Empathy for what? Two fit and healthy young men who would rather take money from a struggling local than pay their own way for travel that the average Thai can only dream about.

tingtongtourist Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 They are Russian young guys. Nearly ALL are very big drinkers! To believe they just innocently fell on tough times or had some trouble not their own doing? lol Normal people check the budget first, to see if have funds to for WHOLE return trip + money for some possible disaster in English it might be said "life planning"? These guys certainly have a plan.. - Get money from gullible farang and good natured Thais (who cant afford to give but still do). - Full moon party, drugs, piรร. - Lie to and shag as many Thai lady as possible for free. - Beg for money to move to the next country. - Rinse and repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zikomat Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Thais consider it deeply wrong when farangs try to make any money of them. Opposite seems to be an absolute norm and even a must. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the typical white man rich brown man poor trope, all too common here and as we see, not in anyway exvlusive to the Thai's. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all to so with percieved similarity, when they view these two youngsters they only feel jealous as that was not what they were doing at their age, they were working. While when they see the destitude sexpat, they see themselves in the near future, its really very basic psychology. Gobbledegook. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So she is doing 48 hours overtime per month. Minimum wage is 325 per 8 hour day so 7800 per month if she works 6 days. The 48 hours are worth another 1950, total should be 9750.

vahe345 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Send them to a Thai gulag for a month to earn their ticket back home. If they disagree they should be thrown in jail so people don't give them any money that would be better off given to people really in need.

I don't know the circumstances of these two, though I am sure they have other options to get home without having to do this. Totally agree. Let their relatives in Russia help them out first, followed by Russian friends, followed by Russian acquaintances, then the Russian embassy. Total strangers are not even on the official list of people to ask for help when you're young and don't appear to be in any distress. I assume their non immigrant visas and beggars' work permits are in good order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
