My English has been corrected a few times here, but I have managed to survive even though I'm not a native speaker.

Also known as "American share". In Thailand the wealthiest or most senior person will pick up the tab, Americans only pay for what they consume or split the bill 'equally' with their Thai friends.

It could be worse.

Not when you see the Danish immigration laws...
BBC NEWS | Europe | Denmark's immigration issue

It cost me $8,000+ to get a residence permit for my Thai wife... and it's not even permanent yet, it will not be permanent until she have stayed in DK for more than 7 years

Reason for the above - too many freeloaders in U.S.

Welcome to you and your family.

Yeah, that'd be the downside - I agree. Stick around and try to help explain that to boonme and the other forum conservatives who see Denmark as heroes for their attitude to (non-white) foreigners.

**Silent Ninja** · 02-10-2006, 01:58 PM

I did know there were people like that here... how can Thai tourists/expats think something like that?

**Skulldigger** · 05-10-2006, 06:18 PM

^Good question.

Check out the Issues forum to find out.

It seems that correct usage of the English language is a prerequisite on this board so I'll try my best to get it right. Forgive me if I don't.

You have to learn me that language, Diaw.

A lot of my customers at the airport are Dutch and at times I really cant understand them.
