  1. Chicken in Thai is slang for a sex worker. Is that what you meant about eating chicken?
  2. What is your version of the perfect afternoon in Bangkok? Is it a workout at the gym followed by a protein drink from 7-11? Lunch at The Oriental Hotel? A Thai oil massage followed by a happy ending? A trip to a crowded shopping mall and a wander around aimlessly buying stuff you don't need? A couple of Guinness at the pub followed by a short-time? A hot-pot lunch followed by an afternoon film in the theater? A boat ride on the river from Taksin Bridge up to the Grand Palace? A wander around the bustling fresh markets in China Town? Surfing the net and reading annoying posts on AN like this one? A run around Lumpini Park followed by some good street food along the backside of the park? A trip to the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC)? Stocking up on supplies at Lotus, Big-C or Makro? A visit to Kinokunia Book store followed by a good cup of coffee? Buying a bunch of fruit at Or Tor Kor Market? A fat spliff, followed by 3 chocolate bars, then contemplating your navel for hours and never leaving your bed? Or something completely different?
  3. All completely anecdotal. You need to routinely look at your own blood work and see how it's affecting your own body. First need all the following kidney tests to establish a baseline: BUN Blood Creatinine Crystatin C Blood Albumin Urine Protein Urine Creatinine Urine Albumin Or just ignore it all completely, which sounds like what you prefer.
  4. Your doing the body builder routine of 1 gram per pound of body weight. Overrated and not that much is needed if not a body builder. And after age 50 too much strain on the kidneys. Creatine definitely not good either. Take a look at your eGFR. If low then get these additional diagnostic tests: Blood Albumin Urine Protein Urine Creatinine Urine Albumin Crystatin C If all not so good then ease up on the protein and creatine and drink more green tea.
  5. Good boy. Sounds like all you need is another 4-5 protein shakes per day and you'll be rocking.
  6. Is that what you routinely think?
  7. They usually get rid of all my headaches and help provide a big release.
  8. I routinely have no routine.
  9. I've been eating a lot of the Lindt stuff for years. There was even a class action against them. Not sure why it was dismissed. https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-safety/lead-and-cadmium-in-dark-chocolate-a8480295550 https://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/consumer-products/food/lindt-dark-chocolate-class-action-claims-some-products-contain-lead-cadmium
  10. I was wondering why I've been looking more like Iron Man lately.
  11. You are supposed to take the foil wrapping off first.
  12. I just tried Booking forJuly 15th for one night via the app. For me it was higher. That site also doesn't add taxes until checkout, but at least lists them up front. I also got two different prices based on one adult versus two adults staying in the room. About 80 Baht higher for two adults.
  13. Praise those e-bike batteries. 😉
  14. The 10%, 1-2 hour discount has never made any difference for me. I stopped using it.
  15. Great. What time should I meet you there? Booking and Agoda are owned by the same parent company. Also, need to be careful though. Some sites don't show final price with taxes until last screen. Agoda shows final price up front. Trip.com is trickier and shows cheap price at first and then adds tax at checkout.
  16. I just tried it again. Now it's dropped to 712 Baht.
  17. Are you on VPN with a Western IP address? Best to always use Thai IP. Prices tend to be lower for domestic users. In fact, many travel sites serve different prices based on user location. It may not change much if logged into an existing account, but anonymous users often find location helps with pricing.
  18. Only a square??? I do 100 grams a day.
  19. I'm getting 718 Baht in the app. May have something to do with membership tier. Anyway, close enough.
  20. Banana 30 grams of nuts Protein drink Read annoying posts on AN Waank Back to sleep
  21. Try July 15th for one night. I'm getting 718 Baht all in. It changes from day to day. Booking a few days in advance is usually less.
  22. Thanks. No joke, but a few years ago I accidentally got some of that bathroom cleaning chemical on my skin on my body and broke out in a serious and inflamed deep red rash that was a bit painful and itchy. Took a couple of weeks of applying hydrocortisone cream to to it 2-3 times per day to get rid of it. Since then I've stopped using all of those harsh chemicals around the home completely. Even the fumes are very toxic to breathe in. I threw them all away. I now clean everything with clear white vinegar. It works as good, if not better than any bathroom cleaner. Mix it half/half with dish washing liquid and put it in a spray bottle. Then spray it on anything and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes. Then rinse it off with cold water and everything is removed; lime scale, mold, fungus, dirt, etc. Great for faucets, tile walls, toilets, glass shower doors, mirrors, etc. Natural and non/toxic and 3 liters for only 60 Baht.
  23. How much for 19 minutes?
