Ok it's in Thai so it's easy to miss but the title has the word Farang and there is a #Farang hashtag in the YouTube video also. I should have put this in the original post but it would be something like "Negro man hits and kills white women's son. #Negros" in an American context. It's pretty shocking for a national news channel if you ask me.

Sure but this is going to upset lots of people and we have to go in to public with strangers. The American equivalent of this news story would be something like: "Negro man hits and kills white women's son. #Negros" That's literally what this national news channel did. It's pretty crazy actually if you can wrap your head around it. That's going to inflame tensions if you ask me.

The German man seems guilty to me but there's very little information to go on. The news channel seems to be inflaming tensions by reporting this story at all. Their video is not complete and it's totally unremarkable compared to the endless other traffic fatalities they post. For example these in the last couple days. They have this one on video. Killed two people. Drunk. This guy didn't die but it's all on camera. Hit an old man trying to cross the road at a designated crossing.

There was no reason at all to bring up that story, the only thing remarkable about it was that it was a non-Thai involved. The crying story of the mom at the beginning shows they're trying to stir up emotions. It's easy to see how this could impact the rest of the expats if it keeps going this way.

Farang hit and run kills this women's son. Looks like he's 100% to blame but notice how they use the #Farang hashtag and highlight the fact it was a foreigner. ThaiRath TV has endless stories like this (the other day a drunk kid hit 4 cyclists killing 2 of them) but they don't put up the photo like this ever. Reminds me of Travon Martin, Americans will know. It's not looking like a good time be a Farang in Thailand!

There were a few incidents in close proximity. Not aware of this being a pattern though so why did the OP bring it up? Does OP have one of these tattoos? Seems like one of those guys. If he does that would help explain his attack on Farangdom in Thailand.

punishable by waterboarding.

If you were born yesterday you may believe this. At best you can call him a "New Australian", meaning literally any person from wherever that happens to get a piece of government paper with their name on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Australia_policy

Isn't he just providing a much needed service?

oh no the presenter is getting up on his high horse no doubt in part because of the Swiss guy. At least Thai people haven't been brainwashed with this "there's only race, the human race" BS and recognize this guy isn't the same as your typical Aussie farang. We have so many punks like this guy in America and if they start traveling to Thailand in numbers we're all screwed.

Of course he's Australian. Australia is a nation of immigrants don't you know? Welcome to the party pal. Now you know what it feels like to be an American. 😂

Likely he would be doing the shooting himself.

African immigrants look the same in every country. Lots of swagger and gold chains. Black American culture is massively to blame also.

Exactly the problem. I couldn't bear to have a dog rescue in Thailand knowing how the locals would be working against you in every regard.

Thai people have always been exceedingly polite when we touch in public by accident. The Swiss guy was a total nut, I'm sure it was 100% his fault.

The order given here is of importance. I'm really frustrated with Thai people and dogs. They have a really cruel indifference to seeing their suffering on daily basis. Just last week the stray dog which the security dogs took in got hit by a car. It got badly injured and may die. Very sad but did any of them care when it was running around chasing cars? No of course not. Dogs can't survive without people so it's their own fault this happened. They would never let their kids run around the road but they don't care enough about dogs apparently.

I got beat in a road bike race up Doi Inthanon (Thailands highest mountain) by a 60 year old Dutch man. Not only did he beat me (aged 30 then), but 700 other Thai people of all ages.

You think you're too good for a fat wife?

I paid 10,000 for 2 round trip tickets from CM to Hua His on March 22nd. How much did that used to cost? I never went before. Also is it cheaper flying different times of year? I thought March was low season because I live in the North when it's ruined now but maybe it's still busy in March around those parts?

Why Chiang Mai? That city is getting hard to live in because of traffic. So many nicer places in the North if you ask me.

It was only a few years ago Pad Thai was 40 baht. What is the world coming to. When I first came in 2005 it was 20 baht for Pai Thai. I don't think I've ever had a bad Pad Thai, just lame restaurants with no fans or bad chairs.

Building is smart for security but if something goes wrong it would be a disaster to lose your money and now you're too old to re-earn. I would only do this if you can afford to lose the home. Who knows how the laws in Laos work and if any of that can be trusted anyways. I know Thailand has endless laws but do they ever actually enforce them? I'm very skeptical myself.

I don't understand this. Isn't the land a joint marital property? Part of being married is that you lose your right to hold sole title. I'm very skeptical these hold up in court with married couples. If you get divorced I believe you would be required to liquidate the property, I guess unless you can settle the divorce with other funds then you could hold the land.

It's easy to mistake media type for the reality on the ground. Since 2020 there have the been the same amount of interracial crime as usual but you don't hear about it like then. Why? Because there isn't an election happening now. If it's useful in the coming election they'll find a black on white incident and make it public and stir up emotions just like in 2020.

what exactly is wrong with the width of the main entrance? this sounds like the kind of thing you'll be ruined for in America, but in Thailand???
