hehehe. chinesr tea for old office lah. new shop will have chinesr tea but non-premium ones. btw, decide to go ahrad with a small wine cabinet. think about 12 bottles. shop advise me to get 8 red and 4 white. from his experience.
Like I said yesterday, the shop will be able to help you on this, they are the expert. As you mentioned you know nothing about wine its perfectly ok, if customer ask for wine invite them to choose the wine themselves. If they need help you should prepare a short comment on each wine and I am sure you can get it from your supplier if not google. As far as wine is concern I am a sucker for good glasses. Go for some nice crystals for your wine I advise because customers will be impressed and come back just because you're different from the other wine places. In Thailand you can hardly find a wine place with decent wine glasses.
As for nice crystals you don't need to look very far and spend too much, surprisingly the world famous OCEAN Thai brand glass maker had invested in a world class crystal production in Thailand and the brand is Lucaris (I actually discovered this only recently while shopping in CK Tang Singapore for some nice brandy glasses to take it to my Jakarta condo). Its really good quality and inexpensive compared to the european brands. Funny, cannot find it in Bangkok but when I look at their website for the first time a few minutes ago they are all over outside Bangkok except in Bangkok. Here's the Pattaya contact if you'd like to know.
No you may not call me boss as I am not one. Just an investor and shareholder here.
Hehehe. Thanks roti for the rare Burmese pics.Mae Sai is a border town. Like all border towns everywhere else in the world, it sees its fair share of immigrants.
However, in recent times, the number of immigrants have exploded to the point that it seems that there seems more of them than incumbent Thais.
In Mae Sai establishments such as clinics, post offices, stores etc. you will find dual-language signage. Thai and Burmese language.
Most of the immigrants are either Burmese or Tai Yai. Although Tai Yais hail from the Shan state in Myanmar, and so are technically Myanmarese, they are different and not only just in appearance. Different language, culture, food, clothing etc.
One way you can tell is by clothing. Burmese men wear a sarong-like cloth called the lungyi.
Burmese women put a yellow powdery substance called Thanaka (from the bark of a tree) on their faces to beat the heat. This is different from northern Thais and Tai Yai who merely use talc. Not my photo but this shows an example
A Tai Yai women in traditional dress. She is probably in town to make tamboon - they dress up to go to the wat as people used to do in the west to go to church.

And how do they come from Tachilek. A common mode of transport is the Burmese tuk-tuk which is different than the Thai version. It is significantly bigger for one and uses a bigger bike. Thye smaller ones (as here) seat 12 and the larger ones seat up to 18. You can tell it's Burmese by the license plate as well.
Russian neighbor see we work so hard and offer us a plate of Russian smoked pork. Aroi but missing the chilli sauce.
