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.

A good start to a long day of door to door plying my screws at the countryside today. Simple, freshly cooked and cheap power breakfast where you have carbohydrate, protein, fibre etc. Plate only 45 baht or $1.40 and a bottle of water 10 baht.

Will have enough energy and motivation to do some selling after this
