  1. Thais can, of course, be very friendly and kind, it's a big part of their culture and features prominently in their education system, but there is also a big culture of saying nothing and not getting involved in various negative aspects of life in Thailand. We see many news articles of horrible things happening in Thailand, particularly to vulnerable people, and no one says or does a thing (although they probably gossip about it in private). It's probably not a great idea to think that Thais are all selfish and let horrible things happen to other people either. What's most interesting is the fact that the OP ignores the number of Thai people who must have completely ignored this Thai girl unconscious on the floor, and chooses only to focus on the two Thai people that decided to help her. The ones that ignored her don't mean anything, but the ones that helped her indicate how friendly, good natured and nice Thai people are. Selection bias in action.
  2. Not sh*t. Why weren't you watching him?!
  3. This could easily be explained by the fact that women are expected to support men in Thailand. Not just deadbeat husbands, but deadbeat brothers as well.
  4. Come on. We see multiple stories of Thais breaking the law every day. They must all be criminals. 😂
  5. Who said that the Thais were trying to scam him?
  6. Thanks. Edited. I thought it was the victim in the picture. That's wild.
  7. Simply objecting to being scammed can end with a beat down with these types.
  8. Well, by cancelling the digital wallet, they avoid fallout from a vote-buying scheme, which was their undoing last time. The problem will come when they try to be re-elected. If they don't launch another vote-buying scheme, will people vote for them based just on their performance and policies? If they do launch another vote-buying scheme, will people believe them?
  9. So just petty revenge for an apparently innocent woman daring to buy some land? And now he still doesn't have the land and he's off to jail? Genius! I guess he showed people not to mess with him, though. And that's the most important thing.
  10. This is also very likely. The instinct should be that if you cannot see the side of the crossing, you slow down and peer round the vehicles blocking your view.
  11. Even funnier is the fact that five minutes ago they were all claiming there was nothing wrong with Biden, that it was all down to a speech impediment. Now that Biden's out of the picture, suddenly Trump is mad, for far less than what Biden exhibited! You can't believe a word the never-Trumpers say.
  12. I've no doubt that never-Trumpers are experiencing something that has a strong mental effect on them. My point was more that the language used in the OP exposes what it's author truly believes. If he genuinely believed Trump to be insane, he wouldn't word it in a way that suggests he has suddenly realised it, after it has been stated by the never-Trumpers so often.
  13. Indeed. I wonder if, when there's a new candidate, they'll still be going on about Trump, like they won't be able to let him go.
  14. I don't think you've understood my comment.
  15. The irony! 🙄
  16. You guys are always sharing the same dull opinions. You've been fairly vocal about how Trump is mentally and physically unwell for what seems like an eternity. The daftest thing about all this is that for some peculiar reason, you make it sound like you've just come to this conclusion. Far from having the desired effect, all this does is make it clear that you don't even believe your own lies. Otherwise, why would you continually write "Trump has gone insane", like it's a new development? You can't even keep track of your own ridiculous propaganda!
  17. How is Ukraine teaching the West a lesson? They are completely reliant on the West for assistance and if they didn't have their support, they would be part of Russia by now. It's great that they're doing well, but they aren't teaching anyone any lessons.
  18. Yeah, but that isn't being shared on social media to the same degree, therefore it doesn't happen.
  19. Hub of crackdowns on foreigners... 🙄
  20. Watch again. There's a massive truck making a U-turn that blocks his view for most of the approach.
  21. Maybe work on political and economic stability first.
  22. Thais are terrified of negative consequences, so they are very reluctant to put their neck out and directly conplain or criticise. It's disrespectful to do something about noisy and dangerous motorcyclists?
  23. And closed the door after they went inside the bathroom.
  24. Maybe they had chucked a load of random stuff down the drain to try to clear it, went out and got this new stuff, then poured it straight down the drain and it mixed with whatever else was down there. Why they all died is another question, but, like others said, it's not too crazy to think that they went in there one at a time, each to help the previous person, and all succumbed to the fumes.
