    A Pissed Off Thai Guy

    It sounds like you're saying that you've hired hit men to kill three people over the past few years. I'm not getting picky about grammar but curious if this what you really meant.

    I have had three of my students father's gunned down and killed in the last few years!

    What can I say, I'm a strict teacher! Student steps out of line, I take out the father! :D

    Thanks for pointing out the error, looking back at it, its a good one. :o

    I have been coming to Nakhon for thirty years. My family live about sixty km outside town, though many are in amphoe Muang. One of my uncles was shot and killed four months after causing someone to lose face. The offended party had a long memory and had given warnings, he did it himself. He never went to jail, payed of the police. My grandfather was kidnapped in 1977 and held for three months until a ransom of B3 million was paid. There was never any doubt that they would kill him if they were not paid. I know of dozens of cases from my relatives of people being gunned down, some for what we would consider trivial perceived offenses.

    Sure, the farang in this case will probably never have a problem and all will be forgotten. But maybe not. Maybe something will happen. It only takes one meeting in the evening where one of the parties is drunk and things could look very different. This is a small town really, and you can be sure they will eventually frequent the same establishment. Or maybe the Thai won't forget. Who knows? Is it worth the risk? You only die once.

    Farang in Nakhon rarely see the dark side of the place. They are basically outsiders, they are not normally involved in the things that get one killed. Though a few have over the years. Considering how few farang are in Nakhon and especially up to about five years ago, I am sure you would find it statistically significant.

    Don't get me wrong, I truly like Nakhon and intend to stay here for many years. Sure, maybe you are statistically more likely to get yourself killed here but the chances are pretty remote. Much more likely to get killed by one of the lunatic drivers in town! It certainly makes life exciting! :o

    Sheesh - are you guys Men or Mice?

    When it comes down to a confrontation in Nakhon with a guy who almost always has a gun on him? I am a mouse! :o This is exactly the situation that gets most people who are shot down here in trouble. It is a daily problem in this town. He would not be the first farang to be killed on the spur of the moment in a confrontation here. Simply not worth the risk, I like life! Many Thai here stand their ground and are not bothered if they kill someone. I have had three of my students father's gunned down and killed in the last few years!

    Very dramatic all this, so come on, what did he do that was so bad it might get him topped?

    It was a confrontation in traffic. The Thai was insulted in public. He believes very seriously.

    If I were the foreigner I'd try to make amends through a respected intemediary. Or accept that my inaction will very likely significantly change the quality or course of my life.

    I may be wrong here but my understanding is that the two parties have already spoken and the Thai chap refused the apology! :o

    What should you do? Probably can't do anything other than give the farang advice. Thai chap is unlikely to listen to any reason. If the Thai has power, money, influence etc., it is extremely unlikely the police will do anything but help him; might even take the problem off his hands!

    From what I understand, it was a very stupid situation to get oneself into in the first place. Overall, best advice would be to get out of town, at least 300 or 400 km away. Very unlikely for the Thai to follow for the perceived offence that was committed.

    How Bad Can It Get

    Yes, he has had some bad breaks. The school treated him terribly. Looks like they backed down on almost all they promised him after inviting him over from retirement in his home country and a bereavement! I also understand that the steering broke as he was driving resulting in his unfortunate meeting with a roadside ditch and drainage pipe!

    One has to hand it to him sticking it out here, truly hope his luck is in for a change, jolly nice fellow.

    Well, it's nice to know you all get on so well !! I'm stuck out here in Ron Phibun, and the only other person I know who isn't Thai is Gizelle who's in Sichon, the other side of the Metropolis to me.

    Incidently, my original posting was aimed at members of this forum, be they Thai , Brit, Serbo Croat or from Upper Volta. I didn't intend to mislead you all into thinking it was an attempt at getting a subversive group of white power freaks together!

    So is there anyone in Tung song or Ron who wants to be a little bit sociable?

    I know for sure I 'll be going to Seans place though I don't quite know how soon it will be, though I'd be grateful if Sean would give me directions from my approach to Nakhon, either by PM or on here, whatever.

    I shall remember to keep a stoney face next time I see a Farang in Carrefour or Tesco's !!!

    Don't take Snowflake to seriously, he loves to be contrary. We get on pretty well in NS. Always glad to have a chat with someone, be they white, black, pink or green! Even in Carrefour or Tesco!

    Easiest way from Ron Pibun is to head into Nakhon, and turn left onto Patanakukwan road (the one with Tesco, Twin Lotus and Ocean) then follow my instructions in the post about good farang food in Nakhon.

    Too many white people in Nakhon now!! Little snowflake i agree..........

    Not commenting on it being good or bad but I remember when Snowflake and I started (on the same day) in Nakhon six years ago. There were very few white folk around in Nakhon. One used to stop and enquire where they were from etc.. Used to be treated very differently by the locals as well. I think there was a lot more respect from the ''Nakonites''.

    is there somewhere all us locals can meet up, maybe Seans in that Moo Baan I haven't a clue to the location of. Anyone up for it?

    Weekends sound good coz of the breaky! Might be good for networking etc.

    Cheers

    Sounds like a great idea, count me out of it though... good luck, getting everyone together... how long time will it take to cook for all 150 Sean? by the way, is it only the white foreigners or all colours with different passports?

    how many do you think it will be...

    Snowflake is an unsocial git, hates farang get-togethers. Good mate though.

    We had a monthly get together about 5 years ago, fewer farang around then, around 8-12 people would show up. I suspect wherever it is held you could not expect more than 20-30 out of the 150.

    We have a very small scale operation at the moment, will be expanded with a bigger menu over the next couple of months. 20-30 we could handle if we knew people were coming and they did not all order at once. At the moment, having just started, the number of people coming to eat is very erratic, could be one or two farang one night and 15 the next, so hard to plan and prepare for.

    Bored In Nakhon And Nothing To Read - Book Swap?

    in Southern Thailand

    Posted

    TheLorax Posted Today, 2007-07-26 02:17:01

    Nakhon seems to lack good used book shops, and the English selection at Ocean seems to be limited to Harry Potter, Dan Brown, and those horrible Asia Press books about getting scammed by Thai bar girls and/or spending time in BKK prison.

    Anyway, would anyone be interested in a book swap?

    A quick inventory says I have:

    - Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut

    - Monkey Brain Sushi, a collection of Japanese short stories

    - Lonely Planet Taiwan

    - Lucky Jim, Kingsley Amis

    - The Hobbit, JRR Tolkien

    - Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit, PG Wodehouse

    - JPOD, Doug Coupland

    - Notes of a Dirty Old Man, Charles Bukowski

    We have a book swap section in my wife's restaurant, its not a great library, about 100 books and growing. Anyone is welcome to hand a book in and take one out. Book donations also accepted!

    Turn left out of Ocean, down to the traffic lights and turn right, out of town. Its four km. down, you will pass a cement works on your right (1km), keep on going about another three. Just after the small crossroads turn left into Baan Saeng Dewan Laguna. Shop houses are on the left just inside the gates. You will pass several moo-baans on the way down, Saeng Dewan is the last one, look for the big, formerly, ornate entrance. Apart from the T-junction at the cement works there is only the small crossroads before the moo-baan.

    Finally Some Decent Farang Food In Nakhon Si Thammarat.

    A "good hamburger" (sic) is a strange object, associated with love bullets and sweet criminals !

    And what you call a "culinary need" is just a crave for junk food, you are wrong to associate all "falangs" with it !

    Your understanding of the English language seems to be lacking. Logarhythm did not associate all ''Falangs" with a craving for hamburgers. Unfortunately, you seem to have little idea of what good food is. Like all food, hamburgers can be of high quality and low (junk).

    There are a lot of people, classified as "falang" too, that have more decent tastes regarding food.

    This is a rather puerile statement.

    US people tend to beleive they are the navel of the world, in fact, rgarding food, they just are its rectum !

    Whilst not being of North American stock, I find this a most insulting statement. You obviously have no knowledge or experience of food in America. Having lived there for three years, I can assure you that they have food of very high quality. as good as anywhere.

    If you feel the need to be insulting I suggest you take your rants to one of the other forums where it is more acceptable.

    Yours truly

    Thanks Sean... This is much better... let you know how it goes..Cheers Mate.

    Hope you enjoy the food. Probably see you there, I am there every evening. Its my wife's place! :o

    By the way.. can you locate a possible Steak Shop... Not the one by Ocean.. Cheers

    The only half decent steak house I have found here in 5 years is Steak & More. Go South, past Wat Mahatat about 1km. Its on the left just before the second hump back bridge past the temple. The road widens out just after the bridge. Can't think of any particular land marks other than that. The New Zealand sirloin is not bad and you can get them to do it blue!

    Howdy Partner.. could you give some landmark locations.. In relation to Robinson/Ocean.. Thanks.. Cheers mate
