Of course, you should wash your hands first.

And, maybe just as important, afterwards!

Needless to say.

I love curried chicken and I imagine Thai curry chicken as a meal to die for. I am drowning in my saliva with the thought of it. In the Philippines the dish is usually cooked with potatoes and bell pepper with coconut milk as well. The milk and potatoes make it really creamy and savory, while the oil from the chicken gives it the mouth-watering, sparkling glaze. It is usually not so very spiced up that a sauce maybe prepared using fish sauce with red or green hot chili pepper dashed in with calamansi juice (the next best thing to lemon in the Phils.) - the aroma from the sauce could get anyone really heavy with appetite. I do not finish without having my third and fourth servings, and usually with two glasses of ice cold cola drink to seal up the hearty meal.

I am sorry I wasn't able to catch up with the conversation here because I thought there was only one page. I was excited about sharing my love for curried food, which was the topic on first page, when you have gone all the way talking about western fastfood stores, using chopsticks, etc. in the last 3 pages. Pls bear with the newbie

I totally agree with your post. Not only the above-mentioned restaurants, but also the number of bakeries has increased exponentially. And Thais are buying more and more bread these days - more specifically Thais in Bangkok. If you're looking to start a business in Bangkok, I suggest a Thai Bakery.

Great, now the Thais can pig out on doughnuts. Will we see all the fat cops in the doughnut shop? Instead of tea money, it will be expanded to tea and doughnut money.

Thailand already has Mr. Donut and Dunkin' Donuts among other donut shops. What does it matter if Krispy Creme's opens here too?

[eleothegreat]

I've never tried Krispy Kreme. LOL. We don't have it here in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines. So whenever anyone gets to go to manila, that's what they bring back to our Poor little provincial city of ours hahaha!

Krispy Kreme - heart attack in the palm of your hand. But oh man, tastes so good.

When they are hot, they are even better. You can't beat a fresh donut and a good cup of coffee.

[lvdkeyes]

In moderation Krispy Kremes are no more a heart attack threat than many other things.

Those are some of my favorites, as well. The seafood in Thailand is great. I believe many farangs choose to retire in Thailand because of the good food.

[lvdkeyes]

Although I love Thai food, the cost of living was much more of a factor in my decision to retire here.

[Beer Chang]

Great food at low prices works for me!

[Wino]

I am sure good food, cheap cost of living, and friendly natives are just three of many factors in making Thailand a retirement destination.
