meatboy Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Read and understand letters of passion from the person you last had a long meaningful overnight relationship with before fulfilling requests............ The oldies are the goodies Chris Some years ago I told my wife about the 'sick buffalo' stories emanating from assorted BKK bars. Some weeks later we're out for a walk when we came across the local 'buffalo chap' moving his charges to a fresh mud patch. A conversation ensued after which my good lady suggested he would rent us a young buffalo, deliver same to Soi Cowboy and take it into a bar for 'Noi' (substitute random bar name) as a replacement from 'Peter' for the one that had died. Never actually had the nerve to do it but I can imagine the looks One for a Thai version of Candid Camera perhaps? what about, io,lek,tom,pim,mam,suzy wong bar [1986] soi cowboy they used to have a buffalo wake every night.

Seastallion Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Buying sugar cane sticks from the mahoot to feed an elephant. Being a passenger in my then GF's car while she drove at 140 kph, overtaking a "slow" car, while texting on her phone. Being a passenger in my then GF's brother's Vigo as he drove from Uttaradit to Mae Sot trying to break the land speed record. Staying in a posh hotel when the local "manshun" has everything I need at one fifth the cost. Wai'ing with my hands too high. Forgetting to say "krap" when appropriate. (It's embarrassing to be unintentionally impolite). Taking a motorcycle taxi in a busy city. Glad I still have my kneecaps, and my life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post geriatrickid Posted February 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2014 Never go to a "cabaret" show Not go to a "popular" venue like Fantasea in phuket Tell a girlfriend your family's status and who you really are. (Not lie, but no need to say oh my father was XXXX because they won't realize dads in the west aren't like dads in Thailand and don't usually buy their sons an expensive home especially if they aren't thrilled with son being in Thailand) Go out to eat/drink with a new acquaintance Thai who says, oh by the way my friends will join us. It's not like at home, and you will get the bill for everyone. Don't be polite and eat street food that looks iffy because you want to be polite Don't let a shop tout touch you Don't talk to the motorbike real estate touts Don't talk to friendly Thais who come out of nowhere on Silom. Don't eat KFC. (You'll regret it once the greases starts dissolving in your gut) Don't buy frozen food at Tescos and think it will be ok after the short walk home. Don't feel guilty if you don't buy bar workers a drink Be careful in your lies: E.g. to a bar girl who won't leave you alone, don't say, sorry I'm gay, because invariably there is a gay guy that works in that bar and he will be there within minutes hovering and giggling. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4evermaat Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 - Shop at Pantip for computers and accessories. - buy a sim card at a non-authorized retailer (mom/pop shop) - Use ATMs, when you can use AEON ATMs without the 150 baht fee** In some cases, you can also go inside a bank branch and do a counter withdraw (counter cash advance). To be fair, I'll probably visit Pantip again sometime, but only if I am in the area. FortuneTown IT Mall is much cleaner and less likely to be cheated or have to have guard up as a foreigner. ** As of Feb 2014, Aeon now enforces the 150 baht atm fee on their atms. Counter withdrawals are hit/miss, even if they have the machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thongkorn Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Read and understand letters of passion from the person you last had a long meaningful overnight relationship with before fulfilling requests............ Dear Tilac, I love and miss you so much. Now I have big pomprem. I tell you before that my buffalo me sick. Now it die. Fall down dead in middle of rice field. but, when it fall, it land on Papa and break him leg in three places. Now he not work. Brother me make stretcher from bamboo he take from loof of house. Now roof collapse and rain get in house. Brother she take Papa to hospital on motocycle. She have accident coming home. Run into police car. Brother me to blame. Police say we have to pay big money. Motocycle OK. Police car no good. Now give Mama have heart pomprem. Doctor say she need triple bypass. I not understand what is, he say you know. If you not help me I have to go with many, many farang to pay bill. The old people in my village in Roi-et say it all your fault. If you give me money to buy medicine for sick buffalo when I ask you, then it not die, Papa not break leg, house still have loof, brother not ride into police car and Mama not have heart pomprem. Please send for me 200,000 baht for my bank. Papa fix: 10,000, new loof:30,000, New police car 100,000: Mama fix:50,000. I take off 2,000 bht for sell buffalo meat, but have to pay more hospital bill for 24 people have pomprem eat no good meat - 12,000bht. I not know money England but my friend me say it about 54.4564 baht to GBP. This mean you send me 7,419.1227 English money. Big money for me, little money for you. I love you too much long time.

wym Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Never, ever tell them you're from the Isle of Man, there are reports of 'misunderstandings' Please explain, like I'm five, just don't get the joke. using a tuk tuk is the best you can come up with? btw a tuk tuk is a pretty dam_n fine way to get back from the market with a few bags of groceries. im 18 years in thailand and i do it a couple times a week. Yes, just like the comment about bar girls, it isn't so much that there is this list of things NOT to do, just that when you've really settled in and lived here for a while, you learn how to do it right, ducking into a bj bar for a quickie at lunchtime that costs less than your sandwich is certainly smarter than trying to get the office girl to the st hotel. Same with a a tuk tuk, stupid to use them for wandering around Bangkok in traffic or being "shown the sights" that way, but when you know how to get them cheaper than a taxi, and in some contexts it's also faster. . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
