  1. Sounds like a naked magician. But what if he won't disappear? Women and children are almost always around.
  2. Sorry to say, but they could be. I've seen foreigners, fully consciously, tipping 1k for something that was actually like 150 THB or so.
  3. If I would visit there, I would pay what they ask. If you're living somewhere almost longer than you've lived in your native country, and still need to pay the extra 'few measly THB' and singled out from your family, group of friends etc, you've to understand that that's bs
  4. Racist, yes, because my Asian (non Thai) friends can get in for the Thai price. If not racist, it's discrimination. However, I do understand to ask tourists a certain price. But I've been living here for 10+ years and able to read Thai. Plenty of times I've seen things such as: คนไทย๑๐บาท Foreigners 200 THB Tourists who don't know any Thai will just pay, but if you point it out in Thai and still get to hear to pay the foreign price, it's a smack in the face after so much effort from some people to be just like everyone else in Thailand. + expats also pay income tax. Last time I've read that the airport arrival tax is for everyone except who can prove to have lived here with a wp. Why not in these cases of national parks etc?
  5. Sometimes there's double pricing on food too. I'll watch someone filming herself eating on YouTube. It's not the same experience.
  6. Idea is good, however, it should be, the longer you stay, the closer it will get to the Thai price.
  7. How long are you living here? It's not about the money. It's about people who live here for about 10+ years, who have a family and all, then being singled out and made pay more. That's just ridiculous. Tourists, whatever, but expats should just pay like the Thai, or well, maybe at least a discount compared to the tourist prices. Easy to check, just show a wp.
  8. It's clear that FF already utterly destroyed them in this election. Almost the whole map was orange. So, good luck to them explaining how Thailand is democratic.
  9. Honking your horn is just a way of saying, look out, I'm here too. Weirdly enough people see it as being aggressive. It's weird though how motorcyclists here think that having your blinker on to turn left, actually means: Wow, how kind, he'll let me pass on the left! So many times I've experienced this. I'm just driving closer and closer to the sidewalk to make less and less space for them, sometimes I just turn left instantly. They always turn their head, looking at me as if I'm crazy, but my blinkers were on for about 20 seconds or so. Motorcyclists should maybe just get a tougher exam before they may go on the road.
  10. Completely agree with everything else, but this part will probably get you arrested ????
  11. Good timing from the current government, if they accept this. It's right before the election, so they probably are making sure no one will vote for any of them anymore.
  12. Was thinking about having my gf start a business maybe. That will be registered by the same name. Won't be looked in? I assume that even though it's much easier in the long run, I probably still have to give them the same amount of paperwork if not more. I'd like to do it the honest way, but not aure if they'll make the WP thing a problem???? They mostly don't, because, if I remember it right, they make less than 120,000 per year and therefore don't have to file taxes on that. Same here, but well... Lately you are seeing more and more about foreigners taking work away from Thai people and them stressing that you only may work the job that's in your WP. I really love Thailand, but sometimes immigration gives me unnecessary headaches. ????????
