So if so much as one foreigner buys a 1 rai plot of land, that will be part of Thailand being annexed by said foreigner? That's some really bad interpretation.

Interesting approach. I suppose it's easier to take just the finger and then demand some money for its safe return.

Probably mostly foreigners. Different culture, different attitudes to death and Western history. Did he come up with it out of the blue, or did he watch the Netflix show? That seems to have made Dahmer (the character at least) very popular in Thailand. What about Che Guevara or Chairman Mao t-shirts?

Do you have to visit twice regardless of whether you are getting a completely new licence or renewing an old licence?

From the untrue to the bat-sh*t crazy.

No idea of the actual circumstances, but I could imagine if it was the case that she started an argument, then called the police when he argued back, that would be pretty troubling. Especially if the police then sided with him. Very little protection for foreigners in Thailand. I think a similar things happened to a guy but he set fire to a house before hanging himself. No doubt in an effort to stop it going to the wife.

I'm not trolling at all. You or your landlord are meant to register your address with a TM30 at some point and many procedures ask for a receipt of TM30. That's it. ????‍♂️

Why would you not have one? And if you didn't have one, why would you be applying for something that requires one?

Why not just kill all the rich people and redistribute their wealth? Then put the people in charge?

Surely that should be "an era of hateful speech now from both ends of the political spectrum"?

How can she communicate with you but not with her employer?

If you have home driving licence with no IDP, do you need it to be "certified" by your embassy? That's what some websites seem to suggest.

No quite. He actually did something, not just pose for a selfie behind a desk.

They haven't even proved that they are "Thai bashers" and not simply "people saying something that they don't like about Thailand". That would be the first step. I think it's simply argument ad hominem.

Yes. It's taking place in Thailand. Issue the weapons, note down make, model and serial number. Then have a yearly audit. Any missing guns mean the officers who own them are fired.

The problem is that no one is ever held accountable. It's just the way things are throughout Thailand. Nothing will ever change until Thai culture has a massive shift.

What I found interesting, was that this user began by agreeing with the post he was replying to (about Thai men being genetic supermen with psychic abilities), and saying anyone who doesn't like Thai men must have mental issues, but then moved onto this mini tirade against everyone found living in a city. Presumably most foreigners in Thailand are living in cities. There's a real feeling of "don't make a broad generalisation about Thai men based on years of living in Thailand, the three Thai men I hang out with are all super smart and friendly". That or they seem to be focussing on well educated, upper middle class Thais with good English who holiday abroad, which is not really average. I wonder if these people actually understand how generalisations work.

Whatever floats your boat. I don't like him and have no desire to listen to him.

Take has a reputation for being a bit creepy. He's a kind of "dating guru", but he doesn't have mainstream appeal. I wouldn't listen to anything he says. You can be rich or tough and still be stupid and mean.

Would you say that this description applies generally to most Thai men, or only the ones you socialise with? Does this apply to say, teachers, taxi drivers, manual labourers, government officers, and so on? It's a typical mindset that you are more likely than not to find in any Thai man you meet? Whether in Bangkok or in the provinces? Is that it?

A good point. I think that Bob and Spark should have really defined what they mean by friendship when they began disagreeing. (Although I think Bob pretty much did when explaining what he wanted.) One person might consider a friend to be someone they know well and trust, meet up with regularly and do something, such as dining, alone together; while another might consider a friend to be someone they know by name, say hello to whenever they see them, and occasionally pass the time of day.

I'm not sure that both of these statements can be correct.

I think its just called "The Interview". Someone like James Franco and Seth Green win a chance to interview Kim Jon Un and try to kill him, I think.

I would assume they mean that a Thai woman is tainted after laying with a foreigner.

It isn't a bitter tone. I don't see any of the above in the comment of the user you quoted. "I haven't made friends here in 30 years", "I tend to give Thai men a wide birth". Neither of these sentences have a sense of angriness or unhappiness. They don't actually show much emotion at all. And my English is very good. (I know I didn't use the exact quote, but I'm going from what you wrote above.)
