  1. Nice post. Pattaya not Patts. There is no such place as Patts anywhere. And you might like to know that the word Pattaya in Thai language has a specific meaning and is easily translated to English with specific meaning. Just the first few letters 'pat' has meaning. It means 'wind'. Show some respect for other countries and their language.
  2. I recall an incident, some years back, when 7/11 stores sold 'tup up' cards formobile phones (any mobile phones). I was in a packed 7/11 just a few shops away from an Israelie gueshouse. Several Israelies walked in, saw the stand with the te. top up cards, grabbed several and pushed their way to the front of the customers waitint to pay, with abrupt loud questions: 'Is this compatible with xxxx service in Israel and what are the hertz' etc, and 'is the voice loud' and 'how many minutes' and more, all the time talking over the conversations between shop staff and the customer being served at the time. the questions (aboVE) were being repeated, the shop staff saying 'just a moment please' and nothing more because their English skills were basically zero. Then a voice from the back of the waiting customers speaking another language, got quict atention from the boys asking the questions. The voice from the back also asking 'does anybody speak Thai and English?' The voice from the back then spoke loud an agressively in Isareli, and repeted his comments in English. 'This is Thailand, the staff don't speak English, ad none of them have any advanced knowledge about these telephone cards ad if you read the card (the English writing) it will answer your questions. This achieved nothing the rude abrupt Israelis just kept talking over the conversationsbetwen the shop staff and customers. Then another farang spoke up 'I understand your language. Why doyou seak so abruptly and so demanding, the other man has already told you the staff here are not experts about telephones and have no knowedge whatever about service providers in other countries. The rude / abrupt questions to the staff, holding tel cards in their faces, even intimidating them, continued until the original farang who spoke up said loudly 'I will call the police', this got an instant reaction from a questioner 'no, call the Israeli embassy, the Thai police cannot tell me what to do.' A 7/11 supervisor wth a security guard arrived quickly and totally cleared the store and locked the door.
  3. You have to guess: one in LOS, 1 international
  4. Boots on the ground. I wonder how the general US public will eact to that? And how that will affect his wish to receive a peace prize?
  5. Nice comment. If you mean netanyahu I hope he receives a missile between his eyes very soon with deadly result.
  6. I haven't eatean that many McD brugers. Here in CM my grand daughters discovered a burget king less then 2 k from our house so they ordered online, pork, beef and fish burgers. All three got 5 stars from whole family (and toddler grand son got 6 stars for mess) for taste, texture, perceived freshness, fast delivery time. Now twice a week my arm is twisted by all 4 grandkids for all 3 above online.
  7. OIC, so buddhist / islam people and activities an example. Sometimes not raising problems and sometimes some local even serious problems.
  8. Thank you. What is protestant / caholic sectarianism?
