Can't you see from his lifestyle in Thailand that he didn't get screwed by PAP? Those getting lots of them are you and me.

Old Siam Place is no flash mall, has Thai design with range of kanom (snacks). Includes real honey bee combs.

 

[yinyang]

Just opposite is the oldest mall in Bkk (and Thailand? Nightingale mall has also retained old sales staff who have worked past 40 years. Got a kick of old stuff on display, including manual gym equipment, wifi and retro make up counter

This evening I went to a porridge shop in old Bangkok area near Shangri La

Here's a short video I made


I'm sure Jok Prince took the name from this very very old cinema nearby in this small soi

Shop front

Long queue for take away, so if you eat there simply go in and find yourself a seat and someone will very quickly come take your order

Narrow shop

Porridge is prepared

My dinner

Prices

Ok my comment on this porridge stall, I have to say its the best I've had so far in my 13 years here, the porridge is the smoothest, minced pork is big and generous. But coming from Singapore I have to say I prefers the Tiong Bahru porridge but then living in Bangkok this is probably the place I will go for my fix, parking is very challenging though.

This is the location - https://goo.gl/maps/hF5vMnCov2v

I think I should switch career to be a screw salesman, maybe a nail salesman.
