Love knows no boundaries – even when it comes to age
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Obviously I can't experience love as other people do, but does anyone else feel that Thais do not experience love like we do in the West? -

Probably a shy boy with absent/uninterested parents and she seduced him and is keeping him hypnotized with sex. Imagine if the genders were reversed. -

It's very likely that he has some mommy issues. But he might find that other "younger" 50 year old women tempt him away as she ages. -

Nobody cares about it and they will never face the same animosity as an older man with a younger woman. It's fairly universal that an older man with a younger woman is seen as predatory while a younger man with an older woman is seen as lucky. The only issue is that we know that the reason for an older man being with a younger woman is so clearly mutually beneficial, whereas a younger man and older woman is slightly harder to rationalise. -
Yeah, it's crazy the things that you hear of someone being stabbed to death/chopped up for here over the years. I know most of our countries are far more dangerous, with much higher rates of violence and murder, but there's something about the way such an insignificant action can result in boiling rage that drives otherwise "normal" people to violently kill. It's so senseless, and they often regret it afterwards. Generally multiple lives ruined for nothing.

The law doesn't mean an awful lot in Thailand. There are many laws that if the police started to enforce there would be public outcry and superiors would tell their officers not to enforce those laws again, but they would remain on the books. Society as a whole bears responsibility for a lot of what happens in Thailand.

55 seems an incredibly young age to retire. Are many 55 year olds decrepit and needing to rest? 65 seems far more appropriate. At 55 that could be almost half of a life spent retired for some. I guess the whole populist, subsidising nature of the Thai economy has made people extremely complacent. I'm not sure how having people retire at 55 is in any way sustainable or even desirable.

Kind of, but it's really a socio-cultural issue. There are more people that could change things than just the police. You could argue that nobody considers it to be dangerous or that the police should be all over it. You can't really expect just one element of a society to suddenly become concerned about an issue that no one else even thinks about. This applies to many things in Thailand that foreign people view as dangerous or harmful.

It remains so fascinating that several users here push the narrative that Thais have some sort of next-level peacefulness, when we see so many instances of Thais killing each other over the slightest and most trivial indiscretions. Very sad for an evening to end up this way. Especially attacked from behind with a weapon. So often we see this senseless violence, normally followed by the perpetrator being led away and warning others not to be like them. I wish they would teach about consequences a little more here. But then maybe it wouldn't be as fun or relaxing as it is...

Very sad, but think about the many foreigners who are facing the same fate. They have far less support while having the added stress of also being discriminated against, individually and systemically, and treated like they all have covid.

Chances are that they would be opening and closing again repeatedly over a number of years while the rest of the world potentially gets back to normal through exposure. Ridiculous. Eventually (probably after they see numbers really start to drop in the Western world and the outcome is clear), they will announce proudly that their experts have researched and tested Omicron carefully and decided that the best course of action is to open up and let the variant spread, with caution, creating natural immunity.
