If you know that about yourself you will pay up when asked I'm sure . Don't worry. Even if I was sure I had not eaten 50 baht of food I would pay anyway because know how poor these vendors are, how hard they work and how difficult the last two years have been. I would err on the side of mercy, be gracious and give her a tip. This farang didn't want to lose face BUT you gain face by yielding in Thailand.

Spiked is libertarian contrarian as I am. You are trapped in solipsism- those who oppose you or Climate legislation are 'right wing' and 'right' is unethical, is wrong. But that is as silly as the performative activism of the pantomime character of Extinction Rebellion. Incidentally your position is supported by the Morning Star and SWP magazine and The Guardian. I bet your climate scientist are supported them too.

If you regard human kind as inherently bad and the earth as good - Gaia theory like many eco extremists who also don't know they are following Malthusian theory. Paris COP21, the climate-sceptic Schiller Institute argues: “The present push for a CO2 reduction program is deeply rooted in … Malthusian ideological motivation. But Malthus was wrong in the Eighteenth Century, and his followers are wrong today.”

My question too- or Germolene. Basically Thailand does not really 'do' antiseptic cream. Antibiotic yes and anti bacterial yes. However I found this Bepanthen Antiseptic cream very similar to savlon.

The Concept of Face In Thailand
The Hammer2021 replied to LaosLover's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
The meaning of face in Asia is much misunderstood by Westerners who confuse it with their idea of pride. But ideas of giving face and face as a communal concept don't even have words for these concepts in English. The Thai haters and bashers like to blame face for sensational arguments and violence but needless to say their grasp of social anthropology is limited but it seems their hate and contempt for Thais isn't. -
Monkeypox likely to follow in HIV footsteps
The Hammer2021 replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Nightlife hotspots? HIV aids spread from the gay communities in New York and San Francisco via Bathhouse scene and was linked to promiscuity and multiple partners then jumped to the hetro-normative groups via intravenous drug users and bisexual men. The origins and causes of AIDS was obfuscated in a very early example of medical science having to yield to ideology we now call W**ism. -
High Index Progressive No Line Bifocals Lenses
The Hammer2021 replied to JimTripper's topic in Bangkok
Mine cost 45k the same price as UK and Kuwait but it depends on your eye condition. Any optician can organise them from the famous chain with the pretty girls Top Charoen to major hospitals. I got mine made cheaper at an opticians in Pattaya. Some times like Specsavers you get a two for one deal.
