: 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. |

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? 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). miguel -- Hit The Road!

Via a web site they just get the number, name, and expiration date. miguel -- Hit The Road! Photos from 32 countries on 5 continents: http://travel.u.nu |

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. |

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. Credit card frauds are too common in Thailand anyways. |
