And I wonder if it even makes much of a difference. In my village some people connected to one candidate entered each house offering 200 THB if people would vote their candidate. Seems many people are ok with that offer and otherwise don't care much who gets in office. My GF told me every candidate has their own area of voters (e.g. the candidate in our area isn't allowed to bribe people in another candidate's area - every candidate his own home turf). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This drives me crazy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This drives me crazy. Agree with this one, never seen so many with what appears to be a total lack of ability in judging speed and distance ! Or perhaps they just dont care ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As witness the month it took me to train my GF to use her rear vision mirrors, because her driving instructor certainly didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen kids riding their bikes at night holding their phones as lights. That's perhaps what iPhones are actually good for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, when they passing from opposite, they give a light signal....huh??? We learn we have to give free way, and have to wait until it is free to passing. Today I got this experience, but he got my middlefinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This drives me crazy. I just undertake them then slow right down back in front of them, some even flash their lights but like them i stay impervious and dawdle on.

Not to mention that you can't get into the aisle anyway because it's blocked by stock and stockers stocking the shelves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 You come home and the SIL - who does not even live there - decided that the trees need pruning. The one by the gate was full of beautiful yellow flowers. It is now a stump with about 7 spindly branches on it - not the almost 8 meters of shade it provided when you left. Asked why - now you don't have to do it for 2 years ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that. I used to stock up on Heinz hot dog relish when in Thailand as couldn't get it in England, then they just stopped stocking it. My pet peeve on the skytrain was the oafs trying to board before those wanting to exit could do so. In the end I just stood there in the door and let them bounce off me till they stood aside and let me off ( I'm rather bigger than a normal Thai so I could block quite well ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
