Hey guys, what would be the best way to learn Thai? I am a lazy guy.

Many ignorant foreigner seem to think it is ok to tip the barber here. The result being that it very hard, as a foreigner to get a good haircut and shave. They'll be tipping the dentist next!

My haircut costs 350b but I always give her 400b as a thank you for the good haircut. I'm sure she appreciates it.

Hopefully she doesn't have kids, they would only get bashed in racist Germany. 

Really, mixed kids get bashed in Germany? Not good....

My cousin works for a huge condo-rental company in Europe. He is tired of chinese renters because they always clog up the drains..they try to flush ANYthing through the drains and then call them for service is they are clogged.

So now they refuse to rent to chinese...(who are international students for a university)).

Yep, not surprising at all. Unfortunately the Chinese have little or no regard for the environment. They are an extremely selfish race and are the world's worst when it comes to donating to charities. Such a pity for such an ancient civilisation.

I doubt it. Although it is very likely that Trump would go down the gurgler if he were at the helm.

Yep, he would probably be assassinated within the first 6 months. I for one would not be complaining!

"Dead at the scene was the driver" thank you my Buddha.

No need to mock Buddhism in this (yet another) tragic road accident......it certainly paints athiests in a bad light, do you not have any compassion?

 Yes, I know exactly your sentiments and wholeheartedly agree with you. I find them amazingly resourceful when it comes to problem solving. But discovering a plant that is effective against cancer is no big deal, as there are so many that go a lot further than this, to the ultimate conclusion (desired outcome) in fact!!

Well said. I guess we have to remind ourselves that Thailand is a developing country.

Obama has been a solid President, Trump is indeed woefully unfit to be Prez. USA would go down the gurgler with orange-face at the helm.

In my apartment (which is a nice complex with your more affluent locals) we have a communal waste bin area on each floor. A place where you can put your rubbish in big bins. The bins have a flip-up lid that's attached and needs to be lifted so you can put your rubbish in and the smell is contained. Some people are so damn lazy and feckless that they just put their bag of rubbish next to the big bin. Some are so completely brain dead that they put their rubbish on the top of the lid.

 

This litter problem seems to be a lot deeper than simply telling people to put rubbish in the bin. Some people really don't give a s***. 

Happened to me too when I used to live in an upmarket condo in downtown Sydney. Unfortunately and somewhat unsurprisingly, the Chinese were the most guilty parties...

To be honest, what they have done is not exactly groundbreaking and not particularly newsworthy, as much as they think and hope it is.

 

True, I guess I was talking in a more normal sense. I have come across many people who look down on Thais and think they are stupid and have no logic.

The Swiss are not guilty, never, no way............

Up the mighty Arsenal!

Another Thai scientific breakthrough that we'll never hear of again.

I think it's unfair how Thais are always portrayed as unintelligent and incapable of making discoveries. Thais are actually a smart race, much smarter than you think.

I moved from Australia to here and the funny thing is that my Thai wife has more money than me. I guess I am a fairly rare occurrence.

At least people will feel safe going to Swampy, as the car searches at the car park entrances are very thorough.

When you open the boot of your car they search all the areas that are not taken up with locked suitcases.

Obviously a terrorist would never think of hiding a bomb in a locked suitcase, knowing that it will never be searched.

 

Well done lads, keep up the good work.

 

No need to be sarcastic, it is better than nothing.

In Thailand ...yes......in the rest of the world it would be easy....

I disagree, it would be easy to organise anywhere.

Typical. Couldn't organise a pi$$ up in a brewery.

That would actually be pretty hard to organise. Funny that hey?
