Public Indecency at Wat Phra Kaew Spurs National Outrage and Debate
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
It's true. It's totally one sided not to prosecute a child who needs to go to the toilet to the same extent as a man who spray paints a wall. They're exactly the same and to not treat them the same is to show favouritism towards foreigners. 😑🙄- 182 replies

Expect Increase in COVID-19 Cases as School Term Approaches
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
So... stay locked down forever? Close the businesses, study online, work from home, forever? -
Probably the best way to explain it is to say that a lot of the time "good service" simply doesn't exists as a concept in Thailand, at least not the way we know it. It's like asking why Thai people don't know where your house is, or what your Grandfather did for a living. They simply aren't familiar with it. You ordered the food, it came, you ate it. They didn't cause you to lose face. They didn't do anything that they believed would have negative consequences for them. They didn't disrespect you (in their eyes). So it's all good. You're talking about people who would rather lie that something is delayed, than tell you it is unavailable, because that might make you get mad at them, even though you wouldn't, and now you are mad because of the delay. But in their culture, you're not meant to show that you're mad anyway. It all makes sense to them. Try not to expect it to make sense to us.

Why do so many people smoke in Thailand?
BangkokReady replied to Everyman's topic in Stop Smoking Forum
Go to Vietnam if you want to see what a lot of people smoking looks like. It's still pretty rare in Thailand. The problem is, apart from people really liking smoking, is that it's a kind of "it won't happen to me", "it's only one cigarette", "I'll quit soon" kind of thing. I actually just saw an interesting YouTube video on it. -
I think he means in terms of people being allowed to criticise the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza without being called antisemitic. Presumably, if you falsely label someone as antiemetic in order to silence or discredit them, then you are weaponising antisemitism. (Perhaps, though, this is weaponising the label, rather than the act.)

The ridiculous amount of Public Holiday's in Thailand
BangkokReady replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
The Thai government like to keep Thai people happy. There is a huge fun element to education, food and fuel is massively subsidised, lots of holidays. -
Thai Man Arrested for Attempted Sexual Assault at BTS Station
BangkokReady replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Quite possible that if you take a cocktail of drugs you end up completely out of it and unable to control yourself. But it's no defence. Prevent anyone on drugs from entering the BTS station? You want security officers on every entrance, stairs, escalators and lifts? And they need to be testing people to see if they're on drugs? Could work, but it would cost a lot and make travel almost impossible. (Where do some people get these ideas?) -

Expect Increase in COVID-19 Cases as School Term Approaches
BangkokReady replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Good stuff. Keep the infections up, keep the immunity going, and keep covid evolving until it gets milder and milder. Is it even any stronger than the flu right now as it is?- 88 replies

Do you mean gik? Who cares if they dont walk around holding hands with their younger mistress? That doesnt make it any less normal to have a younger mistress. Also, people not approving doesn't make it not normal either. I'm not sure you know what normal means. Also, Thais don't really care what other people do if it doesn't affect them. It sounds like you really don't know Thaialnd.
