Ok lets explore your bar stool remarks...in the case of the impending 10 years retirement visa, please explain how immigration have their fingers in the pie in this instance ? You can forget your stupid barstool remarks for a start, I have never drank alcohol in my life, there is corruption everywhere in Thailand, and if you think there is not in government places, then you sure are deluded.

Just because you dont drink doesnt mean you dont frequent bars and sit on the provided barstools. Not debating the existance or not of corrpution in Thailand, as with most other countries there is corruption i asked a very specifc question and still waiting for your factual specific answer not pie in the sky rhetoric and flim flammery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thais may jump queues on other Thais but probably less so if they perceive that status of the Thai ahead of them to be higher than them. That's what I'm getting at. Foreigners ... low status. Can abuse without consequence. This is a picture of my queue jumping activation kit. Inserting it between the feet at just the right time results in the person falling over but they will do nothing as I'm disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgusting attempting to possibly injure some one and then using your disability as an excuse...you should be ashamed of yourself, so you would have no objections if i kicked your walking stick from out under you ?

AlexRich Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 You were correct not to buy. But you should also have told him why, very politely, in front of the fat queue jumper. I only give business to those those that serve me well, and thankfully most Thai people in shops are pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notmyself Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 How many times have I fallen on the deck due to someone barging in front of me, over the years? 100 time? 150? Somewhere in between I imagine. I'm never in that much of a hurry and will often just give up my place because I can or because someone is in a hurry for some reason or they have a child or are themselves infirm or because they ask or they are a polite person. When they barge past me and put me in a position of danger then I will reply. It is called being civilized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deepinthailand Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Who cares a little wait doesn't hurt of the western culture of queuing and getting your tackle in a knot when someone jumps it. TIT no queues just ask louder than the other peoplem now if you want to get humpty dumpy about queue jumping next time you go to immigration take a number as they call a number and no one moves to counter just go to counter say hi smile and sit down. Works every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am of the opinion that the average Thai doesnt give a rats ass about farangs, they just dont appear on their radar, but if thinking they are jealous of you and that makes you feel better about yourself, keep telling yourself that I Excellent!!!

Q jumping is something Thai people do,were you in a hurry, you never got your Papaya,and the seller is not going to change just because you walked away,this is Thailand,not the West. regards worgeordie I think waiting your turn is a good habit that prevents confrontation, if it doesn't happen to be part of the local culture perhaps it is something they can learn. I see it occasionally here but never thought it too bad. Russians used to do it a lot in supermarket queues too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitkof Island Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 They tend to always be the old fat porkers that never smile. You want to avoid them if they themselves have a restaurant or shop. You are about to get screwed over. I agree it is the shop owners fault for allowing it. At 7/11 for example i just drop whatever i have on the floor and walk off and never return. If possible i just push them away from the front and hold my arms out so they can,t get in front of me and shout (Farang Gone!) as loud as i can. There is one shop for example that does not allow others to jump in front of me and reminds the Thais that the foreigner was before you. Bangkok Thais tend to be the worst and rudest with everything. Park in the middle of a busy road to run into a 7/11 or even have dinner, park just a few feet away from your front door so near you can not exit. A restaurant is full and there is one open table where you are sitting. You offer them to sit at the same table and they refuse. So i sit and eat as slow as possible and have a nice ten or twenty minute rest after my meal and make them suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha ha do you honestly think after spitting out ones dummy and walking away. The stall holder is going to remember you or indeed give a rats poo that you walked away in the first place. Not a hope just do as others do you will get served then. Edited January 16, 2017 by Deepinthailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said anything about spitting the dummy? Rudeness never gets us anywhere in Thailand. Walk away calmly. If there is anything other than perfect service on the second attempt, walk away and never return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
