  1. does that mean i should close my ligitimate businesses that i have spent years building here and move because they are implementing these rash new laws...

    Yes,

    If you want things that are not within the laws of Thailand.

    If you are unable to adapt to the changes that take place within Thailand.

    I cannot see any alternative.

    This is not a close minded view, it is just a realistic one.

    The Thai government will not change its policies because a few Farang want to drink a few hours longer.

    What time do the Pubs close in England?

  2. o

    I LOS, she has a power of command. At checkin at the airport, Thai Air have opened check in desks for her (to save her queueing!). Once a passport copntrol clerk came out of the office a took her (and me) through control (from the back of a long line) and checked our passports etc at the little office instead. Took 5 minutes and no queueing. In shops she gets the attention of the sales people without a word. Don't get me wrong, she does not jump queues (like some do - especially at banks and post offices), Thais just seem to home in on her. It embarasses her sometimes. She is not famous. She is not from a well known family. She has never been on TV nor in the newspaper. No one would recognise her photo unless they knew her personally. Wierd. Still, never look a gift horse in the cake-hole!  :D

    She has Wings and a Halo, and plays a Harp rather well too. :o

    Fabulous story.

  3. .

    For example, I am expected to socialise with clients and to entertain them as part of my work and indeed the expection that I am to promote my employer's best intrests - you can call it part of the company marketting. Entertainment is governed by corporate policy and extends to dinners, nights out at art events and events run by the Siam Society among others. My wife and the wives of other members of our staff and of course the wives of our clients attend these events.

    Would you expect (expect not desire) two wives to be received in the same manner if one where educated middle class and the other an uneducated bar girl?

    Perhaps you would.

    But, class, background and education are extremely important. you are fooling yourself if you think otherwise.

    And if your employer married a Bargirl ?

    And if your best customer married a Bargirl ?

    Do you question the Clients wives before you take on a client?

    Maybe your High class wife made a mistake in marrying an employee, she should have married your boss and paymaster.

    Much more social status. :o

    Good luck anyway.

  4. i find this very interesting as the other day on the news they showed the bars being raided and that people of all ages and all works of life were being piss tested... and then the next segment was about the city council having a meeting about how to attract more tourists... lol

    Perhaps the people that associate Thailand as a place where they can do whatever they want, will be put off coming to Thailand in the future.

    If you want to smoke dope, get drunk all night etc. Go to Spain.

    You do have a choice.

  5. Educated in the United States and from a large Chinese Thai Business family i doubt that very much, but hey who knows?

    There is a certain snobbery amongst farangs posting on Thai related forums.

    " My wife is Thai Chinese " is an often used phrase.

    It is usually related to an assumption, that people do not associate Thai chinese with poverty or prostitution.

    Tell that to the Thai Chinese girls in the brothels of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.

    Many posters in Thai related forums use the ' Thai Chinese ' card, as a form of absolution, a form of self assurance.

    Is a man that has fallen in love with a bargirl a lesser man than a man that fell in love with a lawyer?

    We are all human beings. We are all dead a long time.

  6. Yes class comes into it (I have said as much) and yes as Mango states above the fact that many (a considerable number) of Thai/Foreigner relationships started in bars and or prostitution is an issue.

    So you are pretty much out on a limb and quite lonely?

    I am also interested in your assumption that a considerable ammount of Thai/Farang relationships started in a bar.

    As you and your Middle class wife do not associate with such people, how would you know?

    Whilst they are enjoying themselves at the party, you are in a taxi home, ( Or do you have a driver )?

  7. Hello.

    My mother is due to fly back to the UK but suffers from an extreme case of Claustrophobia so therefore is a very nervous flyer. I am trying to find some thing legal and that can be purchased from a chemist here that will knock her out for the duration of the flight..

    Anything that you can recommend???

    Thanks…… :o

    Alprazolam ( Xanax ), should have the desired effect.

    1 Mg of Xanax = 20 Mg of Valium

    Treat Alprazolam with respect, it is highly addictive, and once a dependency sets in, you will wish you had never heard of them, ask anyone who has tried to quit Xanax after a dependency.

    The above advice is applicable for all drugs in the Benzodiazepine family.

  8. My wife associates with people from all walks of life. In her profession, it is unavoidable.

    The people she would try to avoid, if she had to avoid a certain group of people, would be middle class Thai's that consider themselves better than a less fortunate or less educated person. Would my wife shun a fellow Thai because that person was not educated at a world renowned University?

    Not a chance.

    She has the mental capacity to be able to adapt to the people in her vicinity, and is certainly not shallow enough to pass judgement, even on shallow middle class Thai's.

    I guess that's why we have so many friends, not just associates in our professions.

    Snobs are very shallow, and only worthy of the company of other like minded shallow people.

    If my wife was ever to ask me to leave a party because she felt she was superior to the other guests, I think I would file for divorce.
