field goal in the final minute.

If I could tell you I'd be living there full time myself. Teaching is one of the few options if you are suitably qualified.

Work options for foreigners in Thailand are pretty limited and bar work is off the cards unless you actually own the bar.

I'm another moo fan...gai not so much. Still only a 9 though!

The gai always seems to be 1% meat, and 99% gristle and bone.

Pad krapow moo khrob = perfection

+1 for this. When done well it takes one of my favourite thai food styles to a whole new level of indulgence.

Love it! I'd give it a 9.

Hi John - I use an iPhone and find "iTranslate Voice" and the "Google Translate" app both helpful.

Can I slip a Beer Lao into this thread on a technicality? I did drink it in Nong Khai....

As the writing on my ice bucket says "Wow, cool, fresh!"

A nice relaxing cold beer in the evening.....

Where, please.

It's chemically impossible to metabolize alcohol into sugar. That would be about as likely as turning smoke into wood.

I guess I should have said "energy" rather than "sugar"....at least that is my understanding but I'm no scientist so am happy to be proven wrong

When it comes to beer counting calories is a little pointless. Low carb beers are essentially a marketing ploy as the body will metabolise the alcohol content as sugar and the only true "low carb beer" is a low alcohol beer.

Basically, like Dancealot said, the key is drinking less - I try to limit my drinking to a few beers a couple of days a week and it isn't always easy but it makes a huge difference. As long as you drink less, eat smart, and keep active the weight will come off.

Really enjoying the photos Shaggy - Thanks for sharing

I wish that there was a local version of V8, but they always add someting sweet like carrot or pineapple juice to the vegetable juice and ruin the taste.

Agreed. Same for the local versions of fruit juices in cans & cartons - pomegranate, mangosteen, etc.

Freshly-squeezed stuff (without the sweet syrup) is great.

You can buy sugar free fruit juices in tetra packs. Available in all the large food stores here.

There is no such thing as sugar free juice...only juice with no added sugar (on top of the copious amounts naturally present from the juiced fruit).
