She's lucky they had vinegar handy, given the alternative treatment. 

And lucky they knew it is a remedy. I sure learned something today.

Please excuse my sarcasm, but it is difficult for many people to understand what the Palestinians have against the Israelis.

 

In 1948, David Ben-Gurion, born in Płońsk in Poland, and thus not a Palestinian, proclaimed the establishment of the State of Israel. Note that the British, who held Palestine until May 1948, opposed both the creation of a Jewish state and an Arab state in Palestine as well as unlimited immigration of Jewish refugees to the region. It's almost as if Britain knew something would happen.

 

Now imagine that a member of the Manhattan tribe of native Americans declared New York was their spiritual land of Manhattan and they were taking it as their own. Would Americans have peacefully handed it over? Or if Saxons of Northern Germany declared that London was their spiritual home and moved there en masse? They did try. When their descendants wanted to take Britain, they were met with: "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." Sounds ominous.

 

It seems that the locals would have been a little upset.

Maybe that's why the American First Nations or Australian aborigines stay quiet: they have been massacred. Should I draw a parallel with " In 1776, ..."?

Plan B could be to move out to a more friendly countries in Asia, with less immigration hassles, hotter gals, cheaper prices and great quality of living.

Malaysia. The Philippines. I also lived in Japan for a while, MUCH less expensive than I thought. 20 kilometers north of Tokyo (Koshigaya), I paid USD 450 a month for a two-room apartment. Food is inexpensive too in supermarkets.

out of control greed

Or, maybe, the war in Ukraine? Thailand welcomed Russians "expats" fleeing Putin's drafting.

When they will understand that digital nomads need freedom and no time wasted in fulfilling bureaucratic tasks, when they will open the country with 90-visa-free, it will be too late. many OTHER countries have implemented that already.

Why is he apologising to the Thai people?

Because he was told to do so.

example of how thai people control themselves.

Aww! That never happens in the UK of course. And in the USA, they are perfect examples of restraint as for using firearms. But, of course, Thai people!

Maybe he stabbed himself before, and seeing he could not succeed, slit his throat. But even that is suspicious, because slitting one throat with a chopping knife is dubbious.
