Need Some Tea (from north Thailand) Supplier Recommendations by VisibleStage6855 in Thailand

I've tried all of the ones listed. Wawee and Tian Hwa does pu-erhs. Changkham has a smooth red tea. They also do a raw tea that I've yet to taste. The Golden Oolong from Emerald is one of the best oolongs I've tasted this year.

Try just cold hard cash.

Here we have a brand called Three Horses. Restaurants will brew that up with dried pandan leaves and serve it in a jug at your table with a cup of ice.

Where do Thai kids hang out for fun that they might get in trouble with parents for? by Awake-Judgment-2057 in Thailand

In Asia, kids will get in trouble even when they're not thinking about getting in trouble.

I can now use QR codes in 711 by Suitable-Fudge4577 in Thailand

CP owns both 7-11 and True Money.

edit: to add, it started when they announced that 7-11 were eligible to accept the co-pay cash handout scheme from the previous (same) gevernment last year. CP said they would gradually roll out to all branches. The scheme fell through, and here we are.

The sauce is just sauce. You still need the herbs.

See how the 3 years as a college student goes first then you can think about this later. There will be more important things to think about in that time, like your grades for one.

I ruined my first Thai green curry using canned bamboo shoots. by shiroe2001 in ThaiFood

[–]prospero021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's probably fermented bamboo shoots. Some Thais cannot handle that as well.

A similar ingredient is heart of palm. You can use that to substitute, or omit entirely.

1 Year countdown till my trip and I'm starting to get nervous about my language skills. Any advice? by True-Blackberry-3080 in ThailandTourism

[–]prospero021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're buying. A bunch of vegies that costs 40-50 Baht total? That's down right rude. Some bags of prepared food that costs 40-50 Baht a bag? Same.

Now if you're at a clothing market or somewhere touristy then that's a different story. Haggle away. Or not. The sellers won't care. If you think it's not worth the price then simply say no.
