Nigerian Man Arrested Over Online Prostitution Scheme
Parsve replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
On ThaiFriendly 5 out of 10 messages offer sex for money (ST/LT). But that is of course Thai women that offer that, maybe other rules for those, I do not know. -
Racism or "just" bad behavior at Pattaya City Hospital?

Racism or "just" bad behavior at Pattaya City Hospital?
Parsve replied to Parsve's topic in Health and Medicine
Good question, others have asked that too, and the answer is two. I have not thought about it. The other reason is that I have had this medication for about 10 years and those pills I get are working fine. 555, in fact, the first pills I got, gave me an allergic reaction my throat swelled up, and so did my di*k. With one hand I could not reach around it when it was "sleeping", and no, my wife was not happy about it either. -

Racism or "just" bad behavior at Pattaya City Hospital?
Parsve posted a topic in Health and Medicine
Let me start by saying that this does not apply to all staff. Most are very nice. I visit said hospital about every two months for refills on high blood pressure medication. About six months ago, when I was going to register, I was waiting in line. When it was my turn, the registrar looked up at me, pointed, and said, "Go and stand last in line". There were 8 to 10 Thais behind me. He refused to register me unless I waited until the Thais were registered. On November 14, it was again time to refill medicine. This is not a complicated procedure, the effective time from when I register until I receive and pay for the medicine is about 10 minutes, of which two to three are at the doctor's (the doctor asks how I feel and then signs the prescription). This time the registration and the nurse's questions went quickly. As usual, I was referred to "station 4", where I assume that what the nurse at the previous station wrote down on the registration is transferred to a database. I left my document in a basket in front of the two nurses and one of them picked it up. Wait she said, and I waited for five hours to be exact. In the meantime, they let about 50 people who had come after me, in to the doctor. I approached the nurse and asked what was going on, sit down and wait a moment she said. I waited another half hour, then I went to the other nurse and said, give me my document. In front of her was a stack of about 10 documents for the next round to be admitted to the doctor, but mine wasn't there. She knew, however, without asking me for my name, immediately where it was. It was alone about a meter from the pile where it should have been several hours earlier. I took the document and went out with the words. There are more and better hospitals in the city. It cannot be blamed on unfortunate circumstances. In both cases, everyone involved knew very well what they were doing. Many, both foreigners and Thais, that I have spoken to about these events say that they have similar experiences from the same hospital. 60 years ago, Pattaya was an insignificant fishing village, now, thanks to tourism, it is a big city. Before the pandemic, tourism accounted for more than 21% of Thailand's GDP and it still accounts for a high proportion of Thailand's income, not least thanks to the foreigners who are permanent residents here. Unfortunately, some of the staff and management of the said hospital don't seem to understand that without us, Pattaya would degenerate back into a fishing village, because just like there are other hospitals in Pattaya, there are other places that can offer the same thing as Pattaya, but with a friendly attitude ( I look forward to an explanation of the behavior from the hospital management). -

As someone said before, go to your embassy and get a new passport. Abut the visa stamp, it is no problem, just bring both your old and new passport next time you go to immigration. -
Where do foreigners fit in the Thai hierarchy?
Parsve replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
My Thai wife and I have been married for ten years. 7 of those years we have lived very close to her family. When they speak to each other and com to mention, me they always say farang, not in a bad way, but still. I have said to my wife, "hey, I have a name. I do not call you thai so stop calling me farang". Nothing changed. -
Third, I wrote that she hugged me, not the other way around, Start your brain before you tap the keyboard.

First of all, it was 170 baht, not ten. Secondly, it is up to you if you like to be scammed and up to me if I do not like it.

Nope the Englishmen and the Frenchmen. They started the so-called opium wars against China as the Chinese King did not let England sell opium in China (the Englishmen wanted to exchange opium with local Chinese products like tea and silk). The Chinese lost the two wars and the Kingdom of China fell forever. Learn that almost every time there is a conflict between countries England is involved with a bad attitude.

I have worked a lot the last weeks and also moved to another apartment, so last Sunday I thought that I should go out and have a beer. I Live in Jomtien and get to a bar on the soi that starts from Beach Road, where the Royal Palace Hotel is, and ends at Second Road. I was going to a specific bar because I know a bargirl there. Know, nothing more. When I come to the bar, it is not one of those "hole-in the wall bars" it is bigger and looks pretty good, it has no name. The bargirl I did know saw me and came and hug me. I went in and take a place at the bar desk and ordered a beer. The bargirl asked for a ladydrink. I said, "hey, I have lived in Thailand for ten years and is it one thing that I have learned during those years it is to never buy a ladydrink. She goes on asking and after a while I said, "Ok, I could buy you a beer, same as I drink, and same price. Ok, she said, thanks. I realised that she also took the same to one of her friends but thought ok, such happens. Then I looked at the bill, it said that I had ordered three beers and that I should pay 380 baht. I turned to the cachier and asked , "How mutch cost a beer? 70 baht, she said. Then you have to change this I said, because three beers for 70 baht each is 210 baht, not 380. The cachier said no and started arguing with me. I get angry and said, with a rather strong voice that she should stop and just change the bill. After a while of argumentation, she said ok, I change it, just wait. After a while I get a new bill, this time on 260 baht. No, still wrong I said, that before you be a cashier you have to learn to count. It should be 210 bah. ´She started arguing again. Stupid women I thought, everyone in the bar is listening now and drawing their conclusions,210 baht, nothing more nothing less. After some more arguing she gives me a new bill, 220 baht. No, I said, 210 baht. She gave me 10 baht in 1 baht and I gave her 200 baths and said, I will never come back. I left the bar with no name for the last time.

Why are we suddenly allowed to publicly criticize Jews?
Parsve replied to AndyAndyAndy's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
According to the Bible, God was the first to throw the Israelites out of their land. Arabs, Egyptians and Romans have followed in the footsteps of the "wise". Then came the English and gave them Israel after World War II. Always those cursed Englishmen who disturb the world order. -

Parsve replied to AndyAndyAndy's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I find it strange that Israeli governments always say, "we must never forget the holocaust". Talk about asking for original sin. At the same time, they demand that we overlook the horrors they themselves do to Arabs. Talk about cynical egoists. -

Could and should AI replace teachers.
Parsve replied to up2you2's topic in Primary & Secondary Education
In my, not so humble, opinion it could not. It not even exist something that could be cald AI. A computer is just dumb switchers that not could answer anything that it not have been learned. So no, AI in the form it is today, could not replace a teatcher. A teatcher has to understand both the answer given and put it in relation to the correct answer. No computer is possible to that. Man is more intelligent then computers.
