I thought you appreciated my deliveries of home-cooked pies and pastries - apparently not!

Pmbkk Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Not been able to get a drink on a "religious" holiday. Or how the Irish bar apparently linked to the Hilton/Central with no walkway can still open, only a few yards away from the main police station in Pattaya when the rest of town is closed.

Getting the EXACT same unasked for lesson from someone who has 20 years in country and is still as dumb as the TEFLer who has only 2 weeks in country. ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would only frustrate you if you owned a bar here and couldn't open the same. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisKC Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Every day I am out on the road either driving my car or my bicycle and after 18 years of living in Thailand there is about the same proportion of those not wearing crash helmets from when I arrived. And yes, I have sat outside in at least six different areas of Thailand and counted (with pencil and paper) for two hours those that have passed me, to arrive at my conclusion. This is a state of affairs that is more than frustrating! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
