This reminds me of the time I visited Korat to run the marathon. Got there a few days before and decided to see what sort of night life it had. Met a couple of girls in a bar and they suggested we go to a beer bar type place with live music. A few hours later our table size had grown from 3 of us to around 20. All ordering bottles of whiskey and I could see that nobody was paying for drinks as they were ordered. I joined in the fun for a few more hours but at the front of my mind was the knowledge that I would eventually be stuck with this huge bill. So I did what any self respecting guy would do... I went to the toilet, slipped out the side door and with a smug grin, stumbled back to my hotel.

Anybody got a link to the uncensored video?

Christ Church at the corner of Sathorn Road and Convent Road is your best bet. That's a Church of England church. There's also Holy Redeemer Catholic Church on Soi Ruamrudee close to Ploenchit BTS.

I have the exact same symptoms. Started out with a sore throat and aching joints. Then a day later coughing started and throat got worse. Gradually my throat got better but coughing has become really bad. Hospital tested for flu, covid etc etc and xray for pneumonia. Diagnosed with bronchitis and given a ton of medication. Phenylephrine 1 tab 2 x per day Japrolox 1 tab 3 x per day Prednisolone 2 tabs 2 x per day Darflox antibiotic 2 tabs 2 x per day Reducof Lozenge tab 3 x per day Ropect 1 tab 3 x per day Nac Long effervescent 1 tab 2 x per day Tussis Mixture 5ml 3 x per day

Whenever I have to get a taxi close to Nana bts on a Friday night, I expect that they will try to not put the meter on. The last time I was there, I had a driver who tried to kill me... through shock. He actually put the meter on without me even having to ask. At the end of the journey I gave him the usual cost without the meter. Sometimes it pays to be honest.

I can imagine it would look like a scene from Weekend at Bernies.

Confusing abuse and fear with discipline. I can't imagine a child who is regularly 'spanked' as their sole form of discipline, lacking in fear of that parent. Sure it might change the child's behaviour, but at what cost? If somebody were to regularly hit me, I'd be pretty scared of them. As for no research... Here's some bedtime reading for you. https://www.gse.harvard.edu/ideas/usable-knowledge/21/04/effect-spanking-brain https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3447048/ https://srcd.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/cdev.13565 This study totally refutes everything you say. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/corporal-punishment-and-health "Parents who were physically punished as children are more likely to physically punish their own children."

Excellent post. You make a very valid point about the, "my old man/teacher used to beat me and it did no harm, wo I'll do the same". It quite clearly has done them harm as it has now instilled the belief that it is acceptable for a grown man to hit children. These types of people are a danger to children who need love, support and guidance from the key adults in their lives, not a "healthy sense of fear". I ask those people, show the evidence and research that proves physical punishment of children has positive outcomes. I'll save you the time. Not a single study has shown this. Research HAS shown that children who are beaten have increased levels of anti social behaviour, associations with mental health problems (depression, anxiety), slower cognitive development and it adversely affects academic achievement.

I totally understand your point. My point was that if you did give him a crack, you'd get worse. Yet some (most likely the elderly generation) still believe that, "it didn't do me any harm so we should be able to go round hitting naughty kids". It's not their fault though that they have this mindset. They know no better.

Give the kid a slap in front of his mates and I can almost guarantee he WILL bring a gun into school and shoot you.

You're partially right about what is causing the wave of youth stabbings. You think it's because parents don't batter their kids anymore. It's not. It's for 2 reasons. It's because parents batter their kids for the most trivial of reasons to the point that it becomes abusive as that's the only way they know how to 'control' children and those kids grow up seeing violence as being acceptable. It's also, and you're right about this, a lack of discipline. Parents are too absorbed in their own lives, smartphones, social media, reality TV, drunk, drugged up and focused on their latest boyfriend/girlfriend to give their kids any real positive love and attention, to have conversations with them about morals and what's right and what's wrong. I spent 7 years working in a school in Leeds where I would see kids getting battered and being called an 'effing muppet' at the school gates every afternoon for having dirty clothes, cos it meant that mum had to wash them. Or kids whose parents were never involved, allowing them to do what they want, when they want including kids swearing at parents without any consequence because 'it's too much hard work to discipline them and it's the school's job to do that'. As I said before, it's lazy parenting. These kids had absolutely no chance in life except to get away from those families as soon as possible, which some of them have been able to do and are living happy, successful lives. Many others though are in prison.

My kids are 12 and 8 yrs old. So not in prison for GBH and it's highly doubtful they ever will be. They're really nice kids and definitely not spoilt. But yeah, at times, they can be little <deleted>s annoying the hell out of each other. However, they are able to accept when I say no which is actually very often and they get plenty of discipline. Just not beatings. That is lazy parenting from people who are not educated enough to have the skill set to find other ways of controlling kids. It's also abuse. You wouldn't hit your adult child for doing the wrong thing. So why would you think it's acceptable to hit a child? THAT'S JUST SICK! You might not realise this, but there are many other ways to discipline a child without having to resort to violence and smacking. I was able to teach my children from a very young age that when I say there will be a consequence, I mean it. E.g When my boy was about 4 or 5, we were going to Lumphini park, him on his scooter and me walking. I told him to stop when he gets to roads/sois. We came to 1 soi and he didn't so I gave him a warning that if he does it again, we would not go to the park and he'd have to walk all the way back home. Came to another soi and he didn't stop. So I stayed true to my word and we went back home. I explained why he got the consequence and didn't give in to his tears. He never did it again and from then on he knew that if I say there will be a consequence, then there will be. A cruel person such as my mum of old and yourself would have given him a smack and then when he cried, told him that he'd be given something to really cry about when we got home. Again, that would be lazy parenting. And yes, for a grown adult (and a man at that) to whack a child IS disgusting.

My mum used to beat me for the most trivial of things e.g falling in the river after building a rope swing across it and I still <deleted> hate her for it. Plus, it never stopped me from building swings every summer. All it did was teach me how NOT to raise children. I'm proud to say I've never hit my 2 children and I never will. Sure they can be a pain in the arse at times and get up to mischief but they're defenceless kids who need adults to model acceptable behaviour. NOT to teach them that it's ok to smack someone if you're angry with them.
