Pizza; flower delivery

Anyone know of a service where I can order pizza in USA for
delivery in Bangkok? Or a good flower delivery service where I can
do the same with flowers? Thanks. I wasn't sure what group to post
this in, this is the closest I could come.

Thanks for the replies, especially the guy who supplied the url.
Another problem has crept in that makes me hesitate; that is a story on
another board about having to have his credit card reissued once he gave
it to a Thai restaurant. I don't know if my plan is worth the risk.

I don't know how the pizza works, but in Malaysia there is tomyam-flavored
everything. Ramen, chips (crisps), donuts, etc. Maybe even ice cream (why
not? there's bean ice cream; it's only a small step from there).

There's a much greater risk of fraud if you use your credit card in person.
Then they can clone it, including the other security features. Via a web
site they just get the number, name, and expiration date.

My experience is that the average person in Bangkok spoke better
English
than most Americans - buy hey I'm English and biased!

The average vocabulary in Krung Thep holds perhaps 50-100 words.

Again, you appear to have seen a different Thailand than I have.
English is taught in elementary schools. While few get completely
fluent, even the worst know more than 50-100 words.

There is something wrong/incomplete in this claim of yours. I have met
hundreds of thais in need to say something. This set is quite arbitrary and
also most random. I suppose it well represents the Thai population in
general. Most often fluency is an improper adjective to discribe their
skills because they are next to nothing. In some countries English is a
widely spoken rag head language. Thailand is not one of those countries.
Where the British rule did not reach it's greedy hands, Asia has has mostly
ignored the English language. I can understand this perfectly well. There
has been little use for it.

Many of the Thai I work with speak better English than you do.

This is no argument at all. However, you have never witnessed (fortunately)
me speaking in English (enklantti). Moreover, I don't believe you have a
job.

True. And if your credit card is misused, you don't have to pay.
Annoying to get a card replaced, but that's minor.

I've used my credit cards literally hundreds of times in Thailand.
Never had a problem. I've had problems with someone stealing my CC
info twice in my life. Once when I used it in Florida and once when I
used it in Jakarta. Never in Thailand.

Although your question is not quite on-topic here in rta, you made me
curious: why would someone want to order a pizza in USA and want it
delivered in Bangkok? The picture of a somewhat smashed and cold pizza in a
FedEx envelope came to my mind...

curious:.... tmo!

As a present for a friend in Bangkok? Of course it would be made near
the delivery point. Same with flowers.

There are moms doing grocery shopping for their kids, even though they
be 2,000 miles away in college these days, so I don't think it's a
silly question. It might be a bit much to expect an English-language
interface, though.

Try http://www.pizza.co.th/1112/

Cool... 447 baht (about US$11) for a large pizza with crispy crust,
Tom Yum Kung and Capsicum (whatever those are- shrimp and peppers?).

First is a shrimp soup, second are red and green peppers. Not
particularly spicy, but a little bit.

Of course, I'm familar with the Thai soups. But how is a shrimp soup a
pizza topping? Is it perhaps just the shrimp with the hot/sour
flavo[u]r?

Yes.

(Loved the bi-lingual spelling) :-)

Credit card frauds are too common in Thailand anyways.
