    Yeah, I'm not history expert, but it's mostly been back and forth between Burma and Cambodia for Thais. No doubt they would all still be here if either of the other two had won.

    That's kind of my point. Nationalism is generally a tool for keeping the masses in line. It isn't done for their benefit. Disliking anything foreign ensures that the only voice the masses listen to are the ones in control. The poor treatment of foreigners is just a kind of side effect.

    I think it's more about needing to feel superior to foreigners. Many other countries covert Westerners and the contribution they make to their societies, both financially and intellectually. Often Thai people seem to look down on Westerners when it comes to education, even though they have a very poor education system, and take their custom very much for granted when it comes to tourism, even though they very much need it.

    Sounds like a lot of time, effort and cost involved in making a pit-bull a little safer but still a danger. Something most owners are unlikely to do. Better to not have them.
  5. BangkokReady
    And if it was a pit-bull then she probably would have been killed. ????‍♂️ This kind of proves the point that those against the owning of pit-bulls are making.

    Seven people, with at least one weapon, against one disabled man. Shameless.

    Not uncommon for them to believe that it's OK to then attack people to defend their "turf" either. I think the problem is that mafia is involved with so many aspects of Thai commerce, mob violence becomes an inevitability in some situations.
  8. BangkokReady
    Yes. That is what actually happened.

    Yup. Quite unpleasant when the Thai Supremacists show themselves with their "rules for thee but not for me". Disappointing. I can understand not wanting land sold off to investors, but at least give the "our ancestors gave their blood" spiel a rest if you have a holiday home in Europe.

    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.
  11. BangkokReady
    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?
  14. BangkokReady
    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. ????‍♂️
  17. BangkokReady
    Why would you not have one? And if you didn't have one, why would you be applying for something that requires one?
  18. BangkokReady
    Why not just kill all the rich people and redistribute their wealth? Then put the people in charge?
  19. BangkokReady
    Surely that should be "an era of hateful speech now from both ends of the political spectrum"?
  20. BangkokReady
    How can she communicate with you but not with her employer?
  21. BangkokReady
    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.
  22. BangkokReady
    No quite. He actually did something, not just pose for a selfie behind a desk.
  23. BangkokReady
    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.
  24. BangkokReady
    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.
  25. BangkokReady
    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.
