    My experience of living in BKK and now visiting 2 or 3 times a year is that, as far as I'm aware, there's never been the slightest discrimination between me and my Thai Khmer b/f. He buys the ticket or books of tickets at the entry and we go thru the turnstile no sweat. There's never been an issue about who's up who & who hasn't paid ...

    Golly, and noone checking the accounts in all that time ...
  3. mfd101
    But it's presented in the OP as though this were a marvel of Thai enterprise and success!

    Politics (ie policy for action) is more of a ball than an arse: extremists of left & right barely distinguishable at the bottom; democrats of various feathers perched in multiple shapes & sizes on top.
  5. mfd101
    Of course 'rightwing' extremism (eg Hitler) and 'leftwing' extremism (eg Stalin) have a great deal in common.

    Well, they're not exactly virgins on either side of the fence.
  7. mfd101
    Well, if you say so.
  8. mfd101
    Well worth the effort.

    Most of the children will be better off out in the real world and learning about politics & warfare, rather than wasting their time & their lives in a Thai schoolroom.

    Not sure that being the 'most expensive' anything is sumpthink to boast about ...

    Only in Thailand. Well, and Cambodia too. Sometimes hard for a Falang to tell the difference.
  12. mfd101
    I'll keep my eye out for you.
  13. mfd101
    Just up the road from us but I've never persuaded b/f to investigate. I shall now renew my efforts. 😅

    Gotta start somewhere. Oz is about the best place to do it.
  15. mfd101
    Yes, it's not for nothing that the young of rich families get their education in Oz, Canada, US & UK.
  16. mfd101
    Yes, similar here in Prasat. I burn the small & burnable stuff. The rest goes to the farm at Khok Salaeng, never to be seen again. I think mostly recycled by b/f's family ...

    A couple of days ago I paid 699฿ at Tops in Robinson Surin for a bottle of Penfolds Koonunga Hill shiraz 2023. Haven't a clue what the price in Oz would be these days ...

    A new meaning for the word 'damage'.
  19. mfd101
    Much like the rest of Thailand ...
  20. mfd101
    No no, what we need is more tourism! More! More! More!

    Here in Surin my b/f has been at the family farm most of the day in Khok Salaeng, Phanom Dong Rak district 2 or 3 kms from the border. He took his aged mother back & 1 BIL to see if they could stay at the farm instead of camping on our living room floor here in Prasat. And the answer 2 or 3 hours later was a resounding NO. The Cambodians are still shooting, and not just small arms fire. Occasional shells/rockets coming across all day.

    Life is about probability not certainty.
  23. mfd101
    Fine, but a sensible Thai government might think that working on 'call-centre fraud' & 'online gambling scams' that target back home (ie Thailand) needs discouraging. 10 years in klink perhaps?
  24. mfd101
    Good. At least 20 years in klink would be useful. Alternatively, lineup at dawn.

    Mostly driven by Europeans (other than Ukraine) so not surprising.
