Poor little boys, grew up in a broken home, no food, no money, no education, never understood what laws and police meant,had to steal money for trip to Thailand.
That would be the story back in NZ
my religion is -don't let someone tell you you have to go out killing people- don't rape women- don't molest little kids- don't thieve., and be honest.Most nowaday religions are just money-making businesses
I go along with that and all the OP says, have seen plenty of beautiful Thai girls with tats spoiling their perfect skin and looks. Seen a few ugly ones too who have gone and made themselves uglier.
Wherever you go there's thousands of abandoned buildings and new ones being built alongside. I would say around 40% of all types of buildings in Thailand are abandoned
