As I suspected. Driving a multi-million baht car in a country with 90% poverty indicates the person is likely filth, whatever the nationality.

When I was teaching, I tried to teach the word 'stereotype' and the associated concept. However, like the OP found it is just not a concept that the average Thai can get their head around. I think you need a western cultural background to understand the concept. It is not really how Thai people think.

I don't think its that Thai people do not understand stereotypes, its that its so hardwired here it is just life. Putting a word on it makes no sense as they assume it is just universal truth.

There is a well stocked second hand buy and sell book shop about 100 metres west up Sukhumvit from the Robin Hood pub near Phrom Pong BTS.

They are easy to find and not very expensive, but sadly the books are in no order and its impossible to search for anything, you can only browse...

school of "technology" that cannot build a proper website.... What's that tell you?

Considering last year a Thai assistant principle was recorded hitting a student, as well as trying to get him to show him his penis, this story sounds very likely.

Likely MOE, but the school should secure this for you.

Expect to get flagged by customs. The price is up to whoever finds your package.

Aggressive and rude posts? Arrested and taken away.

Kill people in your car? Nothing

Well, as long as you kill someone who is not important.

At least they were robbing rich people...those who can afford it. 555

Latest Update:

Spent over 3 hours at the Tourist police looking at camera footage and saw myself park exactly where i said at around 2.39am but, I also saw myself leave at 4.41 am, and head down towards Hooters and turn right towards the beach.

This is something i didn't know happened as i met some guy who was buying my Jack cokes and must have been pretty intoxicated.

I knew i went to several night clubs in Bangla Rd, but didn't realise i left half way thru and rode around along the beach past Bangla on the other side and turned right into a street where i parked at the rear of the VIP Room night club. This is where i found the PCX, in the same condition i left it and with the new Honda helmet on the handlebar.

The Thai tourist police where great. Big thanks to them and everyone here for the help and feedback.

The camera's do work and they keep footage for a fair amount of time because today is the 26th and i lost the bike on the 15th.

Happy ending. A GPS tracking device would have come in real handy.

Mystery solved. Drunk idiot driving around at 5am. How cliche. Would have been better if it was stolen, then less likely you kill someone driving drunk.

The guy just lost his girlfriend and maybe saw when a truck rolled over her body. And there are people who talk about alcohol, speeding and other nonsense?

How do you live with such a tragic accident? And does it turn you on when you write something bad about a guy who's already fragged?

I was drunk quite a few times on a big bike and speeding. I only had good luck that nobody died.

RIP to the deceased.

Bragging that you drive drunk? Wow. you get the @%%$*(# of the week award. Notice how deviants always defend always deviants?

LOL, the Thai bashers get so frustrated when its a Thai on Thai crime. They don't know who to blame.

Isn't filing a defamation suit here the same as admitting guilt? amazing Thailand.

Fake monk yesterday at Asoke, stick his bowl in tourists' faces, trying to get money. And yes, amazing Thai people all look the other way...

Someone needs to tell Seagal that he's not Asian. Mind you, he's getting there with the black hair dye.

I hear that Seagal is an arrogant douche. The junta will love him.

The gut is an epic level of a@@hole. He needs to come to Thailand to try to get attention. Ever notice how he trades his picture for free suits at the Indian shops on Sukhumvit?

I used to work for Stamford. I found the mgmt, to be clueless and disinterested, but the programs were decent and the students had reasonable expectations. It is not the degree mill it used to be and students are expected to work. The school in BKK has almost no services a university should have, but the academics are generally taken seriously.

I grew up in Minnesota, where Prince was a staple. His music has been the soundtrack for much of my life. He certainly did contribute to the art.

Seems pretty straight forward. What opinions are you seeking?

A few agencies in BKK that can travel up country. Google.

When you get drunk and drive 200 kph, you should expect to kill someone. I hope the charges stick.

I think you would be better off with a farang teacher who also speaks Thai. Most Thai English speakers do not speak very good English.

If we live here we have to accept that for 2-3 days every idiot, local and tourist, can do whatever they want (police responded? amazing, but good on them). For songkran its best to leave the country or lock yourself in the house. For those of us who have to go to work and responsibilities, there is no good answer.

If you cannot afford to live in Thailand off your Canadian money, how can you live in Canada? Maybe get a job?

"farang was obviously on steroids and did not look like some fool." 555, this says alot about the OP. Anytime tourist fools are forced to face their actions is a good thing.

Rules for idiots #14. Don't rape mafia daughters.
