Distressing and Unprofessional Experience with AirAsia Thailand Ground Staff
Brits don't need a visa (or two blank pages) but do need 6 months left on their passport and a return/onward ticket. What did you say or do that made her change her mind? -

Malaysian tourist falls from Phuket hotel balcony onto parked car
A Malaysian tourist‘s trip to Phuket took a dramatic turn when she fell from a hotel balcony in Patong, landing on a parked car below. The incident occurred early today, November 1, sending shockwaves across the bustling tourist area. The local police in Patong responded swiftly to an emergency call at 4.37am, arriving at the hotel situated on Rat-U Thit 200 Pi Road. Upon arrival, police officers and rescue workers from the Kusoldharm Foundation found the 28 year old woman lying on the ground beside the damaged vehicle, suffering from multiple broken bones. Eyewitness accounts revealed that the tourist had been drinking in her room with her husband before the accident. She stepped out onto the balcony, from where she accidentally fell, crashing onto the car parked below. The vehicle, which bore Bangkok registration plates, sustained considerable damage from the impact. Rescue workers acted promptly, transporting the injured woman to Patong Hospital for immediate medical attention. The extent of her injuries necessitated swift action to ensure her recovery. Patong police officers stated that they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the fall, reported The Phuket News. Police are currently examining the incident to determine if any legal action is warranted concerning the damages incurred.

Vimovo - naproxen / esomeprazole
Some personal experience from the cheap seats... I've used Miracid brand omeprazole in Thailand since 2011 and always found it easily available, pretty cheap and it always works consistently. I tried some other brands, and had to double up on the 20mg dosage to get the relief. (Not saying there aren't other good brands, but Miracid in the green box has always been my go-to in Thailand. Made by Berlin Pharmaceuticals, who have a museum in Chinatown). -

Sub forum - restaurant reviews - Chiang Mai: Route 66
Preamble: "Restaurants" are a hot topic on any forum for expats -- anywhere in the world -- including this forum. I suggested to root admin to add a sub-forum for restaurant reviews. Hopefully it would self-organize with a separate thread for each restaurant. Root admin advised to start topics that could morph into a sub-forum. So here goes: And I suggest to others adding restaurant reviews to follow this title format: Sub forum - restaurant reviews - Chiang Mai: [restaurant name] ------------------ Route 66 is a new restaurant in Chiang Mai. Opened just 3 months ago. Menu American diner style. Almost exactly what I'd expect of any roadside dinner in the USA, 40-50-60 years ago. Expect to look up from studying the menu to see parking lot crowded with 18-wheelers. All-day breakfast, including pancakes, corned beef hash, biscuits & sausage gravy Home-made chili with cheese on top Pulled smoked pork sandwich with BBQ sauce and coleslaw inside the sandwich Wisconsin-style home-made bratwurst sausage Philly cheese steak and Italian meatball sub sandwiches Apple pie. Pecan pie. Banana splits Thai foods just one page, at the end of the menu, but variety looks suitable to bring your Thai friend. A full English breakfast, but I'm not qualified to comment on the taste. And no other specifically British foods: No savory pies, not chip buttie, no afternoon tea, either. Clearly focused on American foods. I've been there twice: Clean, neat, well organized -- which tells me management is farang, and that's a good omen for the future of this restaurant. Service quick and with a smile. Waitresses very helpful and quite good English. Eager to make sure we got exactly what we wanted, not just rush to take the order. On of the things I liked best about Route 66, is the food comes to the table hot, or at least still warm. Delivering hot food hot is not a Thai tradition. So this was a pleasant treat. Could improve if the plates were warmed before putting on the food, but that custom seems unknown in these parts. I can recommend (and my taste buds are 100% USA born and bred): - pancakes: good taste, soft and fluffy texture, good quality ingredients (i.e. NOT "Imperial" pancake mix.) but syrup was "corn syrup" imitation flavour, not even close to real maple syrup. - scrambled eggs: cooked just right, no added anything, but could improve if cooked in butter. - home-fry potatoes: cooked just right, not slightly raw as in some restaurants with Thai cooks in the kitchen - fried shrimp with Sriracha-mayo sauce: I didn't taste this, but got a good report from my Thai companion who scarfed up every bite. But no restaurant is perfect: - Those nice home-fries were doused with chili powder. Ugh! I didn't enjoy at all, but some farang will. When I discussed with waitress, she instantly understood the problem of chili powder on the potatoes. And advised next time to order: "Potato: no preek". So apparently I'm not the only one to complain about that. Lots of parking for motorcycles in front and cars around back. Ramp for wheel chair, but looks like a very narrow ramp -- more like just a "thought" than a use-able ramp. Clean toilets. I just discovered Route 66 last week. Already went back this week for another meal. Major shortcoming for many expats, is location out on the Outer Ring Road. The OUTER ring road. Might as well be in Shaghai as far as some of my fellow expats are concerned. And no song-taew from the moat area, as far as I know. I recommend this restaurant for any American craving the authentic taste of home. And not just "back home", but the taste and quality of years ago in the USA.

Comments and critique welcome. -
