I never found my true calling in a traditional workplace either. It felt like I was always working for someone else. Some of the organizations will support you with food and housing etc if you convert, you just work for that vision and it becomes your job of sorts. You become a missionary where the parent organization sends you a stipend. I think they are very careful recruiting expats though and watch carefully for people just needing money where their heart is not in the work.

The loo, bathroom.

Some americans still call it the can, and also the john. Most people in the Usa won't call it the toilet, usually restroom or men's room or ladies room, more rarely the washroom.

For many it's an easy, cheap and catered location where you can get settled in quickly. A lot of people just don't leave once they are settled in. Much easier then taking the ferry to some weird local beach town somewhere. Less hectic then looking for a place in bangkok. Less trouble then trying to start new in a province somewhere where you stand out and people are not used to foreigners.

Get copies of everything before you sign a lease. If it's not provided, go elsewhere.

One meets a lot of guys like this at expat clubs.

I don't care if you're interested. See you there next week rain or shine.

You're seeing a facade, an act. Ask when they are in a neutral venue and not working.

Most of the girls there don't want to be there. It's just to earn money.

They should have locked him in the "lavatory" until the plane landed. Why risk letting him out of the "toilet" to be tied to a "seat". I mean, there are other "John's" passengers could use aboard the aircraft. 😅

Assuming you get it with no problems. The tellers at the bank I work with are pretty dull. Even doing an in person cash deposit seems confusing. Best thing to do is make a flat deposit and forget it in my opinion. The less interaction the better.

Nobody cares about thailand, they are on a flight out.

It's a lavatory, not a toilet.

I would just wait and you would likely get a demand to file for a prior year. At that point you could choose to play ball, file and maybe pay a small non-payment penalty, or just figure it's too much hassle and head for plan b at another location.

Who cares, it's gone now.

It's a good time to start. Let us know how it goes. Please don't touch the food or eating utensils at the buffet, it can spread sickness.

Was this an unruly passenger?

Not everybody. Some people flip out. Are you blind? Go watch the video again.

Not everybody breaks. If that were true there would be chaos. However, a lot of people are on edge, have personal problems, don't tolerate stress well. I'm not sure what ideal world you live in, but it must be nice 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Farmers burning is more just smoke, not really nasty smog. The smog in bangkok looks more like the heavy pollutants from exhaust or industry that hang in the air much more, not smoke.

Sure. Forget the whole thing and have a plan B unless you are tied to Thailand for some reason. It's unlikely (but not impossible) you will be stopped at the airport on your way out.

You're pretty naive. People flip out over small things like that all the time. It's called the straw that broke the camels back. Build up of stress, basically.

In the USA they ride, but not on every flight. Nobody knows if that particular flight has an air marshal on board or not. It's random whether there will be one on board. They are distinct from, and not employed by any particular airline, so often airline staff does not know who they are. They take aisle seats usually near the exit doors or the cockpit.

I wonder why he flipped out inside the lavatory? Maybe no tissues or something 🤷🏻‍♂️. The confrontations with other people were secondary.
