  1. Drinking is a not a necessity. Comapring an expsnive part of Bangkok for rent is irrelevant when you look at the average rental costs in Thailand and oher areas of BKK. Thailand is still super inexpensive. How many othr places in the world can you easily find rent for a clean and safe room for as little as 3,500 THB per month? Where else are you able to find a Condo for a little as 6k per month with security, swimming pools gyms etc? Food is still super cheap- 40 -50 THB per meal to eat outside.. 3 of thsoe per day - 150 THB to eat well every day.. it's really nothing Again, as i stated in my previous post, Thai people live wayyy above their means! No one ever put a gun to their head and told tem they have to take a loan out to buy a brand new car, buy the latst Iphone, or eat in Shabu Resturants 3 times per week...
  2. All scaremongering tactics - Inflation has barely hit Thailand like it has in most western counries! Sure, Fuel prices have risen by 7 THB. Food prices have gone up a litle with alcohol prices , but other than that, eveyhting else like rent, internet, phone packages, and transportation costs have remained pretty much the same for for the past 5 plus years. The issue i see is that Thai people live WAYYYY above their means. They splurge on things that they can't actually afford and take bank loans out for band new cars, when they cou;d just buy a good used car, buy the latest Iphones, and other gadgets, while thyre on a 15,000 THB per month salary ... This is a social issue of saving safe and having to look like you have money to impress others around you.
  3. No they do no need to have a nudest beach section. It's fine as it is. Just respect Thai culture, or get out!
  4. Resorting to outdated sexist jokes instead of addressing the actual point only shows that you don’t have a real argument. Humor can be a way to deflect, but it doesn’t change the fact that using past cultural norms to justify present-day practices is a logical fallacy
  5. The fact that something was culturally acceptable 100 years ago doesn't mean it's acceptable today. For example, denying women the right to vote was once considered normal in many societies. This is why it's a fallacy to justify present-day practices solely on the basis of their past acceptance
  6. There's far too much of this on the internet these days. Just look at the countless Facebook and Instagram reels featuring girls dancing provocatively in their underwear. Children are exposed to this content daily, and many end up mimicking it, thinking it's acceptable behavior. This kind of material should be age-restricted and kept out of reach of young audiences
  7. Letting children watch coyote dancers moving provocatively in public isn't healthy or age-appropriate. Do you think it's okay ?
  8. Is that a good thing? I think it's a bit Fu*** weird, don't you?
  9. They're either ignorant or likely stuck in their bubble—whether it's Pattaya, Phuket, or Sukhumvit Road's Nana area.
  10. I'm not sure why some morons left a funny or confusing emoji to my original comment.. If you actually bother to step out the tourist areas, you'll realize that these are the standard prices at local Thai markets. I literally went to my local market 2 days ago and paid 40 THB for a huge serving of Mango Sticky rice. Other vendors were selling smnaller portions 30 THB
  11. You're right, Muay Thai originated as the 'Art of Killing,' created for combat in warzones due to Thailand's long history of territorial disputes, like those with Burma. While it evolved into a sport, its origins are rooted in real-life survival. However, when it comes to danger in modern combat sports, boxing generally carries a higher risk of fatalities per fight. This is largely due to boxing's focus on head strikes, which leads to more cumulative brain trauma and a higher chance of severe injuries or death. In contrast, Muay Thai’s emphasis on strikes to the body and legs reduces the frequency of fatal head injuries, making it statistically safer in terms of long-term brain health and deaths during competition
  12. Judging from numerous Facebook and YouTube comments, it appears that most Thais agree with what happened to him. Below, I’ve shared some of the most "liked" comments from Thais across various social media platforms: - "I don't support violence, but these freeloaders have gotten used to it. Go all out." - *"Was this foreigner prosecuted when they assaulted a Thai person?" - *"When they break the law, authorities hesitate to punish them harshly for fear of damaging the country's tourism reputation. So, do locals end up taking matters into their own hands instead?" - *"Excellent!"* 😊
  13. Guess he <deleted> around enough to find out....
  14. Suprised he hadn't already been deported
  15. I think this is a good idea. It helps to keep most of the area clean, quite and safe for thsoe who want to relax or sleep early without being woken up by drunks.
  16. Great decision! There's nothing worse than having to endure loud drunks on a long journey. Keeping things calm and quiet definitely makes the trip safer and more peaceful.
