As for staff in big stores, they can walk you to where they think the product is, hand you over to another staff member, then they walk you to another completely different area, hand you over again. Then they say "Mai mee, no hab".

@Stephen ********

Exactly....

I could tell you about my wife talking to a lady on the phone who was directing us to her shop. But the woman didn't even know the name of the road her shop was in. Honestly.

It took 5 more phone calls just to finally find the area!!

Not even where the shop was.

But I won't tell you, because even 4 years later, it pees me off. 😂😂😂

You gotta luv 'em right?

Common sense never made it to these shores... it tried, but got lost. 😂🤪😂

@Stephen ********

That's why they get nowhere when they chat... THEY don't know what they're saying either... 😂😂😂😂.

And for the keyboard warriors, I'm only joking.

Of course they hear what they're saying, they just have trouble computing it.

....umm, joking again.

Have you ever dealt with a bank teller? Or a plumber? Or a builder? Or a shop assistant?

It's like it's their job, but it's the first time they had to do it...😂😂😂.

Can road builders build roads that last more than 2 months? Nope.

Ask a shop assistant where a certain product is...you can guarantee they will send you in the wrong direction. It's like their first day on the job, every day!!

@John ******

"No hab"...😂😂😂

@John *****

Totally agree... I am envious of those who can, but I can get by with Translate etc.

If thais don't want to learn the world's first language, then that's up to them.

I can't be assed to learn thai anymore either.

@Si **********

Do they teach you how to speak proper english as well? Lar kid...😂😂😂🙏🏻

They invented Google Translate, and googling photos to show staff. Speaking Thai is for southern softies lar... oh fk, I am one of those..

@John ********

What bar girl??? I don't have a bar girl.

You are a keyboard warrior. You probably can't even speak thai, you are pretending to, to look clever, but you are a fool to pick on people, and all you have is stupid divisive comments.

@John ********

I can google translate stuff as well.

If I need to get something across to a thai, then I can use a voice translation.

The staff in merchants are dozy anyway. Even my missus asks them where something is, and you can bet they will send you in totally the wrong direction...guaranteed.

It's simple, I've tried to learn, still am trying.... but it's f'ing hard work. English is easy, I learnt that when I was young. 😂😂😂

Some can do it easy, some find it goes in one ear then out the other. I'm the latter.

I'm not stupid, but just can't learn it.

I can get by in a shop or restaurant, but can't hold a conversation. I have a friend who can speak it fluently, I am envious, but I just can't learn it.

@Lucas ******

Yes my friend, it does.

Thai law itself isn't the problem. It's fishy corrupt lawyers, etc that can be the problem.

But your condo is safe. Also, as long as you prove you had big money before you married, they can't touch that either. All you had outside the marriage is still yours. Her lawyer would try it on (like divorce lawyers do), and pressure you into paying out, but its not the law.

So these people on here who say you would lose everything, haven't got a clue. They are just saying it to try and ruin a life or two.

If it was a house in her name, you could of still got a usufruct (30 year lease) on that marital home, she couldn't evict you. And no one would buy that property if she tried to sell it. The only way for her to sell, is if you would sign your name off the chanote. Which you wouldn't do, or you'd be homeless.
