ChipButty

he obviously doesn't see himself as a criminal,

The problem is the Lunatic's are running the Asylum

On BOLT from Rawai to the airport 690 baht airport taxi a 1000 baht and local taxi's also a 1000 baht

BigC have had their moments, some years ago a farang wanted to buy a microwave and they wouldn't sell him one because he didn't have a work permit, that was a true story,

The problem is, it depends on where the Thai person learnt to speak English if they learn from their friends then that's the English they understand, not your English and yes many can speak some English but don't understand English hence the blank stare, then you have all the different English accents, my English accent is still quite strong so I have to tone it down if I'm speaking to a Thai or the staff at 7/11, but I can speak Thai anyway, Don't forget all the other foreigners like Germans/French/Italians/Russians all speaking their versions of English not easy for them, I remember sitting at a bar one night got these Russians trying to order cocktails and drinks and the girl was not understanding them, the guy remarked why don't they speak English, I chipped in and said they do speak English but you are speaking English with a Russian accent that's what they don't understand, ok tell me what you want and I will translate it for you,

the same in the UK, I think during the day it's Breaking and Entering, in the night it's classed as Robbery

I gave up looking a long time ago, here in Phuket places come and go,

we could do with a few more Russians it's quiet down here

Go to Central in the evening you will see them all,

I met a Russian couple here in Phuket who were going to Argentina his wife was pregnant if the baby is born there will get a Argentinian passport and the parents,

Looks like they are here to stay so get used to it,

In a normal country yes, this is Thailand

the attitude is not much better in 7/11 so I'm told, We lose, you lose

why would you want to see that?

Usually written in the contracts giving 24 hour notice,

putting sugar on chips I have to be honest I've never seen that, salt ok, I mostly make chips at home I dont often order them outside, great done in the air fryer,

the wife got me a Croissant this morning from 7/11 why does it have to be sweet? it would have been ok ham and cheese without the sugar,

No big deal, we own a condo and the locks a keycard which you need for other parts of the project if they had to they can enter our unit also the smoke alarm is linked to the security office they know exactly where it's gone off, We used to have a villa that had one of them key pads, it's easy to change the codes I used to change regular the one we had it used to burn through batteries, I have bunches of keys for other properties that are rented out and the owners are not here, tenants have been known to get locked out and lose keys, we do take a deposit for the keys, plus it's a pain in the backside getting new keys cut,

The work permits are different and usually a separate department for Burmese workers but I agree with you, around where I live there has been a lot of construction over the last couple of years and from what I can see is mostly migrant workers,

The police drive around my area looking for them, our cleaner tells us all the stories, you were lucky only 2000 baht I know of a story were it was 12,000 baht for 2 of them and to get the bike back which the police also confiscated,

in Kazakhstan to chemical castration might be the answer,

These people are just trying to survive on peanuts, give them a break

Start at the airports, where do we report any corruption? asking for a friend

They have had that for a long time

could be 80 in this country
