That’s awesome, as I’ll be staying at On 8 both Friday and Saturday nights!

I normally eat there at least once a month and always get pad krapow moo with a fried egg and a Coke Zero for 100 baht. Food is always very good. Sitting on the outside counter is perfect for people watching if it’s not packed.

I definitely remember eating at one in Moscow sometime around 2009

You’re probably right, but I haven’t tried the one at Paragon yet

They now have a stall at Siam Paragon food court, so no need to venture to Ekkamai and wait in a long queue.

That was also my first experience, sometime back around 2003!

Found these lovelies today at Makro

I pretty much always order the Diavola and even add a little hot sauce! Love Vesuvio!

That may be my lunch destination today

As an American I am not well versed on this topic, but I surely intend to give it a try! When I was in Australia for business, I always loved going to watch footy and enjoy a meat pie or two during the matches.

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.

Asoke Place, just outside of Soi Cowboy

All it says is “Sports Bar”, iirc

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!

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

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.
