Not such a stupid question, why go yourself when someone else can do it for you?

I have lived here for 17 years and have NEVER done it myself...my accountant does it.

They may not realize it now, but they will eventually.

It is a sad day for Thailand.

A very sad day. This is not a democracy, it is all about money.

Last night my g/f's mother confirmed that all 7 members of her family and virtually everyone in the village (Korat) received 300thb each.

It is a bloody disgrace.

Guys, it is the 1st of April...April fools day? Some of you will believe anything.

If your interest is Thai/Farang restaurants serving overpriced Thai food...i cannot help you as i do not frequent these type of places.

I also live near the Heroines monument and can recommend several good value restaurants for takeaway or sit down.

Noodle shop: About 1km north of the Heroines on the left, opposite what used to be an ATV dealership. Bamee noodles with pork and dumplings, 30thb. Their vegetarian spring rolls are absolutely delicious, spicy, 20thb.

Carry on further north about 4km, past the school, you will see a green Muslim temple. Immediately next door, before the temple, Kow Man Gai. 35thb.

Head towards Cherng Talay, about 400m before the traffic lights, about 50m before the car wash, small restaurant on the right called carrot. Food here is excellent with most dishes priced around 40thb. My favorite here is fried yellow noodles with chicken, 35thb. Popular with local farang.

50m further on, opposite the car wash, is a restaurant called 25. The food here is excellent and i used to use this place at least once a week for about 1 year. Then one day noted that a Thai sitting at the next table had 3 dishes in front of him, his bill came to 120thb. My green curry was 80thb. I checked the menu's and found that there are 2 menu's, one for Thai's one for farang. The farang menu is double that of the Thai. I have never been back since, but if you don't mind being overpriced...still cheap compared to any restaurant catering to farang...then go for it. The food is very good. Many local farang eat there.
