Re: drink prices in bars

the difference ranges are about 20 baht. Does that worry you? If so you could always be a sad B and sit outside a convenience store drinking beer on your own, or with retards, or give up. My advice? Go to the marriott and order an expensive cocktail. At least you'll have sometime to talk about befo...

The term "Rye" bread as mentioned on the Fatcat menu is a faulty translation of the Danish "Rug Brød". It has no resemblance whatsoever with American Rye, which I remember as being a sourdough white bread with cumin seeds (presumably originally Jewish - salmon on rye, corned bee...

I have to agree with SJ here, it's blindingly obvious why the exchange rate is important, it's almost rhetorical. The original post is slightly supercilious IMO but that's just me. Sorry if you don't like it but........hey, doesn't matter. hehe I said Pompous because I hadn't even thought supercili...
