MissMeiya:__________ Interesting. So, like the op, you are also an expat who was also involved in haulage business, and also faced the same challenges, and also happened to be on nairaland shortly after this thread opened, and also commenting. I see, the Op was to give the appearance of a gentle, considerate, and helpful contributor, while you were to be the aggressive one who bashed any commenter who dared to ask any question into submission abi? Got it... 10 Likes |

edogirl2: Are you stúpid? Is that what I said? Stop bringing me into useless argument. This is what happens when you bring threads like this to the front page. Like the last time, when that programmer thread that wound up on the front page. Dumb comments everywhere. Stick to Tonte Dike and Tina Savage and salt water. Note to my followers: I'm being accused of being from Thailand -_- 5 Likes |

The Op has been coming in and out 'viewing' the thread for the past 30 mins, yet he refuses to comment. Hmmm...I wonder why 3 Likes |

It will take around 2 months to fully renovate and change our website. Until then you can send me an email on bangkokce@hotmail.com Excellent write up you have there.

MissMeiya: Love this. ThaiAlNigeria, my father and I experienced many of the same problems you did. I'm learning a lot from this. Thank you for taking the time to detail your experiences. I'm emailing this to my dad. Well, above is your exact post Madam. And why would you be so unnecessarily aggressive if you did not have a stake in the Op's scheme? Oh, I just saw that you've removed the part of the post where you claimed to be an expat! Lobatan! 4 Likes |

ThaiAlNigeria: Greetings Nairalanders,Sai wadee ! Why are thai names too long ? Welcome to Nigeria, hope to read more of your stories. This is NaijaSiam connections. From Lagos to Bangkok. Doing business in thai is not also easy. The Farangs in thais complains about doing business in thai. What happens in naija is similarly the same as in thailand. 2 Likes |

MisMeiya, you are working hand in hand with the Op or you are one and the same person. Tell people exactly what you guys want. If you need people to give you trucks, then why not be open about it so people know what they are getting into. It's up to people to decide if they want to go into business with people who use underhand means to entice them into a business relationship. 4 Likes |

bigx: Most Nigerians Have such an evil, backward mindset. Threads like this expose them. No wonder... it's not the leaders Seriously. They've accused no less than three different people of either being the OP or working with him, in some nefarious plot. The word "scheme" was used. Can you imagine? And then you see them in other threads, claiming ebola is a secret weapon as part of some Ultimate Gay Mission. I think they are not many though. They are just the loudest. And it's annoying when mature people are trying to have a discussion. That's why I hate when threads like this come to the front page. 2 Likes |

Benz4pimp:How can it be scam?? So because he has no website yet then he qualifies as a scammer or dont you know those who own web sites(jumia,konga and co) do that for ulterior motives than honest hardworking individuals who might not be inclined to IT and their bizeness may not be hurt by that approach?...The written english is pure,thailand like nija,was a former British colony and so the OPs is on point and when you spend a few weeks working with the locals in nija the pidgin spirit will surely rub off on you...Abi OP? His post here is something most of us bizness owners can relate with and something all of us including neutrals,upcomers and the established should glean and learn from. 5 Likes |

Nice write up / format i must say. but I also must tell you that I SMELL SCAM all over this Thread.....People shine your eyes and borrow brain join. There is no free lunch! if you are a blogger i will understand your reason for these write up might be to generate traffic to your site...Remember life is give n take. So right now you are giving freely what do you intend taking from the readers? NB Anyways a dog that is determined to go astray will not wait to listen to the voice of the master. 2 Likes |

His post here is something most of us bizness owners can relate with and something all of us including neutrals,upcomers and the established should glean and learn from. Don't answer them. Don't even read their posts. It will make your head hurt. Also, I went to his profile--The company has a website. Compared the typical level of most Nigerian business websites and yahoo/gmail email addresses, someone on his web team knows what they're doing. I hate mediocrity. |

booblacain: I didn't read all of his posts. Just the first two. Then I immediately went to his profile. The email is on the website. And it ends in the company's domain name. I do my own research. If you want to succeed in business, thorough research will save you a lot of wasted time and money. |

Peradventure, his posts were written by a Nigerian partner or a member of his team. The writing is above what an average Thai English-speaker would have written. I might be wrong though. |
