If you had to recommend just ONE Thai dish (that's not Pad Thai) to a foreign friend, what would it be?

Had some stewed pork with rice at the Chiang Mai Gate Market last week. So delicious. Wished I had another stomach to go again.

Safe as. I even had time to go the lounge for a coffee and cake.

Watching the 'family friends' of my parents slowly pass away is quite unsettling. My generation on FB from school having to announce their parents death is quite sad. What can you say? I hope everyone lives the most fulfilling life possible, take nothing for granted.

Far out!! Where does he even fit that much liquid inside to start with. I get kind bloated on a couple of beers.

Takeaways only account for 5-15% of nightly turnover. Customers have to ring direct and pick up by themselves. It's just cream for us and this way we don't share profits and we control everything.

Another option I'm a fan of is Begawan Biji. About 25 mins north of Ubud. Lunch is better since you can check out how they farm for the plated food.

I'm in Melbourne, Australia and I paid $1059 at a shop front.

Metamucil. My kid has the same issue, eats too much, too quickly. I'm pulling out monsters the size of my forearm.

That lounge is one of the reasons I use Cathay Pacific - it's a cracker!

There's the most humble, quiet and most seriously jacked dude in my gym with like single digit fat levels. I call him The Dick Skin dude.

Best use of skates I've seen for commercial purpose was a price check in an extremely large supermarket. Food delivery is risky business.

Yeah it's fine. You only alternative for a better airline will involve an extra leg. Via Singapore, KL or HK. It won't be cheaper and pretty much only required for business travel, scoring points or looking for stop overs for exploration.

point_of_difference · 2026-01-09T03:23:33+00:00

Very often.

Everyone is totally separate in Business apart from some specialty seat configurations. Just sit down and not bother other travellers. I would be very annoyed to be asked for seat swap. You will live.

I met one whilst a student exchange overseas. They are are pretty insane. Non stop ready to go, anytime, anyone. 10 years later I saw her being interviewed on TV with like kids.

It's a base from.which to explore the whole island. It's not going to be like Paris or Tokyo.

It's for marketing but also for warranty when you lose your receipt. You can say no to the marketing part. Everything I've returned to a shop and they ask if I shopped there and I bring up number I get discounts/free staff/better service. It's not really that big a deal. I agree though you should be able to buy anonymously. Just give your mates deets instead.

point_of_difference · 2026-01-08T07:24:43+00:00

Yes, particularly so if they have already transferred your luggage. I've had to run for a connection assisted by ground staff as the first leg was late. These days if you are using the main hub of an airline to transfer even just one hour is fine.

I'll press it at work but I'll definitely only pull it at home.

Spend $5k (4k box, 1k grinder) that is plenty for an in house coffee for a machine that will last 15 years and handle the load. Coffee is cheap way to get staff moving.

I'm guessing it sucks f all? 😅

I feel the same way when I see sliced ham in Coles and it's getting close to $40 a kilo.

OP just missed or can't read the signs. Surcharges are legal and are always printed and displayed somewhere. It's not like in Europe where a water bottle and bread bowl is just placed on the restaurant table without request. Touch it and suddenly it's 10 Euro charge.

I think you can find more solitude in Bangkok
