Put the Thai massage pants on with the ties in the back, make a big fold of the waist to one side or the other and then tie the two ties in the front tight over the fold. Mai Kaides is really good and cheap, you just need to order about 3-5 plates each. the sushi, spring rolls, massaman curry are my favorites there. To get the durian you want, you just have to press into the packaged durians. They say no touching or pressing but you just have to do it anyway, and just leave if any vendor gets too upset. In general you can't go with the vendor's recommendations as they will say anything to make a sale. I've gotten scammed so many times by fruit dealers in Thailand who assured me what I was buying was ripe/soft/sweet/organic/tastes good when it wasn't.
