Sign language

 

Telepaths!

This ubiquitous use of the word foreigner is grating. Why not name the nationality? I'm fairly certain it is known, at least much of the time. 

In addition, I lived in China for a time and seeing people squatting in wide open public areas and peeing or taking a dump, was normal. I was eating at a sidewalk place once and a lady walked by with her toddler. Their pants are usually split from back to front so they don't have to pull them down. She stopped right beside my table and the kid squatted and crapped on the sidewalk. She wiped his butt, threw the tissue on the ground and they continued along. I took pictures and the Chinese people eating around me thought I was the weird one.

A lone female, on a solo tour with someone she doesn't know.... what could possibly go wrong? 

Sad but true. When people put themselves in vulnerable positions and bad stuff happens......I hope they throw the guy away. 

Man, who writes this crap? It reads like a really bad Harlequin Romance novel.

With a population of nearly 72 millions and buss going everywhere day and night such accidents, by statistics, are bound to happen, 

good thing it doesn't happened too often...

Sorry, but using this logic you'd expect 4 times as many crashes in the USA as happen in Thailand. I can't recall the last time a  bus crashed in America. It's all about regulations and maintenance. Sure, the bus looks pretty, but when was the last time the tires and brakes were checked? Not too mention the drivers......

I'm not one for victim blaming, but in this case I'll make an exception. That guy is an idiot and did an idiotic thing. Zero sympathy from me.

I find it challenging to believe people believe in that crap in the 21st Century. I could understand if you're a Yanomamo or a Sentinalese, but in an industrialized country?

Absolutely right , they operating in many Western countries too and have been for years .

China has a secret cop shop in Vancouver keeping track of Canadian Chinese. I can't be the only one like this.

Dude's lucky the cops got to him before the Thais rounded up a gang with machetes!

In the Japanese guy's defence, Japan is a hyper honest country. It's possible he brought his encultured bias with him and felt Thais were honest too. Big mistake.

The last refuge of the uneducated unintelligent masses is violence. They lack the capacity to deal with situations on an intellectual basis. Thus, violence is their means of communication. If you want to put an end to this behaviour, education is the key.

The inability to reason with reality... explode, maim, kill is the culture.

Possibly think later.

Two key words in your theory: possibly and think LOL

incident unfolded...quickly deduced...seeking help....

Seriously, who writes this drivel? 

You have to bribe your way into the army? Man, what a screwed up society.

I don't understand, where does the lottery number frenzy come into play?

Wasn't this Big Joke guy turfed out for corruption not too long ago? Why is he back?

This ridiculous new policy could have been completely unnecessary if Thailand had thought about how to go about legalising pot in even the slightest way. But they didn't, because that would have been smart!

Look at Canada as a shining example of how to go about it the correct way. 

Also, what does re-submit really mean? Are we talking envelope thickness???

My gf does.

For now, like they all did...until the ring is on the finger that is. Then it's an entirely different world. I'm coming up on 16 years married and it's basically been a roller coaster ride with almost no flat spots. 

Thus story sounds a little fishy to me. What guy goes to Thailand and snags a 31 year old bar girl?

Ni hao......

I Would like to know what more serious case than this one. ????

By serious they meant either:

A) Someone more important 

B) Someone with more money 

C) A friend or relative 

Blood clots from broken bones leading to death are not uncommon.  A first year medical student knows this. 

Honestly,  I dont think so. I think true, altruistic  love is so rare it is virtually impossible to have. Everyone has an agenda. Things may start out perfect, they usually do, but things change because people change.

There's an old maxim that is an uncomfortable truism.

Men marry a woman hoping she'll never change. 

Women marry a man hoping he will change.

I've been married to my Lao wife for almost 14 years.  Both facets hold away.

Thank you. I have "Liked" and sent them a message.

I was a practicing Master Mason and member of Eastern Star Lodge #51 in Canada. But since moving to Laos in 2006 I have obviously been separated from brethren. Masonry is illegal in Laos and there are no lodges. I know there are some in Thailand but I wonder if there are any Freemasons on this forum who would like to help me get back on the square from which I have drifted away.
