#5133548 Korat I M M & Farangs

Posted soihok on 2012-03-14 13:53:40

I had some very funny looks from a Farang in immigration last week, just as was on my 6th beer.

I got fed up so mon aime came to pick me up in his pickup. Got picked up right outside the door whilst had more beers. Fantastique!

I hate it when people call me Village Farang.  I mean really, who do they think they are?

Maybe of help but I bought a chest freezer recently at Macro store, Burirum, they had several sizes to choose from. So check out closest Macro. Cost about 10, 000 baht.

Toyota Australia have just announced 350 job losses at their manufacturing plant here; high Aussie dollar, falling sales. Didn't mention other countries charge 200 % import duties crushing any chance of export. Meanwhile a vehicle produced in Thailand could be exported to Australia with nothing like that kind of duty charged.

Life is unfair, so what.
You want same same both ways.
Oz come to Thailand no need visa. The reverse is not true.
You still want same same both ways?
There`s a world of difference between being able to come to Thailand for 30 days and losing your job because of another country`s blatant protectionism. At the end of the day Thailand needs to collect punitive import taxes to avoid their home industries going under in the face of superior European and American products because if Thais could purchase a Mini Cooper for the same price as a Toyota Camry I know what I`d put my money on them parking on the driveway. Thai exporters are already bleating about the minimum wage doubling. If they had to pay the same duties as foreign exporters Thailand would go belly up in a week and revert to an agrarian society.
There`s a world of difference?
So Thai people should be treated as 3rd class citizen of the world?
Just like the little black lawyer got thrown off the train in Pietermaritzburg station, South Africa.

When has anyone treated Thai people like third class citizens? Many other countries have to apply for a visa to Western countries. We are not singling your country out. Once you have the visa, you are generally left alone.

Could you say the same as Thailand amd how it treats its 'guests'? We deal with 90 day reporting, re-applying for a new visa every single year, even if you've worked for the same company for years, no autromatic right of re-entry without a permit, etc. Don't get me started about double pricing.

By the way, 'same same' is actually 'same as', yes, one thing is for sure, you're definitely a Thai, nationalistic and you use those fuc_king two words as if they mean something. Also, not to be anal about your use of English, but 'Oz' refers to the country and not the people, so next time please use the phrase 'Australian people'.

Have a nice day!

You guys are hardcore. The stupid kid has done 8 years in a god awful place that tends to turn people into a mess of silly. Let him serve out his time in his home country where some real rehabilitation can take place. Good luck stupid, don't do it again.Posted Image
