  1. Depends if you have a sister or not. Plenty of very happy alcoholic unemployed blokes in Thailand.
  2. It's not much fun being a woman in Thailand, that's for sure.
  3. A certain syndrome that some consider to be related to an ex-president is a swearword now?
  4. This very much sounds like it is still mainly about money.
  5. More <removed> nonsense. 🙄
  6. She needs to learn Thai culture a little more. It's normal (where the aggressor isn't foreign) to try to settle things with as little fuss as possible and allow the aggressor to simply pay compensation.
  7. Out partying until 3am, then chilling at his apartment for a while in just his underwear. Still drunk , he went out to the balcony before 4am to have a cigarette and fell.
  8. The most you can hope for is for the people you see regularly to like you.
  9. Seems like the "suicide attempts" might be an indication of why he has suffered so many heartbreaks.
  10. Perhaps it's all just a misunderstanding and this taxi driver, like all Thai taxi drivers, was being honest and charitable, trying to return someone's lost weapons to them. He just got the wrong person.
  11. Amazing that the guy has the nerve to say this when it proves his responsibility. I guess he thinks it's OK because the breaking was sudden.
  12. it sounds more like the the BMW hitting the motorcycle was the crash.
  13. "Times are hard, so the government needs to subsidise our businesses!" Nice idea, but where does all this free money come from?
  14. The circumstances of the crash. It seems like they just went straight into the water, and not even that deep if the basket was still visible. And that flipped them into the water where they immediately drowned? Then there's the mother's chronic illness and stress, combined with the son's mental problems. Add to that Thai people's casual approach to suicide (onto the next life to get away from current troubles), and it's a distinct possibility. Many disabled people can be 38 years old (or older) and still be completely reliant on others. It's not a stretch at all to imagine a (Thai) mother ending her child's life if she decided to end her own.
  15. Murder suicide? She was sick and thought she would soon be gone, and with no one around to care for the son, better to take him with her? Either way, very sad.
  16. Or maybe don't do any weird livestreams during class and just teach the students?
  17. An interesting question over who to blame. You could consider it a freak accident. The mother was temporarily distracted, the baby crawled off, the father had no idea that she was directly behind his vehicle. Should you check the path of your vehicle before reversing? Probably. Do people inspect under every wheel? Probably not. He could have walked round and seen that the path was clear, hopped up into the cab (I assume it's a stupidly impractical giant truck), played with his phone for a couple of minutes while the AC warmed up, then pulled out. Probably everyone's to blame, or maybe no one. Sometimes these things just happen.
  18. Why, that is most unfortunate... 🤔 (This guy needs to learn how to write in the appropriate tone.)
  19. There are loads of cases of Thais losing their sh*t and going crazy. It's very common. Thai people are very controlled and constrained. It's a society where people are not encouraged to speak out or vent. For this reason, every now and then people lose their sh*t, then things go back to normal.
  20. When the aggression of a man combines with the entitlement of a woman... 🙄
  21. But these are palm oil crops that would be there anyway. They're only opting for biodiesel as the price for palm oil has fallen. Even without the biodiesel, the land would be palm oil trees or some other crop. I doubt there is any way that they would return the land to forest, unless maybe the government bought it from them.
  22. They seem to be stuck in a kind of "they need us more than we need them", passive income obsession.
  23. Why? Isn't it both renewable and carbon neutral?
