Docno

Oversized, bulky luggage?? They ain't seen my wife going on a trip! (Talking about the luggage, not my wife!) 

Doesn't look like much in the photos

I will try to (partly) refrain from commenting on the multiple tats being an indicator of anti-social behaviour.

But One Less Racist Idiot… 🙄

The post you referred to simply said "3 million violent, thieving terrorists" and you assumed he was talking about people of colour. Hmmm, I wonder who the racist is... 🤪

potentially exacerbated by an extreme liquid diet.

Is this the euphemism we used in our youth ... haven't heard it in years. Back then, it meant intake mostly confined to booze in one form or another. It's a little more ambiguous in this context (if you don't know the guy -- his name means nothing to me).

Exactly, dude. The politeness will be those folks' undoing.

It's about time Canada became our 51st state. We'll teach them how to be REAL men instead of the woke liberal sissies they are now.

 

And Canadian resources are a welcome addition to our economy btw.

USA USA!🇺🇲

Guess you didn't watch the 4 Nations game (or should I say '4 Nations fights', which were occasionally interrupted by some hockey). Yes, Canadians are polite. Until they're not. 
As a German colonel said during WWI: "“I don’t care for the English, Scotch, French, Australians or Belgians but damn you Canadians, you take no prisoners and you kill our wounded”.

Big police crackdown nationally to "maintain order". Smoking cigs, smoking dope and all vaping shops temporarily closed yet the high daily death rate on the roads remains and people still riding without helmets. This stinks of Thaksin.

Wow - he's literally become the bogeyman for some! (I'm waiting for him to be blamed for global warming)

A lot certainly do; mind you, we don't put mayonnaise on them, or go around sticking fingers in dykes...

Maybe the dykes wouldn't mind... 

Interesting ... I've have about a half dozen t-shirts with various images of the Buddha (plus Ganesh etc). Where did I buy them? In Thailand. Being sold openly in markets in Chiang Mai etc. Hmmm...

Looks like you're signing up for judge, jury, and executioner. Roach from the ME? Seriously?

The least the OP could do is to give us the unblurred photo, so we can judge for ourselves.

On the contrary, more blurred then pixelated would have been better. In fact, a simple vague description would have sufficed. I'm willing to trust the mainstream media on such things 🙂

Easy...have the msm said it was due to the vaccine?...NO.....so they must be covering up the fact it was.

Guess you must think you win every argument ... "if there's no evidence for my claim, there must be a cover-up"

Consider your words 'marked' ... now how do we verify if your prediction/assertion is true?

Why should I have to do a Google search to verify your implausible assertion it is "unethical to bathe with elephants"...you're the one who needs to justify your claim!   Elephants have strong ethical standards, now, do they?

You don't understand what 'domesticated' means. These are captive elephants. They are not domesticated. Domestication is a long process that involves selective breeding over many generations. That's how we turned wolves into dogs ... over thousands of years. Elephants have not been selectively bred long enough (if at all!) to be considered 'domesticated'. [Also note that true domestication usually also results in incidental changes to physical features ... we don't see this in captive elephants].

How much did the Russians pay for not getting arrested?

The 'Uzbeks' are probably Russians. I've been to Uzbekistan. The ethnic Uzbeks are Muslim, with all the baggage that goes with that. But many Uzbekistan citizens are ethnic Russians, and that's where you get this sort of thing.

Well, at least the money is going to 'The State', which clearly means it will be used for the betterment of Koh Samui and the well-being of its people... WAIT - wrong forum (wrong reality?)

East Turkestan or as the occupying Han maoist empire calls it Xinjiang, is actually a separate country, independant until the Chinese noticed "it has always been China, just like Tibet, most of the Pacific and and and...", ethnically NOT chinese, language very very different, not even same language family, and a long history of it's own, including an Indo-Iranian part that goes back min. 3500 years. An estimated 2 Million of them are currently in concentration camps for wearing beards, praying in public, standing on street corners or just looking suspicious, then working as slaves in the Chinese run cotton industry or at a VW factory in Xinjiang, a fact VW does not like published. Their flag is a bright blue with a white halfmoon and their language and ethnicity a turkmen-kasach origin. And if caught illegal or semilegal in Thailand they get deported to commie China where in general they are sooner or later sentenced to death for ....hmmm, usually being Uighur is enough. Maybe not if they wave the little red book .

The Chinese government is no doubt guilty of severe human rights abuses in Xinjiang, but the Chinese have had (an imperial) presence there for more than 2000 years, and the area was fully 'absorbed' into China in 1759. That's just 52 years after Scotland lost its independence in the Acts of Union. It's actually the same year that the French were cut off from Quebec in Canada, and the Canadiens were 'absorbed' into British North America. Many of Russia's non-ethnically-Russian republics were absorbed into Russia in the 19th century (and many willingly). Hawaiians were forced to join the US in that century as well. There are many instances around the world of peoples of different ethnicity/religion/culture being absorbed into larger nation-states, willingly or not, and many of the ones we don't question happened more recently than Xinjiang. 

Many years ago, my gf (at the time) and I went to Siem Reap with another couple and had some 'happy pizza' there. My gf ended up throwing up (bit of a buzzkill for me), but I was otherwise very happy. The other girl felt absolutely nothing. But the other guy had a strong paranoid reaction, believing there were Khmer Rouge guerillas prowling outside his hotel rooming window. It was his first time trying this, so maybe he just wasn't ready for it. He didn't mix with any prescription meds and he wasn't much of a drinker. Just goes to show different people can have very different reactions even when other meds aren't in the mix. I wonder if this was the first time for this lassie too...

Just wondering.If I was to gather a Thai,Cambodian, Filipino, Burmese and an Indonesian person together in a room,would you be able to point out with great confidence who the Thai person is?

Yep ... Filipino and Indonesian is sometimes a challenge because they are both Austronesian, but they can still often be distinguished (without hearing their accent). Cambodians, Thais, and Burmese all come from very different ancestral lines that are more distinct than those of western European nations. Then again, after being in SE Asia for 25 years, you pick these things up. At least throw in a Vietnamese and a Lao to make it more challenging!

I think you're making my point that Caucasian men's racial and ethnic prejudices have to a significant degree played a role in inculcating these same prejudices in Thais. The mechanism for this was spelled out in an earlier post. There's no way these biases are as entrenched in the general population as they are in sex tourism centers like Pattaya and Phuket. Here you are legitimizing these prejudices based on anecdotal accounts and hackneyed clichés about body odor, call center scams, 3 way sex negotiations, three straws in a can of pop. You seem to have some very outspoken opinions on this subject, and I can't help but wonder if you have ever voiced these opinions to any of your Thaifriendly "dates."

"There's no way these biases are as entrenched in the general population as they are in sex tourism centers like Pattaya and Phuket"

Fallacious reasoning. You're missing the key confound in your logic which is that it is mostly in these places where Thais will come into direct contact with these people so they are just as liable to form these impressions on their own without any prompting from Caucasians as you seem to suggest. I spend a lot of time in Singapore where there is a large South Asian worker population and only a relative handful of Caucasians, and the girls here (local, Filipina, Thai, Indonesian etc) will all talk about some of these issues re Indians (and not all Indian, mind you). So these 'stereotypes' are more the product of experience than the 'evil influence' of Westerners, as you would like to think.  

I suspect this was not his first head injury...
