Popular Post bbi1 Posted August 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2023 Used to be every Saturday at Big C Extra where students from a hair school were giving free haircuts, right next to the food court. Went today and there's a clothes stall there now. Anyone know if this has been discontinued? This is the one: 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likerdup1 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Great service, especially for some of the less fortunate residents in the area who may not have the funds to pay for a haircut. Sorry if the program has been discontinued. I would bet the school still provides the service .. just somewhere else. check it out!

Pattaya57 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) They still have free haircuts opposite Tukom, I see them all the time (not sure which specific days but I'm thinking Friday?) Edited August 12, 2023 by Pattaya57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NONG CHOK Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 The free haircuts are still available over the road from Tukcom in South Road every Friday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Bones Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Reckon the 'cuts have been on South Pattaya Rd for a long time (apart from covid scare.) Great initiative. But seeing "aliens" getting a free cut while broadcasting to MSM is stretching it????????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives the students experience cutting hair and my hair only takes about 2 mins to do a full head shave with the clippers. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gottfrid Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Amazing how a thread about if they stop give free haircuts, can attract so many foreigners in Thailand. Now I totally understand how much many really struggle to can live up to the requirements to stay and extension of visa. ???????????? How extremely ridiculous! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, now you needed an explanation also, so you made a second comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time do they start and finish on Fridays? Thanks It's on the footpath just before soi Bukhao entrance. About 3 or 4 barber chairs from memory. I saw them around 10ish (not sure start finish time) Edited August 12, 2023 by Pattaya57 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well just go at your convenience to a barber shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are training the students for free so that's enough tip Reminds me of people giving 50 baht tip for a 50 baht beer, ridiculous overpayers ???? (Note I paid 300 baht for my worst haircut ever in May, would have gladly taken a student haircut instead) Edited August 15, 2023 by Pattaya57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
