Loss of face - in the west is Postal worker syndrome...same same...

 

In this case the story line could be used for a good Thai soap / Lakon drama.

This is a problem all over the world. Males in Thailand are extremely susceptible to “loss of face” because here it is equivalent to castration. Thailand is still a very male dominated society.  “Loss of face” to a lot of Thai males is just unacceptable to them, hence story after story....   the only way to fix this is through proper punishment. When this a-hole is finally caught he needs to be publicly executed on tv in the middle of the most popular Lakorn.  He murdered someone with ay least two witnesses. His right to live is now forfeit. This will not only rid society of individuals who feel they are above the law but will also serve as a deterrent. No wai’s or my father has millions of baht in the bank none of that.  Execute them and do it quickly. 

But in the eyes of Thai people the father deserves a gold medal and no jail time. The husband died like a loser in the face culture of Thailand. What the neo colonialists don't understand, is that cases like this represent how perfectly Thainess is working. No need for foreign ideas. A Thai will tell you, as for the husband Sonoma na. The father got the last laugh 555. That's all that matters. He'll get a discount on his sentence .....

We shake our western heads, but the Thai pa has dealt with it.
