My gf is actually a chef and she's been working many years in restaurants in Bangkok and Jomtien, and probably knows every dish you can throw at her. I have tried her several times and she never fails.There are loads of bottles in the pantry and fridge,but no Chinese wine.

Cooking something in a wok doesn't mean anything. You can fry eggs in a wok or make fried rice. It doesn't mean you need some crappy Chinese wine. I've been around since 1989 and I have eaten food everywhere in Thailand. But not one "Chinese-Thai" dish as far as I can remember. Red wine vinegar has been around for decades,though.

I've been eating Thai food since 1989,and I can honestly say that I don't know what a chinese-thai dish is. I'm not hanging out in Chinatown in Bangkok or in any other Chinese populated area.

Use Rebtel instead. A very cheap and easy way to call abroad,in your case the US. Download the app,register and top-up $5. It will last a long time. I have used Rebtel for years.

My answer is how it's officially supposed to work, not about being right or wrong.

Rachel Wands From about 10-12 Thai insurance companies, not 100's.

You don't use Chinese wine in thai food incl isaan food.

I didn't say it happens all the time. But they have the right to ask and deny entry.

You can do what many tourists do. Walk from branch to branch. You might get lucky. For some reason it's actually easier in larger malls.

Brandon Thurkettle That's not entirely correct. It depends on bank and location. But there are branches that actually rejects US citizens because of the money laundering paranoia in the US and FATCA. They hate the paperwork.
