I politely avoid all unnecessary interaction with locals who are not family or friends unless an error to my disadvantage has to be politely rectified.

Lol, unlike tourist amateurs, I just pay the exact amount by QR/scan when I already know I'm not going to leave a tip. I tip normal (20) to larger amounts (50-100) at most restos, even when eating alone. I just don't tip at places where I feel that paying more than for the food consumed isn't deserved. Like I said, I think the food there is ok. That's not the problem.

Food is basically alright at CC but I'd never leave a single baht tip there.

Or, just let the govt handle the disposal at zero cost. Can't squeeze water out of a dead diamond.

I don't really worry about returning rental cars with a little more gas in the tank than when I pick them up, so....

Five years ago an article like this would've enraged me. Now......meh. All systems normal. F'n pathetic.

Well it's better to have it than not when the POS bank tries to lay the burden of proof on the customer.

555..... I like convenience and support any technology that makes life in this place easier. But yea, agree, I'll prolly start carrying more cash again as well..... Seeya at the checkout.

I love running into these walking man buns in bars. Always fun to mess with.

Shooting someone over a lousy 10k does seem pretty stupid, especially when there's zero chance of anything being paid back by a dead debtor - but I suppose they do this to make an example so the guy who owes a million baht will likely pony up and not default on the vig.

Reading sh_t like this is really the last straw for me. From now on I will set my transfer limits in the apps to ZERO and just turn on again whenever needed, be that at Big C, a bar, or paying for ticket via Prompt. A bit annoying but really only takes 30 seconds to do, and I get a text notification every time I increase/decrease this limit so that can serve as proof of fraud if funds ever "disappear" between these times.

Most couldn't SPELL "condom" 😁 In the 8 years I flew there almost weekly from Malaysia, I wasn't asked ONCE. I'm no fan of the Catholic church or any religion/cult/faith that suppresses common sense, but that one I really gotta thank them for.

(posted in farming section as it seems more closely related to the category than the usual falang McMansion chanote/fake company BS, but mods please feel free to move if deemed inappropriate for here) Disclaimer: I'm an idiot when it comes to Thai farming land "ownership" and the various types of non-red-chanote title deeds, not am I financially involved in this deal but I am super curious and would like to educate myself. So the spousal unit tells me her father is buying a fairly large sized block of rubber tree land (25 rai) from the "Sahakorn" https://sahakorn.pmk.ac.th/ So this is, as far as I can tell, a just a credit cooperative. This is what my ears have processed coming from her: 1. She keeps saying that Sahakorn is "government" - how is a credit cooperative "government? 2. The land has "official measurements" (ok, good) 3. But the paperwork and proof of "ownership" (she calls it a "guarantee from Sahakorn i.e. "govt") will not be the typical deed/title certificate that has some kind of Garuda on it?! BUT she says that after 1 year a chanote can be applied for. This is in the sticks of Buriram province. I know a lot of the land in farming areas is non chanote'ed but shouldn't there at least be a title deed with some sort of colored garuda on top (blue/green etc etc)?? Or is this buying land from Sahakorn thing totally legit/normal and as usual, the dumbazz falang is sticking his long nose into things he should not even be curious about as this is "how it's done here"? -Confused falang in the jungle-

Failippinas - rawdog heaven!

Should we take out own Cool-Aid too?^^

I didn't know there's a "Chinese type" ?

I would guess there are less than 200 Western falangs in the entire country who truly speak accent free, native level Thai (including understanding cultural contexts/syntax of the language).

I'll take your word for it. Someone was actually weird enough to repost it I guess. Apologies for the 'moron' comment. That would be the bottle or Worcestershire (sp).

Show me where please, or just tell me the name of the FB group.

That's because I posted it in another thread HERE ON AN, moron.

This is what my Brit friend considers a "tasty snack".....cheap toast doused with 'Whorechestshirley' sauce to the point where it's soggy, topped with chemical cheese. And this MF owns a large restaurant! Culinary savages.

If bob was Greek they call him Eusyphiles.

All the countries advertised have legit official programs for citizenship by investment/deposit, so IF the lady is acting as an agent for those programs then there's really nothing dodgy about it provided she has the proper work permit to conduct such promoting here.
