It is out of the topic but I got drunk today so I will talk and share.
First: I read TV forum a lot (I am not saying it is not good, some people there are really great, also I know I should probably post it in there but I do not want to), the only reason I open it everyday is to be aware of recent changes by Thailand Immigration to be prepared. but reading comments I am getting confused (yes, I have nothing much to do else, retired, you know...I meant reading). I wish someone would post same info in here...
Second: I know how to live in a country as an alien. In the USA (for 20 years before I got my US passport) I was officially called an "alien". Not by the people but by the all official governmental documents. So why some people here are so angry when they are called "Falangs" or "hey you"? What do they expect? "hello nigga brazza" or "Ke paso, amigo"? It is a local way, take it or go away. I like the fact on this forum people do not complain about it . Little fights between each-other are fine I guess.
There are official races in the USA (however I am proud to be an American now) : African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, White, Native Indians, Islanders from the Territories and Others.. It is a fact.
Third: Check points: At my work I was checked by Interpol/FBR/Local PDs combined many times/reports and have had many many drug tests. But it was my choice of work.
BTW, when I stopped for a connection flight in LA (with US passport) from Mexico City to Hong Kong on a check point 2 officers searched me and my belongings for 2 hours non-stop repeating many times the same question like how much cash I have with me and etc. and only my NO/Call the Supervisor stopped them to check my arshole for the drugs. BTW, I did not have any. Never used as well.
And finally: Why some expats people think they are Gods and think that everyone here in Thailand should be happy with them and prey to them while they spend their money in here?
Nothing to do with the local expats on this Forum, just my own beer up's thoughts.
Sorry to bother.
My English is not native, sorry.
