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.

Yong, are you OK?

Or did your masseuse force you on a starvation diet?
Hahahahaha. Yes I'm ok makmak.

Talking about masseuse, since covid in March I've never been to any "massage parlour". Too risky. However I had found alternatives. lol

Don’t worry, I’m part of the mab mab (Khmer) club. I was given the nickname G’Mab already.

My live in masseuse is flying in next month.

I live Texas and never heard of this place.

Nor of Texas being known for chicken.

Apparently, Texas Chicken is NOT from Texas.

It’s those New Yorkers stealing the name Texas for their nefarious ways...
