Huh... Or how humanity is turning even more stupid as it already was... OK, low hanging-signs is one part of stupidity: it is indeed very dangerous for blind people, for whom the white pole is in this case of no help. But tourists?? Jogger?? When they were kids, hadn't they been instructed by Mom and Dad to always watch out where they were HEADing to?? I wonder this each time when I am in Bangkok: people, especially big fat Westerners are not even looking in front of them when they walk! Same with Asians with the nose on the smartphone while walking! The same people will later complain and lament, that women are not wearing high heels anymore. Except that they just ignore that because of them, ladies in high heels coming from the opposite directions had to make challenging maneuvers just to avoid them!

This is nothing new: governments throughout all countries encourage one thing, naive people invest into this, and once everyone is seriously indebted, governments make a U-turn. Then, banks seize all properties from the same naive people who cannot pay back their debts. Remember the subprime crisis in 2007? Similar story! Same story everywhere with people being encouraged to start smoking, just to only be ostracized like criminals decades later (I am a non-smoker, so just observing). Or to buy diesel cars and then be called all possible names in the name of the climate, etc... Conclusion: never trust any government, never ever follow the masses either!

As a former teacher myself, I only believe in homeschooling. Teachers are unfortunately unprepared to face: stupid school boards undisciplined kids packed like sardines in a classroom parents who complain that their kids are not making enough progress, while refusing to discipline them Of course, what this teacher did was not right, but much worse: waiting to happen!

AC seems to be one big issue in Thailand, which I had never faced before in any other Southeast Asian country. In most shopping malls, I feel cold, which makes me wonder how topless girls can handle this... Maybe they are used to... Let alone in Starsucks Cafés: I always see female students bringing their blankets in order not to freeze. But the Guiness Record for stupidity definitely belongs to the BMTA bus drivers! Short after they got their brand-new battery electric buses, one of them set the AC at full power and full blowing speed! No clue at how many degrees it was set: the - always inaccurate - speed and temperature indicator displayed 5°C! No idea, whether such AC with such low temperature exist, but it was freezing cold and I got sick! The stupid bus driver and the stupid fare collector?? Guess what?? They were wearing anorak!

Any lawyer expert in Thai Laws here? Which laws did he break? driving drunk causing accident verbal attack to a Thai civilian verbal attack to Thai policemen wandering nacked refusing to be arrested And what well-deserved sanctions is foreseen for such trouble maker? -
This must be the great economic success of the highly celebrated North-European social democracy, that every one in this world envies! This model makes such marvels that Finnish kids have to scam their own parents in order to finish their holidays in a much more affordable country! And shall I mention all those cheap Scamdinavians coming on holiday to Hua Hin, and at the same time pressuring local tailors and dressmakers to make cheap prices to the point of not even covering all costs?? And that shall be the successful North-European model??

Irishman’s life hangs by a thread after mosquito bite in Thailand
Modern Coding replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Article has never stated he got bit in the taxi, it just says the man was in the taxi when trouble occurs. Normally, it takes a couple of days after being bit before the symptoms appear; he might have been bit days before, who knows... With journalism à la Bild Zeitung like they do at Thaiger, you never get to know the whole story... -
Irishman’s life hangs by a thread after mosquito bite in Thailand
Modern Coding replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Ugh... Any doctor here? Not being any expert, so just asking and researching. And here is what the WHO writes about dengue, https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/dengue-and-severe-dengue: Now, here is what Thaiger writes, just referencing Agence France-Presse without any further research (really Bild-Zeitung level journalism!), https://thethaiger.com/news/national/irish-mans-life-hangs-by-a-thread-after-mosquito-bite-in-thailand: Are we sure it is really dengue?? Have they really undergone blood test and found DENV-x virus?? -
Taiwan seeking answers over hit and run death in Bangkok
Modern Coding replied to snoop1130's topic in Bangkok News
Then, why people stay in Thailand if for only complaining? Why don't they leave for another place?
