Pod Thai - Grumpy Expats In Bangkok

Nana Shame, Thai Queues & The Official Thailand Tipping Guide | S2E2 (#37)

This week we talk bad golf caddies, correct a few of our Thai pronunciations, and discuss why so much English-language Thailand news seems to be either foreigners in Pattaya or animals causing chaos.

We also get into whether people judge tourists getting off at Nana, why queueing in Thailand can drive Brits mad, and finish with our completely unofficial tipping guide for life in Bangkok.
