My credit card was stolen few days before (my wife had it and she was robbed in Hua Hin with all the others cards) and i needed 3-4 days to get the money in full, they...

Re: Thai govt pledges to reduce crime by 20% in 6 months

If they remove 20% of the cameras they will record 20% less of the crimes. That's mean less crimes in the statistics ! Thanks who ? You are welcome.

Re: 2 tier pricing for Thais

I'm not really aware of the red shirt and yellow shirt story Yes I see that. You really need to educate yourself. Ignorance is probably where your Ladyboy argument come from and your falling out with the Market Village tech guy. I've managed to not fall out with anybody in 6 years. :| The market vi...

Re: 2 tier pricing for Thais

Because they are tourists, they are on vacation, they profit from roads, from mosquitos and everything Thailand has to offer for FREE. Tourists are not paying any tax in Thailand, they should pay more, that's all. Don't mater if they are white or not, a tourist should pay more. With the misere all a...

Re: 2 tier pricing for Thais

Thais also go to your/my country and get discriminated against and exploited because of where they come from in the form of their salary, despite doing exactly the same job as you or me. Not to mention exploited in terms of general welfare and working conditions. Really? I am aware of exploitation ...

Re: 2 tier pricing for Thais

If the answer is yes just walk away as i do. No matter why they are charging more for farangs, if it's yes i'm not going to pay. I could understand if they charge for tourists as we do in France, but a charge for the color of your skin is not fair. If they charge double price for any tourist, thai o...

Re: Which hospital for an x-ray ?

Went to hua hin hospital, bill 599 bahts for the x-ray, medication and nurse service but had to wait 2 hours. I have an infection but not broken, they gave me antibiotics. If you need urgent care don't go there, if you are not dying it's ok if you can afford to wait 2 hours. An x-ray it's an x-ray a...
