Best post I've read for years sort of sums up Thailand is best ,there is an element of this in every Thai woman most learn to keep their mouth shut and opinions to themselves after a while
i am currently in UK, now we need some work doing in house we live in a pretty remote area, Mrs. Poohy phones me up as shes Bangkok born and bred and ignores most of the locals (country folk you know , we have only lived there 13 years) and does not know who or where where to ask to get things done
