Yeah, slavery wasn't that bad was it.

Why do Americans call it a trunk, unless it's attached to an elephant?

Commas, full stops. They were invented for a reason.

I also like Jack's Bar on the river. Quite / very basic but right on the water, normal prices, nice views. Sanwiched in between the Shangri-La and Oriental, five minute stumble from Saphin Taksin BTS. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g293916-d2068476-Reviews-or30-Jack_s_Bar-Bangkok.html

+1. Propaganda is a great little spot.

Personal choice but I find the Robin Hood a bit depressing. It's got a lot going for it - it feels like a real pub, just has no atmosphere.

Interesting topic to read some of the stories. I'm in my 30th year here, arrived just before Christmas in 1995. Left the UK aged 21 to accept a job offer in Hong Kong, thinking I would do a year then go back to the UK. After six months they asked me if I could help out at their sister company in Bangkok to cover for someone who was going on leave for three weeks - long story short he didn't come back and they asked me to stay. The thing is I was in love with Hong Kong and had got settled, made some friends, and hated it here - dirty, smelly, dusty, no infrastructure, starting over again not knowing anyone. After some negotiation they persuaded me to stay (ie offered me a load more money) so I thought I'd give it a go. Within a couple of months I was in love with the place and the people and on trips back to HK to visit friends I found it cold and cynical. Here the warmth was incredible, I was so well looked after and the people were fun! In HK none of the guys in the office were friendly (well only one was and I'm still in touch with him), only the girls - here everyone was super welcoming. Also the work here was great - I work in advertising production and post production and the Thai industry back then was wild and creative and different. It still has its moments today, but not the same. 30 years later, still here, still in the same industry, married, kids. Visit the UK once or twice a year to visit family but it is not home any more. On visits back everything is the same, grey, dull, but here there's energy, excitement, a buzz, the city is alive. Asia is where it's at and Thailand is the place for me.

Oh dear, poor little persecuted Nick, white people are hard done by. Diversity is a hugely famous dance troupe in the UK and that is them in the picture and in the musical pantomine Robin Hood. Ashley Banjo - the leader of Diversity - was awarded an MBE for services to dance. They are on TV all the time and are - I'll say it again for you - a hugely famous dance troupe called Diversity. You've really excelled yourself this time.

Yeah, the IDF however always tells the truth.

Wow, so nothing happened, but you've taken that to but something much much bigger could happen, it could be deadly and then someone could evade responsibility. Basically a load of meaningless nonsense.

And to think some cruel people say Trump supporters are ignorant and uneducated loons....

1. How much is it? 2. Why is the red one cold and the white one warm?

So that's two deflections now. No attempt at answering a simple question. Why is that?

Trap? What are you talking about? How is China not buying American aircraft damaging the Chinese economy?

What? I asked you a question about your claim that China is damaging their economy by not buying Boeing. And you andwered with some weird question about Trump. I know you are obsessed with him but I am not asking about him. How is China not buying American aircraft damaging the Chinese economy?

How is China not buying American aircraft damaging the Chinese economy? Explain your weird logic.

How is it punishing Chinese people? They can now buy comfier and better built aircraft that are less likely to fall out of the sky - a win win for China. You do know Boeing is the only plane maker, right? (Actually wouldn't be surprised if you did think that)

Never been to Sukhumvit??? Most Thai Indians have been here for generations.

Sorry, do you like shouting random words? Do you have tourettes? What has MONEY got to do with citizenship being afforded to people born here to naturalised grandparents and great grandparents? Most of the Indian Thais have been here for for generations. Just another stupid post.

Wow, what's with the grown adults getting upset with emojis? It's really pathetic, it truly is. I honestly don't understand.

Emirates super saver business you do not get free seat selection unless you are Silver or above.

Wow, you are really out of touch. Half of Sukhumvit is owned by Thai-Indians. A lot of hotels are too. There are literally hundreds of thousands of them.

True, but personally not comfortable taking that risk and getting stuck in the middle for a long haul flight.

No they didn't. And Pepsi is still here as well as Est cola.

The OP was asking about the stop on the Chonburi Motorway. There is only one stopping place with shops and restaurants on the motorway. He was not asking where to find 7-Elevens in the country, but I think you knew that and just felt like being obtuse.
