Man Burns Down House in Martial Dispute

So not a very cunning plan on his part. -
Student Narrowly Escapes Sexual Assault Outside Residence

He's not very good at the gentle art of seduction but at least he asked, unsurprisingly she said no. No means no but he knows that now. -

Chiang Mai Monk in Car Accident Raises Driving Debate

Was the monk tested for spiritual practices at the hospital? -
While I agree that platitudes don't help what do you expect the government to do? There is still a worldwide industrial slowdown, every country is affected, it's the normal capitalist cycle of boom and bust where even such production giants as China are affected. The situation is made worse by the many geopolitical flash points around the world as well as global warming, in fact it's the first time that looming recessions have occurred in such a coordinated manner throughout the whole world, normally there would be one unaffected block that could help the rest to recover but not this time. The world has had an unprecedented long boom time so I anticipate a long down time, things will recover eventually, they always do, but when, 2, 3, 5 years?

Thai Police Officer Removed After Allegedly Bribing Japanese Youtuber
soalbundy replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Survival is a basic instinct. One of the bar girls on koh Samui told me that during the last week of the month a young police officer would regularly come round to the rooms where the girls lived to ask for food, not money, they would let him join in with their communal meal, this was the only interaction that they had with him. -

From a legal standpoint yes but this will no doubt have ramifications on his professional life, organizations don't like scandals. -

Which could be stopped if they were paid a living wage as America found out during prohibition where bribery reached such epic proportions that politicians and judges were being bribed, this was brought under control when the police pay was significantly increased. -
Bangkok monk faces backlash for flaunting lavish lifestyle
soalbundy replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
In Europe in the middle ages Catholic priests sold plenary indulgences to reduce your sins so that your punishments would be reduced on judgement day, I think that is the same mode of thinking here. I think that the vast numbers of monks take their vows seriously but one only hears of the black sheep. Buddhism in Thailand is a branch of its own, the teachings are mixed with animism and superstition probably to match the hedonistic mentality of the Thais, my wife says that the true teachings of Buddha are taught at the temple services but I rather think they go over the heads of the village people where fear of black magic still reigns. -

Foreigner Assaulting Thai Woman on Walking Street in Pattaya

I think I almost know what you mean, if you don't ask for permission to photograph a local when he, for instance is sweating his guts out for a pittance because you think it looks soooo original, you may end up with a bunch of fives in your north and south. -

I doubt Thailand will be hit with secondary sanctions, there is a lot of western money tied up here and Thailand is ant-communist, a peaceful bulwark in Asia, the west wont want to endanger that. Thailand has always been pragmatic in its international politics, any perceived danger of secondary sanctions would bring about a quick reaction to change their policies just enough to avert danger without antagonizing the other parties unduly, their foreign office has a long tradition of clever diplomacy.

Man up (if you'll pardon the expression) this took place in a bar full of drunk hookers at 4:30 in the morning in Pattaya, sounds normal for the place to me. -

Your estrogen levels are too high, drunk hookers, drunk punter, 4:30 in the morning in a bar.........the altercation sounds quite normal, why are you getting your knickers in a twist. -
Foreigner Assaulting Thai Woman on Walking Street in Pattaya
soalbundy replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
It would appear from those who had seen the video that apart from some pushing and shouting by the hookers trying to prevent him from leaving nobody was 'assaulted', it seems from many 'concerned' posters here that not only the hookers were hysterical. -
Foreigner Assaulting Thai Woman on Walking Street in Pattaya

If she hadn't filmed him she'd have nothing to complain about....and nothing sensational to post on facebook but there you go, you lose some you win some. She is a little wiser now though, don't get in an angry man's face when he is having a fight....but she knows that now and I am sick of this topic. -
Foreigner Assaulting Thai Woman on Walking Street in Pattaya
soalbundy replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
I was being sarcastic, one often reads about asking the indigenous people for permission before taking a picture, here was the reverse happening. Of course he wouldn't have agreed so why get in his face, he was clearly agitated and possibly drunk. If she was looking for something sensational to post to the world she got it but hey don't complain if it goes wrong, getting too close to fighting dogs can get you bitten, common sense. -
