Strange and annoying things here in land of smiles
Feel like you? No, not at all. I like that sales staff take the time to check that all the contents are in a package before I get home and discover something is missing. Nice to know everything is there. In my experience, they carefully repack the box and reseal it--and I haven't noticed any dirty hands with sales staff. We just bought a new car and when we picked it up we were presented with a large bouquet of fresh flowers. And, an assortment of drinks and snacks in the very nice waiting room while we finished the paperwork. The sales person took all the time in the world to explain the car's new features--which were plenty--and patiently and politely answered all the questions we had. And, yes, they took our photo standing next to the new car with a big red bow on it--I found that to be a very nice and endearing gesture. Buying a new car is a very big deal here for a lot of Thais--and, actually, for my spouse and me, too--and the dealers know this--and let their customers know, too. We left the dealership feeling appreciated, and well cared for. We have also called a number of times with questions that have come up and the salesman has patiently answered them for us, in some cases walking us through several different steps. In the US, they threw the key to me, told me where my new car could be found on the lot, and sent me on my way. Buh bye bye. I like there are lots of staffers when I go to the Big Box stores. Usually we can find one that can assist us with what we are buying--plus checking on a product's supply--plus assisting us in figuring out how much of something we will need, such as floor tile--plus getting something down for us if it's too high to reach--plus running and getting a cart for us if we decide to buy something once we are well into the store--plus if it needs assembly they will do that for us--plus if its a large item they'll carry it to the checkout counter for us and then carry it to our car for us--plus if the item is too big for our car they'll arrange for delivery at no or little charge, and usually in just a day or two--plus--well you get the picture--that's a lot of pluses. Again, try that in the US. -

How did you do it ?
I had the “fortune” to date a beautiful Thai lawyer. Lasted until she ordered me to ditch my late model Ford Ranger and replace it with an upmarket European car to match hers. In other words, about 1 week. -

I'll try that again this trip... In the past, I was never able to check in online to China. My visa is in an old passport, and they usually want to see evidence of onward travel. But I haven't tried it in awhile. I fly to BKK tomorrow and back on Jan 20. I'll pay more attention to the gate announcement board and try to check in online this time. Maybe they've changed... -
