No, F***ing hate it!

I've never found any decent socks. They are one of the things I load up when I'm out of Thailand.

If you get visitors who ask "is there anything I can bring?"

[mizzi39]

I have had a big problem in the sock department. The cheapos that Big C and Tesco sell make my feet sweat and they last about 2 weeks before wearing out. The best socks I have found here are made by "Arrow". 295 baht for 3 pair and well worth the money.

[gazzasore]

Were do you buy them Mizzi?

[MJP]

Okay it was in Roi-Et, but a market vendor just inside Tesco Lotus was doing 5 pairs for 100 Baht. Really good quality, I've got size 11 (UK) feet.

Just need to keep an eye out and when you do find them stock right up.

Most plaza's have a licensed "Arrow" cloths department along with Levi's etc... .

As I retired in May this year and my normal attire is shirt, shorts and jandals I have great difficulty in understanding both work and socks.

Could someone please enlighten me?

He is a Kiwi. I spent 30 years in NZ but now Oz. In Oz they are thongs. Sandal type thing with a strap that goes between the toes and back over each side of the foot, nothing else. Very comfortable but can cause problems when running at high speed or when wet. :-) Also treacherous in mud - I have lost a few in deep mud. Not sure what work means tho'. Been retired for 5 years. Work may be putting out the trash (rubbish) (garbage) etc etc. I'll check the online dictionary

Actually I am a Pom but I have spent my last working year in NZ.

Jandals was one thing I picked up and the other phrase which I found most useful was

Yeah, right

I means many things depending on the context it is used in.

An example

I am a multi-millionaire

Yeah, right

NZ is a beautiful country with more sheep than people, however like Thailand the majority of people are friendly and the food is OK there too.
