Try Casilliero del Diablo for a red choice. Around 600 - 700 a bottle For the white ones, there are 3 choice below, that are definately worth trying: Las Condes Chardonnay for Chile for about 700 - 800 baht Chateau Le Gay Bordeaux Blanc for about 750 baht Slent Pinotage a Shiraz for 1100 - 1200 baht. (Yes, the last one went up slightly ???? ) For me this price range is good for wines like Shiraz, Chardonnay, pinot and Bordeaux. However, I am a sucker for Cabernet Sauvignon. The good ones there I usually find in the price range of 2000 - 3500 baht.

Probably 50 % to the top boss and the other was splitting.

Yeah, and what is wrong. I think it was good that they took the maximum amount. Or do you consider that a fine of 1 million would be ok? Maybe you should get 160 000 baht fine for driving without helmet, or 450 000 for driving to fast. Would you like that? Don´t bother to answer, because you will only talk about how rich they are and how much they can pay because of that. Something that we always hear about, when the rich get advantage, then it´s wrong according to many posters. If we want the law to be same there, then we must let the law be same here. They got the maximum fine, so that was what was possible according to the law. Is it wrong both when they follow the law and when they bend it?

Good Job!

Not a hater of foreigners. I have said, many times that I am one myself. Would not be a healthy thing to walk around and hate myself. How would you feel doing such thing? Neither an apologist of Thais. There are many who do crazy stuff and they many times have a too quick fuse. However, this has nothing to do with that. What is clumsy and invasive? They are the police. They have the right to do their job. The job includes checking bars and nightclubs, drugs and illegal activities of foreigners such as overstay, carrying prohibited drugs or using such. Here they chose to do that at the same time. What is wrong? You don´t have anything to worry about if you do not use drugs or go to places know for that or are on overstay illegally in the country. Why would you consider it invasive and clumsy if you are in the clear. Let them check and give them a smile.

No, it´s not complete nonsense at all. If you try to get a grip on what they are really doing. They are out for checking clubs, drugs and if they find foreigners they are checking them as well. What´s wrong with that. Probably just the need to complain again. I am happy, that they actually can do more than one thing at the same time. Only that, took them a long time.

Last words before hitting the surface: You were right honey, I shouldn´t have been taking that last drink!

No, it´s not any bad way of looking at foreigners. They are just checking that we follow the rules and have the right papers while in the country. Something that many here can´t accept, and just think they are entitled to stay as they wish.

No, he does not hate foreigners. I am one myself in this country. I only dislike the ones that are acting stupid, behave bad and creates problems. Unfortunately, the bigger part of them are Brits. That´s just a fact. First, I hope you are not calling me out to be gay, right? Because that is far from the truth. You can come and ask my wife. If you mean guy, then you are far off there as well. I am not trying to be Thai. However, I am polite, show them respect and associate with them. Probably a big contribution to why I feel so great here in Thailand..

Sorry, don´t understand what you are trying to say. More Thai than Thais??? Why would I try to be that, and would that be possible? I am very sorry to read that you fell you stand out like a sore thumb. Must be horrible, if you live in Thailand. To answer, Yes I live in Thailand, and I speak Thai to my neighbours. If they see me first it comes a happy Good Morning in English followed by a smile. After that they speak to me, and look at me, as one of them who lived here for many years now. Another example, when I go to the market, no one is lifting an eye when I walk by. There are no children in the whole city who points at me and say farang. The only thing I have done to achieve that is to smile back at them, be polite, joke with them and talk to them. You see how easy it can be. You should try it some time.

And Great Britain does not include England, so that is not a possibility? Moreover, the talk was about Brits. Isn´t that a name for the population of Great Britain? At last, what has Indians to do with this? Your passport defines who you are!

But, if one has a British passport, then one has become a Brit, right. Don´t we count that out of citizenship no more? If not, please tell me when that happened.

Irrelevant, as I behave in the country I visit or decide to live in, I become invisible. It´s called melting in.

Yes, he could, but his choice was the stupid one.

Have I said that it doesn´t go for other nationalities as well? I am just reacting on how many are trying to set focus on other things as soon as it has to do with a Brit on this forum. But, then again. Maybe it´s just because it is too common with that kind of problems, so it quickly must be covered up as too many people will see the truth.

Wonder why so many posters are asking that question. Please search the forum. Question already answered before.

Oh dear! Run for cover.

Asking such question.

Actually, that is 100% true. As usual they are fleecing the foreigner.

What's up with the roads in Thailand? They are just bad. Nothing to hang yourself up on.

Putting them in his mouth and shooting them of with his tongue.

Nothing to do with classy. It´s just more economic. A coffin is far cheaper than having the loser go through the justice system.

Not a big thing. Mother China wont miss them, as they are too many already.

Actually, I would have a bit of difficulty swallowing that my wife cut her finger of in front of my face as well.

Where is the farang bashing? Are you saying that you never read complaint about Thai Immigration and officers involved on this forum? In that case, I will look for a good optician for you.
