    I'm confused by this relating of events. How could Jarae's loud speaking be misinterpreted as anger towards them if he did not engage with anyone? Something is fishy here... of course. There are always multiple angles here. When something seems this odd, that generally means there is something missing from the story... not saying he at all deserved this horrible treatment, but there is more to this story I think.

    This is a glorious theory! I love it.

    I'm also curious how road deaths compare to pollution-related deaths in Thailand. Distraction?
  5. wealthychef
    Maybe the researchers and I have a different understanding of what "most" means.

    Yes, of course, it was the complaining tourist that hurt tourism, not the incident itself. TIT!

    These monkeys are super aggressive, I can attest to that. Something I did set off one of them and he got very aggressive and chased me off. Only reason I didn't fight him was I didn't want to be the guy caught in a video fighting a monkey. ???? But they are very aggressive and I advise people to stay away from them.

    Interesting, thanks. I'm still trying to figure out the place for me, so appreciate you sharing your ideas.

    Interesting, OK, yeah, I didn't leave the USA because I couldn't afford it, I left because it'a an authoritarian cesspool of ignorance. ???? So LV and San Antonio sound dreadful to me. Manila vs. Bangkok: I don't know why anyone might prefer Manila, with its horrible traffic and pollution. Oh, wait... LOL. ????

    Yeah, well, I'll bet more than half of the country are opposed to the widespread bribing of police officers. I wonder which one does more harm to society?

    If the government cares about these people, how about trying to eliminate this practice of polluting the whole continent with smoke and dust? Why would someone choose to go to this clinic? If I had trouble breathing, I'd go to a proper hospital

    Oh yeah, where would you go? I make $80k in my pension and I don't qualify because I can't prove to the Thai government that my pension is real. But I love the culture and people here.

    I would expect this is mostly corporate employees who spend money like it's nothing, or wealthy people that just are looking for a bit more convenience at any cost. No normal person is going to do this and I assume that's by design.
  14. wealthychef
    So just bribe the people scrutinizing, duh!

    Unlike all those virtuous Western women that are famously well above any sort of gold digging or treachery, good point. </sarcasm>

    What possible faux pas could be made around the importance of music in Thai culture? Being too quiet? Not liking driving backbeats? Failure to dance like nobody's watching?
  17. wealthychef
    Yes, in the USA we went through the Fat Ass Revolution in the 1970s and 80s I think. So we are way ahead of Thailand here.

    It's a calorie surplus, whether from sugar, fats ,or even protein. The quality of your diet can change the ability to process calories somewhat, but the bottom line is that for purposes of gaining weight, it's all about calories in minus calories out. Exercise, nutrition, etc, are all ways of modifying these two quantities.

    I see, so UK healthcare for its citizens ends at its borders? That's still better than the US but a strange rule
  20. wealthychef
    I thought Brits had free healthcare, did they Brexit that away too? I'm sorry for this lad's misfortunes. Something's weird about the price tag is all I'm noticing.

    To be clear: stealing 20 baht bottles of water is not OK, but you can't slap people for it, just make them pay. On the other hand, buying LSD, fake IDs, and bribing cops are all approved activities. Must be some confusing training!

    Nor is it reported how easily the footage can be obtained by interested members of the public.

    It's not about self-hatred in my case, I think I'm personally wonderful. ???? Nor is this about hating anyone at all. Just because someone acts badly doesn't mean I hate them. My observations are from watching actual Americans repeatedly being ignorant, arrogant and presumptive when traveling in Asia, Europe and South America, including myself at times, as compared to people from other countries.
  25. wealthychef
    quite likely, as that's another American trait! LOL
