Thailand, compared to most, is pretty easy, as long as you don't have a peanut allergy

fresh juices (/smoothies/shakes/etc) are not unusual?
i thought coconuts fresh off the tree were interesting

re smoothies and alcohol - castle hill inn's guest-only breakfast/tea only presented a bill if ordering alcohol. (saw a guest order bloody mary at breakfast.) for breakfast there is a menu, and during my stay they started with a kind of amuse bouche - style smoothie (very small) that changed daily. without ordering, one of staff brought me a full smoothie one morning. same person had previously offered proactive service when i was in one of the lounge areas.
