Vote buying: The engine of corruption in Thailand
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Surely it's a sign of the corruption within Thai society? This is really on the people that take the money, as much as it is on the people giving it. -
Thai Expert Explains High Electricity Bills in Thailand
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
What about all the innocent people dying? Isn't that bad? -
The entitlement that these types of women have is insane. I know it's not unusual in these situations, but it doesn't make it any easier to swallow. "I found someone new, so please leave your house and let me have it." I guess it's either they feel that the house is theirs because you married them, or you're a foreigner so they can rip you off without consequence, but either way it's completely messed up.

Lap top for school girl 14 year old
BangkokReady replied to Hummin's topic in Primary & Secondary Education
Pick your budget, go to an IT mall, see what they have around that budget then do a little research on the ones that you can afford. I'm sure some people have luck buying online, but it has bad news written all over it, IMO. I'm sure it would be nice to buy a shiny Macbook whatever, but this is a 14 year old high school student. If she needed a video editing, programming machine, I'm sure OP would have mentioned it. -
Does your Thai partner know much about history outside of Thailand?
BangkokReady replied to sharksy's topic in General Topics
Error. -
Does she mean purely financial? I think there are simply not enough cases of the woman being supported by the male in Asian culture to make this true. There are just too many working women and not enough house wives for it to be true. Personally, I wouldn't trust a Thai woman saying "Hey foreign man. The man supports the woman in our culture". There's simply too much in it for them and "it is the culture" is often used to manipulate foreigners.

Probably nothing.

Thank goodness they were there to record the screaming! ???? -
Man stabbed to death in shopping mall near Bangkok
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Interesting how central the idea of having a weapon is when thinking of fighting. -

It's true. In most cultures, if you stare at someone, they will stab you to death! /s ???? -

The banality of the Thai murderer. -
Drug addict arrested for assaulting, raping his mother in Bangkok
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Some people comment for the sake of sharing an opinion, but it doesn't mean that they are suggesting that they are the only person who thought of that thing, or that it makes them better than anyone else for coming to that conclusion. I too thought yaba when reading the story, but due to the weird nature of crimes related to its users, rather than the non-mention of the drug, so the comment was somewhat interesting. I certainly didn't get mad at the comment. You might want to have a think about why you did get so angry. Angry enough to post two separate replies to the same comment. I don't think it's healthy, and I think you will be happier if you are able to relax a little more. -
Fatal Gunfight Occurs in Surat Thani Hotel Parking Lot
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Southern Thailand News
A total waste of life. I wonder if they were real "gansters" or just doing some LARPing. -
Sure. There are actually a lot of things that could have prevented this accident. A 14 year old should not have been riding a motorbike. No licence. No insurance. A helmet should have been worn. Probably an illegally modified bike. Likely speeding. Likely driving dangerously. I guess the parents could have prevented this, but, to be realistic, Thai society at large must carry some of the blame also, for providing the conditions where the above is routinely ignored.

American Comedian Star Conan O’Brien Enjoys His Time in Thailand

Surprisingly so. I had no idea until I watched the "behind the scenes" type clips on YouTube. -
Man discovers 3-metre tapeworm after eating raw meat
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Yes. We're all baffled as to how the man who regularly does something that is likely to introduce tape worms to his stomach ended up with a tape worm in his stomach. ???? I guess some things simply defy all explanation... ???? -
Phuket motorbike rider’s viral video sparks amusement and debate
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
Could be fake, but still good if it is a deterrent. I wonder what "debate" it sparked. Presumably something along the lines of "This is too harsh. The police should have just told him he was a naughty boy, made him do some squat-thrusts, and then let him get right back on his bike and ride off.". -
It does seem that post-covid Thais are a little less happy and friendly overall and a little more hostile to foreigners.
