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.

Love these little Roti carts, always good value for a cheap sweet snack, banana and chocolate being my favourite choice.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Have been craving for Singapore's chili crab and black pepper crab for almost a year. Discovered there is a Singapore Jumbo Seafood in IconSiam mall so went to try them out onNew Year's Day

The restaurant

Outside sitting by the Chaophraya River

Famous Singha beer

Sambal kangkong

Image

Salted fish chicken fried rice

The soup - 佛跳墙


Here comes the black pepper crab

If you ask me, the black pepper crab taste nothing like in Singapore so don't waste your time with this dish. Sambal kangkong was good though.

By the way in Thailand one of Covid's regulation is no alcohol served and consumed in any dining establishment. Anyway its not the end of the world as people gets creative.

Felt like having pizza tonight so where else have the best pizza in town?

Schweppes for the evening

Extraordinary Italian seafood (not in the menu, special request)
Image

Italian sausage with Thai herbs saute

This is what we came for
