BkkShaggy Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 Thanks @@ I think that's enough reading for me. Starting to get a headache Enough Thai for today - I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 I think the talk is baloney. (1) No one is her right mind, not even a Farang woman, would sound off like that if she were in business in Asia. (2) A more typical Thai reaction would be to watch until that Volvo parked in the "reserved" spot -- and then slash all four tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phiketpete Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 Did it happen yes no perhaps who knows. Does any one use that particular Starbucks outlet. Perhaps we could obtain soem form of reaction from the 'owners' As fo 'boycott'. Well I would not use that word. But anyone charging that amount for a cup of coffee amd muzak would not get my business in the first place. I do not see the attraction . It's strange that a few weeks ago over on Delphi thre was outrage over the increased prices for drinks at NEP and just prior to that there was another where the complaint was the price of a coke or other soft drink in the ago go's yet I do not recall a thread on the crazy price of coffee at Starbucks and similar. I guess we are all different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 I think it just shows the majority of us spend more time in bars than coffee shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 Reading through the posts at http://pantip.inet.co.th/cafe/rajdumnern/topic/P948525.html several Thais have tried to phone the number given by the original poster of the story. The number is apparently non-existant. One Thai (message #2) goes on to state that he thinks the story was just planted by some rival business competitor of Starbucks.

sanukdee Posted May 20, 2001 Report Share Posted May 20, 2001 While starbucks is over priced, I would hate to have to give up a source of good beans.. I guess it is back to watching the chem lab students make my coffee in beakers at Siam Centre. [/QB] That's funny grimmbro, but I hope it won't come true. Why doesn't someone in BKK call that number and clear this urban legend up. ps I'm part owner of Starbucks too! LOL(have a few shares) but never kicked anyone out of a parking lot.

Guest Posted May 20, 2001 Report Share Posted May 20, 2001 Actually the message was originally posted on the very popular Pantip.com, which is rather like a Nanaplaza forum for Thais (without the go-go stuff of course) I only wish I could read Thai because there's some serious bitchin that goes on in that forum - and my girlfriend reads them too me. I always feel that Thais never complain enough, but I might be changing my tune in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkong Posted May 20, 2001 Report Share Posted May 20, 2001 I don't know why BangkokPhil is posting this crap (well maybe he's just testing our intelligence). It should be obvious to everyone here that this is just more of the Thaksin style racism that is all too common in LOS nowadays. It's sad to notice that even smart Thais buy this sort of imbecile junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
