6. Respect what locals traditionally value(their religions etc).

 

 

Are we supposed to respect those corrupt playboy-monks too?

The chapter I liked most was about him bar-fining a girl at some seedy Bangkok bar, only to wake up the next morning with an unbearable pain in his ass. That’s when it hit him — he’d come here completely unprepared. So, he decided to write a book (as a warning to others).

The OP forgot to mention that both Bubble Tee girls are anatomically male.

I'm quite sure that most of the money was donated by the poorer segment of Thai society. I also suspect that the upper echelons of Thai society have put considerable effort into keeping the lower classes uneducated. I mean, they seriously discuss ghosts on Thai TV.

You're not allowed to be that poor in Thailand—unless you're a Thai national.

When are Thai people going to realise that during rainy conditions you need to drive slower than in dry conditions - Not rocket science 

Another important issue here in Isaan is that many drivers are unable to distinguish between main and secondary roads. A road they are driving on seems to be always main from their point of view.

The majority of accidents, including fatal ones, happen within 20 miles of homes. People do most of their driving close to home, and are more likely to let down their guard on familiar roads, no matter the conditions. This is a point I tried to make to my girlfriend here, to make sure she wears her helmet at all times.

You better buy a car for her.

Looks like yet another trolling anti-white westerner thread zeroing in on the US and Europe. No mention of scamming Chinese hoards or penniless Indians that camp on the beach at night instead of having a hotel room and bring electric rice cookers with batteries so the can cook outside... not even a mention of dodgy Russians evading the draft and trying anything and everything to stay, legally or not. 

 

Nice try at trolling though, give you that... but ultimately a fail.

Are Russians considered dodgy just because they evade the draft? It’s not the first time I’ve seen Westerners accuse them of this. Do you really think that makes them morally inferior to you? Would you respect them more if they went off to kill Ukrainians instead? Or you just don’t care and use this accusation without giving it any thought?

I’d hang that Kennedy guy by his balls.

More like the police are waiting for the foreigner to leave so they do not have to deal with it.. The man showed them evidence. The police should have gone directly to make an arrest warrant and to arest the bar owner. What is there to investigate if the man has a vdo recording and ready to press charges?

Is that you, Mr. Raf?

The typical behavior of sex workers in Pattaya. Elsewhere in Thailand, a random Thai man would quickly put them in their place with a slap or two. Spoiled by easy money and foreigners who grovel before them plus being almost permanently intoxicated with alcohol, these women turn into real monsters.

No, I provide for the women I'm with, and I'm given all a woman can give without paying for it in cash. Maybe someday you'll learn the difference.

Don’t fool yourself. You are paying for it anyway. The method of payment is irrelevant.

Without American military support, the faith of the Ukraine is sealed. The only support from Europe are "warm handshakes". Military equippement can not be spared, as Europe itself is undersupplied with military hardware as it is. AND: The Ukraine is running out of able bodied soldiers.

 

It shows that Trump has clear priorities:

- China
- Israel

 

Europe generally is of no interest to him, unless somebody comes along and tells him that a continent of 500 million inhabitants are also 500 million consumers. That will awaken his "deal making instinct".

 

The only way to enter Donald Trumps mental universe.

 

The Ukrainians will fight on, does not matter what this village idiot Trump think.

I had a dream where I saw the winning lottery numbers. I rushed out, bought a ticket, and used them — and guess what? I hit the jackpot! But just as I was celebrating, I finally woke up.

My neighbor won an 80 000 baht price a few years ago.

He was soo happy!

Threw a big party,dancing girls, concert style music and loads of food and drink.

He had to borrow extra money to pay for it all!

 

That is a typical gambler's behaviour. They lose millions, then have a little bit of luck, win 100k and feel like the happiest people on Earth. It is hard to understand idiots.

Nobody really cares or tries. Do you want male friends?

Friendship is something that’s supposed to happen naturally. Yet, with these “very friendly” Thais, it is almost never the case. Isn’t that strange? What’s the point of friendliness if it does not lead to actual friendship between people?

In my experience, people in Thailand are not genuinely friendly. It’s mostly a mask of friendliness that most of them wear with impressive skill. Anyone who stays here for more than a couple of weeks per year and has an IQ over 100 can see the deeply hypocritical nature beneath the surface.

For example, how many AseanNow users have actually managed to form a true male friendship while living here? If we exclude the idiots who can build a “friendship” even with the cockroaches in their Pattaya condos, the real numbers are laughably low. Isn’t that a real reflection of their (the Thais’) “friendly” nature?

They were already taking photos of him checking in, and about to go through baggage check. A tip off, perhaps. 

Most likely. It’s definitely not due to the size of his baggage, as mentioned above. A difference of 3 kg doesn’t significantly affect the size of any luggage.
