  1. Bit same question as asking if a salad from the garden is better eaten straight away or after few days in the fridge.... what is the best and what is possible is not the same.

    i will said, keep 3 days supply in your grinder

    keep 2 week supply in a special container in your fridge

    the other part in the freezer

    some fridge have less moisture as some other, I keep my bean outside, I try chest freeze them for holiday and do not have problem

  2. a-one of my friend working in CP tower Silom got a call, his company will be close Monday / Tuesday

    b-one of my other friend working in Sathorn got a call, the boss book hotel rooms for the staff to be able to work ... WOW !

    one is a Australian company / the other is a Korean company

    could you guess the a & b ... hahaha

  3. I will say 4 days, they have to act quickly now, one or two days to try to save as many children / innocent red / old people and they will go for the kill, if not the army will turn against the government or more support from the province will descend to Bangkok !

    Edit to add, Later on, the most positive outcome will be the government starting to think more about poor people and the welfare

  4. If you agenda are shopping, not the good time to come here.

    Outside, You will be fine, perhaps you will need to revise your stay in one area if problem occur, many safe spots in Bangkok, just the inconvenient with traffic and some public transport close !

  7. relax.... friends....

    the THB is range bound, that i can assure you....

    if you have extra money in the bank....

    change it into physical gold, but NOT GOLD COINS, won't be a bad idea....

    Why NOT GOLD COINS ?

    you paying a premium for it, less easy to sell as Thai gold bar bought in china town, the Opp could buy other currencies as well if he think the thai baht will go down.

    edit, the gold part are if you live in thailand

    In the UK and most of the west you pay CGT on bullion, currently 18% but soon to be 40%. Best to pay the premium.

    I do not know UK fiscal arrangement & how people setup they CGT, It is to the individual to see.

  8. I have see this kind of post reappearing in this sections, people who need a program to download from youtube !

    Anyway coming back to my post and letting the feral members devouring themselves in the

  9. 7 Foriegners Killed?, Any Information?

    They were all from Tuvalu.

    One was a reporter, one was wearing his favourite colour (red) & so could have been mistaken for a protester & the remaining five people were bystanders.

    The population of Tuvalu now stands at 12,366.

    Can i smoke what you are smoking ?

  10. Now you have the entire feral members under one roof

    ‘Clashes Continue, Turning Central Bangkok In Virtual Warzone’ should it be a good time to wind them up and gas them ?

  12. civet coffee as well, but I get a mix from a Hanoi company

    best coffee bean i bought was in Vietnam

    i got a very good bland from Paragon, forgot the bland name, was about 2000 baht a kilo

    most of the time, it is just a ok espresso i am having, i try many brands in Thailand, nothing to compare to Vietnam

    99% of vietnamese civet coffee is a hoax no question about it.. made in a chemical vat that is supposed to represent the digestive tract....if your paying less than 300-500 usd retail youve been had... even then in vietnam its questionable that your getting the real deal either civet or deer, you want the real deal let me know ill provide pics of the lil devils... snacking away, pre and post production :D , no joke sumatra produces about 1,000 kgs a year max evrything else is farmed...ie bali, or chemicaly produced... vietnam... but i just scored 3 kgs :)

    You must be totally right, i did not paid more of $40 a kilo, but believe me, it was good, and miss it.

    Bit fermented and alcohol, chocolate after test, strong with good cream but so smooth, perhaps not for everyday consumption.

    I generally get my bean from the fresh food market in Hanoi, big bean, golden brown, very hard shell, I can hear my grinder working harder on it, but Vietnam coffee for my experience are superior of whet i can find here (Thailand), i reduce my take to 2 double espresso a morning now, use to have double amount before.

    I am sure in Indonesia you could find great coffee as well.

  13. You guys have no idea how good Vietnam coffee is..

    Vietnam coffee is excellent. it tastes like any other coffee you have ever tried.

    I went to vietnam and brought several packs of coffee, Trung Nguyen brand.

    it's the most delicious coffee, very strong thou, you need to put small amount in the machine/filter.

    I bought for 2 dollars each coffee pack. they sell for $5-6 on the website.

    http://www.trung-nguyen-online.com/trung-n...offee-order.php

    Oh, yes we know, coffee bean purchase is high on my list and one of the reason I fly there at time..

    But do you have any idea ' how easy ' or try before to order from the trung nguyen home page and have it send to a place in Thailand ??

  14. I am so used to buying coffee beans, roasting them and grounding them at home, or at a store but in front of my own eyes. so I'm not so used to buy packed bags of pre-roasted and ground coffee. you mentioned some brands .. most of them I never heard of in my life!

    :)

    Bit same as you, I only buy beans, as i ground my own with a Gaggia grinder, that limit my purchase, I did the round of shops few years ago, did not find anything spectacular in place like villa market or other, the best I got was in paragon, i think Suki brand, very good at over 2000 baht a kilo, like to stay around 800 baht a kilo.

    I have a friend base in chiangrai, he send me three time different Hills brands as well, did not find them so special.

    Against what people can say about Vietnam, it is where I find the best beans until now.

    Perhaps with more espresso machine for domestic usage on the market, it will attract more shop selling beans?

  15. My GF recently bought an Epson from Pantip Plaza, with an "Ink Tank" which you could refill.

    some day you will need this little program to reset your printer if you do not have it

    http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml

    sscserver.exe

    My friend using tanks the last 6-7 years, now the tank people make it difficult for reseting the Epson printer with the sscserver.exe, they prefer you to call them and send a motobike service man for few hundred baht

    Myself, long time ago i stop using inkjet and went to laser, working when you need it, without to clear dry ink

  16. Horse tartare? OMG, congratulations, you've reached deep into my DISCOMFORT zone! Have tried snails and frogs, snails taste good with the garlic but once was enough, frog tastes like chicken but its too weird for me, once was enough.

    Yes, you are right Jingthing, it is not a nice thing to do ! did not know better at this time, was a kid. Use to have a lot of horse meat shops, they was separated from the beef boucher, i am not touching now to horse / bear / long life animal / young animal (veal) and some other !

    i saw yesterday in the restaurant next door, a customer bringing a pet rabbit with her, we smile, i was ready to tell her in France we like to eat rabbit .. be i refrain hahaha

    i love to much dogs to think so people can eat them.

    Forgot to said frog legs is not the same if made with toad or the cute green type frogs :)
