Bangkok Barry Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 What things here in Thailand just don't make sense to you? I know, I know. I can probably expect dozens or even hundreds of responses, so here are a couple from me to start off with. 1 - on the tv news, when someone stands there being interviewed surrounded by loads of mics, why do we almost never hear what they are actually saying? The newsreader just keeps going and going. Why do they even bother sending the crews out? 2 - on the skytrain, why can you not buy a single trip ticket except from a machine? There are staff there selling multi-trip tickets and to give change for the ticket machines. So why do you have to queue to get change, and queue again to buy the ticket?

Steph1012 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) Why I have regular conversations similar to this example: ME: - I went to Daves house today. WIFE: Oh yes. ME: Yes, he wants to come over and borrow my bike tomorrow. WIFE: - Who does? ME: - DAVE!!! Edited November 30, 2006 by Steph1012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

November Rain Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Personal taste, obviously, but sweet yoghurt with corn & beans in. Who eats that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 My partner "cooked a pizza" for me. It was a dough with some slices of bologna, pastry frosting, and cooked corn. And why do they test students at school with absurd questions that have four wrong answers or three equally good answers, and everybody passes anyway?

ourmanflint Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Why everyone looks up to people on TV who look European not Thai. Why do all the hi-so Thais want to look European, but then distance themselves from very same. Why oh why is that bint Natalie " Miss world" on TV at all!
