one should tell tourists to stop negotiating with fake watch sellers from first hand. Don't even start a fri...g negotiation unless you really intend to buy a fake watch for the price that is called minus 70%.

What is so astonishing, I watch the Russian tourists stop the fake watch seller, wind him up in a 30 minute bartering session, and then try to send him his way.

If I was a seller, I would get angry, too. You are wasting my time, I have got a life to live by selling watches to people who are interested, not to people to just want to make it a show to their friends and their grandmother.

Even if I get solicited while walking down the street, by a watch seller, I have the dignity of leaving HIM his very own dignity. I do NOT stand in front of him proudly proclaiming " Your watches are all but a fake" . I would tell him "leave me alone, I do not need a watch", and let him go after his business . .. I strongly doubt if you call them off in the correct manner, insisting you are not interested in his offers, they will stop insisting to sell you a watch and keep walking on, no matter if the fri....g watch is fake or not.

just say no, in a polite and comitted manner. Stop insulting them or calling them scammers of a million of fake watches.

You spit against the wind, you get spat yourself.

You don't think attempted murder is a slight over-reaction to a lost sale??????

stopwatch....I've never seen one last nearly that long. Maybe the Russian guy was rude, maybe not, but stabbing someone is a bit CRAZY in response and a sure way to stifle any return business !

Chalerm assured us it would be sorted once and for all when he was Labour Minister....though he might have said that just after happy hour at the parliament bar.

Hahaha.....The TV wits are in fine form ..hilarious thread.

Is this for real ? Surely it must be joke !

Too many officials interested in one thing only. I remember a story in the Bangkok Post in 1998 about the BTS having to settle for using three carriages per train rather than the original plan to have five because so many officials had taken their slice of the budget as it made its way through the various levels of government.

Another Gin and Sonic thanks barman.

I like that Prayut actually talks about these things. Most leaders don't.

Another bigoted clown ready to rejoin to the circus.

Yeah he only shags over 18 year olds.

RIP Babe. As unpretentious as you were gorgeous. Responsible for untold juvenile erections !

If he doesn't like what they're saying then he could just refute what they say with a coherent rebuttal. Or he could say naughty children go to your room until I say you can come out.

Job half done. Follow the money !

Shame on you prison authorities. I have heard this story many times. No medical treatment available and no one in power gives a damn.

As Talking Heads sang..We're on the road to nowhere.

Holier than thou Nazis. Sure smoking is bad for your health, but overly restrictive laws aren't that good for your well being either.

Holy crap ! That's the fully Monty !!

Maybe you should appoint some qualified people who can explain what you mean by 'national digital economy'.
