Thai culture. Never gonna change.

Anyone really surprised?

Perfect set up for a perfect excuse. Pathetic.

Not one I've heard of either, I don't smoke but I did get a friendly warning at a police check, for driving without a shirt.

Moving to motoring.

So it's an issue to drive in your own car without a shirt on?

<deleted> is wrong with this place?

rain is predicted during rainy season

A committee was formed to come to that conclusion.

Soon to fade away into media silence....

A long racist diatribe.

Agree. And completely made-up. I don't believe one word of the OP. It takes a seriously disturbed individual to just make up crap like that.

Or someone seriously in denial to not believe it.

It may or may not be factual, but there is no question that females severally outnumber males in the work force here.

North Face shop in Central Festival carries them. Not sure about your options, but I've picked up some Eagle Creek accessories in the past.

Home Pro, Big C, Lotus, any latex store around town. You can probably also get one on Lazada's website.

Do yourself a favor and get a big yoga ball and stretch out on it every day. Worked wonders for me.

What's your budget? I have a Trek mountian bike that I have been thinking of selling.

12 pages and counting of gentleman who enjoy special services. ;-)

No, he's right. There's been a change just in the past five years. Everything has become much more busy. Little touches of service have disappeared. Small stuff, but it adds up. For the most part, they no longer put your bags into your cart at Tops. The cashiers at Rim Ping often don't give that pretty little wai when they hand you your change. (The cashiers at Tops always were a little lazy about this).

Outrageous.

The little people not bowing and worshiping us.

They should be accused of stealing and locked up for their disrespect.

When you go into the TV or household goods area of Central Dept store you can wander for hours and no one hovers, pointing to the item you're looking at making "helpful" observations like "blue" or "on-off". This used to annoy me, but now I miss it. The other day we went to Power Buy (part of the Central group) to purchase a clothes washing machine, same thing where Hubby and wandered around the store looking at every clothes washer (it should have been evident we were serious shoppers) and when we finally found someone who would make eye contact they had to go find the store manager to locate someone able to understand our poor attempts at Thai. Apparently he was the only one in the store who spoke English. Used to be more staff in places like this spoke English or at least made an attempt.

It's as if everyone is busier, more adsorbed in their phones, maybe studying Chinese now instead of English. I don't know. But there's definitely a different vibe.

typical American attitude to the natives why are they not treating my like royalty after all im a bigoted white American,with more money than you,i deserve respect and first class service, TIT.its there country and its you who should be giving them respect,

1. Their, not there.

2. Respect is earned.

3. Proper service is expected.

Lol. Booze is as ingrained in their culture now as Buddhism.

Why would you you not want to live by the sea. CM stiffling some parts of the year.

The sea in Thailand general attracts the worst of the worst, both Thai and foreigner. Been there, done that. Too mercenary for me.

Oh good, now the stalls can be replaced with millions of standing condo ads.

I used to live at the Resort Condominium next to the Convention Centre. It fits the bill and we enjoyed living there.

Almost daily power cuts, hard water, airplanes flying directly overhead every 30 minutes (and very low), and a pool that has to be drained and fixed every year. Other than that, it's great. Huge rooms, decent enough construction, amazing view, common areas maintained, never hear the neighbors, and it's always a little cooler here than in the city.

Countdown to the first submarine crash.

Isn't it protocol that these stories always follow a bad taxi story? Something like when that taxi driver went bonkers with a sword, did I miss another nut case off his t1ts on yaba doing something demented?

Yea, a taxi driver molested a girl and offered her drugs and a romp in a short time hotel. Caught on video.

These stories always follow bad ones.

It says "I got arrested in Thailand and I all got was this stupid t-shirt!"

With a Singha logo on the back.

A well lubed plastic bag in a rolled sock works much better. Or so I've heard.

So why can't he stop the shark fin soup business? Friends or relatives in the trade or what?

Could there be any other reason?

Always, always follow the money.

Quick, quick.

Put the cables underground.

Bill Gates made Thailand looks ridicule in front of the whole world.

We need to correct this instantly.

Not wait 10 years.

ROTFLMAO

Nailed it.

Children. Each and every last one of them.

Somewhere around 5-7pm I believe and I think closed on Mondays???

Thanks. Will try tomorrow then.
