The "caucasians" (or the other way round) will badly treat or discriminate the other communities. The other commuities being hardworking would attain financal status nevertheless and give it back at one point, once they are socially and politically more powerful. Then the caucasions again give it back - tits for tat in an absurd never ending belligerancy that destroies social harmony and prosperity to some extent. Marc-Aurèle would have said treat others as you would like to be treated,

OP could try this site from Marko. Not sure of the quality of the fresh seafood however. https://www.makro.pro/en -
Regarding MBK Mall, I used to regularly visit like practically a pilgrimage for some types of shopping. But since I saw the prices on many items were either similar or more then in Europe and for certain small (non electronic) items cheaper on AliExpress, I really would think twice and compare quickly on the internet, before making any purchases. It's great visit for anybody who does not bother to compare, but everything is no nore the deal of the year at MBK.

I first thought it was a common steel-gold Rolex Daytona. But considering the ca$h flow on the gentleman, a Patek would obvisouly be the preferred model. -

Why not have an app to do the TM's online, or to order the residence certificate online and that can be printed at home ? -

Online sites for buying a mobile
observer90210 replied to mike111's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Lazada looks nice but they do not seem to carry Samsung mobiles.... Another issue is delivery as depending on the area, I would not blindly trust it. How does lazada deliver and I would rather have it delivered at a reliable pick-up point ? Any ideas, suggestions, comments or critics ? -

What is the tipping practice in Thailand ?
observer90210 replied to observer90210's topic in Bangkok
I always try to get the groceries shopping at the open air markets done by the maid and stay a bit at distance when she bargains the price. I prefer to give her af fair tip at the end of the shopping, and pass my privilege of paying the special farang price at the market???? -
It looks really nice, well done. I would be of little help, but why not mount the cabinets in 2 phases ? What I mean is to mount the grey cabinets only till the left part of the WM, then run it on full spin and see the movements then accordingly you can finish having the right part cabinets mounted ? Another idea that comes to mind is to jam the sides with a shock absorbent high resilience foam plate such as the machine won't be able to move when shaking ? I have a 3 yr old Bosch and I could practically mix cocktails on the top as it really starts so shake and move on 1200 round spin dry.

To follow the general implicit practice, I tend to leave around 10% of the check in a restaurant in Thailand for the tip, provided the food and service was good naturally. In a swanky place with snooty staff, I may leave less ...... and in a more humble establishment, I may leave a bit more. ???? Also always leave a bill with the cleaning ladies in the hotel and make it a point to give a bit extra to the older, heavier and less attractive ones !! Question - as not to be another farang fool throwing bills around, and not wanting to spoil unnecessarily, what would be your idea of a decent tip by local standards in the main cities or beach towns in Thailand : in restaurants ? hotel maids ? for the cleaning maid comming at home ? the handyman comming over for repairs ? Thank you and have a great week end.

I think that even without Google, people here and there lack elementary sense of humour oridioms, and have a confused vision of any metaphor and untimately lack rudimentary social skills that are to have a minimum of politeness or humility in daily interactions in Thailand. Our western arrogance has no place in Asia, no matter how much we think that we are humourous or shine with intelligence. At the end of the day it just a matter of those who have class and those who do not my dear fellow.
