The fish sauces that I've 'tasted' are so hot that I doubt that any bugs could live in them anyway, never mind preservatives.

Fish sauce in and of itself is not hot unless you add chilies.

Have you tried the Kitchen shop on Second Road?

You need to see a doctor and tell him of these symptoms. Don't wait 3 months.

3000 baht for a one night stand?

Yes, I understand the problem. In my case they understood what I was saying but as they had never heard of an egg cup, i had to clarify in Thai what it was used for. Generally, Thais don't eat soft boiled eggs and have no need for egg cups. My Thai wife has never heard of an egg cup neither

I don't understand why people make blanket statements about what Thais do or don't do something. My Thai boyfriend and I eat soft boiled eggs once a week and the day the housecleaners come because it's quicker and less messy. We don't have egg cups ( I don't like eating my boiled eggs that way.), we just scoop the eggs into a small bowl.

I'm a bit surprised that dishes with beef or cheese made the list.

I thought the majority of Thais shunned beef and cheese.

Interesting.

Most Thais I know love steak; a couple don't eat beef at all.

The past participle of the infinitive verb 'to shrink' in English is 'shrunk' so, in a present perfect question it should read: "Has your English vocabulary shrunk over the years". Of course, if you're American, they don't seem to bother too much with past participles which is a minefield for English students. A recent American English teacher wrote on his application to become a teacher - "we don't learn verb tenses in America"! Heaven help his students... :-(

This teacher is an idiot. Of course, they teach verb tenses in America. Obviously, he didn't learn them.

I have found that, not only do Thai doctors over prescribe antibiotics, but Thais go to the pharmacy and buy antibiotics for any little thing. I knew a guy who bought antibiotics because he had been caught in the rain. I knew the pharmacist well and asked him to explain to this guy that he should not be taking antibiotics for such a reason. He tried to convince him, but to no avail. Down the road this country is going to have a major health crisis because of over medicating people.

A gala performance is normally the premiere or first performance, but i see that the gala performance is not on the first night. I am as confused as you are. Perhaps you should call to the therater and ask them.

I find all Nationalities to be quite annoying, including my own..

The latest annoyance is the Russians talking Russian to 7/11 staff and expect them to understand..

..English is the international language, period..

Thai should be spoken in Thailand period, you cant expect low paid low schooled Thais to understand English. Your in Thailand.. adapt. But im pretty sure you do, but i find it unreasonable to expect Thais in their own country to speak English especially low paid ones.

"Your in Thailand"? I hope your Thai is better than your English.

I ate there several years ago, with bad food, poor service and double pricing I haven't been back. As for the view, you can go to le Saigon and get the same view with better food and service and the price is the same for Thai and Farang.

University of Birmingham "Obesity rates in the UK are the highest in Europe.......In Birmingham, over 25% of the population are obese - the third highest rate in the UK." In the US it's about 35%, but the Brits are catching up quickly.

Tomato Puree is a common drink in some countries. My wife adds vodka AKA, A Bloody Mary

That's tomato juice, not puree.

His family have refused to give DNA for tests. MMMMM I wonder why!

Problem with the flour you get here is it is mostly cake flour.

This isn't true. I make bread all the time and the flour I find here is mostly all purpose flour, which works well for bread. When I do want cake flour I usually have a hard time finding it.

Lock his sorry a** up in a Thai prison and forget where the keyes are.

I have had a hiatal hernia for many years. I take omeprazole every morning and it controls the acid reflux very well.

I would be interested. Let me know more details i.e., location, class schedule and cost.

"I like to systematically trace them back as far as I can and then 'let em av it' with a can of bug killer... I like to think I win, but its only the battle, the war is ongoing... "

With the powder I posted about you don't have to trace them anywhere; they carry the poison back to their nest and do the job for you.

This is what I have used with great results. Iput a little on a paper plate with a few crumbs of bread and put it under the table. In a few days the ants were all gone.

Of course you can drive on the one year license. I drove in France on a one year license. I also had an international license, but the car rental agent said he didn't need to see it. E mail any major car rental agent in the country where you want to drive to verify this is correct.

The former is oyster and the latter is pearl. That's why the Thais found it amusing.

I bought some rennet to make ricotta when I was in Paris. It didn't work, so I went back to my old method: milk, heavy cream and lemon juice. I get perfect ricotta.

I only shop at Villa as a last resort when I can't find what I am looking for anywhere else.

Thanks for your 2 cents worth, but that is not what I am looking to do.
