The somtum looks as if there is no suace or chilli....

I would take a guess that is because it has not been "pounded"yet.Som tum always tastes best right out of the "crock".

MUST be made and eaten fresh! Yummy.

Seems we follow the same schedule corkscrew! I made a Thai meal for my family, laab, tom kha gai and stir-fried kale with pork and garlic. I was amazed to find fresh lemongrass at the local Safeway. Made it mildly spicy, my sister couldn't eat much, dad ate more and my sister's boyfriend (from Texas) wished it had been spicier.

Sort Out My Mac Mini..PLEASE.!

leverito · 17 hours ago17 hr

Hello AN family! I'm going to be honest with you — I'm a bit tired and frustrated at this point, so I'm turning to this community with real hope! I have a Mac mini that needs to be properly connected to a monitor, and what sounds like a simple task has turned into quite an adventure. I've already welcomed several "specialists" from Tukom and nearby shops into my home — lovely people, but unfortunately none of them managed to finish the job properly. The monitor works, yes — but the picture qual

When the Iran War Ends What Would Constitute Victory for the US?

Alan Zweibel · 9 hours ago9 hr

Would only the unconditional surrender of the Iranian government qualify? Would survival of the government but surrender of their nuclear stockpile qualify? Would guarantees of freedom for the Iranian people along with the survival of the government qualify? Would freedom for the iranian people and surrender of the nuclear stockpile qualify? Would surivival of the government, no nuclear stockpile and cessation of support for allies outside the country qualify? Obviously, there are other possible

Volume in Stock and Oil Futures Surges 15 Minutes Before TACO Time

Wingate · 1 hour ago1 hr

As Lewis Carroll wrote, it gets curioser and curioser. CNBC is reporting that volume in stock and oil futures experienced a sudden surge in volume at 0650 New York time Monday morning. Fifteen minutes later, as 0705, Trump posted his tweet on his social media account, claiming progress had been made in talks with Iran, and that Trump was holding off on striking Iranian power stations and oil facilities for five days. There is no reasonable explanation for why volume would suddenly surge. "So

Fuel crisis deepens as drivers line up with jerry cans before sunrise

bannork · 6 hours ago6 hr

The fuel crisis deepened as drivers lined up with jerry cans before sunrise in Thailand amid chaos in the Middle East. Footage shows a long queue of motorists waiting to refill vehicles at a station in Songkhla on March 23. One local said: 'I had to wake up at 2 am to place jerry cans in line before the station opened at 6 am because the cans placed at the opening would already be near the hundredth position in the queue.' Authorities reported that shrimp farm owners, sea bass pond operators

Not talking about the obvious stuff that brings most of us here initially. I mean the longer term decision to actually settle down with a Thai woman specifically. Looking back I think the relationship dynamic played a bigger part in my choice than I ever admitted at the time. The roles are just... clear. He provides, she takes care of the home and family. No blurred lines, no competition for the same space, no ongoing negotiation about who does what and why or whose in charge! That model large

The Cobra · 1 hour ago1 hr

Been thinking about the different types of foreigners who end up living in Thailand long-term. You see the same recognisable patterns over and over: the retiree stretching a pension, the guy who came for a holiday and never left, the English teacher buying time, the businessman in his Bangkok bubble, the digital nomad in a café. Most labels like this feel like they were written about someone else. The retired guy who's genuinely happy and integrated into his community doesn't see himself as the

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand ?

The Cobra · 22 hours ago22 hr

Do you actually get out and explore Thailand, or just the same general radius of where you live ? Been here long enough to have seen my own province thoroughly, and I've started pushing further out. Thailand rewards you for it if you can be bothered. Two places I can actually vouch for in the Chiang Rai area that most foreigners skip entirely: Phu Chi Fa — about 90km from Chiang Rai city, right on the Laos border at 1,628 metres. Free entry. The sunrise draws crowds of Thais in winter (Nov–Fe
