  1. Not to worry, Thailand will just raise prices to make up for any tourist number declines.
  2. What is the Brit's name? Isn't the name usually published? Makes me think he will be able to pay his way out.
  3. What abuse? Getting asked to remove her shoes? If she was getting abused like she claimed (again doubt, like most Thais), she should have taken out her phone and started recording. Everyone takes out their phone to record abuse nowadays.
  4. Stated by the rude entitled Israeli who I'm going to doubt here. Her behavior fits a pattern and she is just making excuses after she got caught. The key point here is that she told a Thai that "my monee built your country" <mic drop> <wink> in 4K. Great viral moment.
  5. Sure it could have happened that way. We don't know what happened before the video.
  6. Best solution: No farangs in Thailand. No farangs to say ni hao and no farangs to call farang. Peace achieved.
  7. Nah, probably just a misunderstanding. No need to be sensitive about it.
  8. I had plantar fasciitis pain so bad I bought a brace thinking it would help. Ice worked better than the brace or any painkillers.
  9. Maybe the farang "ni hao"ed the Thai. A tit for tat, so to speak. The titties are big indeed.
  10. I thought that he was a Brit at first. But he says "Australia" three times. So bogan is more appropriate. Also, he says "Come on, then" multiples times. That's a commonly used phrase in Australia.
  11. Watching The Pitt now. As I get older, medical dramas become more interesting.

  13. Well, any rich foreigner. The Thais want to keep milking this Swiss cow.
  14. You can get tested to check if you ever had chickenpox. Before my chickenpox vax, the doctor tested to confirm that I never had chickenpox. Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) Antibody Test (IgG) This test detects IgG antibodies, which indicate past infection or vaccination. A positive result means the person is immune (either from having had chickenpox or from the vaccine). A negative result suggests no prior infection or vaccination, meaning the person is susceptible to chickenpox.
  15. Oh, look. A farang kicking someone when he is down on the ground. Isn't that cowardly?
  16. During covid every Asian abroad was Chinese. Even before covid, in Morocco everyone was Ni Haoing every Asian in my tour group even when they are not Chinese. It would be annoying for farang if every Thai person greeted them in Russian in a mocking way. That may yet happen in Phuket. I'm not surprised that the farang mentioned in the article was Italian though. Italy is one of most racist countries in Europe. The ranger was lucky he wasn't black.
  17. Even Thais can enjoy the German delicacy of schadenfreude.
  18. Yup, especially when the Dailymail headline is "Instant karma! Swaggering tourist gets humiliating lesson after gathering a crowd and challenging bouncer to a fight outside Thai bar". It makes for a nice warning to the Brits. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14617097/tourist-lesson-crowd-challenging-bouncer-hotspot.html
  19. More video of the farang getting handsy in the bar. Not a good idea to piss off the mamasan? https://www.reddit.com/r/ThailandTourism/comments/1k0hqab/tourists_misbehaving/
