"Additional economic data shows 99.9% of Thai people have less that 10 million baht in bank accounts."

BHT10 million is about US$300k! Even tho it's 99.9%, it's still relatively not that bad compared to "The 2018 Retirement Savings survey found that 42 percent of Americans have less than $10,000 saved."

Thai logic.....A two storied house diagonal from us

That's just seller logic, in general. Not specifically only Thai.

Where?  I've walked around D-troit at night, 125th Street in Harlem, West Dallas, certain parts of Denver, Chicago, the Tenderloin, Hollywood and I've driven through East Saint Louis, Compton, South Central.  Just normal people going about their business and I'm white as a ghost.

 

The White Trash areas of Thailand are Pattaya, Bangkok, Phuket & Chiang Mai.

 

 I'm sure you'll fit in if you make an effort mate, crikey ?

Maybe you were just lucky? On average (e.g. for every 100 late night visits), a person would have a higher chance of getting assaulted/mugged/shot in those US hoods than in Pattaya, BKK, Phuket, CM.

Damn!

You can't be serious. Bangkok, while not overly dangerous, is hardly the safest city on Earth or even close to it.

True...but safer than most major cities, like NYC, for example.

Crime in south american countries is much more serious then what you are used to in se asia.

Definitely much more serious than in Singapore, Malaysia, etc.

at my current rate of spending it would give me 12 months or 1.00 years.

You have the wrong thread.

Look for 'What are the biggest lies foreigners tell in Thailand ?'

Maybe not. He could've meant in dog years.

As long as expats don't go attacking Thais & other Asians with knives and screwdrivers, it should be ok.

Looking forward to riding on the Baht Bus with all those fat Russians

You'll be the only fare paying customer then. I've seen so many Russian punks just get off without paying.

Most of thew Russians around my area are not tourists. They are involved in the 2 age old Russian professions of cyber-crime, and prostitution. (And they are not fat...)

pls provide additional info/details regarding these non-fat russian girls?

Okay lets do the survey scientifically and ask a representative sample per country with each sample reflecting the population of each country in relation to total world population. In such a study the US and cronies will have 1/7 of the votes and China Africa and India 3/7 and lets look at the results. Surveys are not worth the paper they are written on.

When did Africa became a country?

Why would there be protests similar to Ferguson?

A person was convicted for murder.

This had nothing to do with police actions.

True enough - no police involved.

However, if the victim was black or moslem and the killer white non moslem then there would probably have been allegations of racist or religious motivation.

It does seem that in some Western countries the words racists and religious bigots are only applied to white non moslem people - regardless of whether they are Atheist, Christian, Jew or whatever.

Actually, a lot of times, if the victim was Asian, authorities don't label the crime racially motivated either.

Too bad prices in BKK are at least double what I paid here in US for Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey (5 lb for $58).

How is it double? https://www.phukethealthshop.com/#!/5lb-2-35kilo-Optimum-Nutrition-Gold-Standard-Whey-Protein/p/1461113/category=664924

$78 and you must consider the ridiculous shipping and import duties you would pay if ordering from USA.

Thanks for the info, but I said "prices in BKK", not prices in TL. Phuket is not BKK.

Can you image if this happen to a Aussie in Israel The Australian Government the UN and most of the world will go crazy

But Saudi Arabia nothing

Wake up soon

But I doubt that they will

What has this to do with Israel?

I'm surprised China hasn't been mentioned yet. Usually, it is whenever there's negative news...either related or unrelated.

Thailand trying to attract more quality tourists

Fat russian and rude pushy Chinese

Wow keep up the good work Thailand

Can't be worse than drunk & overweight sexpats who are full of themselves right?

I was proud to read that only 3 Thai males had entered into the assault...instead of the usual 20 or so mobbing him...

Had this been certain parts of NYC, he'll have the whole hood mobbing him...plus Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson.

More mob violence by a group of Thais.

The "victim" likely had something to do with starting the incident. In TL, if you don't seek trouble, rarely does trouble seek you.

So much for innocent until proven guilty.

You bunch a hangman are a bad as they come. Who knows what state he was in when he fell asleep? who knows how he was treated when awoken? His physical state shows abuse or worse. Hope I never get caught in the wrong place at the wring time.

Yeah...he should sue the policeman for his leg attacking his teeth.

The victim's shirt might have enraged Pattaya's bouncers.

Most likely thet the thugs couldn't read what was on the T shirt - whether it was in English or Thai!

"thet" is not a word in English or Thai either.

It is possible she simply panicked big time and it escalated out of control. In Africa you might be wise not to stop in case of a road accident, even when it is against the law, you drive directly to your embassy and then report.

I could be wrong, but the last time I checked, Thailand is not in Africa.

Wreaking havoc ain't cool. Looks like it could be a technical problem of the car as well though.

Of course, it could be a technical problem, since she's a Westerners. Had she been Asian, you would've gone with the bad driver stereotype.

......The word hate crime is never used when blacks go on a rampage of looting and killing white shopkeepers! It's always one sided.

True dat.

I remember awhile back here there where a few killings/murders of Asian deliveryman by blacks. They would make an order from a takeout place, then ambush the deliveryman. No mention of hate crimes by the media and prosecutors, since the perps were black.

any politicians that takes money from any lobbyist should be locked up. The whole system is set up for corruption.

Get Xi Jinping on there a$$e$.

When he took over, Singapore had a per capita income of less than the poorest African countries. In one generation, it has the 3rd highest in the world. RIP LKY.

The median salary is very low, the median quality of life is below first world, similar to that of Malaysia. Singapore looks first world on outside, but that is as far as it goes. Anyone who believes the hype is just naive and ignorant.

Anyone who doesn't believe he made a tremendous difference in the lives of Singaporeans is even more naive and ignorant.
