  1. Mandarin is the name of the "group' that now owns and manages it. But going back. 1955 first time in BKK with my folks, The Oriental. 63 round the world trip with my folks The Oriental, First time back here as an adult 1978, showed off to my girlfriend and stayed at The Oriental. Been to many weddings, meetings, functions, and dinners at The Oriental. Never once heard a person Thai or farang call the hotel The Mandarin Oriental. We will save that for Always There. 😂🙃🤪
  2. It will always be The Oriental.
  3. I get these Ai generated adds while browsing here. Have a look could solve all your problems. You are ordering from Japan, go ahead and place one more from China. https://www.temu.com/th/moon_subject/un3.html?subj=dpa-un&_bg_fs=1&_p_jump_id=558&_x_vst_scene=adg&goods_id=601099614546412&sku_id=17592582667086&adg_ctx=a-d4d1673d~f-84a50293&_p_rfs=1&_x_ads_channel=facebook&_x_ads_creative_id=120213194827990603&_x_ads_id=120213194821080603&_x_ads_set=120213194791970603&_x_ads_sub_channel=shopping&_x_ns_catalog_id=608402004766482&_x_ns_gid=601099614546412&_x_ns_placement=Facebook_Desktop_Feed&_x_ns_product_id=17592582667086&_x_ns_site_id=129&_x_ns_source=fb&mrk_rec=1&_x_from=fb_dpa&_x_ads_account=524412703318539&utm_medium=paid&utm_source=fb&utm_id=120213194791970603&utm_content=120213194827990603&utm_term=120213194821080603&utm_campaign=120213194791970603&fbclid=IwY2xjawFh_vhleHRuA2FlbQEwAAEdZ5KEFy117mQJy3B1ZVa8dJhBEldN3KNbNpadWy6pUF7Xn-jrKftL31IL_aem_2Onu1YHm06hD-BGWG7qqag
  4. So you plan to plug it in in Japan and use a really long cord. Idiocy.
  5. Everything from your electric toothbrush to charging your car here is 220V and 50 HZ. How in the hell can you not know this if you are living here and in your own words "using 70,000 BTU Air Conditioning 24/7?
  6. Not living here I guess he did not know that former Prime Minister Yinglack Shinawatra had the sun filtration system up and running in only two years. Covers all beaches in Thailand except the sand beaches on the Mekong River.
  7. But also very factual. Have you noticed the anticipated price reduction? No I thought not..
  8. You never say why you are looking for him. Did he hurt you. Or possibly you want a native speaker for an English teacher. I for one would not apply as you spelled A bit wrong, Request wrong, Requirements wrong, and very difficult to do but you managed to spell All wrong. Now what is the post all about?
  9. 6,000 to 8,000B is a cheap phone. I use one just a bit more expensive Note 13. Much better dependability than the Samsung. "Do you think it is high end"?
  10. Any car speeding and hitting a stationary 18 wheel truck is going to be destroyed. Did you see what happened to the speeding Benz a few days ago? Nothing left. It seems you have a prejudice against Chinese made automobiles.
  11. I dont eat beef in Thailand very much as its tough with Thai beef, and expensive for imported. But the wife was out last night so I made up my steak sandwich with some fries. Some brown gravy and mushrooms and onions really added to it.
  12. Sadly in todays modern world you seem to have gotten 2 years plus out of a cheap phone. I cant see how you would qualify for a class action suit when the warranty for the phone was most likely one year. Bummer though..
  13. Seems like you dont know much. Each time I have flown home to the west coast of America for the last 40 years I have made stops in Tokyo, Taipei, Hong Kong and Seoul. I have yet to clear customs and my luggage is checked through. There is always a dedicated transfer area and you are kept well clear of customs. You do have to go through security again in some of them.
  14. Have you had a colonoscopy and or endoscopy? I ask as 3 years ago I had stomach and lower back pain for months. Finally I took the wife's advice and had these checks run. I had 3 ulcers, two in the stomach and one upper intestine. The correct meds cleared it up in a month or two.
  15. No I'm washing by hand as I don't have a lot of clothing, still looking for a good house so always ready to move the next day. No fragrances, all natural. I will be honest here. If I did my own wash it would look like yours. You are not getting your clothes clean enough or rinsing enough to start. Hand washing is not to be rushed. Do not dry your clothes in direct sun here, get them in the shade. Its too strong. In addition turn your shirts inside out as they dry. Its just they way its done. Good luck.
  16. You dont get it at all. How do you think he got back? Do you think a financial incentive was in order?
  17. In that case I apologise. You have been given a lot of good advice. Good luck. Once you start the car in motion google maps will talk you all the way to Buri Ram. A poster posted find out where in Buri Ram, this will be your problem not getting out of Pattaya.
  18. Trump makes a statement threating the Jewish people. RIght wing nutters come up with this. He has stolen your brains.
  19. I find the OP unbelievable. Who in the heck cant get to Buri Ram from Pattaya especially with Google Maps. Get on the slow bus dude!!
  20. Sensitive hard guy are you??? Suck it up
  21. Again you have absolutely no basis for this statement. Post the poll. Almost all polls are now showing a sharp jump up for Harris post debate. Swift endorsed her that night. Once again post some data showing that Taylor Swifts endorsement has in any way hurt Kamala Harris. You should realize the same register website she referred to has now over 1,000,000 new registrants.
  22. Many dogs have fear of heights. Plus cats have 9 lives thus reducing the fear. 🙃
  23. You sure about that? Here he is with one of his best friends, who he partied with often, and also spent time on his private island in the Caribbean.
  24. I am cutting back and pruning all my trees as they have gotten too thick and my front lawn is not getting enough sun, thus parts are thinning and dying. If you love a green grassy lawn dont put too many trees in. This is the lawn 4 months ago, but now the trees have caused it to thin in places.
