I would think that it would behoove themselves to have a sense of humor. Certainly this was done in a lighthearted spirit. Even the pope has a sense of humor, I'm sure he's get a chuckle if the same were done to him. And one might ask, what would Buddha himself think and say? Better to laugh than to cry, suffer, or hate.

What if they find out that it was the monks themselves who did it? Aren't they entitled to a little fun?

The Buddha Boys

They live in the selfie universe - they don't exist unless they see themselves in a selfie. If you take their phones away they'll disappear. Hmmm, maybe not a bad idea.

So happy to know a person who never in his life made a bad decision even in hindsight. Be careful you don't fall off your high horse and end up like these people.

A man in his 70s needing surgery. Right. Hard to believe.

Because it's how the game is played - for show. There are many layers to this, many players. Surely you don't expect them to be honest and above board?

Much worse than bad taste. You must think the holocaust is a regular riot. That you would even think, let alone write such a thing shows you to be a calloused, insensitive a------ . Do us all a favor and leave the country.

You have two Southeast Asian cultures whose leaders stole from them. From that you conclude "Asian people are blind to people that rob them". So it's because the people are stupid, is that it? Is that supposed to represent logic? 2 + 2 = 5? What, are those leaders supposed to fully disclose what they do? Seriously? Meanwhile most other cultures have had leaders who do the same thing, some a little more under the radar than others, most never get caught and are purposefully invisible to the general public. USA included. The US Supreme Court has recently been exposed as corrupt and beholden to billionaires. But it's because the American people are blind, right? You possess the classic mind of a bigot, to whom every conclusion is molded into your prejudices and favorite stereotypes. Nobody is "blind" if the corrupt leaders are simply expert con artists and able to hide their misdeeds, which means just abut all of them and not just your "Asians".

Nonsense? Really? You'd be surprised, if you actually tried, how much info is actually on the electronic record. You have to speak to the IT person at your bank who can read the codes and translate them. You also might have to speak to the receiving bank. There is an electronic trail throughout the path from your bank to theirs. Some banks will not process international transactions, but do not disclose this fact unless you dig into it. Could be a number of other reasons for this. Could be an oversensitive security protocol somewhere in the chain. If you want to figure this out you'll have to do the heavy lifting.

Wonder how they’ll pull this off without forcing banks to disclose all incoming int’l money transfers? I will have to ask my bank. Seems like it might be hard to universally enforce this.

Just using it as an excuse, to do something that they knew was otherwise unjustifiable, but were itching for a way to get away with it. It's not really about compensating the families.

The Thais should be proud that their culture is tolerant enough to put up with racist bigots such as yourself without deporting them. I've been here 10 years and the only troubles I've seen or had personally are with farang, mostly badly behaved Brits. It baffles one as to why you even live here, if you do. Did you come here because there weren't enough things to complain about in your home country? You should move (or go back to) to the US, they love people like you.

Theoretically they probably could, as well as bring criminal defamation charges. But the blowback from that might make things exponentially worse, and maybe they know that. Are the creators residing in Thailand such that they could be brought to court? Also, the movie was informed by investigators from established Thai news organizations like the Thaiger, would they want to go after them as well? But it wouldn't surprise me if someone announced some kind of legal action, even if it was just sabre rattling

Yawn. Wake me when there's some real news. Like if it hits 38 B/1$ like last year. But what goes up comes down and vice versa. So what's inevitable is inevitable.

You do know that the general population is not composed of musclebound athletes, but rather people who simply eat more of the wrong kinds of foods and get too little regular exercise. So for every one Schwarzenegger there are 1000 obese sweaty Burts.

It's likely that the writer of the story or the mother either misspoke or were perhaps misinterpreting bleeding that was due to injury. These writers are not known for getting facts straight, let alone getting anything scientific or medical right. then there's translation.

Fake or not, it serves as food for thought for anyone BEFORE they find themselves in a similar dilemma. And as you must know, MANY have had lives ruined by conniving wives, and their families, lawyers, banks, and realtors. As to this forum, it's tabloid and has no aspirations beyond clickbait - it sells ads. Most of us know where to go for quality news content.

Doesn't much matter what we think, since this took place on Reddit and he's likely long gone by now. But remind me, what century are we living in? Sounds to me like it's her loss, that he even considered it before deciding shows him to have some character, and deciding no shows him to be sensible. If it were me I wouldn't do it - first, I have no need of an official sanction to validate an otherwise sincere relationship, so I'm not dying to get married. This is simply a roundabout way of buying a wife. Or not buying one. Just my OPINION: Thai people are just as obligated to recognize that I am not of their culture as I am to be aware of theirs. Feel sorry for the girl caught in the middle, but something tells me these in laws would be hell to deal with long term. Now, how long do they think they will have to wait before another sucker comes along and they get to try the same schtick?

BIFF!!!! BAM!!!!!! POWWWW!!!! OOFFF!!!!

You know what “banged” means in American slang, right? Your mate must have had a heII of a time for those 2 1/2 years!

If you choose not to be. Your choice. 5555

Are you a doctor? Because unless a person is deathly ill or fragile and elderly minor variations in outside temperature aren’t going to affect health one way or the other. The human body is not a battery, it is an engine which runs on fuel (glucose from carbohydrates). Energy comes from glucose/glycogen reserves, burned in the mitochondria of cells. . As long as you are healthy and not starving your body will maintain internal temperature and metabolism automatically, If you are hot you sweat, if you are cold you shiver, If you’re tired you sleep, no one needs to “conserve” energy due to simply “not feeling well” and outside temperature not being ideal. We have doctors who can diagnose and advise us if need be. As a matter of fact, “common sense” as well medical fact says that if you’re cold you should expend energy (not conserve it) because that creates heat. If you’re hot you slow down because expending less energy creates less heat. If you would like to learn more about metabolism in sickness and health I encourage you to enroll in medical school.
