DrTuner Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Maybe flashing the pink id card would've magically made the difference. Looks all official and handily has your birthday on it. Since acquiring one I've flashed it to everything from a soi dog to a navy soldier and seem to get an accepting response every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeahSiam Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 27 minutes ago, Bangkok Barry said: Not really. The skytrain in Bangkok offers the same racist policy of offering a discount to pensioners outside peak hours, but only for Thais. In contrast, the MRT offers a 50 percent discount to ALL pensioners all the time. I wrote to BTS asking how they justified their dual pricing and of course received no reply because they can't. They simply do it because dual pricing is sanctioned at the very highest level in Thailand by the government operating it at National Parks. Sets a fine example, doesn't it. And let's not have the 'But Thais pay taxes' nonsense. Every foreigner working in Thailand pays taxes, and in fact every foreigner in Thailand working or not pays VAT. The BTS probably places greater importance on looking after their own elderly folk than helping relatively wealthy farang pensioners save a few pennies.

DKNY77 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 What happened is the Thai staff heard you refer to your wife as '' wifey'' and were so disgusted at hearing a grown man speak like a cross between an imbecile and a five year old child they wanted nothing to do with you.

jay1980 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I wonder if the approxmately 99.7 % of Thai people who were not born on the 5th December feel about this promotion? after all they are also being discriminated against on the baises of the day they were born Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAMHERE Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 23 hours ago, BudRight said: There are frequent threads about Thais being racist against black people. You're just saying that it's fine. It is fine, their country after all; plus it is their centuries old culture. If I was the waitress I'd of given her the pizza but spit on it in the back room. The OP got off lucky, as bad as the pizza may be the cooking and delivery to the table could really ruin your day. I visited Rome one day, the little thieves at the collisium only pick pocketed falang and they weren't even Thai. Go figure, huh. The aliens wouldn't be racist I bet, maybe anti-huminoid ?

The world has grown to be far to PC which is why some countries are the mess they are. In the US businesses reserve the right to not serve anybody for any reason. Same applies here it seems. If the guy was a foreigner they do not want to honor it, pack up your stuff and go elsewhere, way better Pizza places to eat anyway. Its really quite simple. But NOOOOOO. People gotta pull out the racist card hoping the world will all just sing "Kumbaya". Oh dear. This has nothing at all to do with being PC. Let's go through it one more time, for the kiddies; being PC is not the same as being polite or treating everyone the same way. All Pizza Company had to do was make this offer open to everyone. Can you think of a logical reason why they didn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to be a pro baseball player but I can't hit a fastball... and a basketball hoop is too tall - - it discriminates against people under 6'4" - - Can we just get on with life here? Good quote from Tiger Woods; " Ice Hockey is a sport for white men. Basketball is a sport for black men. Golf is a sport for white men dressed up like black pimps." Tried the wrong sport?
