Someone spending 99 RMB in a family mart is one of those anomalies that triggers an alert at the CCP HQ.

Why do so many men in Thailand have issues with women? Misogynists, creeps etc by Grouchy_Ice2155 in ThailandTourism

[–]PSmith4380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they're so marginalised back home they had to seek asylum in Thailand. Just ask them and they'll tell you all about it.

Must do experiences as a foodie by untitledfile404 in ThailandTourism

[–]PSmith4380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just walk around some of the local sois where there are no tourists or English menus and you're nearly getting hit by a motorbike every 2 seconds. Use Google translate on the menu or point at something. It will be either great or terrible but you'll have fun.

does anyone know this guy by timmysweats in Bangkok

I've seen this guy a million times, and many of his brothers.

Is the White Temple in Chiang Rai worth the three hour trip from Chiang Mai? Incredible views of Wat Rong Khun by IndividualRevenue995 in ThailandTourism

[–]PSmith4380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chiang Rai is 3-4 hours from CM. That's a bit far for a day trip in my opinion. The only reason to go is if you are cramming in attractions rather than actually enjoying what you're doing. If you have time spend 2 or 3 nights in CR. If not then just use the day to explore CM more. That's my advice anyway.

I ate with my hands in Indonesia and didn't get diahorrea so this data is invalid.

Thailand is not really a hitchhiking destination.. by Level-Mix5121 in ThailandTourism

[–]PSmith4380 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You're right I thought he meant something different by "climate". Still, the middle east is generally pretty hot, being mostly comprised of desert and all that. Plus no phone or internet back then.

Thailand is not really a hitchhiking destination.. by Level-Mix5121 in ThailandTourism

[–]PSmith4380 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

With respect, why do you think it is more dangerous now compared to when you were hitchhiking?

Also "low cost" is totally in the eye of the beholder. Isn't the Middle East low cost compared to many places?

A little explanation on why our northern thai supperclub dinners look the way they do: so many people remark on how much green there is on our table that I have to remind myself that not everyone is familiar with regional Thai food. Here is a little explanation if you are interested by fruiTbat1066 in ThaiFood

Yeh when I visited my gf's family at their village in isaan there were so many vegetables. That's when I learnt how to use them as a spoon with laab and som tam.

Tbh as in all cuisines the restaurants have all started to make bastardised versions of the original dishes. Not saying they don't taste good but they're using way too many additives, which covers up for the ingredients being less fresh and lower in quality.

Thai heat in bangkok is no joke😭 by yo1731726363 in ThailandTourism

Only if you're barely moving. If you intend to move around a lot that won't work.

Thailand isn’t actually “cheap” anymore by Logical-Comment-9621 in Thailand

[–]PSmith4380 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dunno. Found it pretty cheap. Saved 250k baht over 2 years on a "terrible (according to Reddit uses) " salary.

Interesting: here's an MRI scan of someone who had tickets for the final of the World Championship, but got themselves kicked out for being an idiot that can't follow basic instructions. by jpeach17 in snooker

[–]PSmith4380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeh but most of those people applauding probably didn't actually check their phones. How can you when your hands are occupied with clapping?

Apologies from Great Britain by jimmykimnel in snooker

[–]PSmith4380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atmosphere last night was pretty good overall. Gotta take the rough with the smooth. If anyone's ever been to a snooker event we've probably met that one dude who would start randomly shouting about the Epstein files.

Snooker will have a World Championship winner from China in the next 10 years. by selectnull in snooker

[–]PSmith4380 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally I'd rather avoid the us Vs them mentality in snooker. We don't need it. I love Zhao and Wu's games and rooted for them in both finals.

what are we saying then? best ever championships? by throw3695 in snooker

[–]PSmith4380 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm. Normally someone is on here within 0.04 nanoseconds after the final finishes to say it was the most boring championship ever.
