As someone else said, knowing what the corruption is like here how can there possibly be 90 plus countries which are worse? it beggars belief.....

eats on the floor

 

Heat rises.  Sitting on the floor is cooler than sitting higher up.

 

Thai Custom.

 

Don't you come from a country that has unique customs?  Lederhosen? Vegemite sandwiches?  Etc, etc, etc

And that's why we have chairs, in cold old Europe sitting on the floor would be too cold for at least 6 months of the year. a short cut to rheumatism and arthritis, not good for the life expectancy.....

Well I finished Far Cry 5 but the ending left me a bit disappointed..like what did I just do all that for?

Besides the wonky ending I got bored about 3/4 of the way through once I'd mastered the game mechanics and nothing really posed a challenge. However it's an entertaining fps and the chaotic combat is good fun.  I have no desire to replay it right now though.

There are so many great games I haven't played however I just ordered Bloodborne
 

 

That's the trouble with the far cries, I'm about 2/3 of the way through 3, 4 & primal & just can't quite summon the energy to finish any of them. I get this with a lot of games, shadow of morder and witcher wild hunt spring to mind as well....

I'm currently playing Monster Hunter World. 

Is it any good? I'm thinking of buying that once the price has come down a bit more...

God, yet another one...

I have not. I order frequently, always COD, and so far 100% have arrived either on time or early.

Well your branch obviously has good workers then, I've had this happen in 2 completely different provinces, neither Bangkok so maybe it just happens in the sticks...

And the powers that be hate it, all over the world as it's far more difficult for them to control what people hear and think.

 I myself think that this is a good thing because control of the narrative has been in the hands of too few and getting fewer people for far too long...

One thing that I've noticed is, when I buy something from Lazada, if I've paid for it up front it always arrives on time, If I order something COD, a lot of the time it doesn't turn up. I don't think that this is Lazada, What I've decided is happening is that Kerry & other delivery services workers can't be bothered with the hassle of collecting the money, so they just return the item without even trying to deliver it... 

 Has anyone else had this experience?

Awful, I have no words for this.....

So those brown envelopes obviously went to the right people then......

So who's going to do the punishing then? the BIB? 

A lot of this is Thai culture idolizing and spoiling boys from a young age, little Emperor syndrome, they grow up with huge egos expecting their every wish to be forfilled for them by their families, and when it doesn't happen, they don't know how to deal with it. It's the same with their relationships, girlfriend falls out with them & they are completely unequipped to handle it, give them a gun & you all know what happens next. I deal with the beginnings of this in the junior school where I work with the rich kids in the English program, they just break into teenage hood & luckily for me leave for their next school just before they become completely unbearable.

 I don't know what the answer is to this, as Thais will not admit to having faults, especially anything to do with their "culture", so nothing changes & they keep killing each other & dieing for the most stupid in our eyes reasons...

                                   very sad indeed.....

This is a nonsense report.

 

People get sick long term , they do not seek hospitals immediately. It can take weeks, months and you can get a chronic illness. Too many particles in the air , you inhale it and the lungs will suffer. 

 

"Exposure to such particles can affect both your lungs and your heart. Long-term exposure to particulate pollution can result in significant health problems including: Increased respiratory symptoms, such as irritation of the airways, coughing or difficulty breathing. Decreased lung function. "

 

 

Which pretty well guarantees that nothing will be done about it, Thais don't think long term, anything past the end of the month might as well be a lifetime away......

Where do they learn all this "loss of face" & vengeance from? 

I actually make this a whole topic in my class and dissuade my students from even trying to think about it!

Does the Thai culture teach something about "loss of face"-"vengeance"-"dead" as the ultimate solution and positive "afterlife" or does Buddhism?

This insanity needs a cure.

I think that a lot of La Korn soaps and Thai pop song videos have this in the storyline, I'm sure it doesn't help. It is getting insane here, there seems to be one reported almost every day....

govt plans to give all newborns mobile phones with unlimited gaming , facebook and Thai tv soap access

That'd keep them nicely brainwashed, no danger of revolutionary thoughts there then...

Back in the 50's when I was a kid we had government day care nursery's could have been free in the UK

Our grandparents also had pensions to live on, they didn't have to rely on handouts from their kids....

The Grandparents stop looking after the kids, the parents pay for daycare And don't have any money left to send any to their parents who are left trying to live on the huge government pension of 500 Baht/month.

  Sounds really well thought out, not.....
