Apple iPad, list price 499€, Dixons €479, Duty Free Amsterdam € 484.... booze, sigs and perfume, the latter when on special offer, are cheaper than highstreet prices.

Reminds me of the beggar guy in Asok sittings late at night, back in 2004!!!, picking up his mobile phone. I was shocked. Since then never donated a Satang.

How stupid am I.....

 

There I was thinking my BMW , Mercedes Benz, 1.5 million dollar share portfolio, and 300k a year job was enough to show the parents I had the stability to support their daughter.

Exactly! And that is my ongoing discussion I currently have with my mature GF. No way that I will show a single Satang on a wedding party, if ever any. Any if daddy needs a show up for the family and neighbours, I have no problem if he shows up his own money on the plate. Thai culture with first world benefits, my ass!

Saying good morning is not engaging in a conversation just manners really 

Your manners maybe. But why should I say good morning to every Falang I pass in a shopping mall. Get a life. Possibly living too long in the isolated country side with nearest supermarket miles away. My greetings to strangers are just to the one's need to get in contact with, taxi driver, waitress, receptionist, bartender etc.

Spoke to a guy on a visa trip yesterday, has said his friend did a Singapore trip and flew back the same day, at DM he was refused entry

 

Sorry no idea of his past history

All the way to Singapore? Wow! I think Penang or KL is the quickest and cheapest option there is.
