  1. Hi, people!

    I, as a lover of old "Shocking Asia" movie, always look for such places. Do you know them? Pls, share! Of course, most of such things happens during several festivals - vegetarian in Phuket, tattoo fest., fest. of fireballs in Maekong.

    But maybe you know such places, where you can come anytime and see it? I remember only one kind of such places - temples with sitting bodies of monks went to Samadhi. Pls, share other strange plases!

  2. Hello, friends!

    When I was teenager, in my country we had a TV show of funny amateur videos. Almost every month they presented at least 1 video about some guy from Thailand, who do some strange performance. I remember only 2: guy with a very long hair, he can swing kids on his hair. And guy, who make sandwiches with a bread and tech. liquids (like an oil, etc). So I had imagination about Thai people as about very creative and liking to perform. So - let's collect all such performers in this topic.

    I know about only 1: roti maker from Ko Tao. If you will search "roti ko tao" @ Youtube - you will find hundreds of videos with him. He make roti extremely fast.

    Also I know about not performer, but strange man: he sells newspapers at Chiang Mai markets, he has 3 parrots at his bike and he inform people about his service with strange loud voice.

    Pls, share info about other such people here.

  3. Soutpeel: my friend found that stories at Thaivisa and other forums. I'm not an analytics kind of person to spend time and find them, that's why I'm asking here.

    Guys, I don't ask about positive experience. It shows nothing. Some people leave houses opened here for years and claim that there aren't crime in Thailand at all, but we all knows how many cases of robbery here. By the way - some of them still didn't hear about that cases or don't believe to facts.

  4. Hello!

    Heard horrible stories about the scam in the BKK hospital (not sure which branch exactly, suppose BKK Pattaya Hospital). Like a patient got unnecessary heart surgery, another patient came home and realized, that his jawbone was broken by dentist, etc. I personally had bad experience at the BKK PTT branch: they charged me for 4k baht for ear cleaning, I started to bargain - they dropped it to 1700! Then they send me home and gave me outdated antibiotics, so I couldn't recover till my wife noticed, that medicine is outdated and bought same from closest pharmacy shop for cheap.

    So - I recommend my friends to avoid use of this hospital branches. Am I right?

  5. Talk about big and trusted shops. Like http://www.invadeit.co.th/ . Why we have list of shops of electronics, but don't have other shops lists?

    Shop for foreigners - like http://www.invadeit.co.th/ and http://www.goodkarmathailand.com/ . Shop, which has english version (I don't need it at all, but it's a sign, that owners ready to serve foreigners, who can write emails only), good usability and support, who don't run away seeing question from foreigner.
