They are still complaining about this, why does Thailand think the world visit this country for, Of course for the cheap fake products, the world already knows about the fake products, but as other postes already said "The government does nothing about it" so why do they care, they say it hurts the countries image, sure it does, but it dont seem to get them off their butt to do anything about it, Gosh, I mean look she said things about china, and japan and their just go along with it, cause they know its true as the world alreadfy knows it too, why does Thailand have to be so hard assed about it

Definite yes. Even Thais who do not drink look good when the Johny Walker BL comes out.

Or...... T-shirts, caps and anything else from your own country with a proper logo - genuine and good quality of course.Cannot be bought here - stands out.

If not, Black Label whiskey,very popular with Thais and if he doesn't drink he can bring it out when he has a party and get brownie points

i live in jomtien so regularly get the bus from pattaya dai to jomtien ,i am sick and tired of listening to the thais that organise the que being rude to farangs ,most farangs as we no are bigger in body than thais and therefore take up more room ,i have persanally witnessed " large " farangs being told to leave the bus because they take up 2 much room ,the poor russian guy was so bewildered ,he had no idea what was going on ,i can speak thai (im english ) fairly well so i got into a heated arguement with the aggresive thai lady and was told farangs take up 2 much room ,off course the thing they cant compute is that probably 70% or more of there customers are farang ,without the farang i suspect they would be struggling but off course this fact is  forgotten if someone takes up a little more than one seat ..........

even if u r a fairly normal size u get pushed/poked and shouted at to move /move/move to create more space ,off couse i fully realise that the more bodies the more money but this is supposed to b the land of smiles,.which of course we all know it isnt ,i really wish pattaya had meter taxis ,i lived in bkok for 2 years and rarely had any problems with taxis ,ok its 35 bht starting price but u go a long way for 70/80 bht ,more importantly the drivers are generally polite ,u r on yr own so no -one trying to steal yr money (which also nearly happened to me last week),u have air con ,no pollution and guess what u actually arrive at the place u want to go ...............i have also lost count of the ammount of times i have been on the bus ,suddenly a few customers get on and the bus just takes off in a totally different direction because they have booked it privately ............also on the jomtien route ive had the bus stop half way along jomtien and tell me to get out because im the only customer and they dont want to go any further !!!

ive been pattaya 4 years now and  i think its fair to say that i hate the bus system

Do you mean baht?    

I cringe when I hear many farangs, especially those farangs who are in business here or are on the radio/television promoting various businesses, mispronounce local Thai place names. These people should really know better.

It's common place to hear them pronouncing Patta-ya as Pat-eye-yah or Par-tay yah! They pronounce Ra-yong as Ray-yong and Jom-tien as Jon-tiem.

As I have said, they really should know better.

My dislike is the assumption from the UK that if you live here it must only be for sex.
I hate that nudge nudge wink wink attitude I have even seen portrayed on national TV in the UK.
It is good for sex but there are also many other plusses to Thailand.
My ex wife will not let my son come here on holiday because of it's reputation here.
I have been in a steady healthy relationship with a Thai lady for three years.
There is plenty of prostitution in West London where my ex wife lives - you can check the small ads in the local paper.
I hate that holier than thou attitude.

It gets to me when you order stuff online and they won't ship certain products to Thailand, not talking anything special either.

People who having nothing better to do than read forums looking for spelling miss-takes!

My pet peave ? People who knew it would be different but want it to be the same as home in some way.

Isn't an anti-barking device the same as an anti=shoe eating device??

I like Holiday Car Rental.  Great guy who owns the company.  I've rented there many times with no problems.

why do inmates have access to internet when other , I didn't say normal, people have to pay for it?
