    The hundreds of Spa's and resorts around the dive destinations that offer Yoga, which will benefit your breathing rate and breath control underwater.

    Cool; I have not seen those before. Would I find them among the ubiquitous carved elephants in Patong stalls?

    Much of what is posted here is in jest, and is not intended to be taken seriously. The sarcasm is often so subtle it's hard to detect.

    Thanks for that. I'll set out tomorrow informing all the noodle stall owners here in Korat that they no longer need to supply chopsticks with their wares.

    Of course, you know these upcountry people; at least a couple of centuries behind the times....

    Oh, no! More chopsticks?

    Ms. B brought dinner home from the market tonight including Ba Mii for the kid. Look what the idiot vendor included with the noodles: chopsticks!

    Will these Thai people never learn? Thais do not use chopsticks, they use only fork and spoon.

    Thai people use chop sticks very selectively in my experience. In general they use a spoon and fork, in rather rare occasions they use chop sticks.
    Chop sticks are around though and every Thai knows how to use them! The Kwetiao soup for instance a lot of times is served with chop sticks, Chinese style food is mostly served with chopsticks.

    All rice dishes are however served with spoon and fork, afaik and the main staple for Thais is rice!

    You guys do realize that when I cited a sitcom character as my source I had to be joking, right?

    Still not heard the outcome of what happened at Samae San with reference to the saltwater crocs in my post No 403. Does anyone have any info on the latest situation?
