  1. Any idea when the water fights will stop completely - I believe I read that Thursday is the last day of the holiday although I know of one company who work internationally in Bangkok and they are returning to work on Thursday, most of their clients are abroad though.

  2. It does have that real dense 'super premium' as they call it texture which is great, there's almost no air mixed into the HD ice cream, that's what I really like about it. The Swenson stuff seems much lighter by comparison from what I remember although It's been a long time since I got some Swensons, they do sell it online at pizza.co.th by the tub along with your pizza order which is handy.

  3. Why .. simple .. If you cannot find soup in BKK you must a

    that "special" child sitting in the the special small yellow bus

    that take the "special" child to school

    Not so, I was looking for a specific western style of soup and having shopped around in Tesco and The Emporium over the last month or two I haven't come across any. Based on my experience reading this forum over the last couple of years I knew without a doubt that someone here would be able to tell me what to get and where to get it from. I was right.

  4. The immigration is adding those foreign protestant to the blacklist. Good luck to anyone who wish to join the rally. Don't be surprise if you are being refused to re-enter the kingdom.

    Oh really, how do you know this ? Did you just make it up or is it a wild assumption ?

  5. Just wondering. Is there a western soup specialty restaurant in Bangkok? Kind of like the Soup Nazi place in Seinfeld? It might work in Bangkok for the expat crowd.

    That would be cool, great episode of Seinfeld by the way. It's one of my favourite TV shows of all time, that and Curb Your Enthusiasm which is also a Larry David creation.

  6. I'd really like to find a place where I can buy some good soup from. I'm looking for both fresh and tinned. Personally I am not so keen on Campbell's but prefer Heinz cream of tomato in the tinned variety, it's lovely.

    Any ideas ? I went shopping at the Emporium a few days ago and all I could see is Campbells chicken soup which to put it bluntly is crap.

    They do have some good cheese there though - Mainland Vintage Cheddar - top notch stuff from New Zealand !

  7. I think the 'farangs' involved in these protests would probably be the last people in their homelands to join a similar protest back 'home'.

    I think the UK and US are in need of political revolution. Will we see any of them who are partaking in the current sponsorship fly back and start something back there?

    Of course not - they live in Thailand now. Pure drivel.

  8. You could buy a cheap JigSaw and cut it yourself. Some of the perspex can be scored and 'snapped' like a tile, it depends on the thickness, I just used a jigsaw when I needed to cut some myself back in England. Get a fine 'blade' for it, the finest you can find.

    This is a jigsaw in case they call it something different where you come from :

  9. Almost all MBK shops on the 6th floor buy from Pratunam, so better head over there as you will buy the same thing but for almost half the price.

    If you can be bothered, go to Bobae market, even cheaper.

    This is interesting, I'll definitely have to check out this Pratunam market, does anyone know what time it opens and closes ?

  10. Songkran - crap - just an excuse for morons to 'give it the large'.

    A mass brawl nearly broke out on walking street in Pattaya a few years back after some stupid woman (English) ran out in the street and shot me and about ten of my friends in the face with a high pressured water gun, one of my friends grabbed it and smashed it to pieces, then several of her male ape like friends got up running around with their 'wife beater' shirts on, the end result was they bottled it when we stood up to them and the girl realising she had caused a whole bunch of trouble when the police started running around blowing whistles started crying. Have fun - it's great !

    Before this incident I had never had an eye infection in my life before, I developed a 'stye' a few days later, it went with a course of Amoxicillin antibiotics but this returned at least seven or eight times over the following couple of years.

    We weren't wearing beach wear, smart shirts and trousers / jeans with shoes and socks, not the kind of clothes you want to get wet in. We'd just been for a nice dinner together and went to walking street for a few drinks when we came across these morons. Once the mayhem had quietened down one of them told one of us he was a cop in England and he's lucky he didn't get arrested ! Punks.

    Full moon party - I stopped going to 'raves' when I was about 20, that was a long time ago. You are really putting yourself in a risky situation going to this place, you are a target, better stay with the herd or something will likely happen.
