General Hindrances In Thailand

[DJ Pat]

Mr Pedantic you are my mate!!!

Nobody opens the door and holds it for the person behind....

I agree with you on sitting next to the farang, I have good hygene.

Thais have no sense of personal space, they will get right in yer face when standing next to you...

[Savage]

i've had doors slammed in my face on so many occasions. Warrents verbal abuse!

without shouting!

Trying to get them to multi task is just impossible

[DJ Pat]

Getting asked if I want 'supersize' when I point to the regular size package. There should be a law against that.

[Insight]

Mr Pedantic, excellent post...

Lots summarised by "personal space" and lack of respect of - applies for so many things, from driving on the roads to food stalls on the sois working in an office to the skytrain to queuing (ho ho ho) anywhere...

[DJ Pat]

What about free offers and bargain leaflets that get handed out...farangs aren't allowed to recieve these!!

[Heng]

No Walmarts that sell ammo and guns to anyone with an 'over 18' driver license.

No drive through banking.... in fact, aside from a dozen McDonald's, the general lack of drive through everything.

No catalogue service from J. Crew, LL Bean, or Eddie Bauer.

[DJ Pat]

There are a few drive-thru MacD's in Thailand, not that I go though.

[Som Nam Na]

<QUOTE> the general lack of drive through everything.</quote>

Red traffic lights are drive through

[Crushdepth]

Karaoke, floating discoes and anything else that involves a loudspeaker. Chicks that spend most of the date talking on their mobile ! Arghhh !!!

If Thailand is such a scab, why are you guys still here?

This kind of post is very common and really lame. What is the point?

Completely void of inquiry about ones surroundings.

[Khun Larry]

Keep disagreeing with whatever I post, should anything crap find its way on here that i have written.

differences of opinion are to be expected and there's nothing wrong with that.

Good attitude DJ... wisdom for all

I adore Thais and Thailand but I absolutely abhor people coming around and trying to open the door without knocking, namely the misses' mother, and one or two of her friends.

A friend of the g/f's came around the other day and, unfortunately, the door wasn't locked, and I just happened to be walking in that general direction in my birthday suit - ie, swinging freely. Sounds funny, and it was slightly amusing at the time but there's just a general lack of respect, surely.

The g/f just keeps telling me that's the way it is here. Bad manners if you ask me.

TRY to undarstand that you all is visitors here.

If you want to come here, and learn all the 65 million thei ppl how to act, well i guess you gone wrong.

If you allways want to be the betterwisser, well, simply, go back to you're homecountry, and try to learn them the "thai style"....better?.....right!

Your comment, while correct, is also bit mute since it was his house and he is quite within his rights to dictate peoples behaviour in his own property.

[Darth Bangkok]

when you are on line in a 7-11 (or 7,000 11's as my uncle called them when he came for a visit) and some guy comes in off the street and starts yelling out his order for cigarrettes or a phone card or whatever before he is even in the door.

or when you've been waiting an inordinate amount of time because there is some problem with the customer in front of you, like the cashier is trying to subtract 2 from 10, and they open a new register and proceed to check out the last person on line instead of the people who have been waiting for so long..

I don't understand why you quoted my post. Doesn't matter where in the world you are or what rules you have to live by, customs etc, etc, When you have a place of your own, JUST KNOCK ON THE &lt;removed&gt; DOOR FIRST. It's so basic and doesn't require much brain power to work it out.

Try to lock the door, and buy a door bell.....

I do lock the door - see original post - but it was unlatched this particular time. Not the point, shouldn't even be trying to open it unless they have knocked, can't you grasp that?

I bloody hate that!

Dont you live an open life?

Got something to hide?

Should never sit alone, looking at tv, and chackwao with the door open.

I just love it when someone i dont know is trying to get into my house uninvated, that gives me a good reason to blast off some furious thoughts in my head.

I tell you the easy way out:

When they burst into you're house, grab them by the neck and their arse, and throw them as hard as you can out the door again.

If you're missus trying to say to you that its customs here, tell her that the customs in you're house is simply made by you, and noone else.

Try it! its a blast.....b.t.w. its a long time since someone ever tried to come in my house without first knocking.

That's more like the feedback I was after Viking, I'll give that a go. I'd like nothing more than to throw her Rottweiler of a mother out in the way you suggested. As for the ones I don't know, a good bunch 'o' fives in the chops would be a better alternative I reckon.

Another one to add to the list, although not really a hindrance, bad acting! on TV that is, because all the other con-artists, including naughty bgs who knick your money, are excellent actors.

Hindrances in Thailand - all the farang. Unless you're married to a Thai or are a tourist, you should be booted out.

[Crush]

Why are you browsing this thread ?

Do you regularly browse crap threads?

Seems like the threads you start all fall into that catagory.

Totally boring and useless.

The real characters have all been banned, now the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

At last, a post that makes some sense.
