    Which Foodland  was that ? Patpong or Silom one?

    If Patpong I will contact UNESCO to suspend their world heritage designation till I make personal inspection there.

    The same with Michelin, at least 1.5 stars from their 7.5 should be taken away immediately.

    You absolutely right , cashews should be  cooked with the dish , not served as also run.

    Only explanation I'd accept was that the cook is in love, that was what we used to say where I grew up when served under- or overcooked meal.

    I'm shocked to the bone !!!!  and want to scream murder . 

    But as always , give them another chance or go to G'Bangkok or Happy Beer Garden and try theirs

    This is truly very humorous. 

  2. Hands up who hasn’t suffered a debilitating stroke recently following a sneeze or not … Kkkaaaaashooh, garçon, where are the Kakakakashoez! With at least one side of funny bone paralyzed. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and may all your condiments and garnishes come through leap year.

  3. This topic may come across as a duplicate of an earlier attempt where I cannot seem to view the appended images, it had timed out for editing or deletion, yet this here added topic seems to depict the images successfully. Apologies for overlap.  Maybe gonna post the railway station separately, though those specific images are showing on the earlier post with the station included in headline.

    Please allow me to help you out, Riobard.

    After all the advice you proffered here, please consider that you'll get more dates by a good daily scrubbing and a long Listerine gargle. 😉

    I proffered nothing. It was blatantly clear from the outset that a few stubbornly held positions would not be amenable to acceptance of hard facts. Perhaps you could initiate a separate media piece on morning ablutions as you derailed your own topic. 

    It was like watching the train wreck of lost logic when somebody extends a caveat such as ‘don’t shit where you eat’ to the absurd qualifier of ‘if you have to shit in the same place make sure to compost it in the service of what you eat, so taking a crap where you dine may be a good thing …’

    Eeesh.

    Did you ever meet a thesaurus you didn't just absolutely adore?

     

     

    Now you are layering on more ridiculousness, silly. You (not inappropriately) started a thread on a complex topic, with media representation of academic epidemiological concepts that would naturally lead to ongoing additional epidemiological and standard public health languaging among posters, terms utilized conventionally within the very literature on which theses are reported.

    You know exactly what each word means, feel challenged and offended, transparently and flimsily coming back with a frivolous and vexatious dig aimed at corroborating your alliances.

    So you're answer is to present yourself as dirty as possible. Good point. 😄

    You are really reaching here and being deliberately asinine, but I’m sure the tangential and irrelevant focus on presentation appeal could persist ad infinitum when contrarianism is the driver. 

    Personal hygiene and susceptibility to STD infection is not correlated or causally significant. Period. Partner episode volume being equal, judicious personal hygiene is salutary for obvious reasons, but NOT STI-preventive, period. The prevention heuristic regarding behavioural risk mitigation, when watered down with erroneous assumptions about personal hygiene has been deleterious in LMIC contexts because if a condom, for example, is lacking but soap is accessible the security conferred by a lesser but erroneously valued prevention measure is equally fallacious, breeching principles of beneficence. Sexual hygiene optimization is facilitated by de-mythologizing.

    I trust that other members of this board are aware that if one substituted the word "American" for "Chinese" in the above comment, they would make exactly the things that locals in many Asian countries would say too.

    Chapeau! It’s difficult to be unaware when obnoxious chatroom Sinonegativist ‘othering’ is shoved up one’s sinus.

    NOTE --  There are as many "lists" as there are cities and I don't put a lot of stock in any. The Mastercard one at least bases its information on cash transactions (you know you've won when they give you the money 😄).

    From The Nation

    Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya were among the top 20 most visited cities in the world this year, according to a report by the payment-processing corporation Mastercard.

    Thailand’s capital topped the ranking with 22.78 million international visitors. Following Bangkok are Paris (19.10 million visitors) and London (19.09 million visitors).

    Phuket ranked 14th with 9.89 million visitors, while Pattaya ranked 15th with 9.44 million visitors.

     

    What surprised me a little was the vast touring mobs enduring 95degreeF beating down sun hours at a time. I expected busy but not nudged and jostled in open spaces at 09:00

    On my first night in Bangkok this week, I went to Foodland to try the venerable cashew chicken as raved about by @vinapu.

    Only when the dish was served did I realize that this vinapu venerated concoction contained not a single cashew. Not one.

    Has Mr. Vinapu been joshing?

    I asked for assistance and an employee came to the table and couldn't figure out the problem. So I told him very simply "There are no cashews in the cashew chicken!"

    The remedy was to bring me a small bowl of cashews, but as chicken cashew lovers would attest, they taste much better when cooked in the dish.

    My rating of Foodland's cashew chicken...a 2!

    As a server, I’d have at first immediately donned a surgical mask, offered you a Kleenex, and exclaimed whatever the local ‘god bless’ equivalent would be, perhaps also diligently inquiring about allergies and quickly reviewing the venue’s liability package. It’s not uncommon these days to have a bug up your ass, nasal-pharyngeal zone, etc.

    My goal this year is to try South America

    …. sorry, backed myself into the quote frame: The continent in parts has made years of retirement considerably value-added.

  11. Somewhat surprisingly, garotocomlocal has been gradually expanding its international base, with no less than 60 or so ads within the bookends of the Toronto-Montreal corridor, very little crossover with the typically more go-to sites, albeit the rather uninspiring yet perhaps pruriently metaphorical heading Boy With Room, owing to literal translation.

    I believe that the small print of this company suggests any negative content escort reviews are prohibited, bringing to mind an association between permissible content and the usual consumercaveat emptor.

    I have used the site in Brazil rarely yet successfully, mostly the provider hosting. True identities and personal contexts mutually known.

  12. It was the shortest route a few dozen times and I apologetically explained to the many enthusiastic impressively work-ethical solicitors of several houses presumably geared to optional rub-n-tug slide-n-glide services, surrounded by a seemingly endless array of underutilized staff, attempting to usher me in that I was busy dealing with the strange phenomenon of occasionally coming upon scenes like this in the jewel-box rain-shower steps away. That said, I expect that many visitors to this site would be interested if not thrilled to purchase a pre- or post- Mango Tree amuse bouche or mignardise at aforementioned cluster of outlets. My apologies in advance if the images put anybody off erotic encounters.

    You are wrong, again. You are projecting on others your own behavior.  My comments … 

    Not how that term is employed. Rather, for example, ‘you behave in the very manner that you criticize in others.’ Behaviour is not projectable as it is external, not an introject.

    It seems to me that it's fashionable for (desired by) many in the gay community to have unprotected sex (i.e., without a condom).  

    For a long time now I've thought men on PrEP have been lulled into a sense of security, that it's safe to have any unprotected sex.

    Gross oversimplifications not supported by qualitative research on MSM’s awareness and attitudes regarding viral and bacterial STIs.
