I'm of the opinion that you should only write what you are prepared to say to someone in his face. That's under the assumption that normally you're not literally spoiled for a fight or looking to start a fistfight or punch-up. Let me think about this, hell right. Head to a Mango p**s up, banter flowing and insults traded. Wont be the first time I have been in company and the "who brought that <theduck>" phrase has been used. Wont be the first time someone is taken aside and told, "you brought that kant, tell him to get his hand in his pocket, or eff out of this company, do you want to tell him or shall I?" |

Up in the Nakhon separate bins pretty much solves the problem. And it has spread to most of those I drink with in Pattaya. But the problem of a-holes will, like the poor, always be with us.

Talking of Pattaya and ass holes, and would you say it to his face. A few months ago i was in pattaya, some two week millionaire white knight accused me of causing him to lose face in front of his "mrs" and her friend, I didnt return a wai. My answer was, you are a farang, why do you worry about face? No answer, I continued, I dont see Thai men wai ing prostitutes, why should I, do you want me to continue. At that stage khun gob shytes mate backed off and left a space, they knew what was coming, I told him thai prostitutes dont have normal thai ladies as friends, their only friends are other prostitutes. if you want to take it further, lets head to the toilet, at that stage his effin whore dragged him out of the bar, the effin cow didnt even give me a wai. |

Yes me too changers, but of late I am seeing a few at it who don't seem to be that new. Parallel worlds. In my circle anyone giving a wai would never hear the end of it. Makes me cringe to see it.

I'm working in Bangkok in the IT environment at banks. With the juniors I might nod my head, with some of the higher level staff I may give a wai. Mostly in response.

Not guilty for once. Don't ever remember doing it even in the very early days, it just looked so unnatural and uncomfortable. Perhaps also I did not meet any "ups" drinking in the Dog's Bollocks.

Hardly ever wai anyone or anything like shrines etc.
Exceptions being the dear old in-laws and a small group of ancient relatives whom I see about two or three times a year who are a fraction or fair bit older than me, and who are a lovely pair of souls who always give a nice wai and a smile back too as well as a small group of somewhat ancient relatives nay living fossils in some cases bless them, and that's only at the initial meeting too.

Do they give you any Werthers originals?  |

BTW in response to your earlier unwarranted slur (I dislike repeating long posts) I was sober and not posting whilst p**sed, that will happen tonight. |

I just gave a recommendation for staying cool. I only posted "Deep breath, follow up with sipping your beer and I allow you one 'foreign git' " |
