One stopperd me just off beach road and asked me if i want his buisness card.

Yea go on, i will have your card.

He then tells me we need to go to his place to get the card.

I replied hold on i will tell you how to improve your buisness. Get some printed up and save on shoe leather. Then i will get one off you tomorrow.

He never botherd me again the whole time i was there.

I remember a Thai proverb from an old Thai friend,

"If you come across an Indian and a cobra, shoot the Indian first, it is more dangerous!"

Theres a turban Johnny who hangs out between sukhomvit soi 3 and 5 who does the you very lucky man, have lucky face

On the day I was flying to LOS on my last trip, walking past Liverpool St Tube station a turban johnny approached me and gave me the same shit about lucky face.

maybe a polite FUCK OFF YOU CUNT maybe in order

On my first trip to LOS I discovered that tuk tuks much to my displeasure were only interested in taking me to places where they could get kickbacks from the business owner, and had no interest in taking me to the places I was paying him to take me. The next day a tuk tuk driver offered me a ride and out of pure anger I told him to FUCK OFF...He took offense, came back even harder and invited me to fight. Considering the fact he was bloody big for a Thai man and most likely would have had a few mates ready to come out of the woodwork to back him up I back pedaled pretty quick and fucked off. I always make my point with people like that but prefer to be less offensive about it these days.

I don’t mind if so called “tailor” wants to sell me f... suit but I do mind he wants to shake my hand every time I pass him. I hate it.

But I so do like to be called "Boss"....

The tailors are the real reason I go to Thailand

I have no problem with Indians back home in England, many are decent fellows.
However, in Thailand those Indians simply do not exist in my world and I completely ignore them

Apparently, I also have a lucky face. I over heard it last year as I walked past some turban-toting twat who didn't exist in my Sukhumvit world :|

I wouldnt walk around telling people to fuck off in another country especially Thailand, its best to be stern but polite boys
