thought maybe we could air some pet hates, just those guys not here dont feel quite so bad about not being in LOS - Guess my #1. is thai Game shows on TV - mind you, you have to live where there is no cable, and/or have a TG who commands the remote to appreciate that one. Helpful waiters putting ICE in my 'margaret river' red is a close 2nd, and for a 3rd... Ummmm well, maybe its not a bad place to live after all.

Okay. This is going to be a stretch, but here goes nothing!! ha ha ha!!
1. traffic and the way many local people drive, which is crazy!!
2. strange weather. one moment it can be hella' hot and the next, it's still hella' hot, but raining like there is no tomorrow.
3. pollution
4. smoking (Hey.. I'm in a state that does not allow public smoking and I'm a non-smoker!! ha ha ha!! Besides asians smoke like a chimney stack!!)
5. ESPN sportscenter does not cover much american sports. I know. No duh?? ha ha ha!!
6. ÝThe internet at most places is not just slow but stone-age slow!! Whenever you hear that modum sound you know you are in trouble!! ha ha ha!!
7. ÝTheir import beer selection for the most part sucks!!
8. Too much to do in too little time!! ha ha ha!!!

No woman...I repeat NO WOMAN should ever be allowed control of the remote!
There I've had my say......
What do I hate
1. Waiting for late Farangs who think just because they've lived here a long time thay can be late because....
2. Cockroaches....just seeing them on the street makes my blood boil.
3. Dogs (but that applies anywhere)

FarangBha,
Regarding ear piercing motorbikes: when staying at my TGF's apartment, there is this jerk who delights in racing down the street at 3 or 4 a.m. on his mufferless moto. One morning, after we both woke up from the noise and I grumbled some profanity, my TGF rolls over, and in a rare moment of jai dam says to me "maybe he die!"
Well, months later, the noise stopped, and I asked her on the phone, what happened to our buddy. I hear a deep and sinister Isaan laugh, then, "maybe he die ..."
LOS?

TPE,
have a scary secret. On my last trip in December, I actually started WATCHING those damn game shows (and soap operas) with my TGF. Is this how old-timers disease first manifests itself?

- banks, their closing hours and inappropriate service.
- stupid waiters who put ice into red wine or total lack of any understanding in any service
- thai pedestrians
- thai taxi drivers who always queue in the longest traffic row, driving manners in general!
- the thai telephone etiquette: never mention your name or even better call somebody and hang up after one second and expecting you to call them back! always anwering the phone with haloa and best calling around 04:00 - 06:00 in the morning!
- double pricing system!
- thai style pizza, urgh! a combination between fat american style pizza added up with extra ketchup and strange toppings. hardly any original italian style pizza in bangkok available!
- expensive cheese and wine everywhere!
- bad quality, speed of phone lines and internet!
- stupid traffic system, you can hardly cross or make u-turns on many main roads, nor being able to make right turns! keeps the traffic unnecessarily in the streets!
- thai tv!
- bts and elevator etiquette! get in first instead of letting people get out!
- shopping everything which is on promotion or discount even you do not need it! - neglect of anything old or second hand! ever wondered why there are no nice old cars or old houses around?
- getting served the main course before the starter in many restaurants, or dessert and main course together!
- the nightmarket in patpong or all these street vendors on sukhumvit! putting the biggest stalls on the smallest parts of the streets just to block all pedestrians.
- thai traffic police officers squeezing out there lunch and dinnre money from innocent farang drivers!

- tables in eating establishments with plastic,or even worse NYLON, table-cloths (nylon... in that heat... eww)
- the way the salesgirls in dept stores hijack you once you've selected one item to purchase.... they don't get it that you want to carry that skirt around with you till you find a matching blouse. (either that or I look like a serial shop-lifter!)
- forks at street-vendor type places where the prongs of the fork are all bent out of shape.
- pricey restaurants that can't manage to bring the the rice together with the main-meal, or the starter before the main-meal, or both starters at the same time
- and last but not least... the fact that it's a 12 hour flight away from me.
