I don’t think that is what he is saying at all… he’s saying she had the idea to do it in that area and everyone jumped on the bandwagon…

@Brandon ***********

there’s a lot to be said about that. For me though, what is impressive is how fast it happened. It started with one company and now it’s seemingly just saturated the market and the last three restaurants I went to had a their own brand represented but with the same style freezer, same flavors and virtually same cup design, just a bit tweaked Also, most of these ice creams are pretty decent, so I’ve just been impressed with the speed in which the copycats have taken hold of the product.

@Tim ********

that’s what I’m thinking. There is one big company that makes the ice cream and the franchises it out and each franchise uses their own label etc etc.

No, its just they all seem to be the same 15 flavours and similar packaging. Every time I go out I seem to encounter a new "brand"...I'm simply wondering if anyone else has noticed the same thing. It would be an odd thing to make a conspiracy theory up about, but hey, stranger things do happen...!

@Al *********

Yes, but it doesn't mean it's legit when it comes down to it, having some agency get you a B visa without having the required capital or actually having a job is a shady method, that's my only point

Al Kukrapokif by different ways you mean getting an agent to get you a sketchy under the radar visa, then yes, there are ways But it’s far from legit when it comes down to it

@Al *********

for a business visa don't you need a job or money invested in an enterprise to secure one?

never say never

Will Richardsonand there are people that don’t understand why they have to do that. Some people really abuse the system

John-Paul RivaNotice what I said, I said people who bash their countries, which isn’t all expats in Thailand. Truth be told I probably am a bit of an outcast in my home country, but thats my problem and not the fault of my native land…I also find it incredibly ironic that when you go to an expat bar and hear the people there saying things like “immigrants back home won’t adapt or learn the language” they are usually themselves failing to do the exact same things they moan on about. For me though, I always remember my roots and if I hear someone bashing the US, especially if they aren’t American, I will speak up and defend the place with passion…I also get sick of expats who wear “rose colored glasses” about Thailand. Everything here is rainbow and glitters for them and if you bring up anything you don’t particular like you are labeled a “Thai basher”
