  1. Something different today, the Beerhouse Special at the Old German Beerhouse on 13. Poached egg, cheese, cold cuts, fresh breads with butter and jam, orange juice, with a pot of either coffee or tea. 310 baht
  2. That's where I was this morning, off Soi 11, a converted shop house, it has a vertical orientation. The three egg omlette contained bacon, sausage, cheddar cheese, onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, etc. with fried potato and toast. At 260 baht, it's twice the Red Lion's baht buster. Add a hot cappuccino and large orange juice and the cost exceeds 600, but with good, fresh, quality ingredients.
  3. Well, this is their culture so you just grin and bear it. It’s a positive to see the joy on peoples faces while they’re having fun, but three days is enough. I had to endure a week of this when I lived in Pattaya. Recall waiting in a baht bus to have lunch at Fuji. A farang came up behind me and dumped an entire bucket of ice water over me, it was so cold I couldn’t breathe for several seconds, a bit over the top IMHO. I think it’s the farang that are the biggest offenders of ruining it for people having fun, a little water isn’t going to hurt you.
  4. Until next year, Happy Songkran!!! model: Yammy Striphasuthar photographer: Not me (unfortunately)
  5. Most expats hate this time of year. LOL Fortunately, my condo is connected to the BTS so I can get a bird's eye view of the festivities without risking water damage to my gear. I may spend the full three days in the stratosphere and never go down to the ground level. These taken yesterday between Soi 7 and Asoke.
  6. They display my state flag (Wisconsin) on their wall.
  7. I like the steak burritos at La Monita, but when they had a restaurant in the basement of Siam Paragon you had to pay an extra 60 baht if you wanted guacamole in your burrito, whereas if you went over to Mahatun Plaza it was included at no extra cost.
  8. FYI: You can get a Muay Thai visa now https://visaguide.world/news/thailand-introduces-a-new-muay-thai-visa-allowing-90-day-stays-for-those-who-want-to-learn-the-sport/
  9. Fatty’s Bar and Diner just named 2024 Best Dive Bar in BKK Magazine B.A.D. Awards. Congratulations https://bk.asia-city.com/restaurants/bangkok-restaurant-reviews/fattys-diner-bar https://bk.asia-city.com/nightlife/news/bangkok-best-dive-bars# (photo from Facebook)
  10. No, they're flour, but each taco contains two large shrimp, a slice of avocado, slice of Jalapeño, lettuce and salsa. Buy one for 90++ and get one free, but only Tuesdays, and margaritas are 150++. Have 4 shrimp tacos and two margaritas, 480++.
  11. Getting back to Soi Nana, when I'm doing the Plaza and need something to soak up the alcohol, like last night, I'll head over to Fitzgeralds for Cod & Chips, 370 baht.
  12. I had a Bratwurst there this week on St Paddy's Day, smothered in sauerkraut.
