Are you staing through the rainy season?

If not, where will you go?

You need to get a video to capture the feel of 100 motor scooters working their way through stopped traffic to get at the front of the line when the light turns green then all roaring off in and out of traffic.

I'm surprised by the number of high-end cars on that Bangkok street. I was under the impression the tarifs are sick.

A couple more random questions:
Will I be able to get quality imported beer and good bourbon anywhere? Does Bangkok have any upmarket liquor stores? I'd be willing to pay a premium.

I started learning Thai and have a question for those who speak some. Do you use the politeness word (sounds like "krahp" for male speakers) when starting conversations with everyone? What about little kids or people my own age I meet at a bar? At what point in the conversation do you stop using it?

There are some very high end wine shops and liquor stores in Phuket in particular. Can't remember exact brands etc, and you might pay a pretty penny, but might be able to find what you are looking for. Just remember the liquor buying hours. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I always use the polite term when speaking and don't really ever drop it mostly because I like to use it as an affirmative answer. Like when in a taxi and asked "Do you want off here?" "Ka, kup khun ka" sort of deal. This may have to do with my Canadian passport, though. Not completely sure what you mean when 'starting conversation' though. Do you just mean when you first meet someone, or as a way to open a conversation?

It's really cold in Stockholm today. Why am I not on a beach in Thailand? Seriously, why not?
