Land of Smiles

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Thais love to have Japanese food once can find most Fuji restaurants crowded all the time however Sushi Hiro is unlike these "fast food Fuji". Sushi Hiro is very authentic Japanese.

Phuket being a tourist area I would have thought it will be more expensive. Good to know. Thanks for sharing.

I was actually planning to come over this week for the Cambodia Architect & Decor trade show held at Diamond Island Convention and Exhibition Center starting today and ending on Saturday but I have to attend to an important bidding exercise for a major 1 year contract to supply sealants to a big developer here. So instead my boss send 6 staff over for that trade show to look for potential customers. Hope they will have good news when they are back this weekend. In the mean time I have to wait for the next trip. Sigh.
