ExpatOilWorker Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 At the Airport: It is great to see that most of the security scanner operators are girls in their mid twenties. Girl that age have amazing multitasking talents and can easy gossip with their friends, play on their mobile and watch the security scanner screen. The scanners was bought at a fair and transparent market price, so I am sure there is plenty of budget left for training and upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpatOilWorker Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Mobile phone owner: It is great that Thailand delay 3G service and wait for something even faster to be invented. Since no operator is upgrading the current network a 50% dropped call rate is a small price to pay and I can just travel to nearby countries like Laos or Cambodia if I want to test any 3G functions on my phone.

maidu Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thai gov't "Because Thais are able to purchase property in their names and start businesses in farang countries, we will enable farang to purchase properties in their names in Thailand." Thai gov't: "Because Thaksin had no Thai passport for awhile, and he currently has multiple foreign passports (illegal in Thailand), he was therefore a farang and illegally owned property in Thailand." Thai Immigration heads: "Because of the byzantine knot of rules for visas, we've decided to simplify the whole can of worms. Visas will now be easier to obtain, though they will cost a bit more." ASEAN: "traveling within SE Asia will now only need one ASEAN visa stamp." ASEAN: "We now have a common currency for SE Asian countries." ASEAN: "For this fifth bridge connecting SE Asian countries, we will come up with a name other than 'Friendship Bridge' - perhaps we'll call it 'Harmony Bridge' or 'Brotherhood Bridge.'"

maidu Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Any Thai University student: "I can name the countries bordering Thailand, and at least two cities in each." University hiring staff: "Although you are a handsome and lively farang, you speak English with such an odd accent, that we can't hire you, sorry." University administration to Thai person teaching English: "You are a friendly and likeable person with great credentials, but your English skills and accent are poor. Sorry, but we can't have you as one of our English teachers." Thai: "You farang, you speak Thai only little bit, but you wan teach Thai to farang students at University? Jing (sure), no ploblem."

xthAi76s Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) ANY Thai Salesperson: "Hello, sir. I'll be over here (away from hovering over you constantly, quietly -- NOT announcing every item you touch) if you need me. I don't want to drive you and tons of other customers away out of frustration with my useless hovering. Also, I don't want you to be frustrated when, after hovering over you for 15 minutes, I cannot answer ANY questions about the products beyond the price and available colors." ANY Thai Shoppers: "I am NOT going to dawdle aimlessly around in this supermarket for 1.5 hours, frequently parking my shopping cart perpendicular to the isle merchandise and inconveniencing people, because I know nearly EVERY single item available in here .. as I have been coming here for 10 years already and since nothing has changed during that time." EDIT: ANY Thai Inventory People: "You know, we should pay more attention to our merchandise regularly so we can make sure we have items (especially those that frequently sell out quickly and which we often don't have for long lengths of time) which will likely make our store more profitable."

xthAi76s Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Average pot-bellied Farang 40- - 50-something: "Listen, I know my marriage with this sunburnt, illiterate, loose, obvious former(?) bargirl is not really a respectable one by most standards, and I'm sure anyone in the know could pin me as a former beer guzzling janitor of a Western public school, but I'm going to walk around here and pretend anyway that I'm better than almost everyone around me all time time simply because I seem to be fooling many of them much of the time."

StreetCowboy Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) On TV I'll drop the matter, as I have no taste for endless and futile circular bickering EDIT to be fair, someone is more likely to do it, than say it in all honesty and those that do say it, rarely do, but instead, leave with one last stir of the pot that so often has them coming back for more Edited April 5, 2012 by StreetCowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
