    Thailand really is very good at shooting itself in the foot. With BLM / racial discrimination being so high on the global agenda - and as a country that relies on tourism, this becomes high on the agenda of Thailands customers. These actions are clumsy at best and paint Thailand in a poor light, opening the proverbial barn doors to Thailand being seen as an unfriendly country to foreigners. 

    unfortunately, despite the racism and discrimination in Thailand nothing is ever done about it and if you try to tell people back home what is going no one really gives a <deleted>. So same old same old and the beat goes on. Nothing will ever help these people join the mainstream...

    Bring back the good old Thai feudal days.  Educate the rich and let the rug-rats of the poor work side-by-side with their indentured parents in neo-slavery.  Look at the Lakhon on TV.  What are wonderful period of time.  The rich were wealthy beyond belief and everyone else grovelled on the ground at their feet as things should be in a truly civilized Thai world.  Let's bring back the good old days, 'eh?  So take care of the rich Thai kids and forget about the rest.  They're not going to have any future after the economy is collapsed so why bother educating them?

    Why don't you add, "And let the sons of the rich rape the servants!" while your at it...  ????

    More of Trumps America only to bring manufacturing back to the US , I hope Thailand will jam on the import tax to any GM/Chev vehicles ordered after the closures .

    Be it Tump's politics or not, I really wonder what is going on in your mindset. Thailand is treating us and most likely foreign companies like total refuse and you are on their side? Really? I got screwed at immigration last visa renewal and this did nothing to make me like the Thai mindset anymore than I did before. I hope you buy a GM and get to pay the tax you surely seem to hope the Thais will slap on the product... wait , wait... maybe the Thais will slap taxes all across the board on cars as they have been doing for years...

    It's a screwed up system!   I understand if it's a worker the Thai family rely on for their income but a 77 year old is unlikely to be holding done a 9 to 5 job.  Part time maybe. 

    Even then, if the old nutter was responsible why does the other party have to dish out anything?

    I have heard of stories like this and it is a shame on any society that anyone would expect compensation when they are in the wrong. But I have a feeling this guy was working illegally and that there is something that is not being talked about here...

    I predict this thread will die an early death as no farang will be caught dead praising a Thai (no puns intended). 
     

    I think ThaiVisa forum should also be renamed ThaiBashing forum lol. 

    The words "bleeding heart" come to mind when I read posts like yours. Posts like this usually come from a 30 something who just met his first Thai girl and who is used to hearing "handsome man" wherever he goes.
