The owners deserve a flogging for abusing their workers. They're already using cheap imported labour. Makes you wonder how many of them are working illegally.

The fact that they chose to work for a skinflint is NOT an excuse for them to expect me to subsidize them, no matter how good the food is or attentive the service.

What? More embarrassing than claiming to eat there frequently despite having more unacceptable food experiences than acceptable ones?

Maybe you need to live a bit longer?

Tipping is an affectation wrought of exposure to Americans. Sure, loads of people do it, even when the concept is an alien notion in their home country. There's absolutely no need to tip anyone in Thailand, ever.

And that's an excuse to come on here and moan about it? You're supposed to preface your glowing recommendation with something like, "I have no vested interests in this restaurant, but although the..." Otherwise, some members may think you're self-promoting.

Wow! So she has a variation of the affliction that fueled Obama's 'birther' nonsense? There's nothing quite as emancipating as non-blacks telling folks how the blacks think and feel, is there?

Thanks for confirming that you (also) have issues with women.

Oh! Look mum! Another Trump thread!!!!

...must be time for a few more, trite, banal and unimaginative 'brown envelope' comments.

Because HE's not worth it? You know, that "don't wrestle with a pig" thing?

Yes Nostradamus, right Nostradamus...

It's their credit card, so of course they are going to protect their money first. It's a CREDIT card, ie. it has THEIR money. It's not (never has been) the cardholder's money.

You need "urgent care" and yet here you are, venting to anonymous people and wasting bandwidth on the internet. A friend of mine, outwardly healthy and in his late 50's was referred to a cardiologist after his annual medical exam indicated low heart beat, around 50 bpm. He now has a pacemaker (I think he's on his third battery by now). More recently, another acquaintance was spooked after Googling a medical term related to cardiology that was used by his local doctor. He went to the government hospital, where after several hours waiting and flitting between departments, he saw a cardiologist who ran several tests/scan and said the word related to a non life-threatening condition, and he had nothing to worry about. For his troubles, he did subsequently get Covid. Don't know what is more dangerous, Google or Government hospitals.

You are obviously not a Thai person, so don't you see this as being far more beneficial and superior to the MRT discount for locals?

OMG yes! Apparently, there was a Thai waiter at the restaurant they ate at. It's well known fact that of all the menial Thai occupations, they are the most dangerous sort.

TAT is about foreign tourists coming to Thailand. This story is about less Thai tourists going on overseas vacations. TTAA is not TAT. Thanks for your attention.

Woke as. In other news, the religion of the murderer of three little girls in Southport is being played down as irrelevant too.

Oh yes there is.

As\ already mentioned, the GMP and other authorities are apparently investigating a three-stage incident that possibly started onboard flight QR 023 in flight, continued in the baggage claim area at MAN, with the final act that's getting all the media attention playing out in the pay-for-parking area. Appears that some ethnics got into some verbal abuse before it really kicked off when law enforcement arrived. Nothing to see here, move along now... ...but Palestine must be free!

Do you disagree that the latest "thugs punching and kicking cops" video clip is garnering considerably less airplay than the "cop kicking and stamping on helpless victims" video clip on your 'traditional media'? Yes, there are plenty of snapshots and freeze frames of the earlier, newer violent video clip that does not show the duration or ferocity of multiple assaults on the police, but it's usually followed by the entire video clip of the one "bad cop" in action.

yes yes, anybody who makes a point that you don't like and it's 'antifa', or 'far left nonsense', but you NEVER argue your case. it's just attempted smears and name calling and links to biased media.' Why is someone doubting the veracity of Fox 'classic antifa'? Do you really think Fox and all the others are bastions of truth? It's like you have a set number of templates in your head and then just project them onto others.

Of course, you were there and personally observed that apocryphal moment when the "left tuned a mostly peacef..." The left did what now?

And the right will say and do anything to steal it.
