I'm agreed with you. When in Thailand, if you can speak Thai, they won't chop you on farang price. Even taking taxi, they will automatic on meter, no need to ask... Go to some temple or tourist place, you only need to pay Thai price. When come to business, they will feel more comfortable to deal with you, coz you learn their language and respect their culture... Most important is when you hook for girl, they also will like you more... 5555
