  1. The kids in question, the ones wearing the headscarf in France , those "immigrants" quite probably WERE born in France and there Parents may have been born in France and even some of their Grand parents may have been born in France . Immigrants to Thailand can indeed get Thai citizenship , although Thailand isn't a Country that has encouraged immigration from abroad, like Western Countries have dome
  2. Not too different to the Taliban/Iran forcing girls to wear the headscarf's . Its both telling girls what they have to wear . The West is supposed to be tolerant
  3. Dinner includes a genuine haggis and fried mars bar , a lecture on how bad the English are and something that happened 300 years ago and a video of Scotland winning the World cup in 1967
  4. The point that I was making was that should people have the freedom to wear what they want to or not , the discussion had moved on slightly from the topic of this story .
  5. The National Association for the advancement of coloured people group are seeking monetary damages from Trump because of the Capitol hill protest , they seek "monetary relief to address the harm the protest caused them . It didn't say how much money they think that they deserve
  6. Isn't that back when living on a dollar a day was the target ?
  7. The photo is from 100 years ago and the locals to Loch Ness have been living off the "Nessie" tourist attraction ever since then . The loch has been completely searched and there's no monster there , its a myth
  8. I am stating that it is a fact, fell free to prove me wrong .
  9. Yes, but Thais often call any outlet that sells food as being a restaurant , 40 Baht Pad Thai shops after often called restaurants .
  10. What sort of place would you like some info about ? High end restaurants or cheap street food style places ? Narrow you question down a bit and be more specific . Five star restaurants or restaurants with cockroaches on the wall ?
  11. I was asking her what sort of eating establishment she is enquiring about . Is she asking about proper restaurants (in the western sense) or Restaurants (in a Thai sense) which are Cafes . Does she mean a restaurant or a fast food join , is the question I am asking her
  12. Gecko bar on a Sunday night was quite good , 220 Baht last time I went , starts 6 PM , all the good foods usually gone by 7 though
  13. I am asking her, please let her answer herself, thanks .
  14. You seem to be mistaken, the O.P isn't a "He" Does that effect the invite offer ?
  15. Are you inviting the O.P around to your house for a meal ?
  16. Yes, that has always been my point . There are Western style restaurants which are called restaurants and a restaurant in Thailand is any shop which sells food . Is she asking about a restaurant in the Western sense of the word, or a restaurant in the Thai sense of the word ?
  17. Yes, I recently had to pay 1200 Baht to bring 20 kilos of luggage on a flight , some people who are 20 kilos overweight should pay extra as well
  18. This restaurant does great plain chicken and rice two course meal for 40 Baht , first course is chicken soup
  19. The S.F cinema city food Court has a rather nice shrimp Pad Thai for 50 Baht , well worth a visit
  20. (Stop with all this "BS" all just talk normally, thanks) I do know what the word restaurant means, you don't need to give me a dictionary description . "Restaurant" has a different meaning in Thailand as it does back in the West , like a Fish and Chip shop wouldnt be referred to as a Restaurant back in the West , whilst a 50 Baht chicken and rice shop in Thailand is often referred to as "going to a restaurant" Did She ask about proper restaurants where its 400 Baht for Pad Thai , or just cheap food outlets where its 40 Baht for Pad Thai ?
  21. Are you doing the same in Thailand ? Have you forfeiting your own Western culture and fully immersed yourself in Thai Culture ? Speaking and reading fluent Thai and Wai ing at appropriate times , always smiling and driving like lunatic ? Have you fully immersed yourself in Thai culture ?
  22. What do you regard as being a restaurant ? A restaurant in the West is usually a plush restaurant with waiter service and open in the evening and quite expensive and a restaurant in Thailand can just be a shop selling chicken and rice
  23. The negative aspect of those books is that every back packer ends up going to the same few places , the same few guest houses were full of people with the Lonely Planet book and you could often find better places elsewhere , same goes with restaurants . There were quite a few backpackers who wouldn't stay in any place or eat anywhere else, unless it was recommended in the L.P
  24. Change my example to the headscarf in question then , the French school girls should be allowed to wear the headscarf (in question) in school classes
  25. Thailand is your Country now and Thai Schools do not have Nativity plays . King Charles is head of ALL faiths and not just one Faith and BTW , Nativity plays in the UK have NOT been banned
