If their spelling is as good as that "AI"-generated image, I think I'd look elsewhere for help with my documentation 😕

He prefers gin.

Haven't been in the right place at the right time since 2020, so I don't know. Regarding your last sentence, that's an interesting point, but the tune they play daily in Lumpini Park and elsewhere is the national anthem, which is highly nationalistic but doesn't refer to royalty at all. (Not surprising, as it was adopted in 1932 when the absolute monarchy was abolished.) To hear the royal anthem you need to go to the cinema.

... in Thai?

for bonus points, can you name all the dishes just from the pictures?

Daily Mail plus Rupert Sheldrake adds up to pseudoscientific clickbait.

According to the Royal Thai General System of Transcription it's Thanon Ratchadaphisek, but the government frequently doesn't use its own system, so that's moot. It's "really" ถนนรัชดาภิเษก . Beyond that, there's no such thing as a "correct" way to latinize Thai.

but verify that they will work on your phone before buying! Many older phones don't support them.

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.
