I remember and only just slightly, I went to buy a suitcase a few years ago in that luggage store near Jomtien beach opp that cash exchange place I said how much is that? , I can't recall the price she said but she said , but a agreeable price and then without me saying yes she loudly like aggressively immediately ripped the tag off Now I don't really want it ..I didn't even want it ....1500 baht for that rubbish but...she ripped the tag off pushed it forward to me.. so I had to buy it ,and I thanked her by wai her rather than get aggressive and loud rude similar to the older man , or should perhaps we be politically correct and say mature aged man please there's no need for ageism !!!

Yes but this elderly man and I could only see his face and shoulders on this Zoom Zoom meeting was very stressed with a red face about the ordeal before I was rudely and abhorrently cut off I told him your 81 just pay it rather than argue !! Is it worth arguing for ? Getting yourself stressed over a miniscule amount Use reverse psychology like I did back in 2021 when they returned all my phones still not working and demand payment Not only did I tip them I wai them Little did they know ...I wasn't going back to them !!

It's not about who is taking advantage of who It's a matter of arguing vs paying up and moving on I prefer to move on and never use their business again and even thank them, As the saying goes kill them with kindness

I was on WhatsApp group chat to see a elderly farang 81yo who was visiting Pattaya say he had been what he believes over charged on his Samsung phone case he went to buy at tukcom Now I must say before I'm rudely interrupted that I too have been not been to tukcom since 2020 when I had several phones repaired that came back not working but....but...I apologised to them before giving them the Wai and moving on rather than arguing like some of you do ! Pay it and move on and you don't go back !! Now could we get on with the original topic I'm talking about please .....anyway the elderly farang apparently went to the counter in tukcom phone shop and asked how much is that Samsung phone case ( no not doggie in the window) "How much is that phone case? He asked The lady then immediately pulled out the phone case ,ripped the plastic cover off and proceeded to put it into a paper bag in the matter of seconds ! Milliseconds to be precise 600 baht ! She shouted Apparently he was ...and please don't quote me....gobsmacked He said I didn't even want it, I'm only asking price ! Anyway to cut a long story short a big Thai male person working with her came forward to tell him now already we packed you must buy it But it now He is arguing they are shouting,he said they weren't worried about the noise ,the whole place went silent as they watched him and the store couple shouting at him "you must pay .you must pay ! So he paid as he was embarrass after 10 minutes the security came the whole place listening to the lady shouting etc etc Is it worth it ? They said they will call police , and even other store holder shouting at him I think this was Zoom meeting I was in. You can see like 10 faces ..they cut me off sadly How are you George said the face to me I said I'm "zoom zoom" before being cut off from the zoom zoom meeting and I said to the elderly farang face , just pay it mate ! Just pay it ! After listening to his story I said your 81 ! Why you care ? Before that moderator cut me off the zoom meeting saying in his UK accent "your outta here George ! This customer was 81 ,what is a 81 yo man doing walking around tukcom by himself? Look all I can say is to pay the price they are asking rather than argue and embarrassing your in front of the whole tukcom Surely 609 baht doesn't mean a lot to you rather than argue and maybe get yourselves arrested !!! I'm seeing this more & more now particularly with THIS generation of farangs who choose to argue and then get yourself into trouble and challenge Thai people rather than pay and move on Pay it , and move on and thank them for giving you the opportunity to buy a phone case rather than wait weeks for mail order ! Have some integrity towards Thai people and behave instead of complaints

The Australian bikies? Hells angels ,that was around 10 years ago

Ridiculous judiciary,even the cops don't carry guns

Probably boat to Australia Convicts have always been welcome

And what if you ask for French ? That's one way

No idea what a "Northerner" is , obviously from the North of England? Is that a "lower" class area of England?

Thankyou treetops Sir

Oh there's no need for racism !! I have had these young indian guys approach me and I have availed of their services with happiness Most are willing and those who are not , soon walk away from me Just be grateful these young men are out there I thank them after for servicing me and even tip

Oh there's no need for bullying

Your very Connda and I will never go back to that Jomtien medical Centre again. There's several others to choose from and my favourite is the farang doctor located up off that busy road Always smiles when he sees me and instantly remembers me ! "Here for your prostate check he shouts to me or here for kidney or liver or brain scan? A lovely doctor who remembers his patients I said I was surprised he remembered me

Ok I will be travelling to Thailand in a few days from Australia Unfortunately my anxiety is now very high as I found out I have to fill in this Digital arrival form 3 days before Qantas send me out my flight booking intinary but apparently nowadays we must fill in this digital card 3 days before they did NOT send anything about that ! Qantas haven't sent any link ,where can I do it myself? I can't find a link to this on the internet Can someone help me please that's all I ask ! Surely that's not too much to ask ? My anxiety is now sky-high

There's no need for homophobia

Oh please I was visibly embarrassed with hordes of singlet unshaven farang staring at me.

I only have been swimming once in Thailand particularly in Jomtien at the view talay where I was "detained" and had to escape,many know the story Lucky a few members here helped me escape!

Absolutely Don't put up with it , it seems to be racism

Let's talk about medical centres doctors in the Jomtien area I know personally of three One I will not go back to ! I certainly will not be saying or identified the medical centre I'm talking about in the Jomtien area but I remember my last visit which still sends shivers up my spine when I had to deal with a young women who was the receptionists asking me questions and shaking her head at the answers ! I decided rather than be belittling I left She also seems to talk to others like that too Oh please I said to her ...not this little black duck and then I stormed out There isn't even any privacy taking my blood pressure in the waiting room of all places !

Lucky I just saw your post ....I am on hold on the phone to Qantas call centre ready to change my flights dates to before 30 day stay They put me on hold....they were asking for a $499 change fee ! Thankyou Sir

So I will be refused entry on arrival I thought it was 60 days I'm staying 38 days I could be deported on arrival I will have to change my flights to put it back to 30 days I'm not sure how much that will cost

I have just booked a flight to Thailand from Australia for 38 days I went to fill in this new Digital arrival card online it seems to be a maximum of 30 days ? Is this correct ,am I doing something wrong ? Maybe I'm looking at it wrong ? I thought I could stay 60 days ? Now I will be refused entry and probably blacklisted ,I will lose all my airfare money !!!!

Oh the rhetoric! Yes I can , that's because I have a government job with long service leave unlike you who has never worked a day in his life !

Oh the rhetoric !.

Sounds a bit... rhetorical, doesn't it ?
