Neat, the spoon is bamboo or wood. That's unusual for Thailand. Nice one Macca's

Over it today. Feeling crook for 3 days now. I'm sure eating this much will not help

Thinking that perhaps they might have it masaman on some menus, I search for that.

Apparently Cafe Amazon and Maccas do Masaman now? And another Bubble Tea joint. I loves me a masaman bubble tea.

Do these idiots not realise that this is helping nobody?

I've got a craving for massaman, so I've searched Line Man. Nope. Nada. Probably too early in the day for it. They tell me nothing found, which is OK, but then it gets dumb

Jeez windows, steady on son. Boobies on my lock screen!

Alfie Yuzu Dark Chocolate Flavour. Would not recommend. Waxiest "chocolate" ever, and bugger all Yuzu flavour.

I was sad about this one. I don't mind the normal Alfie range - it's no fine belgian chocolate, but for 10 baht it's usually cheap and cheerful. This one was not cheerful.

For reference, this is what patongo usually look like
November 28, 2025 at 8:26 AM
Wife saw someone making patongo on YouTube. Went "that looks easy", so she raced out the back. It wasn't even a "here's how to make patongo" recipe. Just someone crackin an egg in some flour then frying the dough a bit later.
This is FUCKING DELICIOUS. It's very much NOT patongo, but damn it's good!

Is it just me, or did Proper Cold Season start a bit earlier this year? I seem to recall it not being Jeans Weather for the school run until early December last year.

Mind you, now that I think about it, we've only had the scooter for a year... maybe I wasn't used to it yet.

It was COLD this morn!

I should call her

Good question. Those of you with sensitive dispositions, look away

I made a folder called 😬 and put a file called 😬.😬 in it.

Directory listing showing the short filename reports the filename is 1EAB~1 - no extension

I also tried some Thai text, some rock dots, and a standard long file name

Best avoid windows then. I was curious. Windows 10 lets you. I do not plan on doing this in anger!

We are in the future. I hummed a few tracks at this, it got them all. Amazeballs.

Wish this was around 33 years ago when I got Under The Bridge stuck in my head, but I didn't know the name of the track because the DJ didn't back announce it.

As a kid I'd put tomato sauce on everything. Used to drive my step mum bananas.

Lock her up and throw away the key. Granddaughter just put ketchup ON SALMON 😱😱😱

@smashrun.bsky.social Anyone had a longer gap than this?

I'm a walker, not a runner, went HARD for a few years back in Aus. Moved to Thailand and could no longer get out for walks without melting into a puddle.

Chucked the shoes on start of the month during school hols. Now getting up at 5am 😆

I see the dolphin too, and it is swimming FAST

I think this lady was a bit suss about having her photo taken. Or dazzled by your hair, which I assume is wonderful.

I used to be cool, man

I accidentally tried a new thing today

On the left: an OG farmhouse vanilla custard filled donut cake.

On the right: a new (to me) farmhouse corn custard filled donut cake. It's also got chunks of corn in it.

If you're in a hurry, don't just grab "the yellow one" or you'll get a chunky surprise

Washing machine shit itself, do it's laundromat for a bit. There's two near me. 24wash is my choice.
Dual language signs 😍
Chonky boy 18kg washer 💪
Super simple control panel 🤪
Easy to use app 🙏

I want an app like this for our Samsung!

This will never not be funny.

I actually quite like it too. Probably because I've not done a two or three bottle bender with it. I imagine it gives a decent hangover.

Haha, asked chatgpt to translate something to Thai for me, then put the result back through google to double check the result. Glad I did, I reckon I'll not put that first line into the Line group😅

I am quite proud of this photo.

Every year, work has a getaway. Everyone goes, has dinner, networks, etc.

I am UNBELIEVABLY shy. Brain locks up at the thought of interacting with strangers in real time. Incredibly uncomfortable.

This year, I decided to walk up and say "hi" to someone.

Go me!

*thumps chest*

I did a thing!

Pressure for the shower has been getting worse and worse. I finally got around to doing some troubleshooting. Turns out it was the tap itself. Off to Home Pro, sales dude took me straight to a similar looking tap, back home and installed it, fantastic pressure again!

This is a lie, right? This happens on a LOT of the orders - it claims that the courier was sent to pick up the item, but they failed to pick it up, so they'll schedule another one. It's just a way of stalling and buying time so they look quick, right?
