This evening healthy activity and dinner at a community mall near home.

In Bangkok a community mall is a building that has a few shops the mix is usually - a few small simple restaurants, 1-2 small bank branches, clinic, beauty centre, pet grooming, small supermarket etc. It's basically a small shopping area for the houses or condos around it. Many Thais call these community malls Avenue as there's a company who opened a many community malls known as Avenue.

This is my first time to visit this Panya Village having moved here 11 months

Exercise and keep yourself healthy so that you can enjoy life to the fullest. Take care of your teeth too as you need them to enjoy food.

Sushi Hiro is a chain of restaurants in Thailand that serves great sashimi. When you go into any one of their restaurants you can be assure of the freshest fish and they had almost any type of Japanese fish you can find including puffer fish. Fresh seafood comes twice a week so you can be assured what they supply is always good.

Had lunch there today

I am a frequent customer of this restaurant for a long time, there was even a period of time where my colleagues and I dine there like 4 times a week easily 2k a month there (company pay for it). One bad thing about this restaurant is the customer service sucks, staff always not organised to serve customers and its the same in their other branches that I had visited so it seems that the problem really lies in the management.
