A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

I think the dessert looks better, what looks like a pair C-cups wrapped in red satin.

Wah, your eyes ever so sharp to notice fringe menu

Keen eyes KYP but I need to make some slight adjustments by moving the alphabet up one notch to D. Yes this one no ordinary Hazard. No dessert pii, just good friend now who need company to Yaowarat buy gold so 顺便 go Scala makan la. Now I go home.

Wah lan eh, how come I miss this one hah? Maybe I really 'yao gui', only see the food and miss other detail??

 

[Alamaking]

How about this for lunch now with Hazard?

Sharks Fins Soip and DouMiao

Urghh.... I miss BKK food....

Just came back from running errands. From Asoke to MBK to Siam Discovery to Siam Center, and back to Thonglor. Yet to find time to visit the new Central Fortune (not sure what it's called). Everything in Thailand seems to be 10B. It kinda reminds you that the world is still beautiful and affordable

I have honed my bargaining skills while in ROC. I find it's something that Singaporeans are not very well versed. I put it to good use today @ the spectacles shop and MBK...

I finally found the main supplier of textile fabrics for tailors in Bangkok. It's called "Baron's Fashion" and it's along Sukhumvit between Ploenchit and Nana. The laolan tailor @ Amarin Plaza bulled me about his Egyptian cotton etc. I found them all in "Baron's Fashion", and 20% cheaper than those Amarin tailors.

I thought that you have resided in thailand for quite a long period of time so you're quite used to the lifestyle in thailand already?

I want to start a topic on police and army ranks in Thailand. I don't seem to be able to tell their rank just by looking at the uniform.

Any bro want to start the ball rolling ?

I read that the army and the police have some sort of competition going on. Both sides try and take good publicity and plant bad publicity on one another. The military has also controlled thailand thru dicatatorships for many years in the past. Is this still the case? Is the present thai govt under some sort of general's influence in the background?

The thai army is definitely more garang than the sg army obviously and holds greater respect. I read the story of some fren he was in some thai club in BKK and he was making frens with some thai ladies and one of the ladies snubbed 1 thai guy so he actually brought a gun to threaten him. Anyway this guy also had a thai fren from the army so he spoke to that guy that brought the gun and the guy apologised and left them alone.

Oh, this is interesting. One-Star is not a general, but a Sub-Lieutenant :

Wow...this is the rank of a Wing Commander:

Starting from :

Air Cadet > Pilot Officer > Flying Officer > Flying Lieutenant > Squadron Leader > Wing Commander
> Group Captain > Senior Group Captain > Air Vice Marshal

This one is machiam Lieutenant Colonel. If zha boh commander, consider very senior. One rank below Captain (or Colonel in Sinkeeland).

Hehehe. Don't play play. This one husband probably 1-2 ranks above her.

It's a given fact with rivalry between army and police -even on business, legit or otherwise (much has been written on same). Military coups in past attest to their clout in thai political tapestry. Imho, both got own "lobby" support

Ok guys cool it these are no gods, all these rankings and authorities and prowess comes to nothing in Thailand because simply the entire military establishment takes it call from the openly gay general Prem. Don't believe me, I found it from google.
