Orton Rd Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 1 minute ago, Fex Bluse said: As much as many of us Farang enjoy living here, Thailand is seen as a regressive, whoring dump. And, they have mostly earned the reputation. They earn it by routinely over staying visas, working illegally and engaging in all kinds of shady business. And, Thais with money and education are often worse than their less educated countrymen. The problem here is culture. Most everyone aspires to exploit and break laws and rules. This sounds like a lot of falangs living here, whoring, overstaying visas, working illegally and shady business, maybe they are just trying to blend in?

I lived for more than 10 years in Roi Et and Surin and what you claim to know is just not true. Especially your number of school drop outs at the age of 12. I had 2 Thai step children who visited a private and a Government school so I have first hand experience. Compulsory education in Thailand covers the first nine years of “basic education” (six years of elementary school and three years of lower secondary school). Education at public schools is free of charge until grade 9. At present, the government also provides three years of free pre-school and three years of free upper-secondary education, neither of which are mandatory, however.

I agree... hit the ATM & then find a room... But I suspect being a Caucasian Male (if your avatar is accurate) is slightly less of a red flag than an Asian (esp. Thai) female... and age is probably a good sign as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubby johnson Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 1 hour ago, Bill Miller said: Infantile reasoning. She is a Thai, not the product of a western school system. How many Thai people know any of the Roman alphabet at all? 48 minutes ago, BritManToo said: You assume they attended high school, when in reality most Thais 80%+ leave school aged 12, and 95% have left by age 15. Considering the vast amounts of money swallowed up by Thailand's national education budget, you'd expect higher intelligence and literacy among the population. As it is, Thailand ranks at or near the bottom in Asian TOEIC scores. None of its universities are up to scratch. Students should perform a lot better than speaking and writing infantile gibberish.

Yes, I love this arguement that "well, they do it too" or "but, it happens in every country". The issue is about degree, percentage, ratio. Thais, in significant number, goto other countries and break laws. It's what they know as their country encourages law breaking. The other issue is that Thailand is lawless, and that affects Thais and foreigners. The reason so many people here are lawless is because the the country's national character is one of lawlessness.

Orton Rd Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Actually the truth is FAR more Thai women go abroad to work (illegally) in Korea and Australia etc than they do to go abroad to work in the sex industry, but women busted for picking mushrooms does not have the same media appeal as Thai prostitutes.

The overseas earning potential of a Thai girl as a prostitute is significantly higher than when doing menial jobs -agriculture / packing, especially in South Korea and Hong Kong. Furthermore, 10 times out of 10, Thai women who choose to go to work overseas (illegally) will choose the easier way out i.e. spreading their legs, unless they're fat/ugly or both.

Wife got the message yesterday. She's been "working" in a massage shop for over a year (we knew). From what I gather, there was an immigration sting, a mad dash for passports and not all the girls ended up getting one. Apparently she has a Korean "sponsor" to help her get home. I would have offered assistance, but kept my mouth shut (sister robbed the wife of over 300 000b a couple of years ago), and wife didn't ask for a monetary contribution to assist.

BritManToo Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 2 hours ago, Orton Rd said: You need to back up outrageous claims with some real evidence, 85% complete lower secondary, not drop out by 12! According to UNESCO’s 2017/8 Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report, there remain substantial challenges to the quality of education in Thailand: 99% complete primary education, but only 85% complete lower secondary education I think you'll find that 10 years back it was different, and most of the Thai population were educated more than 40 years back. Try looking at the 1997 report (which would cover everyone aged 32 and over today), around 75% of the current Thai population. Prayut is just about to reduce compulsory education back to age 12, it's been at age 15 for only around 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushroomdave Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 The "workers" have spoiled it in Taiwan. The Taiwanese gave Thais unlimited 30 day visa-exempt entries 2 yrs ago but now they are onto them. They are down to maximum 6 entries/year now and the government's new proposed bill is for only 2 entries/year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
