Re: 1960 Restaurant, Kampot

As for the prawns, I never order prawns the kitchen can't be bothered to peel. I hate eating with my hands, so the idea of having to peel them when cooked in a sauce is a non-starter for me. Yeah it can be a mess. About the only skill I learned in Thailand is how to peel prawns using a fork and a s...

Re: Anyone still in Crypto?

Jesus Christ that RGX site looks extremely amateurish / shoddy. If feels like, once it starts getting some volume, some clueless son of an Okhna is gonna put a couple of millions in there and poof it's gonna get stolen off the exchange because someone left the "cold wallet" passwords in a...

Re: anyone applied for Thai DTV visa in Cambodia embassy?

From reports I've seen, the Thai embassy in Phnom Penh seems to be one of the best nearby places to apply for a DTV. As you wrote, it's all eVisa now, so you travel to Cambodia, apply and stay in Cambodia until the eVisa has been issued. Which documents you need depend on the DTV category you're app...

Re: Watch out for this dodgy "teacher".

That would make for an interesting "life achievements" section if he was truthful. Why on Earth can someone like him get a passport again, after being imprisoned for sex crimes back home twice and when it is known that he committed sex crimes abroad as well? He should be given a lifetime p...

Re: American man faces dilemma as Thai girlfriend’s parents demand 1 million baht dowry

I've been led to understand that bride price in Thailand is mostly symbolic. The parents will not keep the money, they'll be returned to the married couple after the ceremony. Unlike in Cambodia, which has a more traditional tradition here. with 27k usd... i would hope they remember it. also, placi...

Re: Are they really that aggressive towards tourists?

Can't really comment on the original story, but Thailand is the only country where I've been randomly stopped and frisked by police (in Bangkok) and encountered really drunk police on duty (Hua Hin or thereabouts). I've never even talked to police in Laos, Vietnam or Cambodia. Without seeing a pict...

Re: Are they really that aggressive towards tourists?

Those incidents are rare when you take the high number of foreign tourists who visit Thailand into account. Having lived in Thailand for almost 20 years and having done my fair share of stumbling around drunk at night without any incidents, I can say that Thais aren't out to assault foreigners for n...
