    The rape of minors is incredible, while villagers seem to be afraid to treat HIV/AIDS victims. I've seen uncles and grandfathers I wouldn't trust one minute. 

     

    I know a woman who never washed her HIV/Aids infected daughter because she thought that she'd get infected. The poor girl died in circumstances I don't want to talk about.

     

      Another woman, who's married to a Japanese guy was brought back to the village to die. I always visited her and tried to give her the feeling that she's not alone, but Thais don't seem to understand that. 

     

       But all villages have the same rules, not talking about something where anybody could lose face. A girl losing her virginity through her uncle, dad, granddad, etc.. is mostly unreported and they give birth to a child that shouldn't be there first place. 

     

    I'm not kidding now. 

    Not disputing your post(every village is different Im sure, just like people) but we have two women with AIDS in our village and they are both treated normally.  In fact one was a neighbour of ours who has an unaffected husband and not long had a baby.  She has even quite openly and in company on the street mentioned how she was on her way to pick up her AIDS drugs.  I feel sometimes they are a bit too relaxed about it...especially when this ladies mother tries to encourage the youngest sister to go work bar for more money!

     

    No ours is a reasonably quiet village but we do have a resident thief/burglar who the police catch periodically.   Everyone knows who it is and they just keep an eye on his movements and each others properties.  No-one dares to call the police because there is no money in it (the thief and his family are broke).  So if the police are involved they need money to pay for their time, so they turn on you and next thing they are wanting tea money because your number plate is obscured, tail light blown, or you are painting your own house without a work permit etc (hasnt happened here yet but I have read about it before).

     

    Only violence I have seen here has been from the jealous lashing tongue of some other farangs Thai wife lol!

    I Googled "In my experience and you can GOOGLE this, most people who are serious about killing themselves don't announce it, they do it." and found this:

     

    "Myth: People who talk about suicide aren’t serious and won’t go through with it.

    Fact: People who kill themselves have often told someone that they do not feel life is worth living or that they have no future. Some may have actually said they want to die. While it’s possible that someone might talk about suicide as a way of getting the attention they need, it’s vitally important to take anybody who talks about feeling suicidal seriously."

    Highly unlikely it was accidental. You are either willfully ignoring the sordid history of Thai fishing fleets or are genuinely ignorant.  Thai fishing fleets have had a lengthy history of violating  international rules and  of  engaging in environmentally irresponsible acts. It goes beyond the dumping of raw waste and bilge water.

    Not to mention their sordid history as part time pirates responsible for countless murders, kidnappings, rapes, tortures, and human trafficking particularly against Vietnamese refugees.  I remember being here in the late 80's and the news was full of the discovery of a group of dead Vietnamese women and girls found drowned and naked washed up on the beach here.  They had been kidnapped by Thai fisherman, taken on to the Thai trawlers while the refugee men and boys were murdered and their boats sunk.  The older refugee women had their vaginas slit open because there was a rumour that they carried a lot of gold and thats where it was kept.  The women and girls were used as sex toys and raped for days until the Thai fisherman had had their fill.  Then for a bit of fun the women were tied together in a long string and the first one pushed over board while they motored along watching each girl struggled to not get dragged overboard.  Just do a google, its full of it.

     

    Yes I am sure these Thai fisherman have a lot of respect for the sea and its poor defensive sea creatures!!

  4. I worked with a Brit/Thai couple who would leave a rental like that.  Admittedly I doubt they lived like that but thats how they would leave it and with months of rent owing as well.....every time!  He was a lazy layabout cockney and she was Thai but spent her early years in England.  She was a chronic liar and scammer, so much so that she was considered a great asset by the hierarchy of our school.  She actually ended up as head coordinator for a while until her incompetence became greater than her ability to lie and scam for the school (and herself of course).  But the cornerstone of this corrupt couple and their success at scams were there kids...they started off with 5 living with them.  They seemed to be able to hide behind them and use them as an excuse.

     

    In the over 10 years I worked with them they had done approx 12 to 14 midnight runners, maybe more??  They would move into a place, often with money borrowed from anybody around the school and would pay their rent promptly for quite a few months until they seemed to find some kind of comfort zone.  They, mainly her, seemed to spend a lot of money on clothes and toys (latest phones, flick knives, knuckle dusters, electronic gadgets etc) and she having a shoe collection that would put Imelda Marcos to shame.  So they always looked quite respectable so long as she didnt open her mouth...a veritable fish wife!  Then end of each month there there would be this flurry to borrow money using all sorts of excuses but mainly sob stories regarding the kids..school fees, braces, medications etc etc.  This woman could turn on the waterworks at the drop of the hat.  Most people would run if approached near the end of the month.  Unfortunately some of the newer teachers were still green and fell for it.  Next thing you know they have moved again and the cycle would start again.  We would drive past the previous residence same day on our way home and you could tell it was a quick retreat....there was <deleted> everywhere....packing boxes and old clothes strewn out the door and in the driveway, windows and doors open...just a mess. 

     

    Funny thing was that virtually no-one ever came looking for them.  Only one time an irate Thai came to the front reception screaming for her and his money.  Security merely led him to the gate to wait till after school.  One time they tried to borrow money saying someone broke in to their house and stole all their passports (only) even those for the kids.  Obviously they must have been given as collateral for some back rent and they decided cheaper to replace than pay back rent.  One time they rented a huge mansion in a compound right next to the school, not 200 mts away, saying they were going to buy it and were waiting on their bank...and they did the same thing.  But funny, once again no-one came looking for them.  No-one could understand how they got away with it every time.  Only conclusion anybody could come up with was that they got away with it because of so many kids...no landlord wanted to inherit the bad karma from evicting the kids or reporting the parents thus creating suffering for the kids.
