A lot of Filipinos are Catholic so they have the protection of "Hail Mary's".  I don't think there is a "Hail Buddha" for Thais to give them protection so they drive more "carefully".

Funny guy . I think so god must be on their side

the thais are their own worst enemy, many people do not want to move to a country to just retire and  sit  and drink all day, they want to be active and start and run a business and pass on their skills to others

100% correct . But they can't see that . Passing on a skill would be the best thing for the country . The young learn from the older . Then become skilled . This should have happened years and years ago . In all fields .  Construction, trades , even music .

The other problem with the Philippines is the noise: they use horns all the time. Awful. 

And the Filipino trike drivers spit at you as they run you over ! 

You think they are bad drivers in Thailand . (They are!) But compared with the Philippines they are wonderful drivers . 

Thai Drivers get a.  -10 out of ten 

Filipinos -50 out of 10

When are you chaps gonna get it ?they really don't want you there .

Wow stop making me laugh ?

Excuse me chaps and I really don't mean any offence!  I am at a loss to understand how can you guys live under those conditions? 

   No allowed to work on your own homes . A lot of the work is of substandard. And in most cases you are getting ripped off . 

Or is it a whole country of farrang lost souls? 

  Once again I don't mean to offend but I am at a loss that is why I left .

for God's sake man RENT don't BUY

 

can't believe anyone would even attempt a relationship (yes I know there are some blissfully happy) with a Thai

 

remember money is NUMBER 1 here and love goes out the window as soon as poverty knocks on the door (or they think they hear that knock) 

 

be self-contained and love those who prove loyalty over time and true love has nothing to do with 'romance' so leave that back in your teens - good luck 

My friend  , I'm afraid  he is wright 

The only words of advice  I have is ""why buy a Cow when milk is so cheap "

 You may get lucky  but the odds are against  you.

Never had this issue - I simply don't go. All foreigners should do likewise if they want to see 'farang price' stopped.

Farrang price everywhere not only there Chiang Mai too.  It's  everywhere.

And the % of drivers passing the roadworthiness test is.................

7%  only 

A normal  trip. To nonkaji (laos) to Chiang Mai  9 hours   one jolly joker took 6 hours.  

   I lived to tell the tale!

If eight Thai prostitutes charge two thousand five hundred Baht for half an hour, how much would one Thai prostitute charge for eight hours?

 

Is the answer five thousand Baht or is it forty thousand Baht?

Buy the house!  Lol

Go for it sisters if you can sell it at that price . Good on you.  If I was a girl and had a small I'd be selling it too.  But I am old and have a fat ass . ?

The death penalty is only justified if guilt is 100% certain, you cannot execute anybody because the prosecuting lawyer is a lot better and experienced than the defence lawyer, is there any way that any court can be 100% certain of an alleged killers guilt? If a terrorist is caught in the act by more than one person, or by someones DNA, is that 100% certain of guilt? If it is then I say yes, execute them.

I agree  with  you on this one.  So many people  that where not guilty  have been executed.   Saying sorry doesn't  cut it!

Four years ago my daughter obtained her drivers licence in Victoria Australia. First was the learners permit, then 120 hours driving on the road  with a fully qualified driver (yes 120 hours, a log book had to be kept). Took nearly a year to to obtain the hours, plus she had professional lessons near the end before drivers test. 5 hours here in Thailand seems ridiculous. 

Australian  rules are a bit over the top!  But this is ridiculous. Anyway traffic  lights  are only a suggestion.  I have gone through  red lights  in fear of the truck behind me didn't  stop, 9 times out of 10 times they didn't  stop.

..."walking dirty dollars"...sad, sick response for

a Newbie.....you might be happier back in

your own country

Being 12 years there isn't a newbie 

It will be interesting  to see how the Chinese  treat the Thais once they have a strong hold in Thailand.

   I don't  think  they will treat the Thais as good as farrang  would.  They ain't  liked much now  in Chang Mai.   But Farrang  are only walking  dirty Dollars.  Sorry for the sad Truth.   

I was in Chiang Mai  for 3 years  . I left 2 reasons couldn't  handle  the 90 day report and not allowed  to play music  outside.  Who in heaven's name play dixieland  jazz in Thailand  . I would  not be taking any job from any Thai.  There loss
