So what is a foreigner supposed to do when receiving a wai from a store clerk or some other "junior"?

Wai back, ignore them, or flip them the bird?

This is your idea of humor?

I was also going to post a whinge about my credit card being stolen by someone in the Thai postal service, but hey TiT. We chose to live in a poverty-stricken country so no point having a cry when they steal “rich man” mail. It’s to be expected....

I did not choose to live in a poverty stricken country where you can expect your mail to be stolen. I chose to live in "the land of smiles", where people are friendly, honest, helpful, and welcoming. At least that's what I was told by the experts who write "best places" books, the TAT, and even the posters on TVF.

The reality turned out to be much different.

These bullshit stories have been circulating for decades.

YUCK

Sounds like a fun game. Hey, I've got another one...it's called Russian roulette. Give it a try, kids.

Those kids look pretty well behaved without being beaten. In the US they'd be running all over the room in a frenzy.

Aren't you glad you asked?

The other part is, lying is a national sport here that everyone practices and it means almost nothing to tell a lie versus the truth - saving face is everything.

These words should be engraved on a plaque, and displayed in the arrival area at the airport.

It took a while, but they got my missing mail problem straightened out.

I forgot to mention that it was Inepto Cracy who pointed me to this solution.

Many thanks to him!

What a stupid question riddled with stupid answers. As if geography has anything to do it.

Thailand doesn't need any more pork. We need US BEEF!

As Daffy D said, this works when mounted to your dashboard. Available from Lazada and Amazon.

What a horribly grim scene.

BTW, the victims were not "two lads". One was a girl.

"Hate" would be too strong a word.

"Disenchanted" would be more accurate.

colinneil is correct. 50/50 split is not guaranteed. Thai law always favors the Thai whether it be divorce, death, or anything.

The charts make perfect sense. And since True's stock includes all their ventures, and is at it's lowest point in a year, ( actually 5 years) it appears their eventual failure is imminent. They get no sympathy from me.

Very well said, Pib.

For me, it was the January dropping of their best channels and replacing them with worthless, moldy oldies that pushed me over the edge. If I hadn't gotten out before the 7% price increase, I would have gone ballistic. I also resented the censorship, the subtitles and overlay ads on all corners of the screen. Add to that, the General's 45 minute interruptions in the middle of a movie, and I found myself asking, "Why am I paying for this?" The answer was, 7 years ago when I signed up, there were no other options.

But now there are many IPTV options that are far superior to True, even with the hiccups you mentioned. I now have Pulse TV, and am mostly pleased with it, although it's a bit heavy on the British content. But at half the price of True's Gold Package, I can't complain.

If True cares at all about their foreign viewers (which seems doubtful) they need to make major changes to their programming, pricing, and customer service before everyone goes looking for better alternatives.

PIB: Congratulations on becoming "True free". Walk proud.

 This country is shameful and needs a total reform starting with mandatory education beyond grade 4, and job opportunities that pay more than 300 baht per day. Child traffickers should receive the most severe sentencing possible. I don't care if "it's always been this way". It's time to clean the toilet.
