  1. Looks great! Which restaurant was this at?
  2. Be careful of high protein diets - it can cause blood glucose levels to increase. I went on a high protein diet quite a while ago and after my annual physical, my doctor told me that all my results were great except for my blood sugar level. I told her about my diet and her response was that the high level was due to glucogenesis. She recommended that I reduce my protein intake.
  3. May I ask which brands in Pattaya are better than Yellow Label?
  4. Note to self - search for a place in Pattaya that serves a similar meal πŸ™‚ Looks amazing!
  5. Hello All. I have noticed that since moving to Thailand, none of the pics in the threads are displayed. I tried both the hotel internet and my mobile phone as the hotspot device. Would welcome any suggestions on what settings I need to change to see the pics. I have not made any changes to the settings on my laptop. Thank you in advance.
  6. You beat me by a few days πŸ™‚ I start mine on 8 October! Flying Thai Airways. Leave on Saturday at 12:30pm - arrive 6:00am on Sunday.
  7. Hello All. I applied for the O Visa "via" the London Embassy on Wednesday (13 Sept) and I got the notification this morning that it was approved πŸ™‚ I was a bit worried about it being declined since I am in the UK on a Tier-2 General work visa but it all worked out. I am an Australian citizen and my work visa was issued using the Oz passport. I used my annual Staysure Insurance Policy for the health insurance requirement. I used my council tax bill as proof of my address. it was a relatively painless application. Next step, BKK!!!
  8. I think that Central Marina is also becoming a white elephant, judging by my last trip there.
  9. This seems to be the case in almost every lounge that I have used πŸ™‚ The exception that I found is the staff at the United Lounge in T7 at LAX (Los Angeles). They were the most helpful and friendly.
  10. I visited both the Singapore and United lounges last year, I thought that the United one was better. It was more spacious. Both offered similar food and beverage offerings during the breakfast hours. If I had to choose, it would be the United one. if you are a Star Alliance Gold member, I would recommend that you visit both and see which one you prefer.
  11. Ahh - fresh avocados. Looks good! The avocados here in the UK are all imported, mainly from South America. I have yet to find some that tastes like the ones you get in the USA. I know that most of it comes from Mexico, but it is still fresh.
  12. I am surprised that you found Emirates better than Singapore Airlines (SQ). But I agree that it all depends on your personal experiences. I have been a big fan of SQ, but when I flew with them last year in economy, it was very disappointing. The service levels have definitely dropped (like no hot towels, mid flight snacks etc).
  13. Watching a series called "Bosch" on Freevee via Amazon Prime. I am quite impressed πŸ™‚ Others may disagree.
  14. Look great Larry! I remember seeing avocados in Villa Market at 129Baht each. It was from New Zealand. Hope yours was much cheaper.
  15. This looks delicious! I hope that it tasted as good as it looks. The best chicken kebabs I had was at a Greek restaurant in Steveston, which is near Vancouver, Canada. Was this at a restaurant in the UK?
  16. I have a soft spot for sweet potatoes πŸ™‚ I used to really enjoy the variety that I used to be able to get in California. How did you prepare yours? baked or boiled? Thanks in advance.
  17. I am wondering if living in a high rise building helps via the sea breeze if you are living close to the beach?
  18. I flew BC on United once from Sydney to San Francisco. I did not find it too comfortable since I am a side sleeper, and the place were you place your feet while sleeping is very limited. If choosing BC because of the legroom offered vs the chance to have a very comfortable sleep, then I can understand the choice made. I have flown economy with Singapore and Thai mostly. I always get a window seat so that I can place the pillow against the window and have a very comfortable sleep. Of all the airlines that I have flown, Singapore provided the best experience in economy. Maybe one I retire I will try BC once again.
