Yes, wonderful country, wonderful people. We do love it here. Although, seemingly against the trend in favorite places, we really enjoy life in Bangkok.
My wife is Viet. I speak/understand some. In a taxi in HCMC, and the driver (thinking she's a working girl)asks her, "please help me make some more money off him." She didn't miss a beat, replied "you help kill him, and we'll take all his money" Needless to say, there was a look of astonished disbelief on his face. Then she lit into him. Felt kinda sorry for the guy, lol.
For a month, we got a 1 bedroom apt at Center Point soi 10, for just a few dollars (including breakfast & daily maid service) over what a airbnb in area costs.
Baseball bat, cricket bat(?), length of iron water pipe. Then use liberally, with much force, as needed. Sometimes, electricity can 'really' be your friend.
