Why do you have use that word in every post you make Kwilco ? " Racist "

His sort always do , there are two reasons, the firstly is they expect you to react something like Dracula on exposure to sunlight, secondly  its a call to arms for all the other woke types to tear you apart. now that you have theoretically been mortally wounded.

They probably just assume that you don't speak Thai  to a sufficiently high standard in order to explain what you want them to do. Would they be correct in that assumption ?  If  not , then you would be more than capable of politely explaining that to them in their own language.

The perception in the USA and Europe is that the TAT favours Russians, Indians and Chinese, and that Westerners are no longer welcome in Thailand.

You are confusing the sentiments of a few on here with the sentiments of two large continents.

I was surprised that a website that positively discourages racism and stereotypes  thought fit to include a photograph like this to promote this thread.

Use of similar photographs caricaturing Negroes, Indians Muslims or Chinese would have caused uproar amongst the woke and liberal membership and would have been quickly removed by the mods if posted by a member 

I'm not against a bit of racism , I actually think its a basic natural instinct that's hard wired into the human brain.  But what I am not in favour of is double standards and outright hypocrisy

I bet that photo wasn't even taken in Thailand

The thread is about Thai thugs kicking the crap out of falangs not immigration to the UK.

Off course it will be turned around so the falangs are blamed. The next photo will be the 2 falangs wai ing the cowards and presenting a basket of fruit to them.

 Perhaps you could enlighten us as to where the word "falang" appears, either in the OP or the linked article.   Or is it just a figment of your imagination?

Bring back the Krays, E. London would be very different. I thought I was Bangladesh when staying at IBIS Whitechapel! 

You were lucky to get in the Ibis,  I work around Leeds a lot and the Ibis there no longer accepts normal paying British customers anymore, Asylum seekers only ( or at least those claiming to be) Many other hotels I used have gone the same way, and those that have remained open to us have all upped their prices due to the consequential  increased demand.   Yet another benefit of the UK's failed approach to immigration

Similarly in Scotland, especially kicking someone when down. There are repercussions. Must be  British thing. 

Now in Scotland, this square go culture is a thing of the past, i heard. 

I think it is a british thing "queensbury rules"  " A fair fight is a fair fight"  etc but I also think its one of the British values that is gradually being eroded. One of the "benefits" or rather consequences of multiculturalism in my opinion

Brits behaving badly again eh?🙃🙃

            I have no real issues regarding "racism" there are plenty of people I have negative views about based on their race,   I  would not be able to elaborate further, or go into specific detail on here without my post being deleted, but suffice to say I am comfortable with my views, and feel pretty much nothing when the racism word is hurled at me by the woke brigade.

            Do you have similar racist views to me?  If you do that's fine and you can disregard this post, but if like many on here you claim to feel that racism is  inexcusable, unacceptable , and pretty much  totally abhorrent ,  then your post is irrefutable evidence that you are nothing more than a hypocrite

Don't most countries do the same when foreigners or immigrants are involved?

            I think you are probably right, but here 5 or more onto one is  hardly reserved just for foreigners is it . Without wishing to "Thai bash" anybody watching the Ihai news on TV could genuinely be forgiven for thinking that Thai guys save the one on one concept of fighting  for the times when they attack elderly members of their own families.  Maybe out of a sense of respect, or more likely, because more often than not, their friends are not present during the majority of domestic altercations so they have no real choice in the matter.

           However, when fighting amongst themselves and their peers,its clear that  the 5 onto 1 scenario is very very common, almost to the point that it is the norm

            Where I come from, Liverpool Uk . attacks on elderly relatives are very rare,   like any other city, there is  no shortage of scuffles between  youths, but 5 onto one really is frowned upon, by those involved and by society in general,  it is considered a sign of cowardice , and is even  liable to result in repercussions from one's peers, the same can be said for attacking from behind, or kicking a man when he's down.  There is in effect an unwritten code of behaviour for situations involving violence, but  I can see no evidence of such here in Thailand

            I am not arguing the rights and wrongs of this,   as they say "it is what it is" and anybody considering "having a go" at a Thai needs to bear this in mind. Whether they are a foreigner or a Thai themselves

You really aren’t up to speed on this are you?. You have resorted to rather lame logical fallacies that give this away… - I'm replying to this quote regardless of who said it...

 

Reductio ad absurdum

“The secret to avoid road accidents in Thailand.
Would you please share your knowledge with us and reduce the road accidents to "0"”

 

You are characterizing an opposing argument in such a way that it seems to be ridiculous, or the consequences of the position seem ridiculous, but as it is fallacious the opposite is true.

 

Expert - a reverse fallacious appeal to authority, often used by people to attack the messenger rather than the message. People without any argument seem to believe that they can discredit anyone who says something they don’t agree with or didn’t know, by suggesting they are an “expert” or asking them why they think they are an “expert”. As if any opinion other than an “experts” must automatically be invalid

 

 you could have  just admitted  that you misquoted me  and apologised like any normal person.  Instead of making your self look ridiculous by writing such barely coherent twaddle.

If it's secret, you shouldn't be driving.

Well if you are intending to quote me at least have the intelligence to choose some words that I actually wrote and it would also help if you posted what was written in its entirety, albeit by somebody else in this case,  It might help the rest of us figure out what on earth you are trying to say?

"If it's is a secret?       if what is a secret?             " You shouldn't be driving"   Why should the secrecy of whatever you are talking about have any bearing on whether I should be driving or not?  

  I really expected better from our self appointed road safety expert and statistical analysis guru, whatever did they teach you on the one day , entry level ,basic road safety course you bought online from the "Pirate Bay" ? 

I never even mentioned the word "secret"      As you appear "confused" shall we say,  here is what i posted, in reply to somebody else, 

What would be the point other than morbid curiosity?   It might sound heartless but I really could not care less, I have survived  decades of the Songkran madness, and  completely unscathed, it's not that difficult for those with a bit of common sense.  There are more than likely some who are regularly involved in Songkran incidents maybe even every year, we can draw our own conclusions why that might be 

The fact that the person i was replying to,  ( the one you quoted) seems to think  i am privilege to  some sort of secret, which enables me to survive on Thai roads, suggests to me that he should not be driving,      and you should not be posting this late as its obviously past your bed time

It always seems to rain nearby but seldom in Prasat Surin . Another TMD forecast shows that May 6th the temperature falls to 34-36c so another 2 or 3 weeks to endure . I am going to have a heavy electric bill this month with having the aircon on most of the day and night . 

it rains more in Prasat than Kap Choeng I can assure you

What I would do would be to screw some thin plywood or cement board to the underside of those, what look like, 30mm x 30mm steel roof panel supports.

This would create an air gap which would reduce heat significantly. If you could also fill that air gap with fibreglass insulation, that would be even better.

 

I would avoid using wood, it's too tempting for termites and other such pests

What I would like to see is a stat about the REAL number of people that becomes disabled for life and become a real burden to the Thai society because of this.

"Every year, about 1 million people become disabled and become a burden to the Thai society" (500 million baht according to this report).
Assuming that this number remains unchanged over the years, in 30 years time half of the Thai population would be disabled.

This assumption doesn't take into account the number of people which get disabled by other causes (Loss of limbs because of Diabetes and other diseases; Loss of limbs because of industrial accidents; People born disabled; etc.)

I can not believe that the Thai authorities haven't calculated this evolution.

I cant believe the ways some  people waste their time
