Drunken Assault Shocks Pattaya as Tourist Attacked Unprovoked
Jonathan Swift replied to snoop1130's topic in Pattaya News
It's a big world out there, sonny. Lots of different people from different cultures. My dad, born in 1921, serving in WWII, always woke up by 5:00 AM and would sometimes go for a walk around his neighborhood. Are you trying to blame the victim? Because - you're racist and don't like dark skinned people from south Asia, therefore they don't have the right to go around minding their own business unmolested? And even if he WAS partying all night, so what? He wasn't bothering anyone, and has the right to walk where and when he pleases. -

Project much? In case you don't know the term, people see in other people their own worst qualities because they lack the self awareness and honest introspection that mature enlightened adults hav achieved. People like you come here and complain about things that nobody else has a problem with, including and especially seeing and interpreting human qualities. If Thai people don't respect you maybe it means YOU aren't worthy of their respect, maybe YOU'RE the ɑsshole, not them. It certainly shows in your language. I certainly don't like you. So leave, surely there's some place in the world that measures up to your lofty expectations. Oh, but wait, no matter where you go you will complain, because, project much? We don't need sour attitude chronic complainers, we left them behind in our own countries. Be gone.

Pretty stupid question, really, what does it matter what we "think"? Ask the Thai people themselves. They were wearing masks long before covid.

That puts a potentially different spin on your profile pic. I'll be satisfied if the stock market normalizes. -

No Coffee Crisis: Supply Steady, Prices Stable, Assures DIT

The prices on a commodity is rising. The end of the world is nigh. Say your prayers. -
And the logic behind your question, and its relevance, is ...... ? Exactly 0. And how many Israeli tourists speak English? Do they come here expecting tour guides to speak Hebrew? How many Thai tour guides speak excellent English? Most of them. Their livelihood depends in it. How many languages do you expect them to know? English is considered sufficient as far as 99% of the rest of the world is concerned. It's the agreed upon common linguistic currency. And last but not least, do you think Thai people are inclined to cater to Israelis after all the trouble they've brought to the country, including ex military scofflaws like this guy? I'm sorry if I made your brain hurt with all this logic, But you feel smarter, no doubt, for trying to participate in a conversation that's clearly over your head. Oh, one more thing. You forgot to scream ANTI-SEMITISM!!!!!!!!!!!

Nitrous does not cloud judgment. Its effect doesn'y last long enough, and during the effect you are not coordinated enough to manage anything like a firearm. It is an analgesic, a pain reliever, and has very little other effect other than sedation. Like most people here, you are drawing conclusions without being fully informed.

Nitrous is always the same. It's neither good nor bad. It doesn't effect behavior or judgment the way alcohol does because it wears off rapidly, and is an analgesic (pain reliever) and not an intoxicant. The big risk is from inhaling too much and passing out because of oxygen depletion and getting hurt. It is considered non toxic and is widely used in dentistry. In the US I was always given nitrous from a continuous feed during dental procedures, in which I was fully conscious. In this case, just my opinion, this was simply the result of youthful stupidity. If he was drinking that would have added to the stupidity. That's why I don't like being around drunks. Drunk=stupid.

I'm not well informed other than hearsay, are the Chinese contractors the worst offenders? Of course, you have to look at the bidding process and how they vet, or don't vet the contractors. Stating the obvious, human lives are not worth the amount of money saved with the lowest bidder building shoddy constructions using underpaid and untrained migrant employees.

I still feel loved and respected - maybe they just don't like you. Ever consider that? I don't like you already just because of the way you talk about Thai people. There's nothing wrong with cracking down on foreign lawbreakers. Give them some time in jail and then deport. Make sure they don't EVEN want to come back.

early 20s is the age of ignorance as to such things, it doesn't necessarily mean lack of regard for life. It just means stupid. They accept being <deleted>faced as perfectly normal. I've seen it a million times, a gang goes out specifically for the purpose of getting hammered, and of course here you don't drive, so there are no legal limits, and you learn your lessons the hard way. I don't like being around drunks because of my experiences with my family's alcoholism. I don't like seeing people in a degraded state. I have better quality fun and experiences when I'm sober.
