Thais taking the law into their own hands because the wheel of justice turns slowly depending upon the amount of ‘grease ‘ applied.

Given the attitude of Chinese businesses towards their own country folks in China, it is just business as usual. No ultruistic attitude expected.

Again bad driving habits. Excuse of driving against traffic for years having no bad outcome is just an accident waiting to happen depending upon the oncoming vehicle’s driving habit. 99.9% safety only meant that out of 1000 times there is one time that you don’t make it. So if you drive as such for 3 years, there will be a time when you come up badly.

Thai drivers are not conscious of situational awareness and drive accordingly to the road situation. They just drive like they always do. Their reason? I have been driving like this for years and nothing bad happened to me until it does.

Probably he think not wrongly that using lawyers and throwing money at the problem will make it go away . The hell with other beach users. Thailand seem to attract such undesirables and white trash like flies attracted to garbage dumps.

How many people would not take something valuable left on a chair and owner had gone missing ? Would they take it to the authority for safe keeping until the rightful owner come to claim the belonging ? I think not. There are many Thais who are Buddhists in name but actually not practicing Buddhism. A good buddhist would not crave other people’s belonging and wouid accept their current life as their karma.

Thai culture of face saving and the concept of borrowing without repayment . Using the term borrowing is just a face saving term for grifting. You never see your money again. This happened to me from my kid’s teacher.

Losing face in public to a Thai is very embarrassing and losing all reasoning.

Why laughable ? Posting it online after having your way with her without her consent and respecting her privacy is deplorable and disgusting for a human being. Karma will bite him on the arse. Oh , it seems it already did.. enjoy his stay at the Hilton on the invitation of the royal police.

She did it in a fair exchange not scamming or robbing anybody. Being put in unwanted public spotlight without her consent is a violation of her basic human right. Person is just trying to make a living .

In Malaysia and other countries, the police are not so energetic in smashing crime syndicates in cyber scams so long as the victims are not from their (police) own countries. That is why Chinese scammers in foreign land scam their own country folks. Without the pressure of locals filing police reports, the police would only act upon the pressure from interpol or embassies . That is why there are Malaysians scammers operating out of myanmar or Cambodia to scam Malaysians, Chinese scammers operation out of Thailand , myanmar or Cambodia to scam fellow Chinese. thai scammers operating out of myanmar or Cambodia to scam Thais. Never or rarely do syndicate scammers scam within their own country. Thus scammers operating in Cambodia do not scam Cambodians, those in Myanmar do not scam myanmar citizens and so on. There seem to be an unwritten rule that you do not shxx onto the place you eat or sleep.

They are neither blind or stupid. They are just not caring for the ensuing problems when they cropped up because it is not their business to take care of. The problems go to other departments to resolve while they reap the benefits of open borders.

Visas would not be a problem for those Chinese criminals as I knew of some Chinese who entered with new passports even though they were deported recently. How they managed to evade the scrutiny is remarkable. There must be an underground network with set up businesses to facilitate these people. I also knew of some Thais who ventured into Cambodia often to work for their bosses in scams. They just come and go across the border. Seem to have no problem doing that.

Correct. I have a monk who has a van and volunteer driver to drive him to do home or new business blessings … monks need private transportation too not only public ones.

I think Thailand need economy of scale for EV to provide enough charging stations in both rural areas as well as cities.

Didn’t the Toyota Tacoma had issues with their engines recently with recalls?

Make those public transports such as tuk tuk , taxis and buses into Ev like some countries doing now. Air pollution would decrease dramatically.

The large F150 is not suitable for Thai roads especially the alleys that are too narrow for American truck. Sharp junctions also make the Soi travel stressful. I remembered my Japanese friend in Nagoya who imported the Benz S500 from America. Not only is it a LHD but is a headache everytime he travel along one of those small alleys in Nagoya.

My Australian friend had a F150 for pulling his horse carriage in Australia. I think it was right hand drive RHD version . I may be mistaken of course.

I remembered years ago when I was renovating my house. I wanted to reprimand one of the work crew but was told by the manager (a Chinese Thai) to reprimand him( manager) instead as he can take it. He informed me that local Thais had a short fuse and big face mentality and he cannot ensure my safety with so many tools lying around the project.

Thais have the propensity to fly off the handle with their short fuse and massive face saving culture. act first and regret later is their motto.

Again due to huge number of monks in Thailand, the delinquent few managed to tarnish the reputation of the masses. I suggest that Thai authorities punish the guilty ones heavily for their misplaced trust of the public. Double whammy is a good start.

After living in Thailand for almost 30 years, I would say Thais are generally a decent bunch with some exceptions. Thailand is much better than some South American countries . Their pragmatic give and take attitude is also commendable.

Thais do not contribute out of goodness in their hearts. They will only contribute if it is for the making of their merits as to temples. There are too many senseless accidents by their own people on Thai roads as it is.

The law is the law. Unwelcome touching of female sex organs be it breast or arse is just that. Sexual assault. Just hope the presiding judge take a kinder look in sentencing the guy.
