What about thai songs and video clips that show young girl dancing obscenely....where young people take inspiration ? Maybe it would be wise to look at the cause of it, where they took example from ?!

Prevention works better than repression

I m against death sentence because it goes against the boudhist laws...

Hypocrite! Nothing else to say...

Here is his last post on his FB page : " I beg you all to please stop sharing my story. I am starting to get verbally attacked and many people talking so bad. I mean farang on some sites. Who ever started this whole thing tried to help but sadly I am so upset now. I just wanted to sell a few burgers and make people happy. Now I am like a prisoner. It's all too much. " source : https://www.facebook.com/NonameburgerTH/

I don't think it's safer than Europe, where I currently live. I've lived in many countries, and in the Bronx, and the only place I've heard and seen gunshots is Thailand. My own weddings was cut short because of fights, people throwing tables, and the in-laws were fearing a gunfight.

 I agree that I could be wrong on that one.

Where did I say that only farang drink and drive ?

You can get assistance for reading difficulties.

Here is a farang, who, because of his disdain of the law, has destroyed numerous lives, his own included.

Would he have done the same in Liverpool ? I very much doubt it. 

What I mean is that there are also thai people driving reckless and drunk .... not only Farang...bad choice of words...not bad reading... Yes he would do the same in Liverpool, does Liverpool have drunk drivers ?! I think so...it s everywhere in the world that some people ( not only farang) break the laws...
 

I guess mathematics is not part of Thai Life ! ( still need a calculator for 57thb + 20thb....true story)

Maybe a message to the many other farangs who drink and drive over here, thinking, if I get caught, I'll pay a fine and walk away.

It would be an automatic jail sentence in the West.

 Yeah you are right...only farang drink and drive...

Tourists should be required to have proper insurance coverage. 

This would be "thievery". What about freedom ? Insurance are expensive, and has a lot of exception. They are the thieves! 
The whole thing could be much more simple : if a patient can't pay. just send the bill to the right embassy who will follow up to the tourist in their own country...
The girl is actually lucky that she's got admitted....because if you can't pay, they won't take care of you...not like in our (my) country where they MUST take care of you even if you can't pay. ( they don't check that before anyway and if you can'tt they will find a way : monthly payement, or in 2-3 times).
I remember the story of a man, in Thailand, who lost two fingers. He came to the hospital with his two fingers in a bag with ice. 
The doctors ask him which one he want back because he can't pay for both...
 

Of course, The Hospital has no right, and no power to hold their passport. This is the property of the foreign governement. (Here British)
Hospital has to give up the charge as they break the law...and could have more problem.

 taking advantage of another person, without consent, is dispicable.

 

as is defending it in any manner.

So we agree that it s not only rapist and murderer... that's what we see everywhere in the world... Nord taking advantage of South...without consent.
"economic competition" ( and abuse and corruption that goes with it) is the cause ( or the source) of "physical violence".

Its probably just me... but I would prefer to see rapists and murderers get caught, than corrupt people, unless the corrupt people protect the rapists and murders, in which case they become complicit in the crime, and deserve the same treatment as the perpetrator.

They are the consequences of violence amongt the poor people ... because it all start with education... And you probably know that "poor people" tried to immitate the rich people...so when you see a rich asking to a poor to "kho thot his car", he just make this behaviour acceptable among those poor minded...
A thai raping a white drunk girl ?! not a big deal like it was a rich thai woman...
As you see on the comments, this is the fault of the girl because she get drunk... That's what I mean...

I have so many female friends who lived in Thailand for years, and they continue to say "I felt very safe in Thailand" when asked by others about safety in Thailand. I don't understand it. The stats and the news do seem to agree with this mentality.

Of course it is safe. At least safer than Europe....
But what is in the news are the dirtiest story....not every day life... sure not!

That's why people get racist...without news like this, they would love each other...maybe :)

LOOOL !  
I have been hitted by the grand-mother of my child with a wood stick on the head. 
Then later, on the legs...
And, my ex-wife, the mother of our child, throw scissors to the back of my head....
When I go to the police to tell the story....they just say they don't want to get involved in family case, and we should go to the court about the child.... However, my ex-wife has been to the police to complain that I had Assaulted her (which is actually the opposite)...and the police man contact me by Facebook to say that he will make the complain if I don't come to the police station...
So when I see that video and that the man has so much "problem" only for a slap....it makes me smile... ( it doesn't mean that I agree with this violence, of course)

I wonder what they will do when auto-guiding cars are on the market! Even Uber has bought some of this auto-guiding cars in an other country.... Maybe it s time to understand that technologies will steal our work, and that the "salary" need to be replace by a "basic income".
But this idea isn t even welcome in our countries yet.... Yeah enjoy competition! and forget about cooperation... sad sad sad...

why not complaining about Skytrain, Subways and Buses ?!

 If I was the waitress I'd of given her the pizza but spit on it in the back room.

Well if I was the waitress, I would take the order withut telling anyone that the customer is not Thai ! But maybe we don't have the same ethics...

I think  the effect on Thai people who read this story is just COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.  Better take the Mai Pen Rai attitude then go and get a pizza or something lighter elsewhere, the Thai way.  

 

I m agree with everything that you write about "peaceful ways". However, it all start with the waitress creating a separation between "thai" and "non-thai".  We could say that the waitress could just take the order without telling the cashier that the customer is not thai...that would be a peaceful way as well...

So I believe that it s COUNTERPRODUCTIVE to just forget about it and go somewhere else when it s an issue that many "non-thai" want to "fix". And it s even more important when it comes from a well know thai company...

Thai "culture" as defined by my wife always involved me paying for everything. I went along with it for the first years of our life together, as she worked long hours for sod all ( like most Thais ) and it was just us, but when it started to encompass paying for her family, I made it clear that wasn't going to happen, and the end came suddenly, in every way, for our marriage.

I still don't know if she just got tired of being married to me or if it was a long con, but same result either way.

I'm just really happy we didn't have an atm anchor ( baby ).

Many likes for this answer...I guess true experiences never lie... and it happen to many of us.
Me too my friend ! and she even don't let me see our 3 years old daugther. ( but we were not married, make it more complicated)

  Everyone is NOT the same, we are all different .

 
Oh really ? 
I have two eyes, a brain, legs , arms....
But many people prefer to look at the differences ! At the flags colors, langage, race, sexual orentation, etc....It s so much more easier to get angry against those people than against the "high society". 
Same everywhere in the world, WE LOVE high class people...they earn 100 to 1000 times more than 90% of the world population (with less effort), and WE LOVE THEM !
