Well, in almost every fast food shop in Germany it was common that the Mayonaise or Ketchup on the fries were 30 cent on top... 

But 2 GBP is a bit odd isn't it?

On the other hand in Pattaya Darkside I was watching customers having a cheap breakfast with lots of cold meats, eggs, bread and rolls for 169 baht. 

The owner to please his customers, imported a special Mustard brand in tubes and there were customers that went through a half tube for one breakfast.

The waitress could later take a yellow plate from the table, but these customers took it as their right to take as much they want. 

To charge these greedy selfish customers came right away in my mind, considering standart European Mustard is already 170 baht a 200 gram glass/tube..

Was that you,  I was talking to in pattaya last week

at that gogo bar on beach road.

I was living 2002 - 2020 in Pattaya but in the beach road gogo bars and walking street I must have been less than 20 times. 

Only when I had to bring out a customer for a job interview or if friends came for vacation. 

I used to have my beers in Pattaya Darkside... until I moved to Isaan

Psst, it's  

SECRET!

The old line tradition was that each party designated a friend to negotiate the dowry and that way there was no conflict w/the family... 

The Bridesmoney (Dowry) was a negotiation in front of our dinner and a beer after a day sugar cane harvest... 

No special event or announced with drums and trumpets.. 

2002 I asked my wife to pay the respect to father (widow) and we had from day one a tight bond because he was former Thai Reconnaisance and I was German Seal. 

Within one year he was my father and I his only son..

Luckily, money was never standing between us.

LOL, my wife to that time 35 years old, was the oldest of 4 girls.

Father: "she is an old bone, you can have her and the dowry is upto you!"

Me: "Ok dad, the dowry is 300k and after the wedding you give me 100k back"

Father laughing: "Why so much, you are anyway the long whished son I get, when you marry her." 

Me: "You raised her to a good wife, strong and hard working woman!"

Father: "for 200k you can have the youngest daughter Pi, she is only 21 years"

Me: "She is too young for me, I love Sr"

Father looking to the other Family members and loughed loud: "He must be blind!"

My wife:

"Ok, the dowry is seddled, I put the money on my Book bank and pay father small amounts as he needs, otherwise he and uncle will pickle themselves in Lao Khao until the money is gone."

Later I found out that most real and traditional Thai dowry negotiations are like that... 

hence:

1 Million dictated from the Familily is just the beginning of the iceberg, I fear he loves and marries a barrel without bottom..

The parens really seem to be "pro farang"

NO KEEPER!

You are dead .... zero function ever again ....   that's it .....    there is NO afterlife.

C'mon @steven100 be gentle, there is an "afterlife" or more likely "life after I giving up my ghost"... 

I told my wife to cremate my body and then dig my ashes in the soil of our farm.

As soon done plant a tree on top which can benefit from the fertilizer.

As the tree grows stronger I hope I have done my share and somebody still alive benefits from it by harvesting a fruit or two more... 

That is what I see as "afterlife" or realists may call it "bio recylcing"

This guy sells crayfish

Toon and Leigh are breeding red claws but quite pricey. 

I contacted the breeder in Bangkok and in Surin, they sell to way more reasonable prices.

For adding fresh blood I might consider porpeangfarm but with a very limited amount...

LSD etc have been known for centuries to induce spiritual experiences. 

Some guys like Timothy Leary or some Doctors and Professors in the Duke's Universtity in Durham did a lot of research about... 

The normal brain in operation is about 20% activated, but under influence of LSD, Psylocibin or Ayahuasca it increases to 80%-90%...

During your "Trip" you can reach a lot more informations hidden inside (memories, learned stuff and so on) and if you keep it going, you actually open too much "windows" at once and eventually all stuff taken out doesn't find its way back into the previous "storage" cell. 

Result:

"Tilt, Game Over! Ya, stuck on a Trip, turned into a proper fruitcake now and the shrink needs at least 1 year to get you back on the track.

Often with minor leftover damages like having sometimes the sudden need to pick Daisy Flowers under the Table in a street café "

Sorry, its not spiritual. It's just your brain with a few more fuses blown... 

you find them everywhere in the world...

I had to dig about 50 lbs of cat poop between a garbage skip full of rubbish, in one of my apartments.

Lucky that these cu*ts had no money to escape too far and so I had 2 scums, who renovated me 4 more Apartments for free to avoid "enforced overstay"...

English translation?

higher level thinking than you do.. That's basically all.. 

Falling and falling is always the thin line between:

- UUUUUaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh, SPLAT!

and

-SPLAT, UUUUUUUUaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!

Everyone is his own fortune's blacksmith..

Some forge a stone table in Thailand with their luck and others a wealthy life at his pool, or like me at my own fishing lake...

But I need luck not to drown in it, when the biggest fish in my life is hooked. 

Till now i wasn't lucky to catch it..

That's life, isn't it?

I've also considered flying in with it as carry-on luggage

Here you go.

No drama at all, beside they might consider you a hippie with a stash of drugs in the guitar bag... 

Oh, the guitar will not fit in the overhead compartments, hence you put it to your luggage and let the cargo staff deal with it, they usually throw it not further that 4 meters... 

Maybe you could declare that this guitar has a high "symbolic" value for you and it has only a bootsale value...

A cool receipt from a 2nd hand shop could help too... 

Do we not all put a bet on the wrong horse from time to time? ????

Without "Khon Afliccaaahhhh" this article would have never made the news - me thinks! 

Wrong, not long ago they took out a few Thais using the same trick... 

Pity is that compared to Nigerian prisons the Thai Prison looks a holiday place alike..

Wouldn't bother him to hang off for a decade...
