I need directions to the Banglamung Post Office

[PERTURBED 0]

In true Thai style, the post office has left me a slip telling me I have a package that they couldn't shove through the slit in my mailbox.

 

You would think that the paper would tell me where the post office is, as they requested that I come there, but they do not.

 

I saw the same thing on my water bill when it was overdue. They don't tell you how to find the fucking office. Why are they so stupid?

 

How do I get there from Sukumvhit? - Pattaya Klang and Sukumvhit will do nicely.

You really do have an unpleasant way with words Perturbed. Please don't become one of those bitter expats I see around the place. Chill out and enjoy the good things here and deal with the bad in a pleasant manner.

 

To get there from Sukhumvit and Pattaya Klang, head north along Sukhumvit Rd, past the lights at Pattaya Nua then turn left at the next traffic lights in Naklua. Just past the market on the left there is a bend in the road. The post office is on the left just past the bend.

I wonder who???

I think Pattaya Pete made a mistake with his directions it should read:-

 

Firstly get off your soap box, proceed as quick as you can untill you reach your opinion of Thailand, do a quick U -Turn. Then proceed at a much slower pace towards sociability,enjoy the view, laugh at the obstacles in your way and rememberi to pick up a bit of politeness on the way. It might not be the quickest or easiest route but you will arrive feeling far more relaxed.If you are unable to do a U turn because your opinion is blocked by cliches then I suggest you continue directly towards Don Muang. Unfortunately you might find it closed, so you may have to walk all the way back home.

I didn't see Petes post, as an alternative way from Pattaya Klang just drive 2nd Rd passing the Dolphin and you're on Naklua Rd.

You're painting all my words with the same broad brush or are you just referring to the words that started this topic?

 

Did you have a problem with my facts?

 

Fact: They went to the trouble of printing a card to show they were here, and that you need to visit them.

Fact: There is no address on the card.

Fact: Facts numbered 1 through 2 together make whomever wrote the card, a stupid git.

 

So what is wrong with my statement?

 

If you would like to defend this, please explain why it is so intelligent to do it this way. I'm open to enlightenment from all comers.

Well it's the second time in the last couple of days you have come across a bit arrogant. I can't be sure but I seem to remember similar cards at home for registered items, just saying to hand the card into the local Post Office without giving directions.

 

Whatever, the point is that these little things can drive you crazy and turn you into a loud mouthed whinging expat if you are not careful. I think we all know that Thais use a different sort of logic. If you live here, get used to it because its not changing anytime soon.

 

If you want to keep your blood pressure under control learn to laugh about it and come to the board for directions.

Arrogant? I read some post by touristman (useless and pathetic) slamming America. I noticed that that thread is still in full swing even though it demeaned Americans, yet my thread which indeed shows Americans are superior to the rest of the world, is locked.

 

Martin, an American, is obviously cowing to the loud Brits who rule this board. It's a clear double-standard. They can talk about how awful America is and I can't say how we are the brains of the world while the rest of you are the bollocks?

 

A fine double-standard indeed. Arrogant? I don't think so. Outraged? You bet your ass.

 

I am really PERTURBED.

Thank you Pete, I managed to get close enough to the post office to find it. I'm not sure what market you referred to, but at the bend in the road I didn't see it and drove past it. I first saw a Farang - turned out to be some German who wasn't much help. When I asked him if he knew where the Post Office was he looked at me as if I had two heads.

 

I asked him what he spoke - he understood that - and he replied Duetche - ok I speak some German so I ask him where the Post was - Luft Post - he still gave me the look.

 

A nice Thai man pointed it out to me.

 

The post office stank - of what I don't know. In America you can smell the stench of civil servant but here it was a stink I have not smelled before. Not as fetid as the fish market but stale.

 

I think the way they portray Santa Claus in the movies was almost the way this place was. I can't imagine anyone getting their mail.

 

After some time they found my letter for which I had to sign.

 

And guess what, as I'm leaving the German piece of shit old man comes walking in the door. I managed to polish my German a bit by chewing the old bastard out - fucker was going there all along.

 

Not to worry, he looks like he won't be here too long - I think death will grab his ass soon enough - probably an ex-Nazi hiding out.

 

Maybe he smelled Jew on me.

 

Drove around Naklua but was not impressed. Reminded me of Appalachia.
