People have the ubiquitous plastic lunchboxes but I have never seen such a thing in a Japanese home. Everything served on innumerable small dishes. The washing up is a pain in the arse.

Part of it is probably just laziness. If it takes the slightest bit of extra effort that deliver as part of the day's work easier to simply dispose of "farang" mail. I'll bet there is a drainage culvert in ChiangMai stuffed chock of greeting cards and personal letters.

People are told this but I have never met anyone who was actually knocked back. Some on the OG subforums said it happened.

Dear kannot,

As some time has passed since you did the road repairs, could you now prove to us (graphic evidence required) that your repairs remain in good order and that you do in fact do a better job than the local Tambon Administration Organization twonks.

Ill try to get some photos today but I have also been accused of stealing water..............do you want this latest episode?...........and guess who says Im stealing water despite having my own 4000 lit and hour and 6000 lit an hour (2 wells).................yes our good friend the orbortor.

The Head of the village and the Police guy who comes here have been telling him to "piss off" in the nicest of "Thai ways" but theyve made it clear to us they dont support him in ANY way.

The guys a total w^anker" and neither head of village or Policeman like him.....on the take on the make and bone idle..............

Yes in his mind you are stealing the very lifeblood of the nation, water resources. Heard it before "Farang borehole no can haaaave! Illegal!" What a joke.

Funny! Reminds me of when A mate wanted me to go skiing with him an a rainy day with high winds. I told him I'd rather stand in a cold shower in my ski clothes tearing up 10,000 Yen notes then change and go to lunch.

Do not get into a physical altercation with a Thai

Do not purchase a home to be registered in a womans name.

Do not open a business.

I see heaps of good edible food left on the plates at the mall food courts.

Have a scrounge at it and save on lunch! You'll soon be the talk of Chiang Mai.

I have used the card to avoid huge queues .

Good you note it as a character flaw. I had a layover with one of these guys in Tokyo a few years back, a large American insisting on shoving his way through crowds. He told me clearly he walks fast and people need to get out of "MY way". He bragged a out being a "bull in a china shop". He repeated this phrase several times "bull in a china shop" before I gave him pfft and made some excuse to ditch him. Next day I let him know one of the things Japanese find rude is talking loudly on (trains and elevators) and that everyone would appreciate conversations could be suspended for just a a few seconds.

" I don't give a (expletive)"

I saw a situation recently where some tourists were almost killed whilst crossing legally and the lady said in a heavy Singapore "singlish" accent "It's a Zebra Crossing". Nobody cares here.

The worst travesty I saw is one of the "villages" near Suwannaphumi with small hotels and restaurants. Long pavements (sidewalks) of interlocking brick pavers placed on a bed of nothing more than loose sand. Of course soon became a impassable irregular morass of irregular bricks like a boulder field!

Are there no civil engineers, or is it not better to do it improperly then get another contract to build it again?

I love the "forbidden 10 years" translation.

Lek: Who cares! He can pay.

Many warnings given but how many have actually been knocked back for "coming too many times"?

So whats actually going on with the Trial here of these vile snakes?

Please prove me wrong on this thread and Avoid the typical descent into subtle bigotry, Eurocentrism, or overt racism.

A non-immigrant visa for finance (K-1) would not be appropriate if already legally married.

They should have applied for the immigrant visa for Spouse for ( Ir-1, Cr-1, K-3 or whatever).

Don't know if a change of status is still possible but 20 years ago they were quite easy depending on Nationality at the discretion

of US Immigration.

Some of these scumbags dressed in rags are millionaires who flew in on business jets.

I'm happy to say good riddance to bad rubbish but corruption has yet to be eliminated. The cops (on the take) know what is going on.

The ED Visa has long gone the way of pfft.

As so many of the students are actually dive masters, operators of dodgy businesses through Thai nominees, "English" teachers, musicians, yoga gurus, and all other manner of illegal foreign workers. Some of them I consider friends but justify the suspiscion which weighs heavily on all of us who exist legally and are constantly challenged to prove a negative. (That one does not work illegally in Thailand).

Thailand Elite will be fielding many queries of interest in the upcoming days and weeks.

There is nothing such as "gay marriage". There is only equality before the law or discrimination.

Those shoes are naff but are those EMILIO PUCCI trousers?

Also no short sleeves is just plain silly, even immigration officers wear short sleeves.

Shall we humor them and ask them to go and get changed ?

Sorry, 'missed that. Where did anyone/anything say no short-sleeved shirts?? I DID see one member saying he chose not to wear a short-sleeved shirt in order to conceal his tats.

Short sleeve collared business shirts, polos, and uniforms shirts are entirely respectable. Whatever they got that scumbag for the suspect appears properly dressed.

(Sign says no short top,shows something with clingy short sleeves with low decline. I think for ladies)
