Prawn meat with pork

Crab meat. The centre piece is a normal 小笼包 to show the crab dumpling is larger.

Frequent flying can be quite a nuisance.

I hate packing luggage and travelling alone, especially when there is no one to receive you on your arrival.

Packing luggage is a hassle, yes. But I've never arranged for anyone to send me on receive me on arrival. It's part of the thrill and experience, figuring out ways solo adventurously. But of course, if I was traveling with female companions, I'd arrange for people to recieve and escort us, or if not, go for travel agency.

What adventure are you talking about when I'm referring to to and fro the same old spots ?

The same old spot is even easier. You're already familiar with how to clear CIQ, where to get your taxi, bus or train transit. Why bother others to come to receive you? You wait for me and I wait for you, I look for you and you look for me, wasting all the time. The seasoned traveler just check out and go and visit them.

I tell you, it's a personal choice. There are times when you feel the need for being adventurous; there are times when you prefer to have a companion. There is no adventure when you're already so familiar with the airports.

Re-read. I've already said it's not necessarily about adventuring, it can also be about too frequent routine and saving time. If you're about personal preference, I have no objection. I've also said, safety of lady friends or relatives must be priority. In those cases, I won't consider it a bother if I was asked to receive them. In fact, I'd insist. But if a man, unless sick or handicapped, asked that, I'd think he should get indpendent and adventurous himself.

Re: joetys , chonburific , KYP , ...ect those who llive in thai please come in

bros ...i have a friend who wants to do biz in thai ...whether legal or illegal biz . what kind of illegal biz or legal can do in thai with little capital ? thankyou .

This is a very good question.

Ohaiyo Drifter San,

Hehehe, can only offer my opinion for Sin City and not BKK from my experience. I make the following assumptions:

1. Capital is around THB 2 million
2. Long term residence is required (Work Permit)

Most biz in Sin City is tourist related. The more easy and fastest way is to 'buy' over existing biz. Most of the biz are for take over due to "Farang returning home, Farang retired to upcountry or simply poor management". Most are bar beers, massage shops, laundry (dry cleaning) and restuarants which the Koreans has been doing this, whereas the Russians prefer to start their own Tour companies, properties and souvenir shops biz etc.

Bro, when u said 2mil so roughly is SGD 83k. That is what we call an alternative investment. Ive thought of that too. Bar beers, massage shop think can forget about it. Not much good review from google but then again, there are some who will get profit from it.

Samui I think very saturated? I dont know. For us is a plus cos we can speak english to farang, alot of times due to chicken and duck talk, khun thai lose alot of farang business, unless dirt cheap for whatever it is.
