On one day, the passenger attacked taxi driver. In some other time vice versa. And so on and on and on. Phuket looks like a rough place...

Soon, her wallet will grow even bigger; with the new tax on cooking oil and salt as reported late last year. Bangkok Post - Taxes on salt and fat considered

Good to be loyal to own favorites. Instead of compromising with the lesser close cousin. Money is meant to be spent on what people value.

Good to be loyal to own favorite. Buying something not really fond of is the waste of money.

I presume you might even much less impressed with Malaysian street food(compared with Thai ones). According to my experience in Penang over a decade ago. I have never suffered any stomach aches or food poisoning with Thai street food(from the roadside vendors) since my settlement late 2005. But I got an awful memory in Penang, Malaysia back in 07. I experienced a weeklong diarrhea after eating their soup noodle in the street(it was also horribly tasteless).

It solely depends on where you check in for flight to Thailand. As far as I experienced, I often needed to do so(especially when the airline ground staff was less experienced and lacking Thai visa knowledge). While I didn't have to when they know well about it. Looks like No Set Standard regarding the need for Outbound ticket. No wonder what I met isn't always the same as what you met. So not much point to argue it. End of the story.

Looks very filling and healthy bowl of noodle with various vegetables. Is the big round thing a sliced radish?

　　　 　　

Mu Pings are mostly sold by small individual vendors(family-run or alone by the seller). Do you really believe they got enough manpower to make up fake meat that tastes like pork with the fat and gristle/cartilage? Sounds so unrealistic. Even though big manufactures can make it with sophisticated food processing technologies and factories.

What makes you say so? Any solid factual backings?

In other words, it doesn't serve to gradual takeover of Thailand by CCP?

Outbound ticket thing may be different from place to place. But in my case, c/in(airport outside Thailand)staff often asked me for not having departure ticket(from Thailand) . So I needed to explain that I have retirement visa and re-entry permit. Then they understood. Regarding sufficient cash in the pocket, it once happened to me more than 15 years ago in Mae Sai(while I was a visa-runner before I get my current non-immigrant O retirement). The immigration officer asked me to show THB 10000-.

Thank you for your concern. But I don't eat it street food all the time. And I never eat any seafood in the street. Instead, I often cook my meals at home(over 90% of the time). Street gourmet is something like for a change.

Another version of 10B Thai street ice-cream: Stick type. Often seen in Sunday night market between Thae Pae Gate and Wat Phrasing as well.

Most ice-cream sellers in the street, serve 10B portion in cone. But that vendor put it on the plastic bowl(top cover of the disposable cup). It is not a factory-packed stuff. So I call it Street Food.

Question of 20K is more likely in case of land border(e.g. Mae Sai) than airport. Airlines commonly question the passengers for not having onward ticket. As they are liable to bring them back to the port of departure in case they are denied entry at their port of arrival(even though Thai immigration rarely ask for outbound pax).

Beautiful Mu Ping(charcoal grilled pork) and sticky rice on banana leaves. I often eat them in the open air market while grocery shopping. Very moment feeling great to be alive.

According to the link you attached, the presence of China cops outside their border functioning as the tool of intimidation of own national(overseas Chinese yet to become naturalized to the country of their residence). Sounds even more horrifying and upsetting; openly violating the law enforcement sovereignty of the respective country even in the first world.

He was lucky that he didn't face mob lynch after accidentally killing a local because of own carelessness. Was it because he quickly showed his remorse to victim's family? Or was it in Chiang Mai often known for its generally gentle population? Any chance of different story in Pattaya or Phuket in the similar situation?

So that absurd idea is not dead yet: Chinese cops in Thailand. Even though it was supposedly dismissed earlier. Thai police dismiss TAT proposal to have Chinese policemen patrol tourist cities Bangkok Post - No Chinese cops on Thai streets, says police chief PM says no to Chinese police patrolling in Thailand If they need Chinese-speaking cops, they simply need to hire own people who can do so.

I checked my archives. But not many food photos from Cambodia while there are quite a few scenic pix(e.g. public markets).

Looks like that way. The cartoon below from USA in 1980s...

No Minors sign at its entrance?

I took a trip to Cambodia in late 2010. Let me upload some of the photos taken then. Pineapple of artistic cut from the vendor in Koh Kong. In the market of Sihanoukville. Raw spring rolls. Soup noodle with ground pork dumplings. Deep fried chicken set with vegetables. Coconut pudding. I grilled some local snappers. Rice porridge in Siem Reap Hope you enjoy your stay in Cambodia.
