Student activists campaign against judges at Thai universities
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
It works both ways though. The Arab Spring and Mao's cultural revolution were led by students -
Kind of sounds a little like they're concerned about the rising number of jobless and homeless people and what that says about Thailand's economy. As a result, they want to get rid of the symptoms rather than solve the problem. Stop giving money to beggars, they go away or die, people can't see how many people are living in poverty in Thailand. Sorted!

People’s Party Surge: 84% Would Vote Today, Poll Reveals
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
How would that happen if they were isolated and being fed lies? They could be convinced that the protestors are the bad guys who want to harm good innocent Thais. Think about it. -
Bangkok taxi driver slashes passenger’s head after overcharge (video)

Amazing that you can be attacked and seriously injured, but you still need the help of some sort of pressure group to get the police to do anything. -

It's not impossible. It's actually quite easy to indoctrinate soldiers. Isolate them then feed them propaganda about the protestors. They're these types of people, they did these things, etc... -

British Tourist Assaulted and Robbed on Bangla Road in Patong
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
He's a troll, so he's saying whatever he can to aggravate people. Presumably he's implying that the tourist was in the wrong and was either doing something illegal or gay and it went sour. Best to just ignore this user. He rarely makes any sense and has been on the forum under multiple troll accounts for ages. -
British Tourist Assaulted and Robbed on Bangla Road in Patong
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
Could have been begging, the tourist gave him some money, the beggar wanted more, the tourist said his wife had the rest, so the beggar attacked him and stole his bag. Or perhaps it was a "soft-mugging" that turned violent. -
Fight Breaks Out Between Tourists and Local Workers on Karon Beach
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
You can find it on the Phuket news if you google the article title. -
Tricky. A lot of Thais see it as their duty to get money out of foreign pockets and into Thai ones. There's even a special name for foreigners who don't give money freely to Thai people - farang keenok. There's also the chance of her losing face if you don't tip enough. Ask her how much a Thai would have tipped.

Basically as the title. What are some things that are essential for safe riding back home that might get you in trouble in Thailand? I've heard of things like obeying traffic signals or zebra crossings can get you read-ended (so have a real good look around). What else? Should you still stay in the centre of the lane unless overtaking? Or should you just constantly lane split like Thais do? Any tips for what you need to learn/unlearn would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Photo of tourist at Thai temple sparks online debate
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Chiang Mai News
It's the effect of social media, and not reserved for Thais. Some people are desperate for something to be outraged about as they see it as a good way of getting attention and feeling special.
