I can get free delivery on Thai, Chinese and Indian meals in the UK but it is not the best reason why I live here......surely??? Especially for you....when there is all that delicious Thai food to be had in Hua Hin :wink:

I can get all manner of Thai food at the bottom of my soi in Thailand at any hour or a McMuffin delivery, I can't do either in England.

Hangovers are sorted in Thailand.

Try ordering your Thai, Chinese or Indian at 10 in the morning in England. :wink:

The secret is to have a takeaway the night before and leave some over for the following morning. An old friend of mine used to swear by "cold chicken tikka Massala" after a party night :wink:

Always do the same. A curry IMO is better as it gets older. Used to work in Petticoat lane in London and all the sweat shops and warehouses had a pot of curry bubbling away for weeks

Be careful how you store it though, otherwise you'll be bubbling away for weeks :(

Damn, I thought I was alone....... "Back in the day" (shite I'm only just over 40), after a good night out the sustenance of choice was a beef curry and fried rice - left virtually untouched due to slight mechanical problems with the fork and directional issues with the aforementioned curry ... :oops: The remainder of the feast would then be placed precariously in an area of the fridge wholly unprepared for such culinary delights.......

It also tasted damn fine in the morning (once remembered and found) prior to heading to the local for a lunchtime hair of the dog....... just wish I could still do it!!

[EDIT] Or my dear wife would allow it!!

:cheers: :cheers:

92? You can order a product in Bangkok, pay for it online and it's on the bus to you the same day and actually gets here.

93. I can pay bills instantly in any 7-11

94. No street thugs or gangs giving you the 'Oo yew ferkin' lookin' at?"

95. Corruption. If you've got the money it can work for you.

96. If I head for the kitchen to whip up an omelette, I'm immediately rugby-tackled, with a severe warning... 'Man not do'.

Not really though.... :D

Bartering is the exchange of one product for another - no money involved. "Ill give you a bag of rice for that chicken young man"

Haggling a price is trying to get a number down - money involved. :D "Knock it down to 50 baht and you have a customer buddy" :D

:cheers:
