What happened to you, Thailand?

As I said, this is provably false. -

Another Angry Farang? - don't laugh
BangkokReady replied to pluto72's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
I never witnessed it or heard of it happening, and it doesn't fit with how they behave. Thais pushing in front of foreigners I have experienced, heard of happening, and it fits in with how Thais treat foreigners. -
LIVE: Donald Trump arrives for presidential debate in Atlanta
BangkokReady replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Go watch the video, he looks exactly like that for most of the debate, except he's breathing heavily and swaying from side-to-side in the video. (Possibly he looks worse than in the still.) -

So you don't agree that Thai people are less welcoming than before, but are offering an explanation for it? -
What happened to you, Thailand?

Any evidence for this? I highly doubt that a location catering to masses of foreigners would be happy to switch to a handful of Thais. Equally, I doubt this would cause a change in feelings on a national scale. Of course most Thais in the tourism industry would prefer to deal with Thais than foreigners, if the money was the same, but this feeling would have existed long before covid. Yes, during covid it was nice to travel around because there was no one in Thailand, but people working in the tourism industry weren't happy about this, even though it might have been nice for tourists themselves. This still all sounds extremely illogical. -

I've had Thais jump in front of me a couple of times. The Thai behind the counter just serves them without thinking about it. I walk out. No point in giving racist people your money. -
This thread feels like when two AIs talk to each other.

What happened to you, Thailand?
BangkokReady replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
So, a few Thais travelled to destinations that were previously mostly visited by foreign tourist, and they found the places so much nicer than places that Thai people normally visit, that Thai people in general started to dislike foreigners more? That doesn't seem likely at all. -
Thai woman admits 90 million baht lottery win was a scam
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Isaan News
So the foreigner had 90 million coming their way, but they accepted 50,000? The scam continues... 🙄 -

I think it's the above, plus covid. Their self-esteem took a nock when things got really bad simply because tourists weren't allowed in. This didn't lead to them appreciating tourists more, quite the opposite. Post covid, there have been multiple strong anti-foreigner campaigns also. -
Foreigner fined for threatening Thai cyclist with dogs
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Eastern Thailand News
So not investigate the crime and punish him for that? Check up on him very thoroughly to see if there's any way to deport him? -
The crazy thing is, leading up to the debate, the left-wing MSM has being trying to sow seeds of Trump being incoherent in interviews, presumably as some sort of pre-emptive damage control. I saw one comment somewhere that said something like "They both looked like confused old men", so it seems like the narrative might be pushed towards something like, "Oh yeah, they're both so old and unhinged", just to try to take the focus off of Biden's dementia. It will be interesting to see how they try to spin this.

Seems pretty in line with Thai Buddhism, though. -
Man Assaulted by Girlfriend’s Ex in Samut Prakan

@Gottfrid @stoner @fredwiggy, you should seriously consider just ignoring MalcomB. He's very clearly trolling to get a rise out of people. -
Ex-rock band member relentlessly targeted by online scams
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
This only happened once, according to the article, and I'm not even sure it fits the definition of a scam. -
LIVE: Donald Trump arrives for presidential debate in Atlanta
BangkokReady replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Trump won. Biden looked like a confused old man. This wasn't about Trump v Biden, it was Biden v rumours of being way past the point of being able to be a president. Trump turned up and did what Trump does, Biden's task was to turn up and to put the rumours to bed. Biden failed. -

He looked to be desperately trying to remember what someone had told him to say if the economy comes up. It didn't answer the question, and it didn't make much sense. -

Is that what they're blaming all his mistakes on now? "It's not dementia, it's LSD!" I guess some people might buy that. He is pretty incoherent.
