Not sure why this comment got so many 'confused faces' I think you raised some logical valid points here.

Observe how these are all countries that often exhibit a sense of moral superiority

+1 I encountered a similar situation a few months ago. I had joined a lengthy queue to purchase some Khao Moo Krab, I'd been in line for about 10 minutes when it dawned on me: I didn't have any cash. I needed to dash to the nearby ATM quickly. I politely asked a younger Thai guy I had been chatting with in line if they could save my spot. Upon returning from the ATM, I attempted to reclaim my original position. However, an older Thai gentleman began to protest loudly, insisting I couldn't bypass the queue in such a manner. I tried explaining that I had merely stepped away for a moment to withdraw cash, having already waited my turn. He remained unyielding, growing increasingly hostile while proclaiming I must adhere to Thai culture and that i'm not in my country anymore . Surprisingly, he escalated the situation by questioning my immigration status, demanding to see my work permit and passport. His outburst only served to undermine his position, as he came across as rather unreasonable to the onlookers.

This is the sad truth. *sigh*

Yes, it's highly likely they had drugs on them and were worried about being discovered. It's difficult for me to imagine they would react so intensely just because of a 500 THB traffic violation.

that's why i think there might be more to this story...

dregs of society

It could have taken only a few years during his high school for him to adopt the accent.

Doesn't look Australian to me..

Typical for Thais to focus on and express outrage over minor issues, while overlooking more significant, underlying problems that could ultimately lead to their downfall. A mindset that i will never truly understand.

What a bizarre story to post on a forum filled with long-term Thailand expats. As if we haven't seen or heard this before...

Maybe already on overstay & this is just his sob story to soften up the immigration officers for when he gets caught.

Nothing new here. It's very common in Thai society that nearly all men in positions of power maintain a 'Mia Noi' – a second partner.

The collaboration between Srettha and Thaksin presents a compelling dynamic for Thailand. With Thaksin orchestrating strategies from behind the scenes, leveraging his vast experience and innovative ideas, and Srettha taking the forefront to implement these visions, responding directly to the country's needs, this partnership could symbolize a robust blend of insight and action.

Tranny turf wars. Such a fun & loving group these LGBTQ's are..

Okay, i see what you did there 🤣

Thai's are the most insular people i've come across/met.

Great, another criminal to contend with.

well said

Never such uproar when foreigners get robbed by Thai trannys

Deport, deport, deport! We're guests in the Kingdom and should never behave this way.

Exaclty my thoughts. Sad to see Thailand following that path..

Good. Alcohol can be incredibly destructive in so many ways

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Correct. A "restaurant in Thailand," not a "Thai restaurant."
