The way I understand it, the folks from the N.E are being pragmatic. Yes they know Thaksin was as bent as a 4 pound note, but what choice do they have.
At least TRT did 'something' for them. Where as the new gov are likely to do nothing for them.
The poor are less fickle anywhere you go. In the UK, Labour have sold the working British man down the river in favour of easy immigrant votes. "we let you in! you vote for us, okey dokey."
Toss the poor some crumbs and they will let you have the whole bone.

The Avaitor with leonardo de Craprio.
Anything with Nicholas Cage in it.

Yes, PAYBOY, it's a good job we can't access youtube in Thailand
the Gov made it impossible

This is the email address to the parasite that I am currently messing with. The usual nonsense about transfering money to me. He/she/it was passed to me by a friend and I just sent a short note saying "Praise god that we have met. Please send me all the details blah blah....." and emails have been bouncing back and forth ever since.
Please feel free to send them some messages of interest or sign them up for tons of junk and spam.
Think of it as helping some more muppet who is being taken in by them. If we take up all her time she won't be able to scam some soft sod.

How would you have reacted if the Thai lady was yelling at you?
Not sure what I would have done. Maybe a big show of how sorry I was and then incline my seat by less than centimetre.

Freaks of the world unite. This has happened to me too. I lay awake for days thinking "what have I done?" But it's not just me.
It's an airport. I don't go there for fun. If the spot you depart from is so important, why isn't more written about bus or train stations?

The Op's joke on the Arabs was funny. I spent some time in Malaysia and saw them all over the place. Arrows, not Arabs.
Gave a pal some hay fever tablets and told him they were 'party pills'. As we all were laughing and enjoying ourselves it didn't take him long to act the same. After taking the micky out of him for a while we gave him some real ones.
Drugs are not cool! Don't touch them! We were young and daft.

To be fair I don't agree that queue jumping is all that common in Thailand.
It seems to happen most when the queue jumper decides that his/her request for something quick is more important than those waiting.
The worst are those with money. I hate them. The way they swan about in crappy jewels and huge hair certain they are better than everyone else.
I was in a sandwhich queue in an expensive mall and some hi-so hag swanned past the queue with all of her purchases. I decided to act in a way that would damage her face as much as possible whilst staying true to my manners and view of 'fair'. I stepped out of the queue and tapped her arm and politely said "there is a queue, thats why people are queueing. you must go to the back" she looked at me like filth and swanned off.
The moral is, queue jumpers jump queues because they expect nobody to say something. So say something.

I like to play head games with these parasites also. A favourite is to tell them I have sent some money and demand to know why they haven't replied.
When they ask for your phone number, give them a police stations number. Wind these bas@ards up.

There is no way I will ever put my correct address on anything. Not a bank form or immigration form.
Sod that.

Its 100% a scam and if you thought for a second that it could be true, then you are one of those people that are targeted by Nigerian scammers.
Google: ebolamonkeyman or scambaters

It may work. Somebody somehwere could belive that a degree from 'copycopy' university in Thailand is better than Singapore.
ok ok Im just joking.

SCOTT 69! Face it. You pranged your car and your p@ssed off. Did you expect the manager would open up his safety manual?
1. What to do in case of flood.
2. What to do in case of alien invasion.
3. What to do if a person is found sand papering an alligators nuts.
This is Thailand. Safety is viewed as silly. Just as long as you burnt your joss stick and prayed to some idol or other, you'll be fine.
Where do you suggest shopping? Which place has well trained staff? Do you recall the opening of The Paragon? A girl fell from the 1st floor through a gap in therail. The security guard picked her up and carried her to a back room. I doubt he would have ever heard of a neck brace.
In Thailand you have to cover your own behind. I take note of fire exits in hotels etc.
I agree we are all in danger all of the time.
I might knock a drink onto my computer as I type this and electrocute myself or stoop down to collect the post tomorrow morning, trip over the dog, stumble back and catch my arm on a table, knocking over the knife rack and then get hit by a stray arrow from the archery competition. It happens.

That explains the new white steel frames with pot plants hanging off them next to most bus shelters.
Any extra green is a welcome thing.
-
The men are busy violating their beliefs with all the whisky, ladyboys and pork. Seen Em! The government is aware and wants to extend its control over its people.
Why do you think that there are groups of women shopping alone.
What it is they buy is beyond me. I don't recall seeing black sheets on sale in Emporium.

Same reason why farang ladies spend money on tanning creams/sprays/beds. Fashion.

Sounds like a loon to me. By giving you a hard time, it's unlikely you will change your mind and say "let's make it an even 800, pal."
On the subject of genorosity of embassys, I think you are wrong. The two people you know proberbly had someone at the other end guarentee their passage cost or were able to show an ability and willingness to repay.
If the embassy were to give every rag tag and bob tail a free flight taxpayers would rightly be up in arms.
-
Why do they do this? Is it to check you have arrived in the country? Maybe the passport girl can't be sure!
-
I read 'Damage Done'. It was about an Australian drug smuggler that got caught.
Pretty nasty stuff, but a good read all the same.

Why are things so bad in Washington?

They have their comedy boobs removed and return to looking like men. Proving that it is just a sick fashion and not some kind of gender mix up.
Thai doctors should be more responsible and not be so quick to disfigure young men with mental problems.

I beg to differ, SBK. I have blown nothing up, the point being that a person I know and trust assured me something that I would have heard of happened and I wanted to ask if there was any truth in the matter. Judging by the lack of response it seems to be clearly a mistake on the part of my friend.
So it would appear to be a false report.
The part of the post you quoted was my response to something I disagreed with. This being a forum and all.
And I think I made it very clear in my OP that it may not be true. I think you will agree

NO! Yours?

It's no use trying to have something explained to you if you don't like it.
A person that loves cricket will never convince me that it's not crap.
I love off road biking, but to my friends getting dirty and risking injury is pointless.
