This evening 90 kgs of moo arrived and now there is at least 25 people preparing the porker. The guys would appear to be doing the heavy work with the big blades ( and loakow of course). The more delicate butchering is being taken care of by the women. Certainly a great atmosphere with lots of laughter. Might get a bit messy later on. Events like this are what family and “the village” are all about. It’s not for everyone of course but I feel privileged to be involved. They sure know how to make the best of every little scrap, and have a damn good time at it. Thai whiskey consumed in large quantities. You have to know though when it is time to best make a casual exit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to get some decent cheese now. Probably my favourite tipple, every Xmas I would treat myself to 2 bottles of vintage port, decant it and on xmas day the family would all sit together to open presents and toast the day. The rest would be for me to consume after dinner and into the night. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you are staying on Soi 6. Have a walk through to the Soi 8 area (if you are not yet familiar with it yet). Lots of great places to eat and steps away from Nana station. My go to hood when in BKK. There is a cut through that connects at the end of six which leads into the Soi 8 area. Right at that walk-through connection area is Lolitas (i've never gone into it cause that just ain't my thing), but if you are tuckered out on your walk could be a good place for a short break.

I believe it's a case of if they're not going to sell online, they're not going to the time and expense of listing what's available in the stores. Interesting you can order online from Viall Market, but not Tops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that now when I clicked on one of the alcoholic items. Silly law you can't order online. I checked the item list from the distributor we order hash beer from and unfortunately I didn't see a port listed. If they had it, a call to them would get it delivered, just as I do for the hash beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was trying to figure out where to put my thoughts on something I was just thinking. Regarding typical anti drinking/drugs whatever ads. peoples thoughts, or shrink theories..... They will always try to stick in the - "oh, they're turning to alcohol for some escape, or it was forced upon them (now they are hooked), or everyone else was doing it..... blah blah blah". They never add to mention..... "Yeah, and because when they discovered that everyone else was doing it, they discovered why. Because it is so fcuking good.

I'm hoping there is some Hard Chard in the fridge in TOPS, nice and cold ready to take upstairs too !! I hope you get a good selection. Here in the UK, we are spoilt for choice with cheeses and wines for Christmas. There are also some bloody good deals on cost as well. I loved my food in Thailand but Christmas time was rather expensive. Even cooked a capon (from Makro) instead of a turkey to save money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife and little one also love the Wensleydale and cranberries. They got a love for that cheese after visiting the Wensleydale cheese factory in Hawes in Yorkshire. If ever in the vicinity of Hawes and hungry, make a detour to the shop at the factory as they have all their cheese selections on show and you can nibble free of charge as you go around. They must have at least 30 types of cheese which is added to around the Christmas period. You will not be hungry afterwards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Zambo Posted December 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2023 Recovering from a minor heart attack. I went for a drink at Kull Sportsbar last night as i had to check out the timings at Planet Football. Halfway home i noticed that my phone was missing so i went back to the bar. They really searched, tried to call (i didn't remember the number) i couldn't have asked for more help. Finally everyone stopped crawling around the floor looking and the boss said to return at 1pm the next day to give her time to check the CCTV. When i got back home i rang the number and found my phone. I went back to Kull bar, apologised and they even bought me a beer. Nice people 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
