I absolutely hate hearing this BS. As if Thai families are somehow special.
In the news a few weeks ago, a couple of brothers sold their 12 year old sister to a 60 year old one-eyed drunk for a day's use of his fishing net.
And don't get me started on the millions of women selling the bodies to send money back to the village only to have their dad piss it away and their mother gamble it away.
And their parents know what they are doing for the money. 🤢
The amount of abuse, neglect, and abandonment I have witnessed in families here is shocking. It's just so common.
But, to add insult to injury, they've got to take care of their so-called "parents" when they are old.
And they brag about family being everything here, lol.
It's just about money. They have monetized the beautiful thing that is family.
I reckon if they knew how the average Western family treats each other, they'd be confused and likely in denial at the genuine love and respect, rather than their manipulation and exploitation.
