  1. Terrible. But why .. WHY do Thai people .. (or anyone living in a hot climate) .. own dogs like SIBERIAN Huskies? Just because you think the dog looks adorable and cute .. does not give you the right to also be abusive. The dog was bred to have a thick and very warm coat to protect it from snow and cold .. NOT bred for hot climates. Yes, setting the animal on fire is extreme cruelty, but having the dog in Thailand in the first place is not exactly kind.
  2. We have a saying in America .. "Eff around and find out." Sorry he died, but .. how stupid can you be? The girl clearly does not want you .. and you threaten her with a knife .. in front of her brother? Neighbors heard his threats for "months". So instead of moving on, he chose to stay and be abusive. He is lucky the Myanmar guys and brother did not beat his azz weeks before.
  3. Goofy. I am an American. The Spanish language is not the topic at hand here .. you dolt. Love it when idiots call other's intelligence into question. 555
  4. Wrong. Are you reading my words? I only stay in hotels. I am aware of the Englsh spoken in the hospitality industry. Again, you are ignoring the article. A Grab driver. You are trying to change the narrative to only the hospitality industry. Talk about being limited. I spent 3 months in Vietnam .. with the purpose of trying to learn as much as I could about the culture and life there .. so I could make a decision about if I wanted to retire there in the future. I was not there just to take pictures of pretty things, which seems to be more your focus. Again, zero question, when dealing with everyday life or .. getting coffee (from say, at a market .. and not from the catered to hotel), or renting a motorbike, or talking to fisherman on the beach or vendors in the many markets .. no question, Thai people speak more and better English than Vietnamese. Everyone .. no matter what country .. speaks English well when welcoming you to their hotel. That is not what we're talking about.
  5. Agreed. But the article is about what and who? A spoiled brat who was lucky to be educated in an English system .. complaining about Grab driver delivering her food. No one was talking specifically about the hotel industry or those needing to cater to tourists. When I travel, I travel to see and experience the actual people and culture .. not for someone to cater to me.
  6. I traveled through Vietnam for 3 months. No question "run-of-the-mill" Thai people speak more English than Vietnamese. And you talk about two different classes. "Highly educated" ( I never said the Vietnamese were not intelligent) .. and "run-of-the-mill Thais". Unfair. Yes, most educated people around the world speak English. But not all "run-of-the-mill" people do.
  7. Your wife agrees with you? And why wouldn't she? 55 She wants to go through the day with you in disagreement? I spent 3 months in Vietnam two years ago. North in Hanoi, to Da Nang to HCMC. I knew very little about Vietnam before traveling, but the lack of English with street vendors, etc, was very evident. Hotel reception? Good. But trying to get a cup of coffee or rent a motorbike, etc, in Vietnam .. no question, much more difficult in Vietnam than in Thailand.
  8. What a spoiled brat. How ignorant of her. The only reason Filipinos speak so much English is because of the American imperialism they have been forced to adapt to. Also, Thai people speak much more English than Vietnamese, Lao, Cambodians, or even Koreans or Chinese. Does this “master of English” also travel to other countries to complain about the inconveniences to her delicate nature? What a spoiled brat.
