General safety

Do we really need to say anything here? Roads, walkways with motor vehicles on them, police force which is complicit with crime, lack of hygiene, ect. World class cities are those where non locals and locals alike feel generally safe from these things.

Apart from the other topics, I don't know any other big city in the world where I feel safe as in Bangkok, not nearly. And I know that all my friends in Bangkok see it the same way.

I fully understand, why bangkok is No 1. Go to european or australian cities and try to find decent food after midnight, almost impossible. Cities are like dead after midnight, with few exceptions.

Bangkok has very good international food and the prices are still fair in most of theose places. Bangkok has a lot of nice bars and clubs ( and I'm not talking about the redlight districts ), it has markets all over, fresh fruits, fingerfood, drinks on every corner so far.

Yes, Hongkong for example has a beautiful scenery, but that's basically all Hongkong has to offer. Singapore has nothing to offer, apart from very overprized costs of living. For me the most boring city in the world.

Ok, I never been to Tokyo and Seoul, can't compare with this cities, but after all, Bangkok is No. 1 in the world for many good reasons.

Right, Bangkok is awesome and if you don't like it, just leave it

If money doesn't matter, Sirocco Bar and Breeze ( Lebua at State Tower ) are always an option. Awesome atmosphere, but really expensive.
360 at Hilton is nice also, Red Sky at Centara looks quite amazing too (but never been there).

Impossible to die from magic mushrooms, the deadly dosage is way too high, if there is any.

Also they're not called khee khwai (buffalo shit), but "het khee kwhai" (buffalo shit mushrooms), as most psychedelic mushrooms grow in areas with lot's of buffalo dung.

I feel sorry with the girl, but it was clearly the stupid teacher's fault, not the security guards.

"Ideally, we have to hire teachers specifically trained to teach in English. Just hiring native English speakers is not really worth it because these people do not have teaching skills. However, in the meantime we will have to hire teachers who just have English skills until we can find qualified teachers who have both English and English-teaching skills".

Doesn't sound that the ones without teaching skills could get a work permit...it seems like government schools don't care about that at all.

Very strange...if his wife can't remember anything, how do they know all the details of what was happening before???

For me, bangkok is worlds best city for living and as you can see, i am not the only person thinking like this :jap:

They are really not to bad and if you wanna save money, buy them on yaowarat for ~ 300 baht incl. some refill cartridges.
