I heard that a taxi driver in Bangkok got fined 2000 baht for killing a farang pedestrian. That's it. 2000 baht.
When I cross the street my head is on a swivel. I probably look left and right 6 times before I get to the other side of the street.
Meh, some people want to be far away from their relatives.
Reminds me of a line in the Morris Panych's play Vigil: I'm sorry I said all those awful things to you but I thought you were a relative.
Also reminds me of my favorite line in Jean-Paul Sartre's play No Exit: Hell is other people.
I hear some Thais reach down to the ground in pretending to pick up a rock to throw at the dog. If there are a lot of aggressive dogs you could always carry a real rock.
Hmm, would carrying a hammer and some nails be legal?
Any yet, it is the dodgy farangs showing up in the news. Go figure!
On a side note, a woman once told me at Eden Club that the majority of British visitors enjoy being buggered. Make of that what you will.
Meh I don't think it will make any real impact. Cashed up farangs and asians will easily be replaced by other cashed up farangs and asians. The only thing that slowed down tourism overall in Thailand was covid.

Joel is white AF. Perhaps he is another radical Christian?
