This reminds me of the line in the old song "Lookin' for love in all the wrong places".

The combination of gullible farangs and mercenary Thais has provided the comic material for novels and short stories for a long time now.

That will probably continue until Thais start making more money and farangs start to develop brains.

Nice try. Now are we supposed to think you're a reincarnation of Andrew Carnegie?

You're what the bargirls used to call a "Cheap Charlie".

Cut the crap. "A snake that sheds it's skin is still a snake"

Up yours, you old fart. Next time I see you on the Sanahm Golf I'll take a shot at you and tell the caddie not to yell "fore".

Incidentally, I gave up bargirls a long time ago. You oughta do the same. Think of all the money you'd save on Viagra.

Thank you all very much for your comments. But since the majority were negative, I will have to submit to your collective judgement and admit to being a tight-ass [arse, you Brits and Aussies]. The fact is, I come from a country [the good ol' US of A.] where waste is systemic and part of the culture. When I first came here over thirty years ago I found a mindset entirely different. Most people didn't throw things away even when the amounts were trifling. Being an artist and supporting a family hasn't been an easy go financially but I've managed to put two daughters through CMU. The older one going on to get a masters degree at Chula and a subsequent appointment to a goverment ministry where she is now a freshman diplomat. So excuse my parsimonious ways, and I'll excuse the indignation that my simple request has caused. Choke dee to all TV members, even you nasty ones. The forum would be bland without you!

Your kidding aren't you......... your worried about 2% on your worthless coins......

ps. are they 25 or 50 satang coins....

All denominations and a lot of them. They're not worthless.

Monday's Bangkok Post had an article on satang coins. It said that banks charge a fee of 2% to change them into banknotes. Toward the end of the article it mentioned that provincial comptroller-general's offices would do it at no charge. People like myself who have accumulated a large quantity of them would be interested to know where in Chiang Mai this office is located. Thanks for any information.
