With apologies to bkkmfj2648 for the diversion to Cambodian History. The confusion over the welcome that the Khmer Rouge received on entry to Phnom Penh was created by: Some residents thought this group were the Khmer Rouge and that they were more benevolent than expected. This whole period is covered in an excellent film, The Killing Fields, that was shot in Thailand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Phnom_Penh

Even better profit. 3.5 x 8 = 28. (Not 24)

Don't we all!

That may be so, but there is no reason that "a truth" can't come out of the dialogue. I did apologise for being pedantic!

The fact that it was home made doesn't necessarily mean that the robber made it nor that if he did he was especially skillful. Sorry to be pedantic but "Home Made" guns are not that complicated and are in quite wide circulation in Thailand. I think I read that Thailand has the highest rate of gun possession in South East Asia.

Keith was referring to the "Thai version" as opposed to the Cambodian or Malaysian versions.

That car is red?! I clearly need my eyes testing.

The quality of their wines are great, but unfortunately on my last flight first the champagne ran out, then the red wine ran out and finally the white wine ran out. Their staff seemed a bit ragged. Perhaps they were drinking it! First World problems I know.

From experience a few years ago I would walk in the early evening on the east bank from the Pavilion Winter Hotel north along the corniche towards the Karnak temple although you shouldn't have to go that far. This is the area where Felucca guys are looking to arrange trips. If you see someone you like ask him if he can take you to Banana Island, or he may suggest a trip there.

It took three years of research to discover this!

This made me laugh! A most interesting thread and thank you to all for their interesting contributions.

That's interesting, I also understood that it was a no go area for non registered guests. It has been owned by the same family since opening over fifty years ago, and I understood they dictated this policy.

How ghastly!

I am not surprised to see Rome Fiumicino in the top ten. I recently transited there and was impressed by how friendly and helpful everyone was. The ITA lounge was great! Actually I was surprised what an overall step forward ITA had taken compared to the old Alitalia.

I have found Tops to be great and their delivery service is reliable.

Do you guys realise how important is to shake hands in the correct way? What is the correct way? Did anyone teach you? Did anyone take offence?

This suggests that it could be submitted up to three days after arrival, but I thought that it needed to be submitted up to three days prior only. Although to be fair I haven't been concentrating as it will be at least three months before I enter again. I am sure that as you advise, we are all interested to hear how it actually works in practice.

Are they sure this factory wasn't in India as Mr Know-It-All assured us........

So Mr Wang stole some stang from Mr Trang!

Agreed that this is an enjoyable walk and good to see life in the city from a different height perspective. The maps above are very helpful.

I didn't realise that Tahitian Queen was still going, amazing. I must have visited over several years about 40 years ago. I had a good time there on several visits, good music(not live), friendly, no hosts so neither gay nor straight, and with a great view out over the beach from a cool air conditioned interior. I will give it another try next time I am in town.

What learned people we are lucky enough to have on this forum. Thank you for your Burmese history lessons. Much appreciated. Just goes to show that there is never only one version of history, but it is always good to find a common narrative, where possible. No one interpretation of historical events is ever 100% correct. Back to the whoring........ Looking forward to the next instalment from CallMeLee.......
