  1. Whereas the foreigners see it the other way around. The Asian woman often looks in decent shape and probably fairly okay looking, but she is walking with some ogre.
  2. What is available locally, is often the dregs.
  3. Please stop....the point is 500 baht. If a foreigner is unable to afford the surcharge for a hospital in a particular location, he now knows to go to another that does not charge that fee. 500 baht doesn't make it unaffordable to most expats and tourists and it's you, not the other foreigner posting it here and claiming that it is not affordable.
  4. What you mean is that you are not at all discerning. Up to you. Eat as much crud as you like. It's your body.
  5. Or just throw it away and buy real butter. You have perhaps confused that product with the one sold in Australia.
  6. Yes, it is. But not local to you.
  7. They have Westgold 250g in a local supermarket in Thailand for 80 baht. Special offer of course. Half priced allegedly.
  8. Perhaps you failed to understand anything at all. Let's go back. You told an anecdote about a particular hospital that charges foreigners 500 baht. My advice was to avoid that particular hospital if you cannot afford the 500 baht. Is that too difficult for you? It seems that you are just searching for a way to complain about something. Pattaya City Hospital is not the only choice in town. You aren't forced to go there. But if it's the closest to where you live, then you can choose to pay 500 baht for the convenience or simply go further afield. Not everyone lives on Soi Bua Khao. It's not a Thailand thing. It's you. @BritManToo pays 50 baht. I don't remember paying any premium when I chose to visit a government hospital and I rarely go anywhere early in the morning. So the oft spoken untruth about having to go early in the morning and to wait all day, has not ever applied to any of my visits. Good service and not expensive. Some people are prone to making problems for themselves.
  9. But you paid for that with taxes and such. You didn't in Thailand.
  10. So? Is 500 baht too rich for your blood? Is that not affordable? They charge a premium to foreigners. If you cannot afford it, go elsewhere. It's a city centre hospital. Move away from the centre and you won't need to pay a premium. How much to see a doctor in your home country?
  11. You can get the same SIM from MBK if you can get there more easily. Tree Mobile have it. https://www.tree-mobile.com/product/dtac-turbox100
