Well...I decided to go to Sukhumvit straight from the airport and find me a hotel over there. After a short sleep I woke up in the afternoon and walked around a bit. Not easy to get used to the warmth... I was sweating a lot.Later I went to Absolut 7, but there was nobody there. Played some pool, collected a discount card: 643.There is something with 3's and 4's in my life... that's why I took that number. I was born in a street on number 3, then I moved to 304, to 34, to 43, to 143.. Now I live on 426. Oh... two years ago I was on a holiday and 5 times, yes 5 times I was put in room number 3. Now I am in 11, the fools number.... don't know what that's supposed to mean. It was a bit of a strange day though... Tomorrow I'll move to another hotel, wonder what number they'll offer me. Hope it's not 11...Still interesting lol?--------------------------- One thing I really liked today was when I was eating at a food stall this evening. I ordered moo jang, som tam and khao niao. I got the moo jang very quickly and it was delicious of taste. Omg how I've missed that taste! I had to wait very long for my som tam though and I saw that others were being served, while they'd come later. I already felt a bit grumpy, but decided to wait politely. Then the lady piped at me: "Khao niao finished, want khao suay?" That really pissed me off. I said 'no' and then she said 'ok ok'. I told her she had to make me a som tam too.....Then she realized her mistake that she had forgotten about me, and a client went into the bucket with khao niao. I saw him taking the last bits!!! WTF! Then, she was very quickly in making a super delicious som tam and you know what? The customer turned his back and put the last scraps of khao niao on my table!!!! Suddenly I was very happily surprised, and my thoughts were: "Thailand.....I love you!!!!"

Welcome to Thailand Joeri.

Have a great holiday and see ya on sat. na ka

geeze Joeri! Save the last bite of sticky rice for me!

is your som tam spicy?

i believe u now how much you long for thai food lol..

@ smiley: thank you cu on sat...

@ ladyvin: I deleted your msg 10x, but that's no problem, you have something with 11 too eh? Don't ya? *wink*

I like my som tam phet mak! And I LOVE sticky rice... come and take it because I've saved some for you!

Welcome home!

I know the feeling ... having a bad day suddenly people are so nice... GOD I HATE NY! I should make a new profile and call it GOD IHATENY I'm posting it almost ever journal. Don't get me wrong NY is great.... to visit but people are very different here from Thailand and Florida (southern US... where Disney is lol) where I grew up.

i wanna eat somtam too!

i love 11 it is my bd.

I was born on the 3rd, but that doesn't help you, does it?

But some good news: I am not so keen about khao niao so if we ever meet in the same street stall you can have the last bit of that while I go for some extra som tam - isn't that nice 555

If you want some culinary recommendations for the area were you are planning to move, just drop me a line, you know I am addicted, so I will be online 24/7.

Have fun.

P.S.: don?t forget to try Yam Ta Krai

welcome to Thailand, don't forget to try nam tok nua/moo (slide grilled beef/pork spicy salad) next time it's so yummy with khoa niao.
