It depends a lot on where you live. Here in Mukdahan, there isn't much choice when it comes to Western products other than the Makro.

 

Of course, I can buy beer everywhere. But most stores carry relatively old beer, while at the Makro it is usually reasonably fresh.

Every even  little bigger villages has beer/alcohol/cicarette etc. dealer where all mom@pop shops buy they stuff! If i want buy many case of beer i buy in same place straight from dealer! Need little watch around. 

Just was in news that Thailand Pass replace COE after 7 days . What i know you need still to do COE to get in? I come back next year after all hassle is gone i hope.

Bingo - plus the burds all have rice bellies and goofy teeth.

 Cheap Charlies pay few hundred pesos and what you pay is what you get! Philippines woman has won many miss universe title (25) Thailand total 3, last one 1988. Even that tell little. But that is in viewers eyes. Also in dateing page's if compare average woman from those (Phil/Thai) average Filipina look much more nice than Thai woman. Every country has minuses and positives. Philippines really are more dangerous place than Thailand but idiots get trouble in any place. Good food you can find everywhere, but people who walk whit blinded eyes  not find nothing. But that i agree that fast food places is really sht in Philippines. Mcdonalds dont use real meat and KFC is whitout taste, Jollibee dont earn even mentioning.

When I was there I had to impose a lower weight limit on the women I dated (38Kg), as they had the smallest women I'd ever encountered.

Yeah my ex was 149 centimeter whit feather on her head, weight 39 kilogram. Little skinny but really round, firm tush!

So what is new for 23 years I have been putting my contact info on my arrival card?

Since whenever I had to give it again as a TM-30. Fit-to-Fly must be a gaffe. No other country used that nonsense as far as I know.

 

Yeah! Who even try to get on plane if not healthy enough to fly! Also airline companys not take sick passenger on plane anyway! You can get sick after you have get stupid fit-to- fly document from doctor!

This number has been same many days! Amazing! 

Almost every (who have job) Thai can get new car out whit few thousand BTH and montly pay that to like Toyota! If he works in goverment he can easily get loan from goverment bank. Why have even relationship to ex has to wonder, coz normaly ex huspend's dont ever contact to they ex's even they have kid's whit them! Why you think in Thailand has sin sod "system" if normaly man has something to do whit ex womans!

Yep, this is a deal breaker. 

 

1. If you test before, what happens if u test positive? Suddenly you just lost all your flights, hotel bookings, wasted time off work, etc. Plans ruined and money down teh drain. Massive stress even if you test negative. 

 

2m test positive on arrival? Goodbye holiday. You are now locked up against your will in hospital and stuck with a large bill. You also wasted all your time off work to sit in hospital in a foreign country. 

 

Thailand will continue to wither economically until they come to their senses in this

That is the risk what every traveller must take these days! Dosent matter where you are going, airline's demand you are tested before flight. What happen in destination, well that is up to country where you are going. But surely its not nice to get covid , in Thailand or elsewhere!

Lmfao. How can they say it has bottomed when the 4th quater has hardly started. Thailand is export and tourism dependant and neither of these will see any meaningful improvement this year.

If they not "keep" BTH so strong they will get export industry way up! Also that may help to attract tourist to come in country! But what i know im not economist!

I'm sorry brother but you are looking for/waiting for something that is not going to happen. You are looking at the situation thru western eyes, not Thai eyes. When you get past that thirst for recognition, things actually get better.

I never try be Thai! Im not! I know what is real and what is not! My marriege whit Filipina was fake and money base. Not whit my Thai wife! Still people can be better in Phil than in Thailand! If dont have much experience then show how much have or only shut up! If we are not talking from our own knowlege why we are talking about!? All can have own opinion but saying only somebody is wrong is bla bla bla.... and only from people who dont say nothing. Only say you are wrong, whitout say why he/she know better or what kind "experiense" have to tell otherwise!

No I do not. Respect is earned, not granted. What have you done in Thailand to earn respect other than aging?

Yes maybe respect was wrong word. I have raist to respect older and i have shown that my behavior to others. Im not old enough to get "honored" im just 49, but have experiece from many culture's. 

After i come back home and see my mother in law again i show her thai way respect. Then she going to give me hugh (before anyway). Always when she find out i going out of Thailand ,  my wrist has been full "white string" everybody in village/family come to be my "friend". When is mothers day i have wai deep and go to ask her "blessing" whit my head on floor front of her. She putt her hand top my head say some whit Loei language. Not even Thai or isaan, at time she spoke Loei. Dont know how other people live in Thailand i live my own way and try be member of country. I only want nobody dont watch me down and be rasist! End of topic!

Why do you believe you should be shown respect? You are a farang. You are not part of Thai culture. You are almost invisible.

 What if im Buddhist? If i get respect almost every other country why not in Thailand? Thailand want people to come in, you dont think they should chance they attitude? Most of respect i get coz my wife. They respect her high position so they give me crumb's lol

No worries about the English!!

 

But, if you understand , why would you expect a proper wai? Not going to happen with most random Thais. Maybe with friends and acquaintances.

I dont care random Thais! I think Thais attitude. Many some high position Thais watch you like you are circus animal! Should have education to behave and show respect to other's! Just starters you understand they not respect you and that is problem in they way! Even they have many smile, they think nobody farang cant understand they culture, but first meet(what all Thais know right away) if they dont wai or wai is not "high" enough all know! Everybody in room know he/she has already F whit Y, you should know that also! That is point to know meaning of wai!
