I wonder about their taste buds if they need hot. 1 minute ago, torturedsole said: What the Shakin' Stevens does that mean. Hot or not hot, tepid, not iced. Jeez. I thought my comment was clear enough. I'll give it one more go for you if you like: When you are ordering a hot coffee in Thailand you are ordering a coffee that has been made with hot water and doesn't contain ice. The other options are iced coffee or ice blended coffee. The fact that you have ordered a hot coffee, means that you are ordering a coffee that doesn't contain ice. It doe not guarantee it will be any particular temperature. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I buy a steak, then I'll be asked how I would like it cooked. It's really not hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ordered a hot coffee and got a hot coffee, as the term is understood in this country [not iced] If he'd wanted it extra hot he should have asked for extra hot. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denim Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 A couple of days ago I took my wife to Korat to visit her sick brother in hospital. I decided to wait in the on site Dunkin Donuts to suck up the air and wifi for an hour. Ordered a hot cappuccino and donut with low expectations. Donut was free and fresh ( promotion ) and the cappuccino was really good. Piping hot in a big cup. Price...50 baht. Don't know if this is par for the course but way better than all the Amazons I have tried. We then returned to our Presidential Suite at our hotel. Well, why slum it like Steven when you can have a suite ( This is true not a joke. Amazing value for less than 1000 baht ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, let it out....won't hurt. For less than 900 baht we had a bedroom , a living room , two bathrooms, a kitchen with electric hob and microwave etc , two air conditioners and comfy sofa. The coffee shop also did a very good breaky for 80 baht. 3 minute walk from The Mall Korat !! What more could any man want. I spent almost as much on a bottle of wine from the Gourmet food court there. But , if you really want to laugh , PM me and I will send you pics of me having a hot bubble bath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't really care much to be honest , just wanted somewhere close to The Mall. We paid 810 I think. Just turned up without booking. But hey, my main point is about the surprisingly good coffee I got from Dunkin Donuts. Always found Amazon to be crap. Small cups half full of lukewarm coffee served by indifferent staff. Even a 7/11 coffee beats Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freedomnow Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 3 hours ago, Mac Mickmanus said: Coffee shops serve warm coffee and not boiling hot coffee because cups of boing coffee take time to cool down and that causes customers to sit around for longer and less business for the shop . You go to coffee shops for a coffee , you don't get a guaranteed smile with your coffee and staff shouldn't be forced to smile at customers No, in actual fact you pour coffee below absolute boil point so as to let more of the taste through.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little Bangkok. Interesting place too. Unfortunately , couldn't stay longer than 1 night as disabled MIL was screaming blue murder for wife ( main carer ) to hurry back and resume her duties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
