Re: Discrimination ..is alive and doing well

IMHO it does no good to complain. The only effective course of action is to refuse the goods or services and emphasis the reason. If falangs are not a significant portion of their business they probably won't care what we think or do. Realistically we can probably only make a difference with busines...

Re: que jumpers

I was in Bangkok Bank the other day. Waiting in a que to see the lady at the customer service desk. There was a very long que at the counter for bank transactions. A man walks in with a handful of money, looks at the long transaction que, and walks over to the customer service desk. He hands the mon...

Thailand/Udon Still Sanuk?

I don't know if it is just me, but it seems that there is not much sanuk to be had anymore? In prior times there seemed to be much more of a happy atmosphere. Now all there is to be seen are sour faced people hunched over their beers (including me). Ladies hustling drinks or looking for quick cash i...

No problem with decent respectful farangs that decide to settle in Udon. I don't even have a problem with people that would like to come and have a look as long as they don't damage the farang image or act like millionaires for the short time they are here. The reality is this is a different world ...

Find out what charges your card has on international transactions. Some of them are quite high now. Also try to have more than one card. Those magnetic strips seem to fail at the most inopportune times.

Keep the prices going up until behaviour is changed and alternative energy development is ramped up. We don't want all of our money going where it is at this time.

Thought it was interesting how the farang was portrayed as dim witted and fearful. Only became a hero after the local people figured out how to motivate him. Nevertheless was better than some.

It is still not clear to me why there is less fraud from airport ticket sales using credit cards. I am assuming they allow credit card purchases at the airpot. My simplistic mind thinks there is more checking that can be done when the purchase is over the internet for a future departure. Identificat...
