most people in siam paragon are dressed normally. you were either there on some fashion day or you are projecting some sort of insecurity with yourself.

gold in thailand is of low quality.

we always hire a private driver. you see the backpackers in the tuk tuks and its like they want to kill mother earth. very sad.

im hoping they expand their menu. i love their food but i cant eat a taco burrito or nachos every time.

i noticed the thai vendor figured out a way to make their own whipping creme. does anyone know how they do it? the western spray bottles are over priced.

farangprice that is a little too graphic for me personally, i am trying to eat breakfast i dont want to hear about you giving someone sex lessons.

so you are a female Israelite married to a Thai male? That is a cool and interesting combination. In wonder how many total marriages there are of that combination, probably less than 25??

As for the kee niow reference i have been called that by many of the low life parasites in bars in thailand and i answer with a smile that i am not kee niow but kee nok.

did you just insult yourself?

this thread seems to be filled with people speaking based on their own limited experiences and throwing around statistics and things they heard in hotel lobbies or sitting on the runway from other businessman or and coming to conclusions without any facts.

do you think thais are going to be living here or just renting out.

selection of all electronics in bangkok is so lousy its depreasing.

did you have many problems with police back home elk?

No.

Well you commented on not being able to do anything back home without the police bothering you. If you havent had problems with the police back home what is the basis of your statement?

He just likes the nice life here?

What?

Hi,

I listened there are factory of polo lascoste (original) in Thailand. Could u tell me me where can find it and buy some to the cheapest price?

Thx

"Polo" (Ralph Lauren) and "Lacoste" are actually different brands, you realise?

You do realise "Polo" is a style of shirt ie for playing the game of Polo and Ralph Lauren do make them so do many other company's including Lacoste

I agree with the above poster about the quality of Lacoste - Much prefer Ralph Lauren or Brookes Brothers

The RL Polo was the very best when they were made in the USA IMO.Now,they are the same as most of 'em that are made in Asia...crapola.Thin crappy cotton etc...

You get what you pay for.

Im pretty sure its cheaper in America.

whats inside of those bowls?

did you have many problems with police back home elk?

No.

I have noticed that there are many farang in Thailand who believe the following:

Thai women are more feminine than farang women. They are kinder and make better long term partners.

and

Thai men are very bad. They do not treat Thai women fairly. They are selfish and do not make good long term partners.

---

Having these two beliefs seems contradicting to me. If Thai men are so bad, and they make up 50% of Thai society, than why are Thai women so good? Aren't Thai women a product of Thai men, and vice versa?

is stabbing a bartender in an airport really one of those "it could have happened to you"? because i just dont see myself ever getting in that position.

I often wonder if those who are so critical of Thailand, and how they choose to do things, share their obsrervations with Thai neighbours - I suspect that most don't. It seems to me a bit appaling that people can be so ungrateful to a host country. It is probably all smiles and friendly chat in front of a Thai's face but once safely hid behind a computer screen, the disgruntled farang, can tell the world how the Thais are doing it wrong.

These people are quick to point out how the the west does things the proper way in regards to; education, work ethic,health, police ad nauseum, but isn't it strange how these same people continue to live in Thailand. I suppose some people get some type of satisfaction from looking down on their Thai neighbour and being critical.

IMO it's mostly therapeutic. The most common 'tell' is combining all western achievements from the Greeks to Motorola and saying 'where would you be without "us" ?' (somehow implying that he/she is related to Socrates or is a telecoms expat, apparently feeling unwanted or unappreciated), the same way some blacks like to try to take credit for their cultural contribution to music, or as silly as Arabs saying that they should be accepted in whatever society because 'you use Arabic numerals in everyday life,' or the Chinese saying 'where would you be without the magnetic compass or gun powder?,' etc. etc. In other words it's therapy for someone who apparently is questioning his/her own self worth but cannot bear to do so on an individual level, and thus tries to do so on a broader 'team' level.

...'see? that's why I shouldn't have to leave every 90 days, should be able to own land, and why I don't think you should have your 'brother' sleeping over all the time.'

You nailed it.

Maybe if you see them from the side or out of the corner of your eye, but never if you spend more than 10 seconds around them or listen to them speak.

For thousands of years, the majority of men were forced into celibacy.

I have never seen a Thai give out a tip. Usually the more money they have the tighter they are. Of course that's probably how to accumulate money. This is also true of many westerners, the more money they have the tighter they are also.

I have noticed the complete opposite of everything you wrote.

"According to Mr Tsow the proper response to being called kee neeo is to feel good about it because you have really arrived."

Arrived at what?
