Are you implying that some jewelry shop owners in Thailand are not honest .... ?

I never would have guessed .....

In any country .... if a house is considered a drug haven or suspected of manufacturing or possessing illegal substances the police will come knocking.

Can be Thailand or France or Australia.

In most normal countries, not without a search warrant. Otherwise their case will fall apart due to illegal entry.

and you don't think they will put together a search warrant a couple of days later ? all they need is a signature ....

35 ... sex and piss

they must have been real good buddies .....

you need to kill as many as you can. They carry Zika virus and Dengue fever so kill them all ....

just pay it and be happy ! .... you want to cause an issue for that amount ??? don't think that will go down well !!

What is a problem drinker ..... does the OP have a problem with problem drinkers ? .....

some knucklehead ...... they should have shot him ....

We praise Khun Prayuth Chan ocha the general and PM for his astounding deliverance speech at the ASEAN-US Summit.

He is what's needed to get Thailand back up and running, prosperity and revive the economy.

He has delivered his speech on border control and regional security issues of concern. Today he will talk on ‘Protecting Peace, Prosperity and Security in the Asia-Pacific,’ .....

The fact you are gay has nothing to do with visa exempt / stamp on entry into Singapore or Hong Kong.

They may ask to shown funds by means of a bank statement but I doubt it. They may ask to show an onward ticket but I doubt it.

Your assumptions are highly unlikely, I have been to Singapore and Hong Kong many times and never had a problem .... and we both had a fantastic time ..

sweet potato ....

shopping can be dangerous in Thailand ......

reliable and Thailand are not two words I would put together ........

They can be aggressive and they can bite. Keep away from them and always have a rock or a stick or something in case one wants to have a go at you.

They are a pest.

you won't find a decent guy on TV.... come to think of it ..... not sure where you find decent guy's !!

So you are saying I'm not decent?

no .... your decent ! lol .... it's more a tongue in cheek comment

They play the same games in Korea and Japan, yet don't hear of this sort of crap from them. What this does show (once more) is total unwillingness (or even the idea of) taking responsibility for one's actions. Always blame some other factor. Like kid who kills parents and begs judge "Have mercy on me. I'm an orphan"

That's correct. And it's because kids in Japan and Korea are much smarter than Thai kids and understand responsibility & what's right from wrong !

I wonder what they would get up to after a couple of hours of Donkey Kong?

that could be interesting !

Their are two traits that cause this type of thinking and attitude.

Boredom ... and lack of Parental control.

Bored kids look for trouble ..... busy kids don't. Strict parents with authority on the kid means he will be responsible. Parents who couldn't careless will have kids who don't understand responsibility.

They already know what sells and what doesn't sell. If Indian curry sauces were a good product they would be on the shelf.

I know one brand they don't stock anymore is 'Prakitrat' or some name like that, it was in the purple packets .... I tried it a couple of times and it was quite good, however obviously there's not a big enough market for them so they have been taken out ....

Go into the store and speak to the management, they maybe able to give you their contact for sales & marketing who should know what you need to do.

This is Thailand where Thai is the official language. I don't see western people speaking Thai for Thais when they travel abroad.

English is the most common used international language. If you want to succeed in the developing world you must speak english. Whether it be banking, tourism, retail, industrial or resource sectors, english is the used in more countries than any other language and as such Thai's should follow suit if they want to move forward.

I use to only get pissed every second day ..... until I found TV ... now I get pissed every day

I work on the assumption that the Air Traffic Controllers in Thailand are as professional as the Royal Thai Police, The Justice System, The immigration Department, The Bus Companies, the Railways Department etc. etc.

I mean really, why should we assume the ATC people are any better? Or the pilots come to that.

So I never fly on a Thai air company. I always fly Emirates and whenever entering or leaving Thai air space, I'm shitting bricks, re-reading the safety card, and timing my run to the closest exit.

In most other countries I sleep through the landings and take-offs.

sorry to hear about your condition .... I wish you well and hope you can get appropriate treatment.

90% of Thai's don't speak or understand a word of english.

I have always said unless Thai's are forced to learn english by their employers & school ... they will inevitably be taken over by Vietnam as the preferred destination for business and holidays.

pencil bush I think.

edit : sorry, just seen Worgeodie's post.
