No trains in the floating market. They'd sink.

If you're over 60 you can get half-price fares on MRT (but not BTS unless you are Thai.) You need to get a "senior" MRT stored-value card - tapping in and out on a credit card will charge the full fare.

and don't forget to stand to attention 🙏at 6 pm 😁. @emiel1981: These threads might be of interest: If you want a good view, there are some sights that might interest you here.

and don't forget the Bell bus option - Swampy to north Pattaya by bus, then an included minibus transfer to your hotel - at about twice the price of the regular bus. Book in advance on their website. The booking form asks for your flight number so (with luck; TiT) they will transfer you to a later bus if the flight is delayed.

Boat on the river? Here's the inexpensive option. Take the BTS to Saphan Taksin, walk down to Sathon pier. Take a north-bound Chao Phraya Express boat (the ordinary orange-flagged one, not the tourist boat!), to the end of the line at Nonthaburi. Tickets are fixed-fare 16B per person. Have seafood lunch at a riverside restaurant, and enjoy some durian. Then reverse the process.

You can get Grindr-type commodities at Home Pro and Big C?! 😄

As a lawyer you may be more familiar with "badgering the witness"

Magnificent erections?

Don't worry. It will still be open when the last train arrives 😄.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Art .

Aha. Japan, so it's pretty much guaranteed to be a tattoo-free zone.

I don't either, and I apologise to Londoner if that's how it was interpreted. I asked the question exactly because the obvious interpretation made no sense but I wasn't aware of an alternative meaning. Perhaps you should read my message again and note that it begins and ends with question marks. It was a request for enlightenment, not an assertion.

So, apart from switching the Bangkok terminus from Hualamphong to Krung Thep Aphiwat, basically they are just winding the clock back to before 2016, when there was a daily express train between Bangkok and Butterworth.

? You desperately needed an ethnic slur used to mock or imitate the Chinese language, people of Chinese ancestry, or other people of East Asian descent perceived to be Chinese? If that phrase has another meaning, Google isn't admitting to it, to me at least.

Some airline welcome packs include stickers "please wake me for meals", "do not disturb" etc. which you can stick to your headrest.

... and let's not forget, Biggus Dickus wanks as high as any in Wome...

There's a flaw in that idea. You are assuming that everyone, including senior management, is competent to follow highly technical instructions like "wipe gadget to factory setup". Experience suggests that the more senior the employee, the less likely they are to get it right 😄

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_and_chips, "The British tradition of eating fish battered and fried in oil was introduced to the country by the Chuts: Spanish and Portuguese Jewish immigrants, who had lived in the Netherlands before settling in the UK. These immigrants arrived as early as the 16th century; the main immigration to London being during the 1850s. They prepared fried fish in a manner similar to pescado frito, which is coated in flour then fried in oil.[7] Fish fried for Shabbat for dinner on Friday evenings could be eaten cold the following afternoon for shalosh seudot, palatable this way as liquid vegetable oil was used rather than a hard fat, such as butter." The French or Belgians contributed the deep-fried chips. Combining the two ingredients in one meal happened in the 1860s, or maybe before. Then Italian, and later Chinese, immigrants spread the concept all around the UK.

no, but they had learned the hard way "what They don't know can't be used against you"

Because of that, my former employer had an absolute rule: no employee was to carry company-owned IT (smartphones, laptops, whatever) across the US border under any circumstances. Going to the US on business? Once safely across the border, buy a new device, connect to the corporate VPN and download whatever you need. Before returning, wipe and discard the device.

That's precisely why it was so horrible (and overpriced.) They are catering to an endless stream of royalty-struck tourists who will never visit the place again, so reputation is not a priority. Of course, that quintessentially "British" dish is actually a fusion of French/Belgian and Jewish cuisines, later sold by Italians. Its contribution to the flag-waving "Britishness" mythos may be because it was one of the few foods that wasn't rationed in WW2.

Offing a ghost would probably be very bad for your karma.
