What If...?

Featured Replies

We are all here for one reason or the other.

I assume that no expat had been sent here against his/her will. Thus we like being here, yet...

Please discuss: What if you had unlimited power to change this country to the better - what would you do?

N.B. Remember, we are all guests here and be frank but polite!biggrin.png

Force everybody to speak English and call it (tropical) England!

This should be interesting! smile.png

not another thread about this .

you will find most will want what they had back home.

I personally would like to see the police do their job . When you get law and order in a country it changes for the better

OP's who don't give posters a certain framework to answer within!!whistling.gif

"Remember we are all guests here". I am not a guest here, I live here!

Thats right but I know plenty who are living here with the arse out of their rompers that will not go home because there will be a welcoming comittee waiting as soon as they step off that plane

I would ban the sealing of plastic bags with those goddamn rubber bands!

Wouldn't change a thing.

Awesome reply!! I've nearly lost my eye three times over those sodding things, and spilt numerous bags of assorted (allegedly) edible crap over the floor 'cause I used my teeth on the other end.

I would get rid of all other farang men, this would leave me as the sole "hansum man" mfr_closed1.gif

I think I would explain the concept of pavements to the Thais.

It seems to have passed them by. sad.png

Must be school holiday time again...rolleyes.gif

But to answer your question... I would make it illegal for farang males over the age of 55 from marrying Thai women..

I would have crack downs on everything

and I would make Thailand a world hub of something or other..

any tourist who is was considered medically obsese would not be allowed a visa and would require an IQ test for all others

Wouldn't change a thing.

Hear, hear.

Don't get me wrong; quite a few things irk me but, IMO, learning to deal with and/or ignore minor annoyances is best regarded as an opportunity to develop and better oneself.

The Thais will get there in their own sweet time.

The trick is to not unwrap them.

Simply cut the cut the corner off the bottom of the bag ... or if it's the sauce bag then just snip the corner off.

Solved the problem for me ... I watched what the Thais did.

.

I would just change the exchange rate.

1 US Dollar = 1000 Baht

1 Pound = 1000 Baht

You get the idea.

If this was the case, everything else wouldn't matter. Example, no helmet....200 Baht fine. No problem, here's 200, plus have another 200 for some beer. No worries.

Must agree with both posters above ... it's a perfect imperfection.

I like it's quirks, it's idiosyncrasies.

And yes .. Thais will get there in their own sweet time ... thumbsup.gif

I'd make the Thai Visa search function easier to use

Sorry, mate. Didn't see any. I'm a newbie, but this is a poor excuse.

Sorry once again. Had I wanted what I had back home - I wouldn't be here.

Leave the cops where they are. They are happy. I am happy to be my own self. They deserve a medal "For not Interfering". More fun this way.biggrin.png

I don't want to change Thailand, I just want to take my money at the top of the curve.

I'd have Thai electricians retrained to our standards.

I'd get rid of that time in the arvo when you can't buy booze. It gets me everytime and it's dumb.

Easier more welcoming health system and visas, like my country gave my wife.

Those ladies selling wooden frogs, gone for sure. Rude pos.

Same prices for Thais and falang, none of this ours and them pricing crap.

....to be continued.

"Remember we are all guests here". I am not a guest here, I live here!

If you are Thai, I apologize.

If you are a Farang who lives here for X years - we all think we live here...tongue.png

Golly, sergeant. I got barely enuf brane energy to keep from fallin' over.

I believe I'll use those limited brain cells to ponder things I can do something about. That's pretty much limited to my own behavior.

(Did you get the Gomer Pyle reference?)

Since a Thai smile has numerous meanings, all smiles, by law, must be followed up with an explanation. As in, "...of course I'm a man; did you really think a woman can perform fellatio this awsome?"

Is that anecdotal or do you have more to tell? w00t.gif
