I really hope they can start to regulate the road transit industry, and road regulations more tightly in general. The fuel on buses/coaches needs to be regulated more tightly, those colourful double deckers, as grand as they look, they are often budget cut and shut jobs done in Thailand, many of the minibuses are deathtraps: just pray you are not in a collision, people being transported on the back on pick up trucks on motorways, kids being moved around around on motorbikes with no crash helmets. When I was younger I liked at most of the stuff I mentioned as part of Thailand, freedom, sanuk, but I guess I grew up and I don't see it as a positive anymore. Hopefully for Thai people the road carnage gets sorted out this decade. They deserve it.

I don't think most people in the rest of the world think like that. Most of the noise comes from Non-Whites in Western countries who due to Liberalism are given more of a voice. Modern Western Liberalism being the ideology that the West has been under for decades which in reality is just promotion of the weak, and why (by design) the West is in decline. Afro Saxons make the most noise in this regard, and true to Liberalism, they are the ones who should make the least noise. It is what it is. Try to use them as comic relief, or just ignore them.

It's the same in the Western world in general. These brown migrants are being invited, and the establishment values them ahead of 95% of the existing population as they are brought into to a job - and that job is destabilizing people for the next phase societies are going to be pushed in, without making it seem to the normies that the state is directly doing it. As for all of that Trump/Harris stuff, waste your time with the charade if you want. Politics is probably the biggest distraction ever created,

Horrific. The buses are indeed a problem from the fuel they often use to the Thai made cut and shut double decker buses that are always extremely colourful, but also extremely dangerous in an accident. I know diesel is nasty polluting stuff, but it isn't anywhere near as dangerous as what this scene is showing.

This is something I am getting more worried about. Not the stray dogs, there are less of them thesedays in most regions, but the increasing amount of powerful dogs I am noticing Thais buy. I love Pitbulls and Rottweilers and big shepard dogs, all kinds of dogs really, but I don't like the way many Thais handle their dogs. I can probably deal with 2-3 Thai type dogs if it comes to it. 2-3 Pitbulls or Rottweilers? Highly unlikely. And the problem is I can see it not being handled and getting out of hand like the road fatalities issue.

It's ok these non-White Westerners last about as long as Western women in SEA. When they get the sand out their vaginas about Mr WhiteMan, and finally come to the realization that the Thai locals will never pander to their nonsense as much as Whitey has been fooled into, and most of the existing Westerners are not the soylent slop/starbucks brigade then they usually move on. The ones who stay generally have good energy and don't have a chip in their shoulder.

You do understand the US is based off Western Europe and pretty much an extension/rip off? I know you guys over there, especially the Non-Whites are mostly hilariously lost, but nearly everything from your language, the way your cities were structured, the names of your damn cities, your fashion, most of the tech, the industrial revolution (which kicked off the US).. I could go on.. all came from Western Europe. It's all online though. I never hear an American say any this nonsense in the reality of daylight and fresh air. I do often detect an underlying seething disposition but oh well, that's too bad.

I'm sure you was around at that time to.confirm all of that. Sadly at best history is laced with a lot of fabrications, and at worst mostly a work of fiction.

Not a fan of the Americas as I see it as a crappy copy cat version of Europe, but I can't deny how impressive the US was in the 20th century. Just by making this comment it is a product of mostly US innovation (but not entirely due to telecommunications and electric grid coming from Europe. What is White culture? I guess it's mostly a product of what the European migrants who built the US and set up the system took with them to the US. It's the other races in the US that must be more confused. Which is probably why non-White Americans and me never see eye to eye as I will never pander to the Liberalism ideology that the cope with. I am just honest. They are heavily deracinated and lost.

There are some Western liberals who moved to places such as Thailand from the West due to the decline in those societies mostly created by liberal policies in recent decades (that they supported but didn't enjoy the reality of what it creates). Even if they speak Thai, most Thai people are right wing, and generally so are the expats, so online is the last vestige to find a group of like minded people who pretend that not even being able to identify your gender correctly is a route to creating a healthy society.

It's just cheap. 160 baby for a box full of food and refills, where as the other typical western fast joints in Thailand that will only get you a basic crapburger meal

Just a reminder that holding a modern western liberal ideology is incompatible with Thailand and SEA in general. Hopefully you and your ilk will relocate back to metropolitan Western areas that not only are more compatible with, but also areas that you wanted to help form and create in their current form.

Even though politics is a charade and showbusiness for ugly people, there are hints for people who don't have their heads up their ass. A brown woman being showcased as a 'leader' of not just any Western country, but the most powerful one currently, signals the real beginning of the end of Western civilization. There maybe a renaissance in the future, but I feel more happy by the year that I took an interest in Asia years ago. If that lady is given the nod, it's goodnight Irene. And once again liberals you need to stay in the West and enjoy the system and lifestyle you wanted to usher in.

I'm actually still a little confused why people think going from the West to places like Thailand is a loser move. Make the best of it because this current currency exchange disparity will not last much longer and at that point for many men the economic leverage will be gone. Much of SEA will not be cheap in a couple of decades. The men who need that leverage will probably have to resign themselves to Sub Saharan Africa which will be the last place to industrialize, if it ever will given the capabilities of the populations there.

SEA is geared up for men. The attractive ones will have no problem getting a local broad who is still happy to be a woman. The men who are passed their prime or not exactly an oil painting can get a broad to stay with them for not that much. The men are not the ones who need to go home. She needs to go home as she should be in a relationship with children already, and by the looks of her age she doesn't have much time left to stop being a loser and drop the porn career and find a sucker to raise a family with her. Although personally I will be quite happy if she doesn't breed.

They like to report on anyone from outside the orient for farting in an elevator. As for people reporting on people from the orient? Not much consistency, rhyme or reason. Just seems to be the occasional serious incident or silly sort like this one, but much is ignored in favour of petty incidents involving other groups.

They were closing at midnight in Hua Hin recently because of violence involving locals. The last straw was a local police officer/soldier who shot and killed another police officer/soldier after a night drinking. This is what I mean by a lot of people being very unaware of the kind of things that happen, and Hua Hin is a town that is somewhat well regulated and docile compared to others. Of course though, two Australians having a handbag affair is unacceptable and the worst that happens in Thailand. In Pattaya of all places!

As someone who knows Thailand I can confidently say a minor brawl is not 'shocking' any locals. Entertaining people, possibly, disappointing people, maybe, but a small 1v1 fight where no one is killed is not shocking anyone, apart from from some sheltered Westerners and sheltered East Asians perhaps. The indignant charade needs to stop people. You're not in Singapore or Switzerland.

Yes that is a problem in a lot of villages. You will see lots of old people, children, and often a few bums who sit around drinking lao kaow all day. Some places the manners leave a lot to be desired (lip smacking while eating, shouting from a distance rather than approaching someone to have a conversation). If you get into a productive village where there is a lot of activity and the people have good manners and are friendly, then it could be good.

Thais are often not responsible dog owners. On the soi I live on there is a chunky Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and it's semi-wild, they allow it to be aggressive to those off their territory. I can see a problem in the future with the dog, Someone will probably end up having to hurt it. Last year I lived in a moo-baan where one guy would tie his dog up overnight while he went to work and by the morning the dog would be barking like crazy. Other instances over the years... They don't seem to have a rapport with dogs the same way Europeans do which makes sense as they don't have the same history of using them for farming and security. Even early this century dogs were rarely pets and just part of the wildlife.

They were not 'Farangs' (probably one of only 50 words you know in Thai, and i'm being generous). You can tell by the way the didn't fold immediately. Most of the Farangs who come to Thailand are quite honestly soft. It's why they bully around most Europeans so easily because they are very good at reading body language. They can sense a threat or someone who will lay down. As much as I like Thailand there are problems here, and I have been patient to see if they would be removed, but it's not happening. Oh and the tourist areas are but a minor issue. I have experience in travelling to and living in Thailand for two decades and let me tell you, it's not what you think. Rage is never far from most Thai people. As I am middle aged now I am looking at Malaysia or Indonesia. I want to really chill. Have a peaceful life. Keep thinking the boogey man tourist is your biggest threat. I will be looking on and seeing the predicable results.

You are a tourist here also my guy. The only difference between you and the people in this video is there wouldn't be a fight. You would just be jumped by a few Thais and we would be seeing an article of 'Ryland' getting a beating 🙂

Is this a crime? He was shirtless and rubbing against some railings? Slightly odd behaviour yes, put it doesn't seem worthy of being reported on. Fairly sure yesterday there was much more serious incidents involving Thai nationals, and those from neighbouring countries which somehow are ignored in favour of talking about a Russian farting loudly on a train. The excuse some posters made was the news was focused on mostly Westerners as it's a site used by mostly Westerners, but however places such as Russia and Kuwait are not Western countries.

I have noticed most Thai people have become even less disciplined regarding their diets and food is just everywhere. Many people eating 4-5 small meals a day which is a recipe for disaster whilst burning around on their bikes and barely doing much activity. You will need to be disciplined. Keep to your activities and what you want to do in this s country. Preferably be around more focused expats or Thais. The average eating every 2 hours, drinking booze and mooching around lifestyle will make you unhealthy or into a complete slob. My prediction of the average Thai BMI in 20 years is not too rosey. Don't be scared to be an individual.

Yeah it will probably not be a foreigner that will call a hitman on you, stick a screwdriver in your neck over a petty road disagreement or throw you from the 15th floor of a condo. Ask for a 'loan' etc etc.. Also to the OP the murder rate is creeping back up in Thailand. It's not as high as when I first started coming here but apart from the US every Western country has a lower murder rate and unlike Western countries there isn't many genuine 'safe zones'. Living in an area of Western Europe, amongst actual Europeans, is about as safe as it gets apart from maybe a few places such as Singapore or Japan.
