I don't speak Thai but I'm sure she said " Don't you know who I am? "

Morons like these two make me ashamed to be Australian.

My attitude is this: I elected to live here, and view myself as a grateful guest. I know there are dangers, things that run against my "common sense." I hope I never reach the bitter, condescending 'superior attitude" I see on this forum. Many here have overstayed their welcome, and now are prisoners who lack the ways and means to go back to perfect little merry old England...(The part not burning in riots)

Yes, i agree with his point that the way wires are strung is pretty amazing / crazy making...It is the attitude I am addressing.

Thank you Richard you have restored my faith momentarily.

There is at least one farang living in Thailand who doesn't whinge, whine, criticise and complain about everything.

Great news! But they should have done it years ago!

Even though these "students" can take care of them self, it shows clearly that they do not wish to integrate themselves. If you do not have sufficient qualifications to get a job in a foreign country and you are not retired, the least you can do is to learn the language, integrate yourself and then try to positively contribute to the society. Those who just want to be here without doing anything, should not be here!

Well said.

Well its unfortunate for the estonian man, but pretty stupid behaviour on their part. They go back and decided to fight??? Logic says I am a foreigner in another country, perhaps not good idea to do such a thing.

Anyways - stupid behaviour in Thailand can cost you quite dearly - you want trouble you will certainly find it in spades.

I have to agree with britmaveric.

It's sad the guy died but you'd have to be a moron to deliberately get into a fight in another country. I don't live here, just a regular visitor who has never had any trouble but I am constantly amazed at the sheer arrogance and ignorance shown towards Thais and their culture/country by some tourists who seem to think they can do what they like and that Thailand is just a big amusement park and Thais are there to serve them. I wish these types would stay away,and this even applies to a few expats.
