A bit of Thai sticky rice dipped in the spicy-sour juice from some Larb Gai. A bit of finely-chopped mint and cilantro mixed in. Pretty unbeatable.

Marriage material!

For those up north, try "By Hand Pizza Cafe" - 25 Moon Muang Rd Lane 7, Tambon Si Phum, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50200 Wood fired oven. Great stuff.

There’s a place in Bangkok that makes a massive pizza shaped like one giant slice. It’s huge, probably enough to feed around 10 people. I saw an ad for it online once, but now I can’t find it. When they serve it, they cut the whole thing up into small pieces, but the pizza itself is literally just one oversized slice. I know there’s a place near Khao San called Casa Picasso that does very large slices, but I haven’t been there yet and I don’t think that’s the one I saw in the ad. Anyone know the place I’m talking about, the one that does those massive rectangular pizzas shaped like a single slice?

They accept both cash and credit/debit card. Normally I pay them in cash.

That salty, oily cheese they use is exactly like NYC pizza. Perfect. I usually ask them to heat up the slice to make it extra hot because I like the cheese melted. Perfect. Also, a few weeks ago I ordered a couple of slices there. I then decided not to eat them both, so I asked them if they could bag the second one. They were very nice and put it in a cardboard box and then in a plastic bag with carry handles.

For Pattaya have you ever tried Pizza Big in Naklua? It's been there for at least 20 years. Real wood-fired oven making plate size pizzas. Very authentic Italian style. No gut bomb effect, but a very classic taste.

Not sure if you like New York pizza, but have you ever had a slice from Soho Pizza in Sukhumvit Soi 11? It's about 90% pure mainlining of NYC pizza flavor. A dash more sauce with a touch more oregano in the sauce and it would be a near perfect copy.

For me, it’s gotta be a margarita. That’s the true test of a pizza, no distractions, no fancy toppings trying to show off, just pure pizza doing its thing. Sometimes I’ll throw a bit of pepperoni on there if I’m feeling cheeky, like I’m living dangerously. And when I really wanna test the quality, I’ll shove a slice in the fridge overnight and eat it stone cold in the morning like some kind of pizza connoisseur with a hangover who’s just given up on life. That’s when you really find out if it’s the good stuff. What about you?

Just another bankrupt topic from the resident low-budget troll.

Agree. A big risk. You don't want to advertise. Better to keep a low profile.

No, wives are a liability. Look at Macron. They should be the first thing to go.

You're good 👍🏼 Things are much more precarious though for the millions living in cities.

Sure. But for just a couple of days you could survive on boiled pasta or rice. I don't keep lots of food stores, but I have a couple of kilos of dried pasta on hand. The challenge might be finding a way to boil it without having a gas burner.

A friend of mine was caught in Europe during the power outages in April that I mentioned and he said it was a mess. If he just had as little as some extra cash on hand, a flashlight, an old school radio, and a power bank he probably would've been fine.
