Umlungu

Don't know, not my kind of thing. The menu covers a wide range of dishes beyond Thai food

Townsville, Cairns, Perth. Many indigenous communities.

Btw, there's a great little German-run restaurant in the "entry" Nirun soi, about half-way up, rhs, with a well-appointed menu. Friendly staff too. Aroy mak mak.

You state that you are Australian. Well, you should feel quite at home in the Nirun and its car wrecks. Go to any country town or city suburb in Oz and you'll find the alcoholics queuing up in the morning for the pubs to open. You'll be accosted by all kinds of drunk or sober weirdos. Add in the convict-gene criminality at all hours of the day, anywhere and everywhere. Car wrecks all over the place. A collection of old Holdens and P76s. A clapped out third world country where wages and rents are paid and collected on a forthnightly basis because the populace can't be relied on budgeting for an entire month ..... lol. Go home, mate, to where you belong.

Only 50%. Customer should only have paid half price.

Typical Thai. Fruit basket mentality. Don't deal with any - warranted - criticism in a constructive way, instead just paper it over, mask it, make it disappear with a compensation. ROFL

Hahaha, indeed. Totally naive, these Thais. No business accumen, no self awareness, no experience in customer relations, clueless as to dealing with complaints in a productive way (inviting the complainant back with a free meal, for example. Hotels mostly offer some sort of a freebie which has already been factored into the room rate)

Not capable of dealing with criticism (taking it personally, face saving, denial, angry reaction). Did the owner provide an online reply? How did the owner find the reviewer's address? Going there in person might well be interpreted as a threat. Quick to blame others (in this case the owner says she lost business based on the bad review. Does she have any proof? Maybe there are wider issues in her business model, like reduced portions etc whci quite a few people have picked up on. Restaurants can also have quite an extreme popularity cycle. Or it could even be seasonal fluctuation.) Quick to overreact aggressively.

Great. Nok gives you flexibility. With Air Asia you need to commit 5 weeks ahead if you might want checked baggage or not. If you go for carry-on only, and you make some purchaes at your destination, you will get stung big time on the rt sector upon check-in.

The day when Air Asia announced many years ago that they were relocating their BKK base from BKK to DMK is when the airline died for me as a potential choice. DMK is too inconvenient for me. I'd rather pay whatever potentially higher fee is involved.

pp as in per person has been around for decades. It is also used for passport, that is correct. As with everything with language, it depends on the context. When you're talking pricing for tickets, tours, hotels etc it obviously means per person and not passport (you could actually extend that to per passport (holder) lol)

All of his family? With Arabs that would have been at least 4 rows worth.

Leaving the country is not a domestic flight. So ban this scum from international flights? I think so. They can hitch a ride on a barge, freighter, super yacht or a pirogue. Might even float home on their prayer mat....

Normally Thai taxi drivers "find left behind" items..... but they aren't allowed into the airport. Lol.

Try Bacobye ointment (15g tube, most pharmacies around town), or Bacheu ointment (5g tube, 90 baht, Boots)). I have a red rash, same areas, both legs, where scrotum rubs against the leg. Comes and goes, no itch, just red skin. Pharmacist recommended the aforementioned creams, Usually one or two hits over two days resolves the problem. However, it does reoccur. Both products contain Mupirocin 2%.

Get a non-O, then a retirement extension, as you have done previously. Then get an unlimited multiple re-entry visa for one year, and there won't be any future hassles along the lines described.

What or who is Louise Vuitton? The sister of Louis Vuitton?

Bear in mind that geckos get into all kinds of tight spaces. I had them fry two circuit boards in both the internal as well as the compressor units of my split-system aircon, which was a very expensive exercise.

Forget about the drugs, that's just a decoy thrown by the -alleged - offender and accepted all too easily by the police. Consideing this guy's background, being on some sort of early release from jail after serving time for sex offences, he probably went for the girl, the boy tried to defend her - being an inconvenient witness anyhow - and was murdered. The girl was probably sexually abused and possible murdered thereafter. The best we can hope for is that she escaped and is in hiding.

Brit was a day early celebrating the coronation of Cauliflower Ears. In the process he did his bit for King and Empire in keeping a few of these renegade colonials in line......

Fully Independent Travellers

Great news. Keep it that way.

Well, she could at least coordinate her departure day with his - save on the taxi expenses. No need to carry any golf gear - Gambian God has a club and some balls.

It used to be Mauritius.
