Ah yes, ‘mai mii - no have’. Sometimes it’s frustrating, but hey, it’s all part of the experience. Like you say, it makes planning ahead difficult but that’s just one of the many differences between the Thai and Western psyche. I still know where I’d rather be.

Yes I can believe it. I went to Thai food restaurant with friends. We ordered food, we get everything, the fish, the salads, the curry but we didn’t get rice. After waiting untill the food was cold, we ask the waitress, did you forget the rice for us?
She smiled and answered. No have - finished!
In an expensive, fancy looking restaurant. So I believe everything in this matter.

I went to a restaurant in Bern last week at 4pm, asked for a Latté and the response was “nicht haben Milch jetzt”. At least the guy said it with a smile and I found my latté around the next corner. So not all is different in Switzerland

LOL! Well, German supermarkets can be like that sometimes. If you go maybe an hour before closing time on a Saturday half of their stock may be gone, things like eggs or onions that you think they would always have.
