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.

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.
