Ever thought of that, authorities? Respectfully, do you need to be told not to climb on the statues? Isn't NOT climbing merely common sense? Yes, the Thai reaction is a bit overblown, but... do you really need to be told NOT to climb on it? It is not a playground nor a Jungle Gym.

Easy to understand that when you see their reaction to the many Indians in Thailand. Thre are many, many facts that insult Thais. I thoroughly enjoy going through as many as I can muster with them. Like, say, worshipping a concrete block isn't what Buddha meant. Nor is paying the monks for good luck, etc. Edited March 9, 2018 by DrTuner 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Thai reaction is a bit overblown, but... do you really need to be told NOT to climb on it? true, but. i think there has to be some allowance for cultural ignorance. i'm talking photos on statues etc not feet on coach next to someone head which is wrong everywhere. some chinese tour groups aren't the well to do chinese that would know better. some are from small shitty places and wouldn't have a clue what is ok or not ok outside where they live. for some it might be the 1st time they ever travelled. i think a little leeway and less attack, more a quiet word would help. the buddhist way some might say. not saying they were chinese. could be thai. they were last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it is not the Statue of Liberty, is it? Besides, some (maybe dumb) tourists might see stairs at the bottom of it. It's not that I think they didn't do anything wrong, but surely they think that, don't they? How would they know it's wrong if nobody tells them, not even a simple sign on a wall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all and everything can be seen on Facebook. A drug smoking rockstar, ( what an idiot), countless accidents where many people must have died on motorbikes and in cars, people get killed when they see that their Tirac's chatting with other men, (happened in Khon Kaen), people show when a foreigner get's beaten up, because that's fun for Thais, Foreigners with golden hearts and too many Tattoos who show others how to pray, are shown nationwide and make others feel useless, two gay men who show their asses at a temple, ( who wants to see that?), a lot of people who pull guns when the traffic gets too weird, countless arrests of foreigners on private Facebook pages, foreigners who fell off their condors, all on someone's Facebook page, and many other stuff that shouldn't be available for all. I'm happy that I grew up at a time where Mark Zuckerberg wasn't born, or a child. Live without fb like I do. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much, I'm really so close to a shutdown of my FB, only informing some friends and the page is past. It's really getting too much of so many different annoying things It was nice to find old friends after not seeing each other for 20, or 30 years. Facebook helped me to find some old friends who were GI's in Germany in 1976, but any other than finding friends is a joke. These days they create videos with friends I've made a year ago, even when it's about my own sister. And not thinking that our data is being used by FBI, CIA, BKA, LKA, Disneyland, and others would be very naive. After some years, many people have got a few thousand friends?? and even when I kept mine under 100, it's still a pain in the ass. I don't want a reminder to set up my mood, the food I've just eaten, post my hobbies, where I went to school, well all the usual and normal things, Facebook people do. Trying to tell students that Facebook is a waste of time doesn't work, because their Thai teachers are as addicted to it as they are. What a freaking joke it became, from an information website for students to a website where pedophiles, drug dealers, idiots, citizens of LOS, perverts, coksuckers , and other individuals can easily find what they are looking for. Some ( many) pedophiles are lurking on their prey, download photos of teenagers and use them for all sorts of things, and in my opinion Facebook should come with a warning that it's dangerous ( or can be) to your health. I don't have a problem that the Thai Immigration might have more information about me than I've got about myself, but it's really time to end it. Nope, there must be something else in life than Facebook. The time I'll win could be used to play some sports, do some trekking, study for a Master's, play chess, or just post on TV.

I understand that's where the Thai place name Lumphini comes from, not that many Thais realise that. Thanks, didn't know the details.

Prison for this person until she learns to respect others’ cultures! Oh wait, she’s Asian. Meh, who cares. A bit confused about this myself. As a Christian, I might consider it comforting to be in/on the lap of my creator...my God. I certainly would not see it as being disrespectful, on the contrary, it would be an expression of my love for my "Father". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupatria Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 17 hours ago, Just1Voice said: Sheesh! Stop being so damn sensitive, Thai people. And while you're at it, try actually learning what Buddha taught, instead of this Thai crap you call "Buddhism". For starters, Buddha SPECIFICALLY told his followers NOT to pray to him when he died, as he was NOT a god, but ONLY A MAN, and prayers to him would be wasted. There is no such thing as true Buddhism in Thailand, only a lot of mumbo, jumbo superstition dressed in orange robes that's a fake as a $3 bill. The original teachings of Buddha are not allowed to be taught in Thailand and if you read them, very soon you will get to know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mattd Posted March 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2018 The whole attitude to Buddhism here is strange and two faced, every time I drive to and from Bangkok I smile, there are two great big billboard adverts reminding us Farangs that "Buddha is not for Decoration" and that we should respect, blah blah. Perhaps they should remind themselves of this fact and stop wearing the Buddha chains around their necks, attached to dashboards, tattooed on their backs, statues all around their houses and gardens and so on, there is a postman that I regularly see at the office block where I work, I have absolutely no idea how he manages to walk with the number of Buddha's hanging off his gold chain in full view. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
