Dual pricing is Thai price and foreigner price. You are a foreigner and have to pay the same as all us other foreigners do.

If you had a Thai passport or Thai Id card showing you are a Thai citizen you would be charged the Thai price.

You may have a yellow tabien baan and a pink Id card but that does not make you Thai.

I am do not agree with dual pricing but there is no point in getting anoyed about it.

Next week I have an appointment at trend building in Bangkok and I have to have prrof of my address in Thailand. I have a Thai drivers licence which has my address on it in English and Thai and I wondered if this will be OK for proof?

I don’t work, so have no reason to be stuck in traffic for hours. 

Prefer a cold beer to a coffee with ice.

Same here !

I use the scooter for going to the village market or going to see friends in the village. However when travelling out of the village I will always use the car. I prefer comfort and safety over using the scooter to get sunburn! inhaling traffic fumes ,insects in the eyes ,getting hot and sweaty and possibly getting knocked off .

Varicose veins are caused by restricted flow in the veins or blockages. The treatment is to have a stent type thing put in to re open the vein to blood flow.

We have AIS play which is Wifi and Tv with no dish or aerial.

How recently?

It was Big C in Udon and I definately saw the Branstons pickle . Maybe worth having a look in your local Big C.

I am sure I have seen them in Big C.

If you go back before the re entry permit expires you should be fine.

Have the operation done in a hospital and pay for the 1 night stay in hospital as opposed to having the op and going home 2 hours later .Most clinics you have the op and go home after. http://lelux.co.th/en/2016/08/breast-augmentation/

lol you're missing the point which is Thais cannot stand people dressed shabby unshaven unsmiling so of course they accept the notes which are fine but time after time will automatically reject any note not up to standard

I have just one note rejected closing in on 30 years and that single note to be fair had been ripped in half and sellotaped back together. The booth around corner immediately changed it anyway.

 

I never dont walk around shabby unshaven or unsmiling. Am not joking. Am surprised people are not aware

I notice you live in Rochester ! What part of Thailand is that ? Maybe if you lived here your reply would be based on fact and not the holiday experience 555

Over the years I have had many notes refused due to biro pen marks and tears etc.

When I take cash from UK n2ow I always check the notes first.

or by removing your posts, do you even live in the south?   You want to summarize two years of work by members of the southern forum into "you guys are idiots this is all central Thai" and then move the thread to another forum where we'll likely run into more 'help' like you are providing?

 

I think this thread would benefit by you outlining what is not southern Thai, back up your comment man!

555 bit of an over reaction to someone who only discovered this thread yesterday and has spent  quite a bit of time compiling a list of the words which have been posted that are spoken throughout Thailand and not specificaly used only in the south.

I made a genuine suggestion as there are some very advanced Thai speakers who post on the Thai language thread and thought they could be of help.

No I do not live in the south.,I previously lived in Samutprakarn but now am living in Issarn. My comment was based on the fact many of the words posted are used also in central and north east Thailand.

You appear to be one of those people who think they are fluent in a language but quite clearly are not as you throw your toys out of the pram as soon as someone has an alternate view to you.

Where did I suggest you were all idiots ? 555 Talk about toutchy 555.

Shame I wasted my time compiling a list of words that I was about to post in reply to you asking for examples.

I think this thread would benefit from being transfered to the Thai language forum.

I have read through all the posts on this thread and the majority of the words posted are just standard conversational Thai and not specific to southern Thailand.

If they are from Issarn (aka Nakhon Nowhere) I would expect them to say lawn with an ล. The (so called) educated / big city folk say rawn with an ร.

If they were from Issarn they would say ฮ้อน .

Makes for an expensive visa. 

No it is very cheap , 1900 baht per year. And the money in the account is a good back up for unexpected medical problems and reasurrance that I do not have to worry about my future.

and... what's your point?

My point is keeping money in a bank in Thailand or the UK the interest rate return is about the same,so I keep it here to enable me to obtain my annual extension without any worries.

People who keep their money in banks here are no worse off than keeping it in a bank in their country of origin.

So you didn't try well, and writing it on this forum as LAWN is clearly an evidence.

R exists in Thai, and only some uneducated people cannot say it, so please ask to some correctly speaking Thai to say it for you. This is a super easy word to say.

 

Nonsence , pronouncing ร as ล has nothing to do with be uneducated.

I never said I was perfect so I've no need to worry about throwing stones in a glass house. There are 2 genders/sex, men/male & woman/female, that's a biological fact and so if a man thinks he's a woman or a woman thinks she's a man, then clearly they have mental health problems and as such it would be great if society could help them with those problems, no?

 

 

 

Brigante7.

You do not seem to know too much about biological facts. Never heard of Hermaphrodite?

Maybe the people with mental health issues are the ones who are completely bigoted about anything they cant understand.
