Some fairly similar ones in this list: they even have names apparently: Yim thang nam taa: The “I’m so happy I’m crying” smile. Yim thak thaai: The “polite” smile for someone you barely know. Yim cheun chom: The “I admire you” smile. Fuen Yim: The stiff smile, also known as the “I should laugh at the joke though it’s not funny” Smile. Yim mee lessanai: The smile which masks something wicked in your mind. Yim yaw: The teasing, or “I told you so” smile. Yim yae-yae: The “I know things look pretty bad but there’s no point in crying over spilt milk” smile. Yim sao: The sad smile. Yim haeng: The dry smile, also known as the “I know I owe you the money but I don’t have it” smile. Yim thak thaan: The “I disagree with you” smile, also known as the “You can go ahead and propose it but your idea’s no good” smile. Yim cheua-cheuan: The “I am the winner” smile, the smile given to a losing competitor. Yim soo: “smiling in the face of an impossible struggle” smile. I assume 'yim' means smile, but I stand happy to be corrected.

It varies with the type of smile and situation. And I acknowledge that I don't know enough to interpret it most of the time so I can't answer your question. But fake it is not. It's telling you something if you are able to read the signal. Thais most certainly can.

It ain't fake, it's a signal.

I can confirm own experience: amorolfine and vinegar soaks. The latter also helpful with athlete's foot gave a turbo boost to clotrimazole powder.

Clutch. Cluster. Curse.

Money I suppose.

But surely nowadays you only get a visa if you've shown means of support (bank statements the last 3 months etc ...)?

An average 40 posts a day since you joined lends weight to your claim of being bored ???? But I don't know either, sorry.

Ludicrous.

I went to Lop Buri on a day trip from Ayutthaya on my third day ever in Thailand in 2003. Easy to reach by train for a pittance. Interesting and historically important palace, very 'Thai'. And of course the monkeys. Thought it was a gas. Why not if you're in Ayuthaya?

Cheaper innit ...

So they're cowards as well as all the other unsavory characteristics one could reasonably label them with. But then again we already knew all that.

I'd have worn that badge with pride ????

And anyway it's the electoral college tumor embedded in the system that decides, not the voters.. Which is why the loser of the election can still be selected as president. Like Trump in 2016.

Quite. It's silly season in industry parlance. In the northern hemisphere anyway.

You forgot mysogyny, sexual abuse and defamation. And pure downright hatred of the nice things in life like decency, love, forgiveness, tolerance, civic responsibility, paying your bills ....

It wasn't grammar. It was vocabulary and comprehension.

I hope that poor girl gets the special support she needs after an experience like that.

Suffolk County police beg to disagree: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jul/15/long-island-gilgo-beach-serial-killer-arrest-massapequa-park-reaction If ASEAN is your main source of info you may suffer from what is known as confirmation bias. Just saying. Unfortunately the whole world is rife with this kind of thing on a mind boggling scale.

From dreams of riches and grandeur to a cubby hole in a ramshackle clubhouse. A bit like Saddam Hussein's career trajectory.

Cheese wire across the road.

555 ... and he's just left ....

You certainly won't find the keyboard heroes who write such trash on the streets in places like Minsk or Moscow, much less Bangkok that's for sure.

They're all volunteers not victims.

They are clearly losers.
