Not sure the point you are making, but I think he was anything but experienced. He has been out in Hong Kong since Summer 2013, and is now 29. He seems to have had a long time Filipina girl friend...

I agree it's a shit test question, but it's one that gets asked in various forms.

Perhaps I'm a complete wimp, but after many years of marriage, I don't really see it as a battle. You don't want...

In my experience a locked phone is no security. The conversation goes: 'If you have nothing to hide, then show me what's on your phone', or variations on that theme. Having your partner know the...

Of course, and there are plenty of bigots out there.

But if you want people to respect your opinions and think you are something other than a red-neck jerk, then it is probably wise to moderate...

Things getting interesting here now:

A load of oaramilitary yellow shirts around Nana when I arrived yesterday afternoon. Had gone by the evening, but I was woken by a lot of noise in the morning...

You had the cheek to post this same list of questions on another forum, where someone was kind enough to respond. Now you post the same questions here. The other answers weren't good enough for you?...

I read a great deal of scare-mongering on this forum.

I was here during the last coup and during the last red shirt 'insurrection', and I have the T-shirt to prove it. On neither occasion was it a...

That must be soooooo annoying for you.

You and me, Brits, renowned for our linguistic skills and knowledge of foreign cultures. I have schoolboy French, about a dozen words in Thai, and 4 in...

Well, it's a big country with a lot of people from diverse backgrounds and a long history, so yes, there is a lot to learn about. Not sure it is any more fascinating than any other mix of cultures.

Thanks! I appreciate your understanding!

For various reasons to do with traceability, I never use ATMs in Thailand. I take a large bundle of cash and change into Baht when needed. By far the best exchange rate can be had with the...

Because a lot of the time... er, never mind...!

I guess if you live here then dining out expensively on Western food is something to look forward to. I do it back home often enough, and I'm also...

Many thanks again. To be honest, when I said 'ambiance' I probably meant down-to-earth and unpretentious, so these all look pretty good to me (although I'm not going out for dinner in MBK!)

Many thanks, Fon Tok. The only facts in a whole series of opinion posts.

But surely there is more than one good Thai restaurant in Bangkok? :)

At the risk of inflaming the debate further, can someone suggest a nice little local restaurant serving authentic Thai food where I can celebrate my birthday, and where a cheap Thai hooker, sorry,...

Without wishing to flog a very mort cheval, I was mentioning C&C as a mildly interesting one-off experience with OK food.

Above average buffet? You may well be correct. But the thought of a table...

No. 'Opinionated' and 'patronising' are not synonyms; they are not just two ways of looking at the world. You can easily be one without the other.

Don't conform to your national stereotype, that's...

Tastes in food are obviously as diferent as tastes in women.

Zanzibar is over-priced IMO.

There's a nice little Thai restaurant at the other end of Cheap Charlie Soi ('It's just a tourist...

So f*king patronising.

Sure, it's not haute cuisine; I never said it was. The service is fine. The prIice is arguably a bit high but not excessive. 0bviously you chuck the free condoms.

You go...

Loads of good restaurants in that area, but it depends what you want regarding price and ethnicity.

Cabbages & Condoms (Soi 10?) is worth going to once if you haven't been.

Took me less time to Google the answer on my iPad whilst sitting in a Bangalore restaurant than it took you to post the question.

Can't answer the question directly, but I'm sure it is very competitively priced.

But this is not a trivial operation. You may be in significant pain for 24 hours, and will require various...

I thought that, but on reconsidering, if the condom is flat, then diameter is half the circumference. An easier way to measure it.

Well, that would have been a good story...

But actually, a few days ago, after a fairly stressful time at work, I was diagnosed with high blood presure. Surreally high; I won't even tell you the...

Devil's Den is the new name for the Hell Club. I think DD is much better than the Eden Club, so wouldn't bother with the latter.

I wouldn't bother with Patpong (perhaps one evening as a tourist)....
