  1. consuming your own food on AA, is against their rules...just sayin'.

    My all time favorite....Genova Deli, Oakland....attachicon.gifgenovadeli.jpg

    The thing is, that the high quality deli stuff they use, would be well over 1000 thb per Kg here, so it just ain't gonna happen.

    I used to work right next store to this deli at a stained glass shop in the 70's. great aroma when you walk in

  2. The last time I saw this cartoon was back in the 60's. The Grateful Dead was using it as part of their light show playing behind the band. Of course "Sunshine" had a different connotation back then.

    Seeing the toppling itself is nicer still.

    A nice OP followed by four negative ones. One can only hope that you topple as a form of poetic justice.

    While I don't hope that anyone has an accident, I think you'll see that this sort of 1 positive post followed by several negatives are the norm in ThaiVisa. Some people just don't like others to be happy.

    When ever this happens (which is rather often,) it reminds me of the classic Van Beuren cartoon of the mid '30's called "The Sunshine Makers."

    It's well worth the few minutes to watch it. You'll see what I mean. smile.png

  3. I have been flying drones for a couple of years now and it cracks me up when someone complains about the possibility of having their privacy violated. They should be more worried about someone with a DSLR and a 500mm lens. The cameras on drones are good for landscape photography , they have no zoom capabilities and they cannot sneak up on you, they have flashing lights and you can hear them coming from a mile away. Get over it .

  4. Just the kind of defense of totalitarian rule that you would expect from that yellow rag, The Nation.

    Marshall's book, however, overemphasizes the importance of the succession in the ongoing Thai political crisis. Other commentators like Patrick Jory or Pavin Chachavalpongpun make the point that it is the preservation of the political and economic dominance of the elites as against the majority of Thais that is the core issue.

    This piece, for instance:

    Good read, I am surprised it's not banned

  5. I like SP but their birds seem to be much smaller than 5 star and higher in price. It seems many 5 star places are deep-frying now which is something I try to avoid,although I like their rotisserie. Ulysses maybe the one you are thinking about near Gekkos is a deep fry place that opens at about 10:00 pm till 3:00 or so.

  6. O.K. so I familiar with the SP 5 Star places around town and the semi famous one over by Wat Pharsing. I am looking for non chain store chicken in the old city. I know on the road to Doi Saket they have some on the roadside but I am looking for Old City or fairly close. MY Thai partners says there is no word for

    Rotisserie in Thai. They only have Gai Yan. She is usually right about stuff like this but I am always skeptical. I had a favorite place that rubbed it down with lemon grass and herbs but alas He stopped and now just sells grilled fish. Any suggestions, except cook my own, would be appreciated.

    Thanks
