Re: Land of Smiles
I find healthy bodies nicer and more fun than those with melanoma. I had close friends who died of skin cancer. Seriously dude, get a clue. It's not all about what you think looks good. There's a reason why people who live in the tropics avoid direct sunlight.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Sat Sep 24, 2022 7:06 pm That’s a thing?
What a shame. Most Thais have much nicer bodies that the average Westerner.
Hope they don’t adopt Face kinis.
Part of the fun of going to the beach or water park (for me) is people watching. It’s no fun watching Burkhas.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I am already missing Thai food now, sigh. I remembered last week had this brunch
Yam pla kapong (Sardine salad)
Tomyam, krung (prawn tomyam)
Krapow moosaab khai dow (Thai basils minced pork with egg)
All freshly prepared and costs only US$4.50
Amazingly delicious

Re: Land of Smiles
Many Thais love their chicken rice. As a matter of fact many Thai chicken rice stalls like to call their chicken rice as Hai Lam Chicken Rice or even Singapore Chicken Rice. I thought it is not necessary to do that because Thai chicken rice is unique by itself as their sauce is completely different.
One of the most popular chicken rice shop in Thailand is in Pratunam and I am sure many tourists like to visit the stalls there to try Thai chicken rice. I was nearby there today on some chores and thought I'd go there for my bunch and take some phots to post here.
This shop probably sells hundreds of chickens a day
It was only 10am and already quite busy, cannot imagine lunch and dinner crowd
Menu
Reasonably priced
Tender and juicy chicken (pretty big serving)
Bitter gourd soup
My 205baht (US$5.50) meal
Verdict: One should not compare this to Singapore's chicken rice as I said before its different. Personally I still prefer the Singapore chicken rice. But if compare to other Thai chicken rice I have to say I had tasted better ones. This shop had probably been made popular by tourists.

Re: Land of Smiles
I wanted to put a bet on what you were going to eat first thing after beeing back home. Kao Man Gai was on the top of that list. Damn I would pay a fortune to have a serving of that right now.
