No way of telling where people are from, as all nationalities are everywhere.

If you haven't tried, you can't assume

No way to judge people without knowing them, although they might attack McDonalds later.

From a few places actually................https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Australia

Amazes me some still have a completely opposite idea of what weed does to the average person. Fact is, most high end crimes are done by businessmen, who steal much more than 1000 baht. Violence happens because someone is pushed beyond their limits, is doing drugs like meth and yaba which can make aggressive people more aggressive, those who drink alcohol who shouldn't and the mentally ill who aren't on anything but have psychological problems. Ban weed and others will look to those other drugs, that don't have a calming effect.

Good idea, although it would be much better if they did this everywhere, as it would keep many dogs off the sidewalks and streets to sleep, out of danger to themselves and drivers.

They do have a child protection agency here but many parents think hitting is okay here , and some have let teachers punish their children because of this, thinking if they aren't around, someone should be able to "correct" their child. It is illegal for a teacher to hit anymore, although with that mentality it doesn't stop.

I'm thinking that was a we all hear about them answer, as we all hear of murders happening here for very petty things, although there are witnesses to these crimes, and it could have also been him.

That starts with respect learned at home, and it doesn't need beatings to get a point across. Kids are going to get in trouble no matter what you might do,as it comes from having peers that are out of line who they look up to or think are cool. How many children do you see that are smoking and coming from houses where neither parents smoke?

If it's a male yes.

Shorts and a shirt are fine, as there are no dress codes unless it's offensive. I've seen women wearing the shortest of shorts on international flights and I don't get it, unless they've never flown before. It does get cold, especially for 12 hour flights. I can understand Bangkok to Phuket but not 12 hours.

If you know about what a fare should be to a certain place, a set price is okay. If not, using a meter is a safe bet. In a city during rush hour, a meter can cost you, but on the highway during regular times it's okay.

Or like here, whereas in the west, the US for one, a psychopath, at least some of them, stay behind bars.

True, a field trip to the nearest lake with all children learning the basics, although that would take a teacher that can swim, and it seems many adults here have never been shown the basics themselves. It's a parents job first also.
