Christie might be able to draw a crowd of 100, maybe 10 of his staff & family ????

Same here, yesterday as a matter of fact. Took couple snaps, and not operational yet.

11 weeks ???? for 1st Thai wife, and took as many months to realize, not the best idea I had that year. Divorced her but hung out for a while before I threw her out. 2nd Thai wife, live with 8 yrs before marrying, hmm, wonder why that is working ????

You're a joy to be with ... not a fan of Thai or western tourist ???? If anything of interest, there's going to be some tourist there, inclusive. Had to G 'Ban Rak Thai', looks pretty cool.

You didn't miss much, though have to admit, I'm not a cave fan.

Don't need to spend that much, or even possible, locally. I've only stayed surfside at Hadthong (dated) w/good restaurant, 'The View', the View and at Thur GH, basic but comfy, and nice hosts. Thur New place would probably be best now, though haven't been, Zea Zide Hotel Swimmer's beach is Ao Manao, and there are accommodations there. Been upgraded since I stayed there, so probably good. Is on RTAF Wing 5 base, but no issues being so. Weekend has nice night market along the surf, at pier area & N of.

Really no reason to, as not much there, except wife's home tambon (Na Klang) and some family still there. Only reason I've been there, except for passing through during very early visit to Erawan Cave, which is actually in Loei.

That's location dependent, as ours/PKK rarely stocks soft tortillas, and gone fast when they arrive. Not big on western fare offerings.

If wanting to stay near Andaman Sea @ Phang-Nga, then just north of Sarasin Bridge. Think I was one of the only farangs in the area. Great for a sunset with plenty of local vendors around ... my snaps: Natai Beach Might see one of my friends, cruising for a munch:

Nong Bua LamPhu

El Charro is another brand w/corn tortillas If a racist gringo, they even have white corn tortillas:

Never hurts to read the labels once in a while:

One reason I loved FL & Keys as my playground, fresh seafood. Have a dive buddy, same thinking, all fish smells. All out for dinner, and I ordered a nice grilled blackened tuna and he was amazed it didn't smell like a can of tuna. Still wouldn't sample it though ... ???? Damn it as tasty

Competition is a beautiful thing. Enough with the price gouging of EVs. When 2 of the same spec'd cars are on sale, and one is 2X the price ... competition is the only thing that stops that price gouging. CEO of the Volkswagen ... there's a trustworthy guy, as if anything he says is credible. VW wouldn't be a manufacturer of autos I would even consider. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_controversies

Som tum Thai - tasty, never smells fishy, although I add my own cayenne to it. There's more than 1 variation of Som tum. som tum Agree .. Som Tum Pu Pla Ra ... that's vile stuff

"Rice bran oil: This is produced from the outer brown layer of rice, known as the rice husk. Rice bran oil is highly refined and although there are some studies that suggest it provides health benefits, its ratio of polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids to omega 3 fats is 20:1, which is enough of a reason alone to avoid it. At most, omega 6 fatty acids should be at a 4:1 ratio with omega 3 (1:1 is optimal). As high levels of omega 6 fatty acids are highly inflammatory and can have huge implications on your long-term health, I suggest rice bran oil is one you avoid." oils Yes, a better choice ????

Fresh fish shouldn't smell 'fishy' ... avoid if it does. I guess you don't live in TH, as fish sauce is used quite often.

You better not read the labels of the items in you food cabinet containing 'natural flavoring', unless you want to be on a diet.

"Throughout her visit Ms Yellen sought to persuade her Chinese hosts that under President Joe Biden, America is not fundamentally hostile to China." Sending a 2nd CSG to the Sea of China & calling Pres. Xi a dictator doesn't come off as hostile at all ???? Another Trump hit piece from the echo box, but ignoring the facts... 'new boss, same as old boss': "Biden has clung to tariffs on China. American business owners say there's a cost" Biden keeps Trumps tariffs on China goods Spinning the BS instead of reporting the news. BBC ... another joke of an entertainment news organization ... IMHO

What makes you think they are poor ?

I doesn't lower it, it illuminated even asking for it. Who pays extra for used, when you can rent or buy new. Then if she wants to have a kid with him, just became a family of 4, without the hanger ons... ... RUN

Don't know about English or customer service, as yet to need after sales/purchase. Last laptops we bought were from; Lenovo: laptop for wife JIB: 2 ASUS laptops; me/daughter also a fan of Advice Distributors

@AventurasEnMadrid can't wait till she brings up the Sin Sot, and no Thai person would pay for someone with kids already. That should really let you see things clearly. There will be a nice piece of land of hers or family you can build on, or buy something new in 'her' name. RUN

Not sure about that, as I've married up 3X, (of 4) though first 2 weren't beneficial at all. 3rd beneficial, only since I can't own land here, and investing with and under her name has meant living here cost/rent free, all 23 yrs, and then some extra in the pocket.

You expecting to find a virgin in this day and age, especially if you are older than 15 yrs old, and good luck with.
