huumlaar Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 <<Other than basic comforts, the Government Complex also has a little shopping mall in the basement, along with a food centre, beauty shops and restaurants. A hair salon owner said business was booming, while staff at Chester's Grill also said they had been selling well.>> Only in Thailand, Drove past a government site yesterday the front gate, a few tables, flags, whistles all just sitting there, asked the guard what happened, "Gin Khoa" Turns out he was minding the protesters gear while they went away for lunch. Upon return he'll be keeping them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 The Immi office here in Samut Skhon (45 Km SW of BKK) is open. 30 sec visit for a farang to get checked in and out. Mostly Myanmar people going there so they actually treat the farang almost as a human being...one million % better then the Immi in Bangkok!

Flashermac Posted November 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I had a Lao refugee colleague (raised in Oz and now an Australian citizen) who complained to me about how she was treated like crap by Immigration in Samut Sakhon. Maybe it's only Farangs they like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
