I don't think high fever is a symptom of Omincron so probably not Omicron.

Latinos are working in restaurants of all kinds all over the country. Personally, I think people of different identities can be trained to make authentic tasting food IF supervised by someone that knows what the food is supposed to taste like, yes, usually a native. Case in point I just had a carne asada super burrito today in Pattaya and while it wasn't the best in the world, it would pass as pretty, pretty, pretty good in the U.S. (Mexicans don't do that kind of burrito.) I would bet the house the person cooking that burrito was neither American or Mexican but there was an American behind the training. Maybe not even Thai, could be Khmer, who knows? Of course the restaurant has to care about that to bother. If the customers don't care, why should the owners? But again exceptions of high quality and authentic flavor do exist in the U.S. for most any type food you can mention, as there is a market for it.

I don't do deposits for this. On the day that I go in for the letter, I always make a withdrawal. Then the update that day will reflect that day. The current rule (probably) at Jomtien which I use is that letter can't be older than three days (but not sure how they handle weekends, etc.).

I think you might be thinking its gaslighting but it's not that. It's closer to sarcasm. Sarcasm Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

Thailand isn't persecuting Jews or even this one Israeli based on his identity. However he is a convenient scapegoat regardless. Also there have been a number of anti semitic insinuations from some expat posts here over the days of this incident. Unfortunately predictable.

I think what was missing was the Covid clearance document from the hotel. There is no way he left the hotel without his passport. About the reporting thats about lost in translation.

Scapegoats for the pain of the pandemic are useful for Thailand or anywhere.

I think you're being sarcastic but that distinction would be for Malaysia.

His works are still.with us. 101 is a fair run.

Maybe just say your mileage at immigration may vary but if your office needs to see every transaction going back a year there is a very good reason for it.

Most famous for his paintings of cakes and pies, I very much prefer his San Francisco landscapes.

But patrons of the arts all so I say give them a pass.

Obviously enforcement specifics may vary based on office. Nobody can possibly monitor every anamoly that might happen.

Going into this deeper, here is a definition for you: I decided to randomly look at Alabama which is fairly or unfairly seen as more of a backwards state. Their big cities aren't very big at all. ALL on this list over 100,00 population have multiple Thai restaurants according to google. I didn't check cities with 6,000 people as I don't regard them as cities. The 10 Largest Cities In Alabama - WorldAtlas Are some or even any of the Thai restaurants in Alabama very good and authentic? That I don't know but I wouldn't rule it out.

I've tried it. In Montreal. I haven't sought it out in Thailand which is what I said so I can't even comment on it's ease of availability here. I don't claim to be an expert on every food type (many but not every) and I doubt very many "top chefs" even in Manhattan are either.

I've been saying for a long time that Pattaya should carve out it's future as an arts and culture hub.

Chinese food is incredibly varied by region but it's fair to say that texture is very important in it. They eat everything. So some of their foods are more than a bit much for typical western palates. Westernized Chinese food often features goopy sweet sauces. I learned about "real" Chinese food in California going to places with Chinese customers and pointing to plates of food that weren't even listed on the menus they gave non-Chinese. Sometimes I would order a dish and was told they wouldn't serve it as I wouldn't like it. I usually pushed them anyway. Sometimes they were right (usually involving offal) and other times it was about wonderful strong flavors that I liked very, very much. You kind of have to waste some money to find the great stuff. Recently at a local authentic Chinese restaurant in Pattaya, I ordered a duck dish that didn't explain what it really was in Chinese, English, or Thai. It was all duck beaks. Unfortunately, I don't like duck beaks.

Just out of curiosity, what's the population of your small city?

Wow, how arrogant. You asked something else before and I answered. For example you didn't ask if I've had the best falafel in the world in Thailand, just if I've had falafel here. You didn't ask if I've had the best Japanese food in the world in Thailand, just authentic Japanese food that isn't sushi. You didn't like the answer and assertion that your list was hard to find when in my experience that isn't true. Went against your false assumptions. Now you bait and switch and get into top chefs and make more assumptions about my persoal exposure to good food in Thailand, the U.S., and many countries in the world. Hilariously bragging about blue corn stuff without asking if I have eaten well in Santa Fe New Mexico. Talking about BBQ without asking if I have lived in the deep south. Talking about a very basic Korean dish without asking if I have lived near a major American Koreatown. Well, chefs as a profession are notoriously arrogant. Manhattan arrogance takes the cake. So everyone is stupid about food but you. Nobody that isn't a top chef has any taste or exposure to wonderful international food. Sure thing, amigo. What a silly game.

I'm not at all sorry to report that Louis C.K has released a new special called Sorry. If you think he committed the crime of the century and don't think he deserves to work again, talk to his hand (get it?). Sorry (TV Special 2021) - IMDb

I lived in big cities in the US. There if you cared it wasn't hard at all to find the very good real flavor places. Also there are Thai concentrations other than LA even on the east coast. But the west coast is best for fresh Asian produce. There is also an overlap in ingredients with the much larger Vietnamese population.

California is a VERY big state. Have you eaten in the large Thaitown in LA?

Pad Thai was definitely promoted by the hyper nationalist government at that time.

Authentic Japanese? Yes. Korean bibimbap? Yes. Falafel? Yes. Greek gyros? Yes Foams? No but haven't looked. You live in the sticks?
