Do you speak Thai ? Because may be they dont understand you, especially if you have a strong accent, if the OP is anything to go by.

My accent is easy to understand.

Its my 2nd lang tho.

But thats not so much a point.

I think ppl in europe are more open.

U know for example in uk at work guys joke, call themself w...r c..n etc. No one takes it serious.

I just cant get it here.

Perhaps its just asian culture that Im not used to. (Or thai)

Are you French? If so that explains everything!

I employ 15 young thais here, and they all like that.

Out on the farm, it is hilarious. (Isaan).

Now in Chiang Mai, it is a bit more serious...but the store next door to the wife's cafe is a barrel of fun. Laughing and joking with each other all day long. I thought they were mad at each other, but the wife says...they just get excited and talk loud/joke with each other. You would have to understand the language more, to really catch it all.

In bangkok...it was almost like New york...pretty stoic and busy in the skytrain and mall areas. I am sure they joke at home.

i ment foreginer - thai

not thai - thai

I dont find chinese useful at all.

They just follow flag in groups in pattaya and dont go in any business at all. They follow flag in walking street and dont get in to clubs bars and agogos for example, when u go to WS u will see like 7 groups following flags, so say per day theres 500-700 of them but none spend any money apart 711. They got everything organized, guide takes them to preselected places to eat etc.

They exchange money with guide too.

Hi. Can u guys explain me please this one.

I live in Thailand 2 years now and I feel like people here are not very friendly in the sense they not open and keep for themself.

And they not very funny too, like they dont joke, dont prank, dont do stupid jokes no windups...

I don't have any thai mates like friends, then they hard to trust too, if u know what I mean.

I im from EU im 35, at 24 I moved to UK for 9 years working all the time.

In UK I must say i cant complain on english guys, never probs, always funny and at work it was constant windup. Never experienced any racist things or anything like that. And people in UK or EU friendly and open, u can joke with people u just met and that.

I know here its asian culture, may b in not familiar with it. Just wonder is it thailand or its sumilar in japan singapore etc...?

I used to live few places in europe and canada, now 2 years in asia, bit different...

If u ask me now to describe thai guys in 1 word, biring comes to my mind.

And I heard similar opinions from other expats and mostly from females friends working in bkk offices, they call it culture from mars and they want to go back to work in europe, and they stocks brokers, 1 foregin girl per thai office.

Anyone feel similar or its just me?

Peace

Hi. How long it takes to get ED in Penang. Same day or next?

Also do I need thier form to fill in? Is it any different then Vientiane?

Whats the fee for ED ? And what currency I can pay ? Only local?

Why don't you take her to your own country? Or is the UK a softer option?

Are you ashamed of your own country?

Mind ur own business if u want be smart.

Cuz Im allowed to? Cuz I used to live there many years and got house there?

Grow up DH

Hi, whats happens if you marry thai, I mean if you live in UK, and marry thai, what visa they get? How long takes them to be able to work?, is it better to marry in thailand or UK, or dosent matter.

My situation is, Im from EU, not british but I got house in UK, used to live in UK, now moved to thailand for 2 years.

I got thai gf, and we are not married, we got 4 months old, baby got EU citizenship from birth, Im in process of legalizing it and getting her EU passport.

We do business in Thailand, but we want to be prepared for the worst, we need plan B, as you never know how things will go here, and now is very quiet, little tourists, hope it will improve...

From my research back in the day, I know I am allowed to bring my family to UK as a EU resident, I know that. Well need to marry first

What should we do? Me go UK get her in on spouse visa? or just marry in Thailand.

And whats after if she arrive in thailand? what visas she gets, and how long do it takes to get indefinite leave to remain? She will not get my country passport as requirement is U need to live there at least 2 years I think. But my fam live in London.

Hope my question is clear enough, and thanks 4 help.

yesterday return back from Penang.

1. came by AirAsia

2. staff at Embassy is superb! really nice and helping

3. got ED-visa next day at 14:11

4. there's an ass promising to get the van to Bangkok or wherever - useless, after 1 hr waiting returned money

5. next morning (how stooopid on me to waste a whole day) I took things in my hands - CAT free bus to Ferry

6. train to Bangkok is at 14 local time and fully booked (ticketing office closes for morning break 8:45 -10:15 don't waste time)

7. went to bus station near by and got the ticket to nice local bus to Alor Setar (nothern city somewhere) - about 11Ringit (~100 Thb)

8. Jumped on joined taxi to Thai border - it is not SADAO !!! cost total 30R for 3 of us - so another 100 thb

9. walked through the border - no questions, everything smooth and polite

10. 150-200m down on left side - join mini van - 58 thb to Hatyai

11. at Hat Yai bus station helluva super-dooper buses heading to Bangkok - 832 thb

12. about 5AM arrived to Moochit fresh and frisky

My point - f%#k those BS agents around KOMTAR with minivans - You can do it yourself just fine and much better.

I saw return flights for 3000 thats cheap.

Strange is that my school not recommended Penang but I might give a shoot.

Will take gf with me.

Is it thais need visas to Malesia?

any recent reports from Penang getting ED?

any recent reports from Penang getting ED?

Well MOE not apply to english course.

So just wonder if they got me on 200h would they issue that visa in Penang.

I had ED before and it lasted for a year with extensions.

Now they told me I will get 3 +6

Means i could extend it twice in thailand

What that could be about.

Do they put less hours in my files? If so would I be able to obtain that visa in Penang? They telling me Laos no probs.

And they telling me laws and things changes all the time....

So just wonder if they play games on me or what?

Thx

Hi, whats the Validity of ED visas 6 or 12 months now ?

my school told me i will get 6 months + 3 in consulate so all together 9, is that correct?

cheers
