Thais seems to be aware of that too, or why do they check the bill as well?

Sorry, can only get 200 photo on one cd. That was the limit of her English. I had been warned not to argue, with anyone, if I was on my own and it was only 160Bht. It would have bought a few decent Thai style dishes though, so I stuck to my guns. Unfortunately I did not have the ammo.
The shop started to fill up and a line was forming behind. I smiled, they smiled back. Then I wisely chickened out and left, as politely as I could muster and bought a half gig chip, in a big store. That kept me going untill I got to Samui. Now, if I am away from home, I always use the half gig chip, because even a moron can see that it fits onto a 700Mb CD. Plus it's eady to trot out the number in Thai. Cd Jet loy Mb, chip ha loy Mb, nueng Cd Kup.
Any particular reason? You don't actually follow this advice do you?Quote:
