  1. Yea it is one of those funny things about Thai to English. Sak Yant is how Thais and westerners tend to spell it so I stuck with that.
  2. Do you have a sak yant or have you ever been tempted to get one?
  3. In my home country it's considered gay. Later I learned about the increased risk of cancer. Pass
  4. Yes the salary is low but teachers, like cops, take bribes to pass students from families who can afford to pay up. They also make decent money from additional services like teaching after school hours.
  5. Learn to read Thai well enough to sing at a rural karaoke bar
  6. If you like throwing money out the window go for it just get a thinkpad bro
  7. Imagine what a prisoner could put in the pad kra pao you just ordered
  8. Very lame, this was my main trail for months. I would walk it almost every day for my morning cardio then go get a smoothie as a reward it was so chill. Surely there's other good trails nearby right?
  9. This is true but I also think it also comes down to most Thai people not wanting to learn these skills either. Kids don't care, parents don't care, teachers don't care, administration doesn't care, government doesn't care. No one gives a damn, they just want be rich. The only people who care about this topic are foreigners or foreigner obsessed Thais. In a way the honesty is admirable, because why should they care? Life is very okay for most people in Thailand. Anyone claiming you need to be super "educated" to climb the ranks of Thai society is delusional, all you need is connections. The most competent person doesn't get hired, the most well connected person (or highest status) gets hired, and this is also true in the West. Thais knows this so what's the point? Moreover, are the citizens of countries like the US or Bongland any better because their "critical thinking skills" and literacy are superior? Europe in general is a poor dumpster fire of a landmass where women can't even walk around at night without fearing assault or even rape. This is because of policies brought on by so called "critical thinking skills". Is it even worth commenting on the average Americans ability to reason? There is another silver lining. If you educate your kids yourselves they will easily outshine their peers. Even just tutoring them on the weekends will make a huge difference. It's so easy to be a big fish in a small pond in this country. If you don't yet have the skills to teach your kid highschool level math and science hit the books old man.
  10. What will it take for Britbongs to realize their slavery?
  11. Well Gamma you Crazy old geezer you convinced me. There's a region of a southern China where they speak Tai languages, called Zhuang. I'll start there. Also I found the full movie on youtube if anyone else is interested
  12. Never been to a China but I'd love to go. Is it still a cool place to explore?
  13. Is this the schizophrenia containment thread
  14. Add an extra 50% to these stats and it'll be more believable
  15. What do you think is the future of Yaba in Thailand? Old timers, what's your projection? It's not just popular with Burmese farm hands, speaking with college kids I recently learned it's also often used as a study aid like adderall. Wtf... Why not just get an adderall script?
  16. So what does this mean for the average traveler?
  17. Imagine the nuts on a lad who steals from the Thai military. Maybe it was a higher up who has a fall guy ready to go.
