    • I wonder if he can carry me lol
    • And yet Google translate and Papago both translate ล้างตู้เย็น into "clean the fridge". 🤷‍♂️ But I appreciate the Thai idiom and have added it to my list. 
    • Faberge Eggs are once again in the news, but only because one of three known to be in private hands is coming up for auction. The exquisite Winter Egg was a gift from the Tsar in 1913. Made from clear quartz, a very notoriously material to carve I believe, like all Faberge's eggs it has something inside  - in this case a hanging basket with wood anemones, usually the first of the Spring flowers to bloom after Russia's winters. One expert has claimed the Winter Egg is the greatest of all the 50 made by Faberge's workshops for the Tsars. Like many of Russia's treasures, the Winter Egg was sold off after the Revolution for £450 - approx. US$30,000 in today's money. In 2002 it was sold by Christie's for $9.6 million. The estimate of what it will fetch at Christie's Tuesday auction is $25 million. But that is likely to be low compared to what it will really fetch. In the art market, scarcity is all. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/11/27/style/faberges-winter-egg-christies-auction
    • Two other issues concern me. The passages within each tower block were narrow. One or two people with difficulty moving could hold up untold others. The second is that when some felt the fire - apparently it is now known that none of the fire alarms were working - they immeditely took the lifts to safety. With  fire of such intensity, the chance of electricity failing is very high. The last place I'd want to get stuck in would be a lift between floors. When I lived in Hong Kong for 20 years, I was in two high rise blocks - the first 25 floors up, the second 34 floors up. Views were naturally spectacular. With 4 and 8 apartments per floor respectively, there were two quite generously sized stair exits per floor all well located in the heart of the buildings. But as these were privately constructed high rises, they were not low cost like those in Wang Fuk Court, and so not many older people - at least that I was aware of. When I stay in an hotel, the first thing I do is check the location of the fire stairs and count the number of doors I'll need to pass till I reach them. Once I was involved in a three-day event in Hong Kong's Ritz Carlton hotel located at the top of the tallest building and my room was on floor 117. I rather hoped they had parachutes in each room! Here in Bangkok I live on the top floor of an eight-story building. There are smoke detectors in each unit and fire hoses and extingiushers on each floor but no sprinkler system. The main open staircase is wide but a perfect funnel for fire. When I moved in, a second staircase at the back did not even have doors. I led a campaign to convert those stairs into a fire escape. Now we have occasional fire drills and biennial demonstrations from the fire department on how to use the fire prevention equipment. Now it feels a lot safer.
    • Excellent suggestions thank you. “Boy du jour” is from Bangkok and we have a flexible 2 day arrangement while I ease back into Pattaya. He’s a very amenable companion but quiet type so maybe Boystown as first stop to pick up extra company, grade the offerings for the rest of my stay, and then follow your recommendation. Sounds like a perfect first night back. Does anyone know the present rate in Pattaya for being hired to drink for 4-5 hours?
