Lucky if I meet two a year and have lived here twenty four years. I understand there are more out there but not many. Happy that your friend is willing to make an effort to learn. Would you like me to make a video for YouTube proving my point? Foreigners who are fluent have asked the same their hunch less than 10% . My guess about 1% if that.

@Cherie *******

Do they forward mail to Thailand?

Good for you if you are willing to learn Thai. 99% of expats refuse really bad mistake.

@Jack ***************

no they should be fine. flip flops are sort of tacky.

You want to become a Thai to save on taxes? Best one I have heard this year so far. The last one wanted to become a Thai because of mental distress.

I don,t tend to go showing mine off in public. Hey look everybody I have a $$$$ for the week I think I might marry her. When I see foreigners showing off their rentals in public I can,t help but cringe.

@Colin ********

I do a great deal of photography myself so can certainly relate.

@Marek *****

I would not touch anything in any tourist areas PERIOD! Thankfully I can spot a working girl miles away. They are great for one thing bang and toss. Otherwise move on if you are serious.

@Rikki *******

$$$$ I am sure they have by thousands of foreigner SUCKERS!

@Aaron ******

And again not learning Thai. If you understood Thai there would be far fewer problems besides majority of bad ones will avoid you. No dodgy Thai wants a smarter than average foreigner hanging around.
