I know someone who has a tea shop & they use: https://chatramue.com It is The Best in Thailand, if you enjoy tea, try it.

Wow, I used to get a haircut in Banchang for 20 THB, & understand now it is still only 50 THB.

I have not used shaving cream or a razor in ages, & electric shaver are cheaper in the L.o.S..

If you are in the FB breakfast group, there is often advertising about products at Pattaya stores. When they mention R.H., it is not the RockHouse.

Eight Millimeter

Here is a weird one you may have never seen: Four Rooms four stories, one of which was written & starred in by Q.T.

Salma Hayek

I normally would not know this, but I thought her being cast in Streets of Fire was just odd.

some Thai vowels sounds like French, but try to get anyone to say Gyro correctly outside of the Meditteranean

If the point is communication, to me anyway, spelling two completely different vowel sounds with the same letter is a fail. พันธุ์ทิพย์ to me that is just Tip, the same tip in the fish sauce name, TipaRot ทิพรส The only difference being the ย์ at the end, most likely denoting it is a borrowed word from another language, which probably used to end in Y

Another example of the same: Panthip Plaza It is not pronounced like the pan in frying pan, but almost everyone who reads Panthip will pronounce it that way.

It is all wrong though, which is why people around the world are pronounce Putt-Thai like notepad. The U is the same my-hun-agaht. It is not an A sound.

I ran, I run not the same sound The my-hun-aghaht sound is very different from the Ah sound This is Thai transliterations of the U sound, & you can clearly see the My-Hun-Agaht vowel being used.

Good luck getting a taxi there if you recite the name from that horrible transliteration. No, I am not blaming the O.P., but this is a prime example of why I have a big problem with the nationwide system of transliteration. This is the name in Thai: ศาลหลักเมือง The first word is Sahn (shrine), pronounced with a long Ah sound, like open up & say Ah http://thai-language.com/id/133501#def2 second word: Luck, pronounced the same way we would say Good Luck thai-language.com - หลัก Meuang is the easy one, to finish out the National Pillar Shrine So, why would they use the same letter A, for San & Lak, when they sound completely different?!

Hom Tanks was in Volunteers & I do recommend it, because it was actually filmed in Thailand

They have many branches, including Chiang Mai.

gOOgle Maps claim it is permanently closed:

F.L.B. Su was the shag of a lifetime, but she insisted she was going to fly the F.L.B. coop when her U.S. Navy fiancée came back for her. I guess that happened, because she disappeared.

I think I remember the ads in the local rag, they had a woman holding a crab or a lobster.

It did remind me of a lovely weekend I spent at Residence Garden with a great lady who I brought from Bangers. Yes, I took sand to the beach, I also took a couple of Banchang 'hostesses' up to Nana one weekend.

not a movie, but Posey was in White Lotus on HBO, season three was filmed in Phuket & Samui She was hilarious with her terrible pronunciations of Thai food.

Agoda always worked well for me & there is a qualifier for Kitchen:

Residence Garden have decent kitchens, but you will need to take a song-taaw (Baht-bus) to get almost anywhere:

The Sweetest Thing (where she & her castmates are filthy)
