The waning smiles / humor of Farangs.
BangkokReady replied to swissie's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I often found that Western culture in general relies on putting others down or making other people feel bad. It always seems/seemed that success wasn't enough, you have to show that you are better than another. And I feel that permeates every area of society, with a strong focus on consumerism and not just keeping up with the Jones but desperately showing that you are better than them. -
Bar Girl Retirement Strategies
BangkokReady replied to Danderman123's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I've seen dozens of attractive young women lining up to be picked up for night shifts in factories. I have no doubt many of these women could sell their body for sex if they wanted to, but they choose to work a night shift in a factory. Make of that what you will. -
Bar Girl Retirement Strategies
BangkokReady replied to Danderman123's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Certain genres found on YouTube collate videos of women in their 30s and 40s lamenting the fact that "dating has changed", so even when they become partially aware of the problem, it is still blamed on men changing, rather than facing the actual cause. -
TEFL now needed for a work permit?
BangkokReady replied to MrKitkat's topic in Teaching in Thailand Forum
Now? I thought this had been the case for a long time? Quite normal for immigration to want degree, tefl and criminal record check. Same in Vietnam. -
Thai IQ pretty average compared to its neighbors
BangkokReady replied to AustinRacing's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Is there actually any clear evidence that links DNA to intelligence? The thing is, often people with low IQs are poor, whether in a developing country or a racial minority in a developed country, so nutrition, education and parental involvement is probably a lot higher of a factor. I'm sure you can appreciate the damage that mislabelling the terminally poor as being genetically predisposed to low intelligence. -
Schools to Stay Open Amid COVID Spike
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News Headlines
Probably until covid becomes as mild as a cold. Probably years, possibly forever. -
That's the point. It's amount that people would say "Screw it, just pay it, it's not worth the trouble", as they have in this thread. There higher the amount, the more chance of resistance. If the amount is higher than the cost of getting out of the situation, then people will be more likely to resist. Also it might make it trickier for the police officer to assist in the scam. Because you could get arrested or killed, rather than just collecting your free 6K Baht.

Post Covid Restaurant Experience
BangkokReady replied to recom273's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I don't mind using the self-service at McDonald's, but that's at McDonalds and even then I would like eye contact, smile and a thank you from the person bringing the food over. If I went to a proper restaurant, I think I would want a decent bit of human interaction. Being waited on is a part of the experience. It's what's you miss out on eating at home, the décor, the food, the service, should all be something a little bit special. Even street food or a café, I won't go back somewhere where the people aren't polite and I will purposefully return to places where the people are friendly. It seems so rare these days. I'm very polite and friendly, so I feel it reasonable to expect the same in return. -
Russia's McDonald's replacement runs low on fries
BangkokReady replied to Scott's topic in World News
2022 and Russia is fighting pointless wars and suffering from food shortages. You would think they might have learnt by now.
