  1. All depends on the tone?! ;-) :-(. It could be just people of European origin but it all depends on the perception of the person and the context. This is a very nationalistic country.

  2. Hey Kid, get off of my lawn!!!!!!

    They roll up the streets when the sun goes down, doesn't matter to me cause I am in bed by 8, up with the sun. If you are going to the party, not so much the place for you, if you have long left the party and have time for the birds and butterflies then come up to Isaan.

  3. Sometimes if you enroll in their fan club they give you extra weight with checked luggage ie. Nokair, carry on I have been checked once and they charged exorbitant fees, having said that one time I was on a plane and dropped a very heavy bag and was not happy to see that their was a small child in the aisle that it barely missed.

  4. I am happy to live here in thailand, Thais are on a different economic scale than westerners. In most instances you get a great deal in housing and food and many other things, the buses are incredibly cheap, just a few baht for everyone. I hear a lot of complaints about park fees and zoos, but suck it up. You can get a discount card at the movies. All in allow we are in a sweet spot.

  5. Used them a lot before 2013, they were good, always took premium economy, got bounced to business and used points for business and got flat bed, great trip. they used to have great prices on good for one year round trip, then they finessed them to 3 month max. Their US hub is in Seattle based out of Taiwan.

  6. There were no images of Buddha until Alexander the great started putting statues of himself in the countries that he conquered, it was 500 years after the death of the Buddha that the first images appeared, the faces were fashioned after greek statues. Buddha said that he did not want images and that Buddha is within us all.

    Still it is tasteless to use these Buddha heads as decorative ornaments.
