Thinking the same thing. A rough surf can undress people but it could also be someone forced themselves on her and drowned her as she fought him off. A full autopsy needs to be done .

Parents and brother were born in Brooklyn, and I in New Jersey. I worked in NYC and visited many times. Most of the fights I saw were in New Jersey bars and none involved weapons. They did get a little out of hand but never did I see anyone kicking anyone while they were already down on the ground. Gangs do that all over the world but regular people no, besides what I've seen and heard of here. Certain kind of mentality where most everyone ends up fighting the same way, passed along generation after generation.

This mirrors the other recent topic where the girl told the driver she didn't want to go the toll road way but he didn't listen. It's their job to take the fare where and how they want to go, period, as long as it isn't breaking any laws. Others here took the drivers side thinking he was in the right. He wasn't.

Some areas here are very popular as an entertainment center because they have prostitution, bars and food. They aren't the family friendly places they promote them as. They just want as many people coming as possible to make that money. They don't care what happens to tourists as long as they spend money and leave. If they did care the amount of crime would be reduced by enforcement. There are many such places worldwide that have the same things, and many flock to them because of it. His deduction is spot on, as it is for NYC, Bangkok, Dallas, Los Angeles, Tokyo and many other places. With good entertainment and positive things comes the bad, because the bad means money also. Yes, you can behave well and never have trouble in these places, or you can be in the wrong place at the wrong time and end up being a victim of a criminal. Pattaya is very popular because of the women there. With those women comes scams, fights, STD's, theft and good times for some. Remember a lot of the smiles are there because they think they can profit from foreigners. There are many people in those "happy entertainment centers" that are there to make money from tourists, any way they can get it. Crime will always come from these areas because crime makes profits. The best way to avoid crime is to stay away from these places, but if it's what you like, you take that risk going there, because they will never change.

What separates an adult from a boy is how they handle those emotions. Here they take to ganging up a lot of the times, and that kicking, sometimes in the head. It's an out of control response from someone who was never taught respect for life and restraint. It might be understandable if these men hurt your child but again what I was pointing out is it was just a slap. No words warrant that behavior and neither does a slap. Yes, some dislike foreigners for a number of prejudiced reasons, but this isn't the way things are handled by men.

I don't see anyone missing that point, or saying it's okay to ever hit a woman. Quite the contrary.

Neither is okay. Taking it to extremes is worse.

How can you assume someone can walk a certain distance without seeing them do it? Maybe he could get off the plane but it's hard for him to walk through the whole airport, as some gates are far from the pickup . You're going to get into real trouble when you insult the wrong old foreigner one day.

Looks like they didn't know a thing about fighting so resorted to the usual kick after they're down act. Still not a reason to gang up 3 against one, kicking him while he's down, for a slap. A man that can handle himself can subdue another with help with no resort to letting it get out of hand. This , like another mentioned, happens because of a certain mentality against foreigners, as well as other locals.

You ignore facts. Playing the word game is childish. A non stop trip means not stopping to sleep. Taking a few minutes break every few hours doesn't take away from it being a non stop trip. Maybe in your thinking but to the rest of us it doesn't.

I didn't call you ignorant. What you're doing is ignorant. I stated what I did. It was a non stop trip. You feel the need to nit pick, like anyone could drive 34 hours without needing to stop for something. Non stop means not stopping to sleep. Humans need to stop for a few minutes for those listed.

No. Anything to argue, instead of replying to the OP.

Why do you come here? Just to troll and nit pick others replies to satisfy YOUR agenda? Drownings here, of both adults and children, is very high yearly, as the link shows. There is a reason for this. Not teaching your kids to swim is the reason. 3-4 daily and over 1300 a year, children alone.

Why are you arguing in such an ignorant way? It doesn't matter what you think a non stop or trip with stops means. Do you actually need to know how many hours a person can drive without taking a pee? It was a non stop trip, which to everyone e;se on this planet means not stopping to sleep.

Try looking it up and watching the daily news, along with stats.............https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/cause-of-death/drownings/by-country/

It isn't Thai bashing to point out what is. More kids, and adults, drown here than a lot of countries. Thailand is actually 22 out of 183 countries. If they really cared, they would make laws regarding driving were enforced, along with having students sit on top of buses to school. You teach your kids to swim as young as possible so if they get near water they don't panic. You don't fear but respect water. A person can float for a very long time once they're taught. ................https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/cause-of-death/drownings/by-country/

The journey was from San Antonio Texas to Bergen County New Jersey. It took me 34 hours to complete the journey. Do you understand cars run out of gas and you need to stop for fuel, along with not waiting 34 hours to take a piss, drink a soda or eat?

Sure it is. A trip with stops means staying overnight. Not stopping to get food or gas or a bathroom break. No one can go more then a few hours without stopping for something.

I only stopped for food, drinks or gas. A few minutes each time.

I was 22 and couldn't wait to get back home to New Jersey from my first trip to Texas. Every time I thought about pulling over to rest I just kept going and was like a zombie when I pulled up back in Jersey. Never again besides the times I drove to Florida from Texas , maybe 900 miles and 16 hours. Now I drive to Bangkok and it's too long.

True but knowing how to swim has you able to reach the shore where you can wait for help, as I know about these ponds here, right in my backyard is one with mud sides where a child would have a hard time getting out of the pond, but at least above the water. Kids drown all over, but here it's an epidemic because of the lack of care enough to teach basics.

Kicking while another is down is and has always been a cowards act. This isn't a fight using martial arts. Locals here think they're all muay thais using haphazard kicks because they don't know how to use their hands or fear breaking them. The majority of gun owners in the US are legitimate owners, hunters, target shooters and carriers for self defense. If someone comes at you with a weapon and you're carrying it isn't a cowards way but the person attackings mistake. Here they use sticks, machetes, guns and knives, and most of them are carrying illegally. Not for self defense but to intentionally attack others.

If anyone wants to see what's written in Thai, they could use google translate. Understand now?

Quite easy to use google translate if they wanted to.

I'm sure. With kicking while down I suppose.
