Well, sometimes the Thais don't get it quite right when translating from Thai to English. I wish over the years I had taken more pics but yesterday I did, and is a good reason why mobile phones should have cameras! As I roam about Thailand, I'll be taking more but here's a start. :-)

Yah, only FOREIGNERS throw those things!

Shame on you, Siam Ocean World, for not having a competent English consultant!

YOu think that's bad?

Two days ago, I sent to the noodle shop, in the food court at Big C, Sapan Kwai.

The Guy was serving another Thai, then I was next.

He told me that he could not serve me cause the lady wasout shoping.

I went back 30 mins later after MY shopping, and again, he was serving someone.

I then asked for what I wanted, and he told me he could not serve me cause the lady was still not around.

Where I come from, he would get arrested for racisim...what is it called here?

AND...beofre I get attacked for moaning, I went to Absolute 7 bar this evening, had a few beers, and then got a cab home. Half way into the journey, I realised I had left my bag in the bar. I asked the driver to turn back, and he did, no tutting, no sighing, no moaning, and he got me there as fast as pssible WHILEST being safe. He waited for me to get my bad, REFUSED to take any money off me even though I was about to disappear into soi 7/1, sure enough, he was there waiting for me when I got back a min or two later.

During the journey home, it was a refreshing change to see a taxi driver to only jump the ONE red light, and he was polite, kind, and safe.

FOr all his help, and lack of moaning, I doubled the meter. It was WELL worth it.

I give big to those who deserve it, and to tose who do not deserve it, I guve F* all.

Sorry for ranting, SOmeone pissed me off today, and I need a rant....Sorry Mike to rant here, I should maybe open my own special ranting thread...

See you tomorrow...

Niight all
