Look at his nick name... he was obviously dreaming... forgot to tell us about the concept he was dreaming of Shame they don't do paper lanterns fuelled by a petrol candle on the banks of Lake Geneva too. Maybe it's down to the weather? Maybe it's because Northern Europe struggles with the Thai in the same way that the US or the French didn't have a clue about IndoChina. Educated comments appreciated.

Educated comments appreciated. I'm tired of farangs blaming the Isaan woman for taking his money. There is no demographic, nor gender imbalance to mans inhumanity to man/woman, or the blame game, or the belief that a woman has power over a man, no matter how they justify their actions. They wander blindly into their own IaDrang Valley or Dien Ben Phu and then blame everybody else for their poor choice, without acceptance that they themselves are at fault.

MEGALITHIC Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Translating UP 2 YOU: In almost all cases where a farang is dealing with a Thai, UP 2 YOU is never actually "up to you." If you are haggling over a purchase, "up to you" is just an initiation point and nothing more. The Thai vendor/seller knows his/her lowest acceptable price and won't go lower than that so "up to you" is not "up to you," it's up to the vendor/seller. If a Thai lady tells you it's "up to you" be assured, once again, it's never up to you. A bar girl operates the same way as a vendor/seller does; she has her required price. If the punter offers a fee which is lower than what she wants she will quickly inform you of this. If you offer a fee which is higher than she expects, she will quickly agree on this. If your Thai wife, or girlfriend, says "up to you" be assured that it is never "up to you." It is a veiled threat that you will suffer the consequences if you decide that it's "up to you." Therefore, you can see, it's never UP 2 YOU. Edited October 25, 2011 by MEGALITHIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotime Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Pretty self explanatory ... no ? Not really. It depends on the person. Some believe it, some don't. Some don't care or react to it. Some laugh when they hear it. Sometimes, it means "Your Move." It's like "forget about it." Sometimes it just means "up to you."

You can take responsibility or you can abdicate reason, like the saying goes, uptoyou Thanks for this post Mossfinn. I'm happy in IndoChina. Not happy in the office in London. And I'm definitely not happy with helicopter gunships. I love the sound of a tractor in the morning. Up to me I guess. Let's hope the floods don't too much harm to life in the City of Angels.

If I was a TV moderator I might judge this 'off topic'. Happy to play cards with you KeyserSoze01 for some R&R. You'd probably win. Regards.
