  1. I believe English is taught in school in Thailand. The question is did they graduate from elementary school.
  2. Learn to enjoy making workloads more difficult and wasting time and resources. The whole thing can be twisted around to your advantage.
  3. They put dirt in coffee cans here. Your drinking dirt.
  4. Ask the chap in front of you to hold your spot while you sit down. I don’t mind this at all and am happy to do it. It costs me nothing. When they are close just walk over in front of him, have a short chat, and take your place behind when people realize your with him and we’re just waiting on the side.
  5. Many banks will do an international wire. Get a new bank. Fidelity is a bit weird. Even when I was living in the USA they gave me a hassle about my address.
  6. I got the Pfizer vax but have been reading so much anti vax stuff, on YouTube and twitter, that I’m afraid of having a heart attack.
  7. You mean get off?
  8. Wear sunglasses ????
  9. They may need the coffin.
  10. The correct thing to do is present the bill and change neutrally or just on the table for a couple, not at the person of your choice. It stems from a lack of boundaries on the servers part. Their personal stuff is leeching into their job. If you had a new employee who did this often you can watch for them possibly messing with the food of customers they did not like or other type of stuff of that nature in worst case scenarios.
  11. I dated a Thai girl who always pointed back to me when they tried to hand back the change to her ???? I liked this because it made the server uncomfortable every time.
  12. My leg hurts. Can you help me?
  13. That’s a nice plantation you got’s going there. Tell that boy to cut them there weeds and not back sass…
  14. Make sure you have a mask handy. Those bloggers are all over the place now. You can see them walking down the street with the selfie sticks or just holding the phone up too high. They are even in hotels and condo lobbies walking through the place viewing rooms. If your in the facility, pool or gym your fair game it seems.
  15. There’s one guy who walks around and films condos. That’s all he does almost every other day. Walks in and pretends he wants to rent and asks to see rooms and all the facilities, pool, gym, etc. He always is careful to avoid being in the mirror in the elevator or bathroom, but will film everyone else, including the <deleted> of the help as they go up the stairs, then people make jokes about it in the comments. I think word is getting out that he is just wasting staff time. People are catching on that it is not a serious rental inquiry.
  16. It’s called “silent meals” and is very common in Thailand. You can see couples sitting together that never say a word the entire time.
  17. People really need to differentiate between the hill area and the other area down by the russian market. The hill area sucks. You need transportation in and out and if you walk there are packs of wild dingo dogs who live in the park area on the way out. If your looking for a place you need to map it to see if it's in the hill area by buddha hill or the area down lower.
  18. What country are you in that’s cheaper than Thailand? It’s hard to believe you are saving money by leaving. I could see you leaving elsewhere to have medical insurance or to work, but it’s just a game of chance. Who knows if you will need it or not. Lots of people just pass quickly.
  19. IMO the new age thing is not necessarily gay. There are a lot of much older gays around like in their 60’s or even 70’s that are unkept and don’t dress well. They also appear to be non-affluent or skint, though you never really know for sure, it’s just how they present. Most of them like Thai guys though, not other foreigners. If you go to (boyz town??) in Jomtein you can see them sitting outside near that condo complex next door and also on the outside chairs on that bar st. It’s on that first road as you approach dongtan beach. they have a certain look that’s hard to describe and I don’t think they venture far from that area often.
  20. People act weird around those kiosks. A lot of international travelers don’t know how to use them without assistance and they get nervous about whether they will get into the country or not.
  21. A lot of guys that hang around bars are gay. It just seems like it’s straight guys drinking together.
  22. Usually you are grandfathered in if you insure early. Did they cut you off at a certain age? Would be helpful to know to plan my future. Also, it's not required for the O is it?
  23. Why don’t you consider bkk to live? Not all nightlife and has everything needed and more.
  24. He dropped in for a business conference. No choice on location. If it was him, it would have been held in Hua Hin ????????‍♂️ or at the golf club.
  25. I used to work in retail and people generally don’t explode and trash the place randomly. Something else happened here and we are not getting the whole story.
