So sorry to keep you waiting Chromeman, I was busy Sunday, and battling problems with my laptop most of yesterday. I eventually traced the problem, so here are my promised questions :wink:. I am sitting here with a dying laptop, so I can relate... ;-) - The Boat - machines break, and we all get aff...

Probably better to sell QuantumChicken?

A Big Mac in Norway is supposed to cost (just the burger) 48 NOK or 257 baht. I honestly didn't realise they had become that expensive anywhere. With the cheaper rent and a tenth (at least) of the staffing costs here, while still being just as popular if the location's right, a Macdonalds here stil...

Yes, should be good to visualize some very unique Thai culture and life in a fairly short timespan, both historical and contemporary.

What the heck is that? Some kind of tank/separator for a petrochemical plant. It belongs to PTT. EDIT: When in place they're in the upright position if my memory serves correctly. The various parts of crude oil have different evaporation points so they heat it up and separate gasoline at one level,...

Shure BB, ask whenever you want. Also, there are people from Mermaid Cruises active here and I am sure they would like to clarify anything if needed. Tomorrow morning at 08:30 they are picking us up for the sea cruise with 'The Peacock' , their big and yellow boat to Monkey Island and Sam Roi Yod Na...

And the burger in HH is probably cheeper than one in Pattaya.

A handy trip I learned from a chef is to use a wand mixer (I think they are called in English). The trick is to put it down with the egg yolks and turn it on and then very slowly in a thin drizzle pour the oil down on the cover above the blade. Then the oil will slowly get properly blended with the ...

No reception here, only owner/wife and they were away. Just the Thai chef left. But the wife just arrived and could help.

Apparently, the driver at our hotel don't work today since we did not notify this morning we were going to town.

So anyone who has a phone number they can PM me to a local taxi or tuk-tuk driver who we can call to come pick us up and drive us to the city center?

This "@อัมพวา" means "At Amphawa". She ignored the part before the @.

This picture is from the entrance to the restaurant we had dinner. It was just a few meters from the floating market itself.
Did a "check in" in FB, this was the name according to my gf: แพเจ้าสำราญ@อัมพวา

No, I did not notice the smoke from Bangkok.

I did go 2 times to Rio back in 2009 for my company since we were owned by the Brazilian Vale group back then (They were named CVRD or Companhia Vale do Rio Doce back then). They put us up in an apartment hotel a couple of blocks from Copacabana. Had 3 weeks there in May and did celebrate May 17th t...

The trick is using more than 1 plate...
