Salapoo Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Don't worry OP, i'm sure there'll be a thai move into such a business right around tomorrow. Though of course with ketchup and rat meat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 There was a falang outside Big C HomePro Hang Dong selling what looked like the same stuff. Was a few months back & he wore a mouth mask Nice guy said hi etc. But I remember thinking I wonder how he is doing that stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salapoo Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I mean honestly, what did he think was going to happen?? A nice foreigner doing what he enjoyed and making a bit of money in front of Thais! How dare he! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdietz Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 At least they didn't discover a stack of dog skulls buried nearby as opposed to Real Thai Meatball factories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugocnx Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I know someone who hates kebab etc. mostly meaning the people behind it. Racist yes. Must be the one that betrayed him. But then again he hates everything in Thailand besides himself. Get a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highonthai Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Unfortunate, But he was blatantly breaking the law. He should of just hired a Thai to staff the cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Pity they don't arrest some of the Thais selling disgusting kebabs around Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 There was a French guy running a noodle stand with his Thai wife in Yaowarat, Bangkok, who let himself get photographed and written up in the Bkk Post. Wonder if he's still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoli Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 there is no life long fight to prevent crime. it is a life long fight to prevent people not paying bribes. You complain if they enforce the law, you complain if they don't enforce the law. Oh, I get it. You just like to complain. Job well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobraSnakeNecktie Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I tried his kebabs a few months ago The chicken was crazy dry. Okay I could have drowned in mayo and ketchup but I think maybe that is not his calling in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yoslim Posted June 12, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2013 A Thai got jealous he was making money selling good food instead of the sub par garbage he is selling.. no surprise at all 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payboy Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 ^^Should've added some sugar to those kebabs to ward of evil spirits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcliffe Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 He was there again last night, so he obviously paid the right people. Don't worry he's back in business! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salapoo Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) ^ Great stuff. Let's hope the second method used the by jealous Somchai isn't some whiskey and a few K baht to someone with a homemade machete. Business in Thailand can be dangerous, especially out in the open among competing Thais. Edited June 15, 2013 by Salapoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoodMaiDai Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 He was there again last night, so he obviously paid the right people. Don't worry he's back in business! Yes, I saw him as well. He's back as if nothing happened. As stated above, hopefully a Thai wasn't planning on moving in on his turf or I fear his next "problem" will be a bad one.

Salapoo Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yup, a wronged Thai doesn't like his smart-ass move backfiring, especially against a farang doing something illegal in his country. Is it really worth it to sell a few dozen 50b kebabs everynight? Good on the lad, but i'd be bowing out graciously, or at the very least putting a Thai in charge of sales.

ovenman Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Any chance that the arrest was a mistake and the reason the kebab guy is back on the streets hawking his wares is that somehow his paperwork is actually in order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 would be kind of funny if we did a falang flash mob deal & all lined up to buy Kebab's at a certain agreed time Would kind of drive his detractor insane I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
