Two old men are sitting in a bar. One of them looks at the other & says “You look familiar… where you from?” The second old man replies “Ireland” The first old man looks astonished & says ” No way I’m from Ireland myself, what a small world!” The second old man then looks at the first “What city?” The first old man says “Dublin?” The second old man looks astonished “No way I’m from Dublin meself! What a small world.” The first man looks at the second old man “What school you go to?” The second old man replies “Saint Mary’s class of 89” The first old man is absolutely baffled ” NO WAY Saint Mary’s class of 89 myself! What a small world!” At this point, another man comes into the bar & says to the bartender “Hey, Joe! Anything interesting going on?” The bartender says “Not really… but the Murphy twins are drunk again.”

It is unbelievable how you generalise ALL Thai people. Are you judging them by your own standards, or are you living amongst such a crowd. Majority of Thai people will not go behind foreigners nor even get into casual conversations with them. It is in the bar atmosphere that most Thais are so ga-ga over drunk, elderly foreigners. In any society there is the good and the bad - it is up to you to choose where you fit in.

Some members on online forums organise get-togethers, so that members could meet personally. This can be nice, sometimes.

Yes! She was a stunner in her country music scenes too. Simple and natural beauty! Like an earlier poster said "raw beauty"!

As an after thought... Why do you and others who justify this language spell the word as f@cking instead of using the correct spelling? Do you address the immigration/police/other officials similarly, in any country? Would you use this word in a court of law, a government office, etc in any country? Can anyone give an answer to the above? Normal should be normal globally, to my understanding e.g. Like saying Good morning. I think, this language is considered normal only by people who live in an environment where it is considered normal - only for a people of a special calibre, that this style of communication is normal. The civilised world, tend to differ.

Not only him, all who support him in here so boldly too will act very humble.

Yep, each to their own real world - enjoy

Losing face issue? OK. You are the undisputed winner!

Do you know her personally? You seems to know many details.
