    I have lived in Thonburi across the river from Bangkok for over 10 years and during that time I have been going to the same small local barbershop.  When I first went there, haicuts were THB 100 and I always tipped 40 baht.  A few years back, the cost of a went up to 120 baht; understandable and no big deal.  Today I went in fot a haircut and a sign read "haircuts 200 baht." A big jump I thought but it is what it is.  My Thai friend was with me and he told me the price for Thai is still 120 baht; only the cost for non Thai is 200.

     

    I think I will change barbers, wondering if I should tell them why.

    Oh ffs

    This behavior is not limited to a certain nationality.  I'm an American. I take no joy in hearing that the accused is British. The United Kingdom has always been a loyal and steadfast friend to my country. I dont understand the constant nation bashing that goes on here. I wish the moderators/management would put a stop to it.

    Yes I agree. I would attribute it to a low level of education.

    Implant is costly, takes many visits and the time for the implant pin to graft is about 6 months before any crown can be fitted.

    I needed a new bridge which included a root canal and an implant pin. I also had 2 ceramic crowns on either side. All of this was completed in under 3 weeks. That was done in Phuket 14 years ago and they have been great to this point.

    Don't know if I spelt it right but anyway who cares....

     

    I havent been there since 2008

     

    Im thinking of retirement there 

    I remember driving from Chiang main a rented car 

    Went thru Pai etc 

    Is Pai still have a lot of Muslim residents ? And backpackers 

     

    Anyway my question is about Mai Hong Son ,?

    I'm sick of that dry Isaan area I want to move to the North West 

     

    Maybe a small house with a garden in Mai Hong Son or Pai 

     

    I liked the cooler weather, but I think houses are expensive near that big lake ?

     

    Who is retiring in MHS or Pai?

    Anyone know about life and real estate there 

    You initial sentence speaks volumes of your charachter.

    A Thai taxi driver faced criticism for a viral video of him chasing away a foreign passenger by pulling her out of his cab. The driver defended himself saying the foreign woman kicked his car door over an air conditioning dispute.

     

    The Facebook page, โหดจัง จังหวัดภูเก็ต (meaning so brutal, Phuket province), shared a video when a Thai taxi driver pulling a foreign woman out of his cab at a petrol station on December 24 with the caption saying…

    “This happened at the Bang Chak Petrol Station on Bypass Road in Phuket. What happened there? A witness shared this video with the page’s administrator.

     

    This is destroying the image of the country and also the image of Phuket taxis. This foreign woman already reported the matter to the police. We are waiting for more details on the story.”

     

    The video shows the taxi driver opening the left door of his car and pulling the female passenger out. The passenger could not resist him and got out of the car with her bag. The driver tried to get all of her belongings out of his car before the video was cut.

     

    The Facebook page later shared a video of the taxi driver clarifying the incident yesterday, December 25. The driver said he had to drive the foreign woman away because she caused a scene after complaining about the air conditioning.

    I've got a white board in the living room that my wife and I write COD purchase on.
    When a COD arrive we check the board for the price.  If there is no match, we don't accept the package.
    Easy breezy.  :thumbsup:

    You can’t say W&&te board anymore. It is a non binary washable surface from which to collect your thoughts into print.

    thank me later Brother 😎

    Driving etiquette and respect for traffic laws in Thailand has to the worst in the world. Either ignorance or just plain stupidity 

    You don’t belong in Thailand. I am sure the roads in your country are fantastic.? But then, if new infrastructure was built here to your standards, prices will have to increase which will give you another reason to call Thai people stupid.
