StreetCowboy Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 A sign on a brothel in Pattaya Soi 6 clearly states "No Running". I think you'll find that's "No running water" SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Western man to guy next to him in the bar: Well, I was a complete failure back home and everybody used to look down on me. Then somebody told me that the average wage in Thailand was about 5k baht a month. So I thought I'd come over here and look down on the locals. Unfortunately I soon realised that the ability to earn more money than a Thai factory worker still put me at the bottom of the pile as an ex-pat (and among many Thais as well). So now I bitch and moan on the Internet and deride everything Thai in a vain attempt to retain some sense of self worth. Hummm... Talking about yourself again!

connda Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Expat at local clinic: Man, the doctor visit cost 200 baht and I got these 6 bags of medicine too. Total cost for the visit -- 500 baht. These doctors and clinics should be charging 20 times that amount. Don't these local doctors know that they could have vacation homes in Tuscany and Switzerland like their American counterparts? All they need to do is bleed the middle class dry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I have misunderstood the nature of this thread. You're the second person to claim I am talking about myself - have I hit a nerve, or are we only allowed to take the p*ss out of Thai people on this thread?

aussiebebe Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Any Thai - This is very noisy, I won't do it now as it's early and people may be still sleeping..... Oh yes!

There are just no laws in Thailand about noise, it's a joke. One of these days I'll find out where to order an RC Jammer from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetCowboy Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Magnificent collection of cliches : Thai people are greedy / they all want to take money of farangs, BLABLAH BORING next I hear that all the time, particularly on this forum. You don't seem to be getting into the spirit of the thread - both the cliches and the ignorant condemnation of the cliches. In fact, I would say that your own thread presented the epitome of such views. Perhaps a magnetic personality like mine should have noticed your irony earlier.

Ok, right turn signal on, look in the rear view mirror, safely merge into the right hand turn lane, slow down for the corner but not so slow as to block the traffic behind me, make the turn with smooth acceleration and back up to speed again.
