A Singaporean's guide to living in Thailand

This FB pic, I believe not rigged. From my personal experience with many Siam Kia drivers, many will not get their driving licenses if they were to take their driving test in some other countries.
Real life example, my former no. 2, have driving license, cannot drive alone by herself, need a copilot. Only can drive auto transmission car. Can drive very fast on main roads buts parallel parking and sometimes vertical parking CMI. Cannot read the analogue speedometer. Fuel empty already still dont know. Dont know how to pump air into tires. Never use mirror when changing lane. front mirror is for them to check their makeups suay mai suay.............list goes on.
In short, really have such drivers who dont know anything about cars. All they know is open car door, start engine, step accelerator and brake pedal.
Edit:
Forgot to add this point. When zhabor driving, cannot give comments about their driving one. Just have to shut up all the way. But when me driving, they can yak yak yak all the way to final destination. Good and bad lor, keep me awake.

yup. Quite heavy for me too but bobian, since vege want to eat.
This all zhabor driver also same, whole world over. Rear view camera, lane change warning, blind spot warning, auto brake assist etc were invented by zhabor engineers specifically for zhabor drivers. The one male invention is Waymo/Uber/Tesla all trying to perfect driverless cars so we don't have to deal with zhabor drivers on the road in the future
Agreed. Arguing and winning against thai puying is what angmo call a pyrrhic victory. Means you win but in the end you lose.
For me, one of the hardest thing to understand or conform to in Thailand is how to do things the "jai yen" way. But it is very important (at least in Thailand).
There are 2 types. There are many from ban nok, went to some Rajabhat uni, and suddenly become "Bangkok big city girl". Those very hard to adapt to new things or new food and always complain about non-Thai food as "jeud"
Then there are those which grew up in BKK upper middle class, went to foreign uni, can speak english well, very international. My office in Bangkok got tons of these. They can fit in anywhere in the world.
When you think about it, Singaporean also the same
How har ? Be a good jao pap.
Among sinkies, we kpkb about Sinkieland. But when I'm outside, especially living in a foreign land, I raise the profile of my motherland. I know if they see my country no up, they see me no up. Likewise, if they see your country very up they see you also very up.
For a start, ask them to buy flight and hotel packages via Expedia. You know I asked the same question the last time, but I have found the answer now. Expedia offers the best packages. Siambu only needs to spend $300 plus, and you can sleep 3 nights at hotels in Orchard Road/Scotts Road. They will need you to advise them on the best hotels in terms of shopping and convenience.
If they are good friends of yours, get them a 5-in-1 tourist card where they can roam Universal Studio, Gardens by the Bay etc. For Siambu, point them to the biggest Charles & Keith outlets or tell them to control their urge until they enter Changi Airport transit. There, they can use their boarding pass to bu C&K tax free.
Be a good jao pap. Make Sinkies proud, bro.
Bro, you know where in Pattaya I can get a nice garden settee that is cheap and good?
I know Decorum @ Thepprasit is cut-throat expensive, and Index Living, too, is not cheap.
The last time I bought one from one of those no air con shops at Sai 3, not the genuine rattan, nabeh, lasted only 1 year at my balcony after kanna morning sun every day.

Transgender women fined for posing naked for Chinese tourists
The trio -- Kanisorn Thoonjit, 31; Noppadon Jorwan,33; and Samtip Naimu -- were apprehended at around 1am in Pattaya by a police team led by Pol Lt Col Piyapong Ensarn, Pattaya tourist police inspector.
Pol Col Apichai Krobphet, chief of Pattaya police, took them for a media briefing at Pattaya police station. The three transgender women admitted they were the people appearing in a video that went viral. But they claimed the clip was recorded in 2013 and they had no idea who posted it online.
They said that day they were approached by a tour guide - also a transgender woman - who asked them to attend a party at a hotel in Pattaya Klang. They were to entertain a group of more than ten mute Chinese tourists, and would be paid 4,000 baht each for the job.

When they arrived at the party, they said they were asked to take off their clothes because the tourists wanted to see their bodies after undergoing a sex change operation. The trio said they agreed, providing the tourists did not take pictures - but once they had taken their clothes off, the Chinese tourists began to take pictures and shoot video anyway.
After the photo session, the trio said they left the room and were each paid 4000 baht, plus a tip of about 500 yuan (about 2,500 baht) each.
The clip posted online showed the three transgender women naked on a bed in a variety of poses for the camera.
The three transgender women on Tuesday apologised to the public for tarnishing the country's image for tourists.
Police initially charged them with acting in an obscene manner. They were fined 5,000 baht each before being released.
Police were tracking down the person who posted the clip, who would also face legal action.
