Some people only understand violence. Otherwise, they'd never pay back the money. There has to be consequences for people with no moral compass. That said, the loans sharks are vermin.

How do you know this?

I learned Thai to about the intermediate level, even some reading and writing. I have enough for my needs, so I stopped studying; I have better things to do with my time. I rarely use Thai, except when I really have to. For example, I'd never order food or drink in Thai in a tourist area. I'd use English, of course. Guys who do that are just trying to impress the staff. But at a hospital talking to a nurse with poor English I might be able to describe my symptoms more understandably in Thai, though most doctors will understand my symptoms in English medical jargon more clearly than with my limited medical Thai vocabulary. I am just not really interested in Thai language and I don't care about it, so that's why I am not fluent.

As naive as the Thais? I can think of a lot of words for Thais, but naive isn't one of them. In fact, I find them very suspicious and distrusting, also quite clever, cunning, and pragmatic. Rightly so given the milieu they grew up in.

Yeah, but the way you said it sounded like you are as shallow as the Thais.

No need for belief. There should be facts about what he did.

So, a person's "quality" is how much money they spend? Very shallow.

What's wrong with keeping your money anyway? I don't get this "Cheap Charlie" thing in Thailand anyway. It's just cos they want to fleece us, right?

Before I came to Thailand, yeah, haha

What's the problem? Did his mother die from the "bout of weakness?" I didn't click on the article to read further, but they obviously deemed her "low priority" compared to people coming in with heart attacks/strokes etc etc If it was during Songkran, there would be a lot of carnage too (road accidents, violent attacks, overdoses etc etc). Obviously very urgent stuff. I once got my priority level bumped up a few notches by giving the nurse a bit of hassle, so it is possible. Just don't defame them online, lol. What a numpty.

I did realize that I am merely a bag of subatomic particles. That's the only truth. There is no finding oneself.

Yes, but that was all BS. Then I turned into Victor Meldrew. Much better.

I don't think this applies to anyone on my list.

Let me play the world's smallest violin for all those working in the tourist industry: tuk tuk drivers, taxi drivers, tour guides, bar girls, go go girls, beach chair people, jet ski guys, elephant owners etc. etc. Most of these people are parasites looking to rip off or scam unsuspecting tourists who have paid a lot of money to come here from the other side if the world. No Fs given at all for these bottom feeders.

Let's be honest guys, where else would you see such primitive behaviour? Imagine that happening in a western country? Random waitresses, bar staff, security, random bystanders, passersby, some taxi drivers perhaps, or whoever etc. etc. all coming out of the woodwork together for a good auld head kicking on someone who really posed no actual threat to anyone - especially once he was put down with the first punch - but he was all bark and no bite anyway throughout the whole video. Things like that happen in prison, gang culture, or football hooligan culture in the West......but for ordinary civilians to do this?? 😆 🤣 😂 It's wild!

What's more insightful is the tens of thousands of Thais on social media applauding this and making jokes about "farang salad" and suchlike. They are even saying that Thais are raised to back each other up in situations like this, even though they don't know each other personally. Such an eye opener into the primitive mindets of the people we are living with.

Exactly.....but he bruised their little egos and they lost face. They couldn't not savagely gang up on him.

Hang on, hang on.........I only saw a pack of Thais (as usual) doing that.

Sit back and watch the show. It's hilarious to see all the Indians annoying the Thais....but they want their money.....so they are conflicted.

Thai women are neat and tidy on the outside, but you should see the pig stye they live in.

Well, in a country of hookers, what do you think?

Done. Done. Done. Done. Done. Done. I did Sihanoukville back when it was just a little fishing village. Does that count? 😆 Koh Rong too (when there was nothing on the island) God, I couldn't wait to leave. Only did a month there. Couldn't stand the people.

For Thais to call anyone low quality is the pot calling the kettle black, no? They are the cheapest ever. All take and no give. Gucci is not that exclusive. Try getting into a Hermes store.

It's not you, it's them. They only care about money. People are only good for money here. Even their children cannot go back to visit their parents without a cash gift. What did you expect? You are a farang and Thailand is not a country you should take seriously. Enjoy it for what you can. That's it. Well, I have not been a backpacker for almost 2 decades, so I can't really relate that much, but Thailand has definitely lost its charm; it's just a shopping mall now.

And?
