I go to the Ploenchit and Asoke locations quite often. Love their breakfasts!! They actually have 4 locations now.

Ha, it was! Loads of crispy pork cracklings mixed in to put it over the top. I highly recommend trying this place, just be prepared to wait in line.

I finally made it there this afternoon for the 4pm opening. It was in the top 3 Thai meals I’ve ever had, and I’ve lived here for 6 years. I had the crab fried rice and the stir fried cabbage. Both were just fantastic! Got there about 3:35 and was second in line. Thanks much to @Danum99 for the recommendation!!

Thanks for this review. I walked there from Elkamai BTS once, but the queue was so long I didn’t bother waiting. Will have to try again some time as it has great reviews.

Asoke Place has been updating their rooms, and they are really nice now for a short time. I’ve used them twice in the last couple of weeks.

All it says is “Sports Bar”, iirc

Just joined, but didn’t really see much there, unless I completely missed it.

Are there any retired expats that can recommend what health insurance to buy? Mine is coming up for renewal, but price has gone up to almost 100,000 baht per year, due to my age. Current coverage is thru AIA. Everything I’ve read indicates health insurance is mandatory, but I’ve never been asked for proof of coverage when renewing my retirement visa. Thanks!

Good luck, hope it doesn’t disappoint!

Based on 20+ years of flying worldwide while I was still working, I can safely say there are no bigger pigs on a plane than Chinese people. Use Air China at your own risk! The comment about hacking and spitting are spot on.

Thanks for this!! I’m heading there tomorrow for my 4th jab.

Yes, PB is still open
