That’s daylight robbery, they must of been wearing designer clothes with a trolley with designer bags for them to be interested. Noticed jewellery and items in their original boxes. They should shake down all airline staff as they are well known to walk through with orders from overseas. I know airline hostesses that bring in top of the line goods and cosmetics to their supply customers.

Auspicious License Plates Fetch Nearly B30m
Hans Johnson replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Now they are going to have to put an armed guard 24/7 on the car and hope no body steals their plates. So much for Chinese good lucky numbers -
Why not get their 50% of the police force to reduce the death toll and book drink driving and bad driving and dangerous driving. Not chasing freebies.

Nearly 34,000 Vehicles Sold at 43rd Bangkok Motor Show
Hans Johnson replied to webfact's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
The amount of people that believe that they need to impress their friends and family with a new car/Ute when they go up country is amazing. One of my employers bought a top of the range Ute at a show to go home with a new motorbike on the back and now want me to help pay off because he’s broke and doesn’t want to loose face. If his girlfriend didn’t shop on line with continuous deliveries maybe he could survive. Now I see where the house hold dept is so high. -

Thailand trapped in a household debt quagmire
Hans Johnson replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Thai household debt comes from people biting off more than they can chew. They insist on buying every thing new and the top of the range to look good. New houses, cars, the latest phones /technology and have more than one credit card. On line shopping has created extra financial strain also. -
Why Are Thai Women so Fine-boned?
Hans Johnson replied to GammaGlobulin's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
When I first landed in the land of smiles over 25 years ago you never saw over weight women. I was always impressed by how much vegetables and fruit they consumed never over eating and their cleanliness compared to western women. -
Advice on dealing with crazy taxi drivers?
Hans Johnson replied to Mikeheo's topic in General Topics
Tell them to fast, if he won’t slow down in a area where there are other taxis stop him and get out. What happened to Uber? Never had a problem with them. when my wife gets good drivers she takes their number and books them. -
The hair dressers in the malls are normally clean and around 300-400 for shampoo and cut and usually a quality job. As the street barber is cheaper, but be warned the equipment is not sterile or cleaned and you can can get scalp infections. A relative of my wife came to me complaining that he had red lesions on his scalp and when checking he had herpies and believes it came from the barber he visited.

Would you still want to visit Thailand with these new entry rules?
Hans Johnson replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No. My paranoid wife would be freaking out over the fact some passengers are not vaccinated and tested and any carrying COVID. Very dangerous for the elderly individuals. The airlines should stand by the rule no test no flying.- 211 replies

I consider I was lucky, I married into a well to do Thai Chinese family where you are expected to pay a dowry which I didn’t have ,so my girl friend had to help out with gold and money display on a tray and a big hotel wedding. The mother called the next day to collect the dowry and pickup keys for a house in Silom and they have a new car for us as well. The wife’s parents and family have been so supporting towards me as a farang and always helped out with our business and any extra expenses. Today looking back I was so lucky to have a great wife and family.
