Pai's Deportation of International Musician Sparks Outcry

I didn’t say she was entitled. But now you mention it, they break the law for nearly three months and continue to do so despite a very public warning. Sounds entitled to me. -

Pai's Deportation of International Musician Sparks Outcry

This current escalation was set off by the Israelis rampaging and vandalizing the Pai hospital. Thai businesses have put up signs banning Israelis from entering. The police announced they were going to round up foreigners breaking the laws but this band stupidly thought they would continue despite the warnings. The police showed more tolerance to the Irishman than they did to the Israelis and to Matheus who has an Israeli partner. Local social media and mainstream media is quite opening is discussing how the locals are annoyed by the behavior of the Israelis, so no surprise they were targeted. I am pleased that the Thais are not painting all foreigners with the same brush for the behavior of a certain group and are focusing on the trouble makers and not dragging us all down with them. -
Rising Anti-Israel Sentiments in Pai Following Tourists Misconduct

I didn’t realize the Italians were a big thing in Ireland. Some countries people travel well and don’t have much trouble, like the Japanese, Thais have had issue with Israelis going back decades. -
Thailand Ranked 106th in English Proficiency Out of 116 Countries
MalcolmB replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
If you live in Thailand so you actually communicate with the people in the country you live in what be one good reason. Thais have enough English speakers to do very well. I think you can not grasp the reality that it is completely unnecessary for 95% of Thais to speak English. They have no use for it. -

Where did you meet this partner? There is a saying Farang ru mak Mai dee ฝรั่งรู้มากไม่ดี Farang who knows to much is not good. Very common amongst bar girls etc but not amongst normal society. What are they saying about you? -
A Desert Dream Fades: The Rise and Fall of the Ivanpah Solar Plant
MalcolmB replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Indeed it has. The same type of people that will be rubbish in this project would have been rubbish in solar and batteries ten years ago. But rather than being pleased in this significant advancement they will double down and still be negative. Mostly people that identify as “right wing”. Strange people. -

Paranoia is common in non thai speakers who imagine everyone is gossiping about them when they are really only discussing the price of potatoes, chewing gum and guava in France. -

Don't Drink and Drive: Police Crack Down on DUI Near Bars

Strange how some people can not understand that it has been translated into English and feel they are being victimized as a result of not understanding that. -
Is It Just Me, Or Are Thai Staff Getting Ruder By The Day?
MalcolmB replied to SoCal1990's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Personally I find service in Thailand much better than in the UK. If I gave the barmaids back home a little touch up I would be arrested. Here they encourage it. Buy them one drink you can go the full grope and they will give you and nice little fondle on the tackle. Sexually charged jokes and banter is a lot of fun. And in Thai pubs the “pretties” constantly keeping my beer full. In restaurants they give the menu and patiently stand by the table waiting for you to read the menu and decide what to eat instead of giving you the menu and telling you to call them over when you have decided. I have never had some scantily dressed young hottie ever give me a wipe down with icy cold perfumed cloth on a hot day in a pub in the UK either. Very nice people the Thais. If you don’t like it here you should leave and go and complain in another country. It is pretty disgusting the way some foreigners are always bitchin. -

Most Thais won’t go all over the world. They have no use for English. Surprises me the amount of foreigners who live here for years or decades and are illiterate and effectively deaf mutes. And then berate Thais for not speaking English. -

MalcolmB replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Very common for lazy uneducated single mothers in Thailand to work as prostitutes in tourist towns. Then Freddy Farang gallantly rides in on his white horse and rescues her. Then she will quickly want to breed again with Freddy to lock in a solid financial future. It often works, older Freddy’s are preferred, they usually die quicker. -
Beach Birthday Brawl: Stabbing Shock Scandalizes Pattaya

Sounds like you are being wound up by the writing style, which wasnt done by a Thai. Don’t let it upset you. Watch the morning crime news on thai television. Foreigners hardly get a mention. That should cheer you up a bit.
