Obviously a newb here. Life is extremely cheap in Thailand. Ignorantly and arrogantly underestimating the hidden viciousness & violence behind that dull smile of the Thai male can be a fatal. They regularly kill parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, friends, strangers, other relatives, spouses, gf's, bosses, coworkers and foreigners over the tiniest of little things. Sometimes for no reason at all. Be careful. Be wary. Be warned.
