Things that surprise you in Thailand

[Harrisfan]

1. Book prices. CM had new books for 250 to 300 baht. Same books in Udon double the price or more.

 

2. Farangs dating 2s and 3s. Why bother? Date 5+ or borrow from library.

 

3. How polite Thais are even though all you did was give them 65 baht.

Total rubbish topic.

There really should be a way to ignore an entire thread on AN.  It surprises me that there isn’t.

Their patience.👍

My first surprise was …

In some Thai and wider Southeast Asian cultures, a long pinky fingernail, particularly on the left hand, is a common practice. Additionally, it's believed to bring good luck and fortune, with the belief that extending the nail beyond the second joint of the ring finger is especially auspicious according to some Asian cultures. Some people also grow the nail as a practical tool for tasks like cleaning ears or noses.

Another surprise , i just recently found after being here over a decade !

Issan people  rummage through cow manure looking for maggots to eat!

You mention his name at least 10 times a day just in the pub, where it doesn’t even belong, and that’s not counting the 100+ times a day you spam it across the rest of the site. Totally obsessed, Susan. You should take your cheap, rented pickup, park it under a nice shady tree, and try to figure out what it’s like to actually have a life.

Of course it’s a fake topic, it always is with him. But beyond that, it’s just worthless drivel with zero substance, crafted purely to bait for clicks. He’s a troll desperate for any scrap of attention. I’ll give him this though: his mind-numbing babble is painful, but still a bit less excruciating than those blurry, crooked photos of Thailand he keeps flooding the forum with, each one completely lacking a point of interest, or the pitiful snaps he posts of the sad slop he calls meals that look like rejects from a Khao San Road budget hostel buffet.

Everyone loves Trump because he's rich and powerful.

It probably has one computer for it's touring simulator and another to post on here.

It was interesting that it's so called 4x4 hire vehicle photo was taken in the parking basement of a Hotel/condo/mall and not out on the road!

It will probably claim that it can do so as it also hires a chauffeur and valet for it's trips.

A 2 and 3 will get you the same long term visa as a 5+.

 

Some of the guys here married a Thai bird for visa purposes. 

The guys under 50 year old who wanted to stay in Thailand long term, married the first chick they came across. 

Also the married guys over 50 years old only required to have 400k baht not the 800k baht in the bank
