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.

Good one buddy. No I am not working for TAT (Tourism Authority of Thailand). I have been in Thailand as an expat for 13 years now as a screw salesman for the construction industry.
Do you sell screws with a left hand thread and a right hand thread ? I've got the metric screwdrivers to fit them both but cannot get the screws.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.

Oh I'm only into roofing self-drilling-screws and it comes in only one direction for all.

They have brothels specifically for construction workers?
I am afraid I don't know the answer to this question.

Very interesting evening yesterday evening having Japanese and Italian.

Started at 5.30pm went to the Japanese street, a side street of Silom famously known as Soi Thaniya. So had early dinner in Sushi Tsukiji

Image

Street as usual is very busy with many karaoke girls inviting customers to go into their joints

Image

Image

This is Thainiya Street
Image

Inside the restaurant

In Bangkok the top Japanese restaurants get their seafood freshly delivered from Japan every Friday and Tuesday so its good to visit on these days.

Just arrived ready to cut

As mentioned before Bangkok not only has nice Thai food but because of the large number of expats here we have great Japanese and western restaurants too.

yong,,,, I hope you have a guilty conscience and a tummy-ache for not inviting your CEO friends along for dinner with you. I know I would definitely invite you out to dinner with me when I go to KFC.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.

Thank you, that was very encouraging. Will post some more in this thread. Next 10 days will be traveling in Singapore and Taiwan so may be a little slow here.

Fascinating indeed. How much did the dual Japanese/Italian feast set you back?
