    Please tell me the ambulance guy isn't doing the pointy thing?! Unfortunate accident, but it is likely this occurred due to planting the wrong trees and the bad practice of indiscriminate pollarding by folk who don't know what they're doing. 

    Of. course. A tree falls and it's chalk it up to Thai ignorance. Do you ever stop and listen yon yourself? Pathetic. But TIF

    Years ago when i was in Germany i read an article from a criminal inspector. He was complaining about the lack of autopsies being carried out, especially on older people who died at home with their family. His comment was if a candle was lit in a graveyard in any Bavarian town for those who had been murdered by their families for the inheritance the graveyard would be as bright as day.

     

    The maintenance of useless old people is a modern phenomenon.  Not that long ago it was rare for people to live into old age.  And if they did make it that far, past their ability to  maintain themselves and contribute to the family, they were not so subtly asked to wander off or remain behind.

     

    The Chinaman was just doing the right thing.

    That is true and most of it is workplace / locker room banter.  

    There is also a lot of experience on TVF.

     

    I noticed you didn't specify what kind of experience. Burned & bitter through their own misadventures. Now wallowing in cynicism and smug superiority to the people they have chosen to live among. Lacking the balls to get the fk out.

     

    experience is one thing. What you take from is it a completely different animal.

    I doubt that there is a Thai standard for safety railings;    They should be waist high (farang) .     Obviously missed by the Building Inspector before hand-over. 

     

    Yeah and my back aches every time I do the dishes. Why don't the Thai get with the program and design everything to Barang standards? The unmitigated nerve to set everything up to suit their own body size!

    This is ridiculous, I have worked in education on 4 different continents, and never in any country except Thailand would gross misconduct (basically criminal behaviour against a child) be not only accepted by either the school directors, parents, or relevant educational / law enforcement authorities.

    It is simply scandalous for a school's management to sit idly by and allow their staff to abuse the students in such a way without any sanction at all.  By the teacher in question's own words, the assaulted student was behind in mathematics, so surely this would shake a professional teacher into action and bring them to take the student to one side and provide some one to one guidance around different methods the student could use. Shame should be heaped on all parties (except the boy) as the precedent set here is disgusting to put it mildly.

     

    Jesus Christ!! Another pathetic SJW. I think you'll find corporal punishment common throughout Asia not just here. And common not that long ago in the West.

     

    so easy to point crooked fingers frmo afar. Much harder to act in the middle of real-life situations.
