Exactly. The dumbest op I read in a while. Like a post made in 1999 pre internet era.

Depression is a killer but these high profile cases do not truly reflect the whole picture.

He just always enjoyed being single.Bar girl was the source as far ss I'm aware.

So he wasn't gay. I think people are interested because there are some dangerous posters here who claim HIV is impossible to catch with prostitutes basically.

My reason for being here need not concern you, neither should the reason I decide to stay, neither one is any of your business.

 

I do however agree with you that Westerners are among the biggest brown-nosers of all, particularly (it seems) those who live among Thais in Thailand and still suffer the naive delusion that Thais appreciate brown-nosing. They only appreciate it if they do it.

 

As to your assumption that you know anything at all about me, that also is a delusion, you don't, so it would be better if you did not base any of your assumptions on the delusion that you do. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against you, I don't even know you, what I do know is that you should not debate psychology or related issues with me.

 

Have a nice day.

 

And you equally shouldn't be concerned about Thai people wanting a house and a car. Or is this privilege only reserved for you to feel superior?

And I'll make as many assumptions as I want on a forum. I'll do as I please and there's nothing you can do about it.

I don't recognise the situation you are describing. I also think you have a jaundiced view of ex-pats, for what reason I could guess at but won't - because guesses and personal prejudices don't help.

 

The average Thai is lazy and under-intelligent. So far as I can see, these are demonstrable facts, born of government statistics and personal experience. They engage in the behaviour that life has taught them works to their advantage. In Thailand, what works is brown-nosing, buying presents or giving gifts or brown envelopes and seeking patronage, it is not necessarily effort, experience or talent. I suggest it is this culture that you should attack rather than the opinions of people you don't know and apparently can only sneer at.

 

 

You don't recognize the situation, I'm describing....Yet, here you are. Perhaps taking advantage of cheap labor and stupid Thai? In the land of the blind and all that, eh?

So, my question hasn't changed. Why shouldn't the average middle class Thai expect to have a house and a car? Or is this privilege strictly reserved for gangsters, brown-nosers and hiso elite? In my opinion, of course, there aren't bigger brown nosers than Westerners. Both beta males and females will massage egos of people above them just to get through life. The interview process in the West is one of the most stupid I have ever experienced. No wonder your reward are millennial.

I can't honestly dispute the figures, or the observations by many posters and the people they know, but I can say that I think the expectations of Thais have changed and that makes life more expensive.   

 

Some years ago, they were less concerned about medical care now they are (and they are getting older).   A lot of families are smaller and caring for ageing relatives is more of a burden.   I know many Thais who were quite satisfied to not own a house, or a condo, but now more want one.   The same with vehicles.   Where you once saw 10-15 people in the back of a pickup, now you see more people wanting private transport.

 

Thais have moved from the simple country life to a more sophisticated urban life and with it comes increased stress and costs.   Many of those costs are hidden.

 

Great post.

I am sure Thailand economy is doing just fine, but this does not reflected on average people unless you are a gangster.

I think my wife is grossly underpaid at 45k a month working for one of the biggest companies in Thailand.

Nothing sickens me more than some old fatso here lecturing about needs and wants. Why shouldn't the average Thai who bothered to get education expect to have a condo/house/car? Should the old fatso here who won the birth lottery of being born in some no name Western country give up his already bloated Western pension that he's not even spending in his own country? Oh, but I worked hard for it is old fatso reply. So are Thais. Most middle class Thais that take the bus every day which old fatso is unable to see from his high horse On Nutterz condo are also working very hard. Sorry, but even being a cashier in this country at 7/11 is a very tiring job. Just look at the amount of people they have to serve every day. Why should they be only paid 300 bucks a month in the city that costs as much as Toronto to purchase a condo.

Will Thai Visa update us about 500 baht payment?

Garnisheeing wages and salaries happens here too and the student loan fund is in the process right now of taking garnishee action against more defaulters.

 

My Thai son's sister in law received a notice on this from the student loan fund about 2 months ago, and they told her no payments within 60 days and the garnishee order automatically kicks in, she's a bank manager.  

 

She owes close to 300,000Baht, finished study some 12 years ago, never made even 1 baht repayment. She refuses to do so on the basis of 'other people don't repay student loans why should I'.

 

The fund is closing in on her father too because he's the guarantor. 

 

 

Did you post this on another thread also? I am trying to find that thread, but can't.

We are talking about laws , nothing to do with anyone "feeling horny".

 

That's another reply by this guy for a trash can.

So, if I understand this correctly, a 17 year old girl was charged for forcing a 14 year old to have sex with Indian man.

Was there any other charge?

Yes, I understand, but won't it affect the business? After all things are built because people come. I have never seen restaurants like Sizzler almost empty in Thailand. The mall was even packed in Sri Racha.

So just to confirm.....the girls have no need to take any responsibility?.....

 

Som nom nar.

 

If I was a girl and (for some reason) I had unprotected sex with a stranger,  and allowed him to come inside me,  I would consider myself to be primarily responsible for any ensuing pregnancy.

 

Additionally, I would want to be in control of what happened to my body.

If you think you have so much self control then please allow yourself to stop making silly judgemental posts.

This is a great title.
