  1. Recently at Index on the Lampang - CM Superhighway.

    Farang is asking the young male assistant, in Thai - do you have this cabinet in white colour?

    Reply - this is maple.

    Farang asks again, calmly - yes I know this is maple, do you have it in white?

    Reply - this is maple.

    Farang points at white colour on next piece of furniture, his Thai wife asks again if the cabinet is available in white?

    Reply - this is maple.

    Then an older Thai lady shopper intervenes and blasted the young assistant, her voice can be heard across half the store. And she says in English to the farang and his wife, your question is very clear.

    Supervisor is called by another staff member.

    The older lady then tells the supervisor, in Thai, the cabinet right here is maple colour, but the farang wants to know if it's available in white. she repeats the question several ways to try to ensure the real question is understood.

    Reply - I don't know, and she then tells the original young male assistant to take care of the customer and she walks away.

    So this surprises you why ??.....cheesy.gif

    you know there is that legend in the tourism industry that Thais are renowned for their superior 5 star service.......this is true, but look behind the scenes that these 5 star premises are western and managed as such.......

  2. Anyway, I hope he eventually gets bored of casinos -- basically a victimless type of crime -- and shines the light on some corruption that has actual living, breathing victims.

    He isn't attacking Casinos per se, he is attacking police protecting/running them.

    Read beyond the headlines.

    I understand that. So why not shake things up and take on some police corruption not having to do with casinos?

    Geez richard....ya gotta start somewhere....where would you suggest to start ?? ...and why ??

  3. Recon the guy should have 24/7 Police protection :)

    555 i'm sure he'll have to fork out even more for that!

    You know corruption is on every level of Thai society, even to get into a good school you have to hand a basket over and an envelope full of dosh to the principle. You can't wipe out corruption by cracking down on just police. What a joke ey. All Thai's are on the take there all corrupt it's just who they are.

    If everyone is corrupt....is it then corruption or the way of life......if you pay a bribe in bangkok...will anyone hear you ??

  4. Just be careful , A friend of mine did the same , all went well until one night he came home and the place was stripped bare of all the furniture and fittings,

    Ps Remove the water sports off . not a good idea on here

    Thongkorn, are you taking the Piss...?

  5. Thats right....nobody tried to pass it off as home made....was asked the question if branded or home made as as it was not branded, figured the other.

    Prolly not rocket science to make fish fingers......but who cares which, they were very good and available from Surin and as someone that has lived here for a while....I had not seen them anywhere else and they brought back nice memories.....I had a 'ratta toohey' moment.

    And got my son hooked on them...so thats a nice hand me down........anyone seen chiko rolls for sale ??
