We miss our “Chicken Skin Guy” and our “Pork Skewer Guy”… 555. Couldn’t live without BUMGUN so we put them in our Indiana home. Called a handheld bidet if you are looking at Lowe’s.
Tipping: Yes, tip in Thailand!!!! It's not a matter of whether it's culturally expected, it's called being a decent person. If you traveled to Thailand half a world away, you can afford it, and it's a big help. Especially tip for massage. That 300 baht (about $10 US) full hour massage you get, only 100 baht goes to the masseur and the other 200 goes to the shop. Tip at least 200 baht. You triple their earnings for their time and you still get an hour of massage for less than $17. Other stuff you can tip less on. Grab rides, for example, the driver is getting 75% of the fee, so they're less dependent on tips.
Really? You need to spray water all over your anus at the mall??? smh Sure, spray that fecal bacteria all over the place in public so other people come in contact with it. They don't have it in the mall because it's not sanitary.
I paid $60 for a 6 0z lobster roll and 12 oz of lobster bisque soup in Manhattan just before Christmas (tip included). Mind you, both were loaded with lobster meat, but the real expense is the rent on the commercial space and the wages of the employees (who deserve to be paid enough to live in NYC). In Oregon, the will not allow you to pump your own gas, and NJ used to have that same law in the 90's & earlier, but not sure about today. I'm visiting Manhattan right now (from sunny, warm California) and it's 28 F. I love how the cold air *instantly* wakes me up, even better than coffee. Mind you, when you live in it year after year, it gets old *real quick*. lol
One thing you might not realize about the US is that servers have minimum wage that is half of the regular minimum wage. I agree tipping in US is out of control, you go for take out the have a tip jar on the counter. Places where you never tipped now has a tip jar. Where I use to get my hair cut you can't make an online appointment unless you put in a tip.
I went to a drive-thru oil change place that I've gone to for years and they wanted 15% to 20% for doing what they've done for years. I will never go back. I was disgusted, not by the employees, but by the owner not doing his job to pay his employees a reasonable wage for what they do.
What I miss in USA...Thai Coffee Shops...Thai 7/11's & of course prices for Fruits & Veggies 😉

The backdrops on all of your videos are always on point! Happy Holidays!
I really like this butt shower in Thailand and get annoyed when they don't have it sometimes in the malls.
I resonate with that. I was quickly converted.

In NJ one still cannot pump their own gas. (but one can fuel up their EV)

@@le_th_ slip the employees your number, you don't need a fancy garage to do an oil change.
