Seen at a restaurant in Rajthevee, Bangkok:
‘Please’
1. If you never order, can't seat here.
2. Don't order only water.
They must have had some bad experiences in the past.
Really! Because thai's are usually kinda relaxed about these things. I've even seen places where locals bring their own drinks and just sit and chill if not too crowded. ;)
Yes, how true, but this sign seems not to be intended against the locals, but more specifically against Africans, so I was told. Here in Pratunam the're quite a lot of them. Some are using the cafe/restaurant on the picture as a hangout. I'm not sure and I don't want to judge based on race, but I find it hard to conceive they all can make a living out of just buying fashion here and selling it back home or are merely having a holiday.
In 2009 I decided to radically change my life in the Netherlands and become what I call an I-nomad or information technology driven nomad.
I gave up all belongings besides easy to carry luggage with bare essentials.
I-nomads usually live in guesthouses or hotels, being able to move anywhere at any time they choose. What's the point you may wonder; the answer for me is simple: feel free, feel happy. This is a personal perception, since most people will experience happiness in a more conventional setting.
My life style is often being referred to as Perpetual / Permanent Traveler / Tourist, which is.....is, OK is fine with me. I-nomads are mostly in possession of a laptop, netbook or alike to manage the necessary income derived from royalties, web-publishing, financial investments or similar means which can be controlled remotely to maintain their self-imposed lifestyle budget.
Currently I am traveling through South-East Asia and since more than two years together with my companion and fiancee Polly.
