And I'm pretty sure Airport Plaza has the full name Central Airport Plaza.

Why is KSK also known as The Gary Glitter mall? Never heard that.

me too been here years - never heard it - certainly no Thais have ever heard of Gary Glitter so it can only be a stupid farang 'made-up' thing

Have to agree with the above. So you bought a 2000 pound (not dollar as you point out), and took it to songkran in a special waterproof case/housing. And some people aimed at the lens.... What's your point??  Believe it or not, you may not be the only person that can afford a nice camera, and others may be able to recognize waterproof casing for nice equipment. ... If I saw a camera all protected, I would aim for the lens too... It would make for  a great shot, would it not??

As you go out of your way to explain, you have a specially designed cover, so I fail to see your point. What makes you think they were trying to ruin your camera? Perhaps your fear of losing your prize purchase caused you to believe the worst in people.... If so, you should leave it at home...

As for spraying water in the face, that's par for the course in that area, both Thai and farang do the same. At least the 7 years I have been in the city that is the case...

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen....
If i still saw someone with a case over their camera, i still wouldnt shoot at it. Theres a difference between water proof and water resistant. Theres also common sense that even thought the camera is covered there may still be a chance that water gets into it.

The truth of the matter is that they probably just didnt give a shit.

The farangs that come to thailand for sonkran are like wild animals, farangotangs to be exact, and they seem to be breeding out of control. Sometimes i think i need vaccinations before i catch rabid farang disease.


#5175321 Beat The Heat!

At the risk of sounding like the world-weary expat know-it-all in CM, I'll make the following comment.

As a mod, every time this year, like clockwork....I see tempers frayed, and people just totally pissed off about one thing or another on this forum.

Doesn't matter if you live in a teak house, or in a hi-so low rise condo off Nimblehymen.

It is hot, and it will get hotter yet, until the rains. Songkran will ameliorate the stupid heat just a bit, for a week or so.

We just have to hold on for a month or so; all the tourists and snowbirds will vacate, the heavens will open up....and all will be green and serene again in Chiang Mai.

:)

I told the last time in the air for pagan rituals to comthunder hay has to fling skreigh at the sweetheart affix the wave to the crux of the matrix, and suffer along the eastern beings from the western bearings- this after all, is the way for the sloven and prudish to break their frozen pall, and cling to board and seraphin- never having to forfeit ownership of their sand nor hay, lambaste climbings have better looms to fleece.

P.S.:
My doctor titles I have are doctor titles in Philosophy, of a church and university of the United States of America. To use the titles for both of them is absolutely legal in Thailand. In other countries there might be different laws.

I certainly can see where Elektrified is coming from.  On your own website, you have stated on the PDF brochures here:-

http://www.mft-thail.../pdf/pdf_en.pdf

That you are Dr Dirk Weeber-Arayatumsopon.

It may be your legal right to carry that title for philosophy, but if you are a doctor of philosophy, perhaps, you may philosophise that putting your Title "Dr" on your brochures that advertise medical treatments may mislead people to think you are a MEDICAL doctor, not a Philosopher!!

His use of the term Quack may be a bit harsh, but under some dictionary definitions, its not too far off (In that you are misleading customers - intentionally or not) :-

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/quack

You are not a Medical Doctor, so even if its legal - it speaks volumes that you use your Philosophy doctorate in your brochure to preceed your name....  It is misleading....  Semantics about Podiatary, Podology naming etc just proves that the average member of the public does not know the difference.

Its good that you cleared it up in this thread.  May I suggest you take the word Dr off your brochure, so as to perhaps limit people belittling what Im sure is a very real skillset you have there?
