Speaking Thai - is it necessary these days for an expat ?
BritManToo replied to The Cobra's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Never had a problem getting stuff like that done. -

BritManToo replied to The Cobra's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
No need to converse with Thais at all, they have nothing to say that I have an interest in hearing. Simple commerce can be done using photos on my smart phone. As for my partner, everything a woman says is to manipulate and extort money. Best not to be too chatty with them.- 208 replies

BritManToo replied to The Cobra's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Central Thai is a worthless language only spoken by 40% of the Thai population as a 1st language. My family all speak English, if I wanted to speak another language (in addition to English French and Spanish) it'd probably be Chinese.- 208 replies

My $60 glasses have progressive lens and titanium frames. After 12-18 months I just order again and chuck the old ones. You aren't getting the answers you wanted because nobody is daft enough to purchase from Thai opticians more than once.

Some things will never change - will they ?
BritManToo replied to The Cobra's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
All women are bad 'serious relationship prospects'. Women were genetically designed for 'short-time'. -

I've not found 'decent Thai women' to be any different to bar girls. Women naturally steal, cheat, lie, betray and manipulate. Your pal needs to learn they're all interchangeable, and when you lose your turn with one, just move onto another one. That's what's great about Thailand, no months long wait between losing one and finding another, you can be in bed with the next one that same evening. -

What's your rush? I'm retired, plenty of time, standing in line in air-con isn't the worst thing in the world.

Being pressured to pay off wife's mother's large debt.
BritManToo replied to Aust24R's topic in Family and Children
That's a good start. Next sever all communications with her, just walk away. You can still enjoy your retirement without her, plenty of nice places to choose from as a single man. Nice houses to be rented in Chiang Mai from 10kbht/month or wherever you choose to live. You don't need her and her bad choices dragging you down, the world is there for you to claim as your own. Good luck! Look forward to your retirement in 4 months. -
Just downed a frozen daiquiri (1.5oz rum, 2 limes, 3 teaspoon sugar, 8 ice cubes). Next will smoke a gram of sherbert queen.

Give me examples of you haggling & hustling ?
BritManToo replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
She was hustling (as prostitution is borderline legal) , he was haggling (trying to buy for less money). -

BritManToo replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Hustle is to make money from someone in a barely legal way. Haggle is to try and save money on a purchase. I understand Australia has the worst education system in the western world and many citizens are barely literate. You aren't doing yourself any favours with this sort of post, exposing your ignorance.- 48 replies

What about Laos, Cambodia and Burma? Plenty of them working in Thailand. " IOM estimates that Thailand is home to 3.9 million migrant workers from Cambodia, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar and Viet Nam (2019)." https://thailand.iom.int/labour-mobility-and-social-inclusion#:~:text=In countries of destination%2C migrant,and Viet Nam (2019). Some claim expat = white person, migrant worker = non-white. https://theconversation.com/whats-the-difference-between-a-migrant-and-an-expat-69265 Others claim you need to be working in a foreign country in order to be classed as an expat. And yet others claim expat = person from a wealthy country working in a poorer country Migrant worker = person from a poor country working in a wealthier country.

I posted it more of an inflation/deflation thread than a TV thread, although it was the TV prices that got me going. Just dug out my TV feet for my current 60" wall mounted LG, it cost 21kbht. Thought it was a 65" ........ can't believe it was purchased in 2018, seems like yesterday, thought it was only 3 years old but in reality 6 years old.
