Smiles Aplenty As Long As Money Is Flowing In The Right Direction

This to me is becoming very evident in every facet of life here.

That's a fact of life evident almost anywhere.

That's a fact of life evident almost anywhere.

Perhaps he's talking specifically about newbie farang guys who are all convinced that they're "hansum man" and smile at every Thai girl they meet.

I like money... I also smile when it flows my way. Working long hours is the downside.

I think the smiles would stop regardless of where you are if the money stopped.

[britgent]

All the above is spot on.

I must admit to openly laughing in the face of anyone offering to let me buy land in their name!

[Payboy]

Trick is to keep the money flowing only as long as the smiles are in your direction.

In every facet of life everywhere, wouldn't you say?

I mean, I doubt anybody with money on deposit in a Cypriot bank is smiling now that up to 10% of their savings are flowing to their government, right?

[Songhua]

As long as I'm smiling because I got what I wanted by giving someone my money, they can smile as much as they like. It's a win-win.

I wouldn't expect anybody's going to pay me to drink their beer or ride their taxi.

Well the smiles are flowing towards the wife this week as her sister gave her 100,000 baht and tomorrow she is buying me a new pair of trousers
