Re: Thai curry paste and coconut milk?

Battambang try Heng Chhay Ly Supermarket or the store opposite the central market, north side. If they don't have what you want they will usually get it.

Re: Online English teacher wanted

Your partner may have problems understanding Australian english. Maybe she needs someone who speaks slowly and enunciates clearly at least until she gets used to it. I have seen a newsreader on Australia Plus called Carina Carvalho who speaks very well. If she is on tv in Australia watch her. Possib...

Re: 13-Year-Old Khmer-American Schoolgirl Missing for 2 Weeks (FOUND)

Works on the Thai side but lives in Koh Kong. I met him first when he was kid, now married with kids himself. If he gets to like you, an...
