My view on the so called real world

[Ghostnigel]

One guy gave his views on what he would miss in Thailand now he's in the 'real' world (as he put it)

This my take on the 'real' world.....

Living in the so called 'real' world...

Taxi fares costing £20 for just a few kms,

Paying farang prices IN farangland,

Did i mention the fat ugly birds over 30,

Restaurant prices, with service charges, and poor service,

The season for muck spreading in the countryside...pooo!

Paying overpriced amounts for car servicing, and maintenance, and car tax,

The tap water ain't all that good for you anyway, anywhere,

The lack of english spoken....in England!

Benefit cheats,

Tax dodgers,

Cold callers on the phone 2 or 3 times a day, and door to door salesmen,

The weather, cold winds cutting you in half in the summertime...,

The lack of corrupt police, get a ticket, go on their record,

Parking charges everywhere,

Traffic wardens,

Paying tax on tax on tax,

Council tax,

Planning permission, (time scale)

Dustmen not emptying your bin because its 6 inches away from the kerb,

Television licence, when not using terrestrial tv,

Being in the EU,

Weak government,

Political correctness.......

Not so inclined......

But in truth a lot of the Men in Thailand have nicer features & facial stucture than most of the western women after they get a few years removed from college age....

[CharlieH]

On my last visit, the one that got me was the "extra" charge if you want to sit down or use a table

There was a 20% "surcharge" to use the tables and chairs !!! either inside or set up outside the establishment.

They asked me " eating in or take-out" I asked "does it matter", yes as the surcharge would be applied.

OK - Many of women in the UK & "western" nations (a few years removed from college age) are uglier than most of the populace of Thailand....

If for you ugly -you say IMHO..

its be correct. if not say it will be an insult by sex and ethnic structure of the body lines.

please be correct and polite for another people.

Some Us guy look as 60-70 year old ugly( but say its 50)

I don't believe poster mrpgrahmm is adveritising his sexual preferences, but is simply pointing out that Thai (and I'd add Lao/Cambo) males often have more refined facial features than many western women, and the OP is talking about the UK, so let. And I'm inclined to agree.

IMHO.

OP, Great post.

Doubt it, as VAT is applicable to everything (eat-in/take-out). But some restaurants charge more for eating in than for take-out. Viewed from another angle, people who get a take-out require less service (personnel,crockery, washing up, etc...) hence get it cheaper.
