Mark Nothing

My dissatisfaction was severe enough that I researched what old timers did to fix health problems before our modern medical system took over.

The results, not surprisingly were in direct contradiction with modernly accepts theories. I practice urotherapy.  The application of urine to any affected area.  A true panacea.

To fix my occasional minor hemmorhoids, I apply a urine soaked rag to the affected area for 30 minutes.  Then I say a prayer to activate the power fully, something like, "God please remove the hemmorhoids and retun my body to perfect health."

God gave us our own built in health system that is activated to full power with a prayer.  Works quickly.  Pain reduced immediately and in a few days it disappears.  

I lasted 2 nights in the village before departing, never to return.  The culture shock was too great.

The peaceful tranquility I envisioned was nonexistent.  Noise everwhere all the time.  Chickens crowing all night, neighbors screaming conversation from house to house rather than walking over and talking.  And the morning temple loudspeaker chanting at full volume through a staticky loudspeakers.

The neighbor had a pig farm next to where I stayed.  The attrocious smell was appalling.  Bu the aggressive, biting pig flies were worse.

We bought a few boxes of thai whiskey and the thai men would come over for a bottle.  All shriveled up, unhealthy looking, like they no longer ate food.

The other neighbor strung up a white sheet with flourescent lights to catch bugs in buckets of water.  All the neighbors would eat the deep fried bug bounty.

The entire village was one big animal waste pit. Everwhere. No cleaning of any kind.  Buffalo, dog, human waste.  The women would squat in the yards.  They still wore skirts back then.  I asked why they didn't use inside toilet and the reply was too beautiful to soil.

The people were trying to be polite, but the difference in culture was too severe.  I got the moring bus out.

I wholesale reject the entirety of the virology theories force fed to us.  Too many anomolies to be valid. So what causes a cold and how do you avoid it?

Nikola Tesla had an interesting concept explaining that everything in the universe is frequency, vibration and energy. And that all disease is spiritual in nature and likewise the cure is too. So good health is one vibrating frequency and a cold is another.  Change your frequency vibration and the resulting energy you desire occurs by default.

Your emotions are energy in motion.  Each vibrating at different frequencies.  Dogs can pick these up easily. A prayer is a simple, easy way to change your frequency vibrations and vibrate at a healthy level empowering your immune system.  Request good health and it happens by default. 

Yes your observation is right on the money.  So much so that I limit my contact with thais to an absolute minimum.  No unecessary social contact whatsoever.  The foreigners in my circle of friends are delightful, polite and eager for conversation.  

One of my friends tried breaking the ice with  a waitress this week with a joke that she failed to appreciate and responded nastily, "I am going to put rat poison in you drink."

The antiforeigner news barrage of propaganda is working extraordinarily well.

The unfortunate fact is foreigners live in a social class system here in thailand, whether they know it or not. And it is the basis of thai culture.

And by default this class system thinks so highly of us that we have no rung on the pecking order ladder.  Which means by default foreigners are always wrong.  In every situation.   And they will quickly resort to violence to teach you your place in the ranking. 

I have had a few road rage type incidents with dirty motorscooter taxi boys screaming and pounding on my car windows, due to my polite horn honking when they made eratic maneuvers. 

Another BMW thai driver played cat and mouse blocking my car and getting out with a lead pipe looking to assault me due to polite horn honking to let him know other drivers are on the road too and are concerned about eratic maniac driving displayed.  After a few gyrations I reversed course and the situation calmed with no damage.

The reason 10 thais come to bash a foreigner is due to enforcing the social class system.  Immediate results to teach them they are inferiors.  This should be on the glossy brochures for tourists to understand the futility of demanding their rights.  Avoid confrontation.  It will quickly be 10 against 1.

Yes in my condo building the UK residents who bought in at 75 baht to the pound are all selling out.  They are ageing now and don't like the changes occuring here. 

The long haul flights are a nuisance, they are no longer party animals, they need to be around constant affordable healthcare. They used to come to thailand for 6 months.  Now they come for 2 weeks.  If tgey come at all.

Another perfect example of social hierarchy at play in the land of smiles.  Within this country thais have deemed themselves superior.  Foreigners are conveniently inferior by default.  Inferiors can not dictate anything to a superior without consequences.

To reinforce the lesson the superior thais were required to enact immediate group justice to teach the inferior a lesson and ensure the social hierarchy's correct functioning. The actions of the thugs were justified by their interpretation of the social hierarchy system. 

Foreigners get themselves into unecessary difficulties by not understanding this hierarchy system is the very essence of thai culture. Loss of face occurs when social hierarchy is not followed.   It has been instilled into them from birth.  The reaction is automatic and uncontrollable until they feel the inferior has been adequately trained by group beating or even stabbing.

One of my asian lady contacts stabbed a german during an altercation. He survived and pressed charges.  No jail time.  Just court hassles and fees.

I asked her if she learned her lesson.  She said yes, next time I will wait for him to fall asleep before stabbing him so he doesn't survive to sue me in court.

Thailand is a unique country in that it is based on a foundation of social hierarchy.  Superiors and inferiors.  They are constantly sizing up everyone and labeling them into a pecking order on the rungs of a ladder.

So the social interactions are based on this pecking order.  If the person is superior they are treated differently then an inferior.

Foreigners do not have a position in this system so the result is you are inferior.  Superiors do not admit mistakes to inferiors and will certainly never, ever apologize.
