I always carry some toilet paper in my pocket when in Thailand. LOL My Thai buddy says the secret to getting around Thailand without sudden toilet emergencies is to never drink the broth from your noodle bowl. LOL.

Even better is one of those teeny tiny foldable towels like you got from a camping supply store. Fit perfectly in your fashionable murse. At times I've considered carrying a spare pair of under shorts.

Terminal 21 food court is cheap and gets pretty good reviews.

Called Pier 21 and I absolute concur with this. You give them cash and they give you a card that you can load up to 500 THB. Hard to spend 200 THB even if you are really hungry. Great movie theater next to Pier 21. There is also a gourmet Thai Food restaurant that has won awards. But I have not eaten there. Terminal 21 is like my second home. I like the place!

There is a giant Christmas tree up outside. I was like, WTF?

Does anyone have suggestions for decent Thai food near the Nana area? One thing I love about traveling to Thailand is their delicious food.

I used to like Det5 on Soi 8. Has a nice outdoor seating area with trees strung with lights and swamp cooler misters like they use by the benches in football. When you sit down they give you a nice refrigerated wash cloth. Their Larb Moo & Green Curry were good and plentiful, not really cheap though. Don't know if Det5 is still in operation or not, haven't been back since a few years before the Chyna virus.

Too funny about the toilets. Thai call it Ya Dom.

It's Rule 97.5, Section 2 of Travelers Rules for Life: There is a distinct correlation between the time of sudden attack of diarrhea and the filthiness / stench of the nearest toilet.

I have never gone anywhere without Ya Dom for as long as I can remember. Siang Pure usually because it's more pocket size, but since I have been carrying a murse, I usually have one of the little jars or bottles with me.

Back in the day, we used Vicks Vaporub. Try being around a 6 day floater in the summer without it.

Herbal inhalers. Wakes you up. Nice smell. A neccisity in public toilets. One in each nostril.

I've been to Thailand several times. I've noticed that many Thai ladies have something the shape of chapstick that they put up to their nose and sniff. For some it seems like it is an addiction. What exactly is that stuff?

I bought one in the stick form and the herbal inhaler in a small squat bottle. Says on the bottle: "To USE: Relief and ease the nasal congestion of flu". Some strong smells can hit you here. And you can use them to refresh from that shock. Air pollution is bad at times here.

I think they are great!

Yep.

They think it has medicinal properties, and they are always fighting colds.

Not exactly Nana but just a 5 to 10 minutes walk from there.

Located just below the Asok bts station, at the entrance of soi 14.

Nothing fancy, just a typical Thai restaurant.

They serve good food, but it can be crowded at times.

Ok place, bit overpriced, but location, location.

Believe it or not, Thermae have some decent Thai food

Haven't had it since pre COVID but Thermae has good pad ka prao. Sometimes I ordered fries there too and they are always crispy. The fries are fun cause the girls would come to me and steal some.

For Thai food just see where all the Thai girls are lining up. Then you know it'll be good.

You going to get some arguments, but in my humble opinion, there is no super great Thai food in the Nana area. The seafood is overpriced by the way. I tend to eat on Soi Arab, Scherezade is good, so is Bamboo. Margarita storm for Mexican. Believe it or not, Thermae have some decent Thai food as does Nana. I prefer to go down to Phra Kanong, Phrom Pong or Silom or Yaowarat.

I'd get a cheapie in America. I'd ask friends or family is any has an old phone they don't use anymore and buy that cheap.

Thanks for the idea. I did just what you said. A friend is dropping off his old phone for us to use for a month tomorrow for the cost of a lunch.
