Same with our shop. I have a group of Thai's that come by everyday to say hello, buy a drink or snack and practice some English. Kids love to chat. It is a very social, and profitable, venture.

It never is. I find if you work hard to earn ones wealth, it is not spent haphazardly. Whereas people like big joe here have large spending habits. Odds are he has quite a few girlfriends, booze, drugs, nite-life, etc.

Live near Nong khai, and some people are dreading the re-opening of the friendship bridge. Once it opens the massive flood of Laos citizens will be very scary. They will flood Macro, Tesco, Mega Home, and many if the seafood shops. Good for the local economy but scary for the regular person. If you have ever seen them shop at Macro you will know "social distancing" is NOT their thing.
