Hold the chicken pot pie folks!

JUST MY OPINION folks, so please if you're gona throw something at me, throw sticky rice and som tom with a T-Bone! (all this talk is making me hungry).

First off I'm %100 Thai. Funny thing is most Thai people irritated the crud outta-me! Why? I have my reasons, yet after reading Richard's blog that's just more fuel for the fire.

Ok, here's my niave question, "Why would a 'developing nation' have 2 prices depending on your nationality?" Hopefully, it isn't supported by the Thai government...Isn't this like the "white" and a "black" water fountains of old?

Picture this.....I'm Thai...I look Thai....I'm visiting Thailand with my American Readneck 'Farang' wife. I point to the sign "100 Baht" (without opening my mouth, cuz that would give me away). I get into the kick-boxing match. My wife without saying a word is directed to another sign, "200 baht". Well, that's an insult to me and to my wife.

Don't get me wrong, cuz price gouging based on the color of your skin happens all over the place right??????????? What? The further your away from being a natural Thai the more you have to shuck out for goods and services? Come-on folks, this is the 21st Century!!!!

Ok, I've said enough for now. Nonetheless, I respect their way of life.....and "NO" to the Right to Choose bologna - there should be (1) price.
