Don't know if your post is a reply to mine, however, it would appear that there are many people out there who crave these sugary drinks on a daily basis, and for the life of me I can't understand why, because it's never been part of my life and now I would probably drink three small cans of Coke a year, and then only if I was desperate for a drink and could get nothing else.

 

I see what you're saying, inasmuch as the diet drink would mean the consumers were absorbing less calories, however the research does suggest that the sugar high that these people crave by drinking these sorts of drinks, is a lot shorter, so they go on to drink more, so maybe the calorie differential really doesn't come down to much at the end of the day.

I just know that I know many people that were drinking diet coke during diet and it helped them as lot.

When they were feeling like eating something sweet, they just drank some coke zero instead of eating sweet.

As easy as this, and it works, whatever studies...

Are you sure that fruit wines are not mixed in Thailand ? They receive real cheap wine from abroad and mix it with something to make it taste like sht, then sell it cheaper ?

So for you, when someone drinks 2 L of real coke a day, the solution is just to let them do ?

Of course not ! If they drink diet coke they won't absorb as many calories whatever "scientists" say.

No need to apologize.  However, "The work, done with mice and humans, suggests that artificial sweeteners could raise your blood sugar levels more than if you indulged in sugar-sweetened sodas and desserts."  Many more around like this.  Do some home work.  All the best

Yes but real sugar makes you instantly fat, so the choice is easy !

I hear that red wine / cola ,   half / half mix is a popular drink in some European countries 

We were drinking it when going to raves all over EU, and especially in Spain. It was good to help the X to reach the brain ! hahaha...

i guess the main reason i even posted this thread is that now thier is a bridge over to ko lanta versus previous ferry...................i would assume that development since the bridge , would be strong now?  that saladan since the bridge would be starting to get more developed with restaurants and lodging options?  

Yes report me, but it changes nothing to the fact that you know nothing and will never know anything it seems.

There is no bridge from mainland to Koh lanta, there is only a bridge between both Koh lanta islands.

So nothing has changes and anyway beaches couldn't be more ugly than what they are.

For trips within the country there is no need for you to report to immigration after returning.

Only the most pedant offices check to see if you have had a report done by a hotel and I am not aware of any office here in the northeast doing it,

Can you post and pin the list of provinces where they do it ?

After returning, yes, but what about reporting to imm where i am staying temporarily, that i am there. That would mean two reports, of course, one from me and one from the hotel. 

Try to avoid big franchise hotels, they are the most troublesome and deserve hate.

I never checkin at any hotel with my name, Thai do it, and only the big brands insist to see my passport, so nor I insist to avoid them like plage, poor succkkers they are.

I wouldn't stay in either. I stayed on Klong Dao which is within walking distance of Saladan. Lovely beach.

Last time you saw a beach was 20 years ago...

I would disown the daughter and tell her to refund me everything that I spent for her !

But luckily I let other people have problems with kids... and have kids ! hahaha

Hello, also looking for feedbacks about IP cams available in Thailand ? Is watashi good ? Can you get email notifications in case of alarms ? Thanks.

Actually I am wondering, do you know any training school for dogs in Thailand ?

I know that Thai do not know what I mean, but maybe enough farangs to be customers at dogs training schools ?

Next time when I get a dog, I don't want him a stupid as me !

Funny that after tax increase fruit wine is cheaper ?

This 199 thb Charles Strong is acceptable for people used to drink sht montclair and acceptable marysol.

https://www.vivino.com/wineries/charles-strong/wines/central-ranges-reserve-classic-bin-991-9999

I find this Charles strong even better than Marysol.

Of course it's not real wine, but enough to get drunk with 1 bottle !

i meant krabi town. sorry for confusion.  krabi town versus saladan ko lanta.  i want beach running and i know krabi town to beach at o nang is a pleasant scooter ride away . and long beach on lanta is good for running.  i haven't been to lanta for years but now thier is bridge across so i would assume it has become more delevoped.  with more massage places and restaurants.  ive had challange in past finding good massage in krabi town and i would assume its the same story in lanta. thier is a good restaurant in krabi town. but i wont give up the name because its the only good restaurant and thier is a waiting list to sit down. although i know she is making a second restaurant for overflow which is probably ready by now.  when will the thais figure out the restaurant game.

Really, this restaurant thing is so ridiculous...

The first thing to do is ignore the ignorance of this poster. Ko samui is in the gulf  so unless you take trips to adjoining islands you will find most beaches are shallow and the water not clear compared to Andaman sea. Ao Nang mentioned by another  is a busy town but really has little in the way of decent beaches unless you pay for long tail boats  to take you to Railly beach etc. Ko Lanta is far more laid back and the Muslim presence very low key. You will be able to explore a number of beaches by scooter varying from long open beaches to smaller coves. Being in the Andaman the water is much clearer if you like snorkeling. There are also worthwhile day trips by speedboat to Ko Muk ,the emerald cove etc. where you can swim and snorkel too. There are a number of varied restaurants which you can see listed on Trip Advisor . If you need a more vibrant night life and shopping facilities  this may not be the place for you but everything else is rather better.

Yes, you are right, and Muslim also like dogs hahahaha...

So weird that people never feel ridiculous.

OP: if you really want to see a nice beach, never go to Lanta !

Sell your kids or move !

Koh Lanta is more family-oriented and laid-back than Krabi town, but you may want to consider Ao Nang, 20 kms SW of Krabi town. It has more to offer in the way of restaurants, beaches, hotels, bars and massage--with or without happy beginning and/or ending.  Koh Lanta is pleasant though, the owner of the Fat Pig has another restaurant called the Fat Monkey, which I prefer. Lantah has a few good bars, like the Cheeky Monkey, and some good dive shops, like Flip-Flop Dives, and several nice hotels and resorts.

Do you really believe that he was talking about krabi CITY ? Who is idiot enough to travel to krabi city ? Of course he was talking about Aonang, which is good for food, but ridiculous for the beach.

Koh Lanta beaches are ugly compared to Railey krabi and Koh Samui. But do you really travel to the beach to find a restaurant selling exactly the same thing that you can buy anywhere in the whole country ?

Hello,

Any update on this ? Bangkok or Pattaya almond at wholesale price ?

Thanks.

Hi, do you know any restaurant in Pattaya that doesn't serve Montclair ugly wine when ordering a red wine carafe ?

Or what is the restaurant that has te cheapest (fruit I guess) wine bottles in your opinion ?

Thank you.

I took my prescription to an optical shop in Pnomh Penh last  month and bought new frames (made in Japan) and new lenses (made in Singapore) for 600 TB

Also bought a pair with "Photochromic" lenses that darken in bright sunlight for 1100 TB.

Am very happy.

Do you remember the shop name in Pnom penh ? or location ? Thanks.
