Really? So some positive stories would be nice no? -

Why is your top article almost always about violence or outrage involving a foreigner, usually the one coming the act? Do you have some sort of agenda? Have you made some sort of pact with the BIB? 🫣 -
Foreigner Assaults Phuket Tuk Tuk Driver Over Fare Disagreement
Speedhump replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I never use tuk tuks as I can't stand the often abrasive attitude of their drivers at the rank. I'd probably be the same if I had to deal with tourists all day long. I'll pay the same for a Grab taxi anyway, as tuk tuk drivers 'negotiating skills' are too often 'get as much as this mug will pay' and I can't be arsed with them. -
Really? That's good. It means how a person believes they are perceived by others. It may mean not backing down in a confrontation, it may mean honouring debts, or even keeping one's high status, it may even involve lying to avoid being exposed in some weakness or mistake, although being exposed in a lie would probably mean loss of face anyway. But 'face' does not simply mean lying.

I've had the same TM30 slip stapled in my passport since 2017. I've flown outside Thailand three times since then and once internally, and neither Suvarnabhumi nor Don Mueang immigration have questioned it. Hua Hin immigration either when I extend my O/A visa every year or do 90 day reports. Doesn't seem a thing. I have a blue house book but have never been asked to produce it, ever, for anything. I never had an I/O house visit either, I feel ignored. 😅

That is not the meaning of the Asian concept of 'face' at all. 😕

Lazada Credit Card refunds - time taken?
Speedhump replied to Digitalbanana's topic in General Topics
I disagree. Refunds just about always credited to my Thai bank within 2-5 days after I send the goods back via Post Office. -
How long an actual 60 minute be actual massaging?
Speedhump replied to DonniePeverley's topic in General Topics
A good point. A friend's daughter worked there for a week or two and decided it wasn't for her, . I do sometimes, depends on the change I get. Not always though. At least they have aircon! 🤣 I give Grab food delivery bikes 40 baht because I live 8kms outside of town. And I try not to order in wet weather too. It must be a grim trip. Merry Christmas. -

I completely disagree with your meanspiritedness. Punishing poor people is the only outcome of your view. Merry Christmas, goodwill to all. -

Oh dear. You really are absurd. -

As I mentioned to another reply, they earn tiny money for working all day in hot sun. 20 or 30 Baht is nothing to me once or occasionally twice a week. In the 1960s my dad, a lowly London bus driver, used to tip petrol station attendants too. I learned compassion from him. Try it. -

Because I always tip? Ok I admit I don't tip for bad service. Other than that I believe the word applies to you, unless you can expound on your very silly comment.... -

Speedhump replied to DonniePeverley's topic in General Topics
What rubbish you talk. I actually always tip, massage, petrol stations, everywhere. My POINT which you entirely missed in your rush to spew invective was that the tip is not to hope you get better service next time, it's to show appreciation for the service you received. Idiot. -
Queers for Palestine is apparently a thing
Speedhump replied to Jingthing's topic in Gay People in Thailand
Eurovision has always been very kitchy, maybe we're just following thr trend this year. He's a useful idiot on Palestine for sure though. Wife and I sat in front of Years and Years on a long flight ages ago. Very nice bunch. -

Military Doctor Surrenders After 5-Hour Standoff
Speedhump replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
He fired three shots into the ground? So he was angry but not homicidal. The problem isn't the anger, which many of us often feel, it's the terrifying availability of sidearms in Thailand. Close the story. -
My friend was a tomboy in her 20s but grew out of it. She still admires a female form though, I'm sure she could be tempted. She's very feminine with a very pretty face. Some will be bi, some lesbian. Takes all sorts in this world.
