Yeah, but they do it to each other too.
Almost everyone is a con artist here. They've grown up around this kind of behavior and learned all the tricks of the trade.
Then, us farang come over all kind, honest, naive, and as dumb as mules. Easy money.

I see Thais being very materialistic and try to keep up with the other Somsaks and Ting Tongs probably much more than I ever witnessed back West.
Cars, bike, gold, phones, designer things, house, land, making merit/donations, dowry, gifts, how much ice cream money their kid gets each day for school.......so much competition.
They are the only people I have even known to lie about the cost of something to make it more expensive. Lol (i.e. saying their house cost 10 million when it clearly cost 2 million).
It's probably just a massive chip on their shoulder. Insecurity. Or maybe "new money" folks. "Old money" people don't act like this.
Whereas, where I come from we might lie to make it sound cheaper, like we found a bargain.
Thailand is hands down the most shallow, materialistic place I have ever seen.

In Bangkok, I've never been denied a beer during those "supermarket ban" times.

However, I have a soft spot for the moaners who like to moan about everything but then claim they avoid exposing themselves to the things they're still moaning about. That about right @2009?
As a non-tourist, I can pretty much avoid most of the tourist troubles on my list, yeah. Lol

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm beginning to see a trend here.
Don't quote me on this but I hear there's apps to help people find airports and one-way flights out of here?
Interesting point.
I wonder how many RETURN tourists there are? Except from sex tourists, of course.
I am able to avoid most things on my list by not going to tourist areas, driving my own car etc. etc.

double price means foreigners are charged substantially higher. a Thai friend told me: she saw a foreigner was charged 5 times for lobster, but she did not dare to speak out because she was afraid she would be retaliated.
Stop complaining? what kind childish mindset: you are with us or you against us?
Exactly,
So many Thai apologists on here.

Come to Thailand:
- Get ripped off on your hotel
- Get ripped off by airport taxis
-Get ripped off by most other taxis in downtown areas
- Get ripped off to get into everything tourism attraction
- Get hassled in the streets and on the beach by lowlifes
- See how we have polluted our part of the Earth
-Appreciate our casual racism
- Be unable to swim in our water
- Consume our overpriced low quality goods
- Enjoy the cheap oil, MSG, and sugar in everything
-Risk life and limb on our roads
- Be robbed blind by a pack of rabid monkeys on an island
- Pay more for our pisswater beer than you do in your home country for a decent pint
-Don't worry. To make it all better we have stinky foul-mouthed hookers lined up on the streets for you. That's what you are here for
- Don't forget to stroke our ego by telling us how good Thailand is

Leave and re-enter Thailand on Thai passport.
Enter and leave the UK on UK passport.
Thanks for clearing that up.

So, you are saying, for the mother to take the children out of Thailand, she needs an authorisation for the foreign father to take the child out of Thailand. This still does not seem logical to me.
See what happens when a Thai mother tries to leave the country alone with mixed race kid. Lol
My EX was held by security until I made it through immigration and was able to verify it was my child too and we were leaving together.

Probably not, the letter is - to my knowledge - to protect foreigners to abduct Thai children. I can however not give you a definitely answer.
It's also to protect foreign children from being abducted by Thais.
And Thais abducting Thai children.

How it works is: leave on Thai passport, arrive on UK passport.
Then, the reverse when returning to Thailand.

I think you also missed my point entirely - probably deliberately - about there being more useful and important learning materials FOR CHILDREN that could be showcased in a classroom than homosexual couples, or something similar.

By the alphabet I think you mean phonics. Teaching of the sounds associated with letter shapes, blending them, learning to recognise digraphs and other sounds associated with particular letter shape groupings is ongoing in any classroom. Direct teaching takes between 20 and 25 minutes a day in the early years. Use of such learning is then applied across all other curriculum areas. The amount of wall space required for a display of such sounds is really quite small.
There is plenty of room and time for other areas of learning to be pursued…
So “the alphabet” (LOL) is ever present in any classroom. Hope that eases your concerns.
Lol. Thanks for that.

Although if she is too drunk, you could then be facing rape charges , if she wasnt sober enough to give consent , you could get charged with rape
In most cases, it's the guy who is probably legless drunk. Lol.
Although, I get that consent doesn't work that way.

I don't need her to be super smart or anything -- in fact I ain't into nerds -- but she can't be painfully thick.
I think cultural compatibility is more important. Even the educated Thai chicks are beyond my comprehension.
