The sundried / roasted chilies were my favorite part of that place's cash cx.

I was not successful in finding some cashew chicken. I was successful in receiving dozens of buckets of ice water to the face. poo poo is crazy out there today, in the best kind of way.

The thing about Chiang Mai is that it's pretty convenient, especially if you are working from there. The weather is nice, there's Western stuff everywhere, the city is not too big so it's easy to move around and it's well connected. I wouldn't recommend people to do tourism there but it's a nice base camp.

There seriously must be a correlation between how many Mexican places somewhere has and how aggressively it has been ruined by tourists.

Safely ensconced in koh Lanta. I ended up mostly missing Songkran since I didn't get here till late afternoon by which point it was raining, the locals had gotten bored and the tourists had passed out. Nice place, very laid back. Got to spend about 15 minutes snorkeling with a whale shark between dives too, so so far high standards to beat even if it's the end of the season and everyone seems to be packing up.

A friend of mine is on Koh Lanta at the moment and has fallen in love with the place after having spent ten years or more owning a dive company on Koh Tao. The trouble I'm having is finding the time to visit all the places I want to visit. Sigh!

Does Brosnan says "Welcome to Lasia"? Did they create a random SEA country with them squiggly characters and those rebel factions we hear on the news and you know, street markets and fish heads?

Anyone know some good museums n poo poo in Bangkok? I'm taking my parents to Thailand and neither are in great shape, so I need some indoor places to stash them once they get wiped out. We're going to be there at least a week.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they did. Filmed in Thailand, but there's no way they could insult Thailand that way, so they used upside-down Khmer for the writing, a quasi-Brunei flag (but with blue all over it), and the family appears to flee to the Vietnamese border at one point in the trailer. (Although I think he just says "Welcome to Asia", I don't think they actually called it Lasia) CronoGamer fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Apr 16, 2015 |

Lasia sounds a lot like "Malaysia" so I see them potentially taking more offense.

The Neilson Hays library has a bulletin board that often has cool branier things for farang. Also check Alliance Francaise and Goethe Institute, as well as the American Embassy for events. Forensic Path is probably the most visited. I regularly went to a smaller student gallery whose name I can't remember right now near KSR whose entrance was opposite the huge bus circle / kite flying oval.

ReindeerF posted:that thing is across from MBK (Bangkok Museum of Metropolitan Art or something?) with the giant black booby statue. It was pretty cool when I went. Lots of interactive art and weird things that were fun to play with. One room had objects that you could move around to change an image. Another had a smaller black room with hundreds of whispering voices. My favourite was the bit at the start which was about a dozen metronomes programmed to sync up, but you could just touch a pendulum and gently caress the whole thing up, then watch it right itself. One of the other favourites was a pitch dark room with a toy train carrying a bright light following a route through things that cast incredible and surreal shadows on the walls. There are also several small shops and cafes in there. I think it was free, too. Also, it being SEA, you can park someone in a massage place for an hour foot rub for like $6.

40 years ago today the Khmer Rouge marched into Phnom Phen and the fate of over a million Cambodians, nearly 20% of the population, was all but sealed. Here's a retrospective from the PP Post: http://m.phnompenhpost.com/national/citys-fall

The National Museum does free tours on Wednesday mornings given by volunteers, which is understandably hit and miss. There are definitely some cool bits, though.

No, but I got a very chipper tour from a Californian retired high school art teacher who went on at length about qigong and tantric sex and kept touching all the artifacts.

Choreography has a long way to go here for sure. Singing too. There are various reasons for this that make a lot of sense from what I can gather, but it is what it is, heh.Chantilly Say posted:No, but I got a very chipper tour from a Californian retired high school art teacher who went on at length about qigong and tantric sex and kept touching all the artifacts.

My friend sent me a message saying her car is at Toyota getting fixed. It turns out she reversed into another car while This same person's father cannot walk properly because of getting hit by a drunk driver. So firstly, facepalm, and secondly, I should find someone else to a get a lift from the airport. Someone in Thailand needs to instill social stigma into drink driving.

People get super upset about having small boobs to the extent it affects their confidence. It really kind of sucks. And it's easier to change your body than society's attitudes. The fake boobs industry is going to have a great time in developing Asian markets picking up where the wonderbra people left off. Korea is just the start. E: post sounds a bit snarky, I haven't had coffee yet. Woke up at 6.30 because it's going to be 39 degrees today in Chiang mai. Negligent fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Apr 19, 2015 |

There was some kind of art show I saw advertised in Bangkok once, or maybe it was a short film or something, but the English title was Thai Girls Have No Tits. It was by a Thai tom if I remember correctly but obviously putting "Thai Girls Have No Tits" into Google just gives a bunch of porn results.
