  1. I just wondered how they manage to keep the food so clean in this tropical environment, I eat everything from the foodstalls, never regretted it. Only certain foods made from innerts or (to my pallate) exessive chilie I stay away from.

    I even have varieties of 'laab dip'-raw ground meat- frequently.

    Compare this to some of the neighbouring countries, where I wouldn't touch a tin of Heinz cream of mushroom soup after examining the can opener.

    Any anecdotes or health warnings out there?

  2. It is called 'INTERNATIONAL DRIVING PERMIT', it is not a license in itself, but only in connection with a national driving license and is valid for temporary use only, this was explained to me by my issuing office (London main post office).

    Staying in Thailand on a non-imm. visa does not only entitle one to acquire a Thai national driving license, but it is required to have one to drive vehicles.

    I can't remember where I looked this up, it is some years ago...

  3. Not only in Thailand, but in the Philippines as well.

    Some years ago, early 80's actually, there were a couple of guys married to a couple of Thai women. These guys liked to go to the bars and play with the hoes there.

    After a while, the wives got tired of it (surprise, surprise)

    One night one of the guys came home drunk and passed out on the bed. The wife patiently sewed the top and bottom sheets together and proceeded to beat the living sh*t out of him with a baseball bat. Lots of broken bones there.

    The other one also went home drunk one night after partying. While he was laying on the bed undressed, the wife heated a pot of oil on the stove and then poured it right on the family jewels. He spent several weeks in the burn unit at the hospital.

    True stories, ladies and gents. My wife heard them second-hand when we were there from other Thais who knew them.

    ...from other Thais, in the Philippines? Not a grain of bola-bola in this story, for sure.
