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

Khun Yong. Do you know anything about this?

The locals call it "3 day Grass" or "Erections never fail".



Apparently when the leaves or roots are eaten or boiled as tea they guarantee that any man will remain in a state of excitement for three days.



Women can try it too.



It makes them frisky for just as long.



Mae Oui Saengduang, 74, says she swears by it.



It's very hardy and like its aphrodisiac properties will spring back to life even if you tread on it.



But please don't try that at home....



It appears that Thailand has found another plant to rival or even better the recently legalized grass that is marijuana

Sometimes I really wonder if its all worth it.

I spent the whole morning since 7am going to the market and then prepare and then cooked this meal for lunch and I finished at 11.30am.

And then I was reminded "It's not the Destination. It's the Journey." I felt happy once again.

Sunday Nasi Lemak Lunch

Its got, sambal egg, fried mackerel, ikan bilis sambal with cucumber, crispy ikan bilis with peanuts, beef rendang
