Let's be honest, we still don't know what actually happened... 🤦‍♂️

Weren't people just whinging about Trump doing this and how it would affect Thailand?

So you think they were targeted and given dodgy booze specifically because they were young innocent tourists? And wiser people would have known it was dodgy?

To fool you into thinking that you've read an interesting and informative article.

True. I suppose that is the attraction of having a slave. Someone that you own, who you can do whatever you want to. There are some very twisted people out there. I feel slightly awkward when waiting staff clear my table. 😆

Then why conceal this important detail from the original post? Sounds like you wanted to leave that out to encourage replies. 🙄

Most likely they're very pleased to see someone they consider to be a tourist, as it symbolises the return of a group that potentially means a significant increase in income. I went to Vietnam just after covid and the local people were very excited to see a foreigner. I went again a year later and the reaction was far more sedate. Enjoy it for the pleasant experience that it is, but don't expect it to be permanent.

An impressive feat for animals with no legs... 🤔

It really seems like it is completely normal in Thailand to be driving at the absolute limit of safety in terms of speed, along with positioning vehicles at a point where any change in nearby vehicles position or speed means a guaranteed collision. Combine this with no seatbelts... Very sad, as it's a total waste and often easily avoidable.

It looks like the lorry isn't completely blocking the road. Also the driver of the lorry says the guy swerved around before he crashed. Possibly he wasn't paying attention or fell asleep. I think the chances of him driving along and slamming into the back of the truck due to not seeing it are kind of slim (although he could have been speeding, maybe with his lights off?).

The prostitutes want them. The well educated hard working women don't. What the OP leaves out is the women are probably 40 while the men are 70.

I think these are fundamentally broken people and would act like that whomever they were married to.

Thailand regularly has things happen that would result in mass lawsuits, closures and jailtime, with a sweeping changes to entire industries in Western countries. Unfortunately, the culture not only leads to these things happening, but also to the consequences never coming.

Why would you want to go down on someone you are paying to please you?

Sounds a lot more like going after low-hanging fruit and trying to distract from the real problems facing Thailand.

The "immigrants" who get free houses aren't paying taxes. You sound woefully ill-informed. I hope Timmy has another source of information on this.

That's what I was wondering. Perhaps it was only as a domestic slave and physical abuse victim, without sexual abuse. But who knows what would have happened once she got a bit older? A bit odd to go to such effort just for someone to clean the house. Good that she escaped and hopefully she has a brighter future now.

In Thailand, yes. But how would Thais react if every other country around the world decided that only locals could work in the massage industry? That was my point.

Can you expand on this a little? From a quick internet search, it seems that "the Prussian model of education" was popular and has influenced modern education systems all over the world. Was there a specific period that it was like this? I always though the "Asian model", if there is such a thing, was far more based on Asian, or possibly communist, beginnings.

Would love to see the reaction if Thai people were banned from working in massage places globally.

Just watched it tonight. I'm not sure about staged, but Paul was clearly holding back. I don't know if Tyson was also, but there really wasn't much going on. Very boring fight. It's possible that Paul didn't actually want to hurt Tyson, as he was scared of any comeback. Or perhaps they were both simply sparing to go the distance.

Can we expect one of these rambling nonsense propaganda posts every few days now? 🤦‍♂️ I suppose this is our "punishment" for Trump winning... 🙄

They are totally incapable of telling the truth..because they wouldn't know the truth is even if it comes and smacks them right in their face as the Trump landslide win shows still believing the MSM/ legacy media propaganda...and wondering how the hell he won ! A lot of these insane lefties believe that what ever we say is the truth. That's why they fight so hard to control the narrative, desperately try to silence people, and come across as trolling/illogical most of the time.

Possible, but why the sudden change of heart?

A neighbour of who???
