The bourgeoisie strike again

Tourists doing the job of the Thai gov't...maybe the article should be "Tourists save Loris's (or lori?) from drunk Thais"?

What I understand from this scumbag is "if they didn't shut off my electric and lock my doors from nonpayment of bills, we would have been able to survive." Scumbag

Ah badminton, the lazy mans tennis

Anchor!

Whoops ......................................... missed the W off.

Ah, you meant <deleted>? What's that? I think you meant <deleted>, as in "You are a <deleted>"

Ah badminton, the lazy mans tennis

No offence, but I don't think you have any idea. Ain't talking about the game that the little kids play on the street in front of the house or the game you may have played as a kid (somewhere in the west maybe?). Ain't nuthin' "lazy" about pro badminton. The young people I know that play do so for 1 or 2 ... hard ... hours, 1, 2 and sometimes 3 x a week.

You might be right. I've played against some good people in Thailand, and it was fun (not kids and def not like when I was young)

Ah badminton, the lazy mans tennis

Play against a professional and let me see if you can actually back that claim up.

Are you professional? Do you know one?

Ah badminton, the lazy mans tennis

Ever played either?

Sure have, played tennis since preschool and badminton only in elementary school and Thailand.

Too bad these aren't the Thaksin days...low life's like this deserve nothing but the chopping block for the amount of misery they spread

Wow a true democrat a human rights advocate! This is offer and demand. nobody forces anyone to consume, it's a personal decision (and IMO governments and laws should respect the people choice)

Right, I agree with you. And if you also take a complacent attitude with misery, I'll say you're a true humanitarian as well. So what does being a democrat and a human rights advocate have to do with my disgust of heroin and the misery it spreads? Please, enlighten me with your views

Your hardline stance only shows your lack of education and humanity. Perhaps one day one of your family member will experience heroin as so many have. Good or bad I do not think you are qualified to respond

And your mediocre, blighted, complacent stance and purely judgmental attitude show's your just as bad as the person you think I am. While I'm sickened that you wish someone in my family would experience heroin as so many have, I would never wish you or the mother who taught you so poorly any ill fate.

I think they just provided the prime example of why people talk about this stuff. The gov't just admitted to scaring the people into submission. Talk about lowlife, thug mentality. Hope the people speak out even louder now!

I thought they had some big rice deals with Iran and a few other countries to help out? Watch the elite run off with the emergency fund when the time comes

Thailand has always been America's little BCH when it comes to military affairs

This id the joke of the day! 5555555

Thailand, the hub if b.s.

Disgusting how Thai Buddhists treat their natural resources and animals. I'll bet Buddha is doing an epic face palm over Thailand!

If a taxi doesn't want to bring me where I want or wants a fixed price, I leave the back door open and walk away to the next taxi

Works well, especially in rain cos they get soaked hehe

Good! I do the same, and I've never had one brave enough to come yet. But I'm also not scared of a scuffle! Keep up the good work!

That's only for Asia. Tripadvisor had a survey for too 10 destinations in the world, and no Asian city made the list...

Here's an idea, now remember it's just an idea...why don't they try picking up customers and working instead trying to cherry pick everyone? Then they can make their $15 a day...

What an ugly comment!

Ugly comment for an ugly reality

Sad story, but driving in Thailand is a gamble no matter what or where you drive. It is the 6th most dangerous country to drive in of all countries around the world, and I assume it's not 100% because of the farang's driving habits...

Driving a car, elephant, boat, scooter, bike and also walking, drinking, sleeping and using public transportation is a gamble in the LOS especially if you are a Farang.

This ought to be interesting:

Why is it especially dangerous to be a Farang?

Because Farang aren't used to the Thai driving habits, we didn't grow up with the wreckless driving habits as the locals do. At least not where I'm from, we have penalties and repercussions to our bad actions. Might be different for others depending on where you're from (Russian dash cam videos are funny).

I'm from the US, and I've never heard of this before. Pathetic attempt to make something important from something mundane.
