...newest -- but perhaps not cleanest -- freshman dorm. Although there are no women to speak of in the video, it is set to the Britney Spears song "Womanizer". And though the video is sans nudity, here are some highlights: a gentleman in shutter shades sensually peeling and eating a banana; another young man aggressively humping a recycling bin; a third man suggestively sliding across a table on his back and rubbing his hands all over some very snug clothing; a shower scene; and a group pole dance...

...Many dishes here are traditional Thai gone the bland way of all tourism. But order wisely to score a rare northeastern-style curry of thick greens with hed thob (tiny mushrooms) or thousand-year eggs deep fried with basil. Besides, Taling Pling serves one mean caramel-lined banana cream...
