  1. Actual meals that you have tried, along with pictures and your reviews? My local seafood restaurant puts crab in dishes. Does it make it super-luxury? Crab omelette, 100 baht, Crab fried rice 70/80 baht. You are paying extra for presentation and ambience. Personally I tend to cook my own curries, as I can control the quality of the ingredients. Freshly squeezed coconut milk for instance. Many places will use UHT coconut milk. Usually a disappointment as it rarely as it should be. Sometime just looking like a milky soup.
  2. Hardly super-creative, luxury foods. But hey, you have to post somewhere 😊 Green curry in Texas? Why does anyone need to know about that? I would like to read about the something different that the OP has described, not everyday run-of-the-mill foods. Sorry if your feelings get hurt. But your reply has nothing to do with the topic.
  3. Your statements aren't matching up. You've mentioned a Pad Thai, a steamed Sea bass and Khao Soi with crabmeat. To what kind of super creative food are you referring? I'm lucky enough to live close to the sea and close to seafood markets, so an abundance of seafood is almost a normality and not at all expensive. So I'm actually interested in the super-creative luxury dining. But what is it? When I have attended more upmarket restaurants, the main difference is the presentation. usually beautifully presented, with carved vegetables and edible flowers and possibly a higher quality of ingredient. But in all honesty, I haven't ever had a, for instance, Green Curry, that was better than home made.
  4. Which college at Oxford University? Oxford Brookes?
  5. Always read the reviews before committing yourself: https://apps.apple.com/sk/app/photica-ghibli-live-photo/id6673907297?see-all=reviews
  6. Try learning to post screenshots. No one understands what you are going on about.

    Learn to make your own. You won't ever go back to a shop bought one. I marinate the meat with coriander, garlic, chillies and Indian curry powder and olive oil for a day and then roast it in the oven. I make my own houmous. Freshly baked pita bread from a local supplier. Pack the pita with the sizzling meat, houmous, chopped tomato and cucumber and pour over a yogurt sauce(made with yoghurt, coriander seasoning) made earlier and a little lemon juice. Nothing you had before can compare.
  8. No...you wrote: Just a nonsensical word salad. Sexpat is a Expat that pays for play. Simple. No need for a ridiculous word salad every time.
  9. Nothing to do with the country and everything to do with the person.
  10. Where did I back him? That's just your childish playground mentality.
  11. I agree with your first sentence. But a Sexpat is an Expat. Of course @MalcolmB is stretching it when he states that everyone...but anyone with even the slightest amount of intelligence would understand that he is taking the p... Expats in genuine relationships are not Sexpats. Expats who pay for play are Sexpats. But a Sexpat has to be an Expat.
  12. NO, a Sexpat has to be an Expat. A tourist is a Sex Tourist. Do you think continuing to argue when you are so obviously wrong, earns you any respect?
  13. Just weird. You've been proved wrong, but yet you still try to pretend that you are right and everyone else is wrong. Pathological.
  14. You read the definition again and then compare it with what you claimed: You were wrong. A Sexpat is an Expat, not a Tourist.
  15. Sorry but you are just babbling. I arrived thirty five years ago, so have a better idea of how things really are than you. Thirty five years later, people are still arriving. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
  16. Wiktionary, the free dictionary https://en.wiktionary.org › wiki › sexpat sexpat (plural sexpats). (slang) An expatriate who engages in sex tourism. 2010, Erich R. Sysak, Water Heart : They weren't all just sexpats and drifters ... You are making up your own meanings and then trying to convince us that yours is the right one. You aren't and it is not.
  17. I don't. But then I'm not officially an expat and you don't know me 😊
  18. Foreigner centric nonsense. Those poor women down south in Thailand got bequeathed with the lowly beachfront land whilst their privileged brothers got left the agricultural land. See how that worked out... When you mix with the lowest rungs of society, you see a picture from that perspective. I don't think Paetongtarn Shinawatra would share your views, nor any of the successful Thai women that I know. They seem to be doing okay in the 'terrible' environment that you describe. If the flights weren't so expensive, people would still be flocking to Thailand from the West. Looking forward to reading your posts from the good ole USA. When's that going to happen?
  19. Italian restaurant owner did that with me, to push me towards their expensive Specials. Didn't ever grace their doors again. Perhaps their foreign bosses train them to do that...
  20. Not much different from one Donald Trump to be fair. We also have his Internet Trolls here.
  21. 4. The one who gets criticised by the person to dim to understand the advice given and too arrogant to say thank you. I guess we are going to see a lot more of you around here. Perhaps within the Linux section? The question still stands? How is it possible that you failed to successfully download Linux Mint, when there are one hundred and one options to do so? That is a legitimate question as to your general competence. If you cannot even do that, how successful might you be at using Terminal? I'm not sure that you'll be able to follow any instructions given. That is my opinion. Sorry if it hurts your feelings.
  22. Is there something not quite right with you? That IS the label in your picture. You know...the one you claimed was not there and didn't contain user data. You seem more interested in making a fool of yourself, than finding a solution and being grateful. So, get over yourself and let us know the result of the likely Username and Password you have been given. Remember that you were given a Username and Password in the original video. Did you even try that first? If that didn't work, then the second option that I gave you, should.

  24. Actually it was Ghislane who 'recruited' her from Mar a Lago, when she was sixteen, I'm not sure if it was her father that John Barron/Donald Trump was referring to as 'going ape<deleted>' when he found out. John Barron/Donald Trump reportedly lied about her being eighteen at the time. He was fond of calling newspapers pretending to be a spokesman for Donald Trump. https://nypost.com/2016/05/13/donald-trump-says-he-never-posed-as-his-own-spokesman
