agree ....  i don't buy this ' loss of face ' BS.

it's lose of money ....  thats all.

Maybe someone hiding Salami where should not be hiding?

I wonder how many other soldiers are serving in the Thai army who have the same disillusioned state of mind as the perpetrator and who might act it out in the same way if and when triggered.

 

The stark contrast between the official image of the army (reinforced by brainwashing starting in school) and the less than honorable reality sure doesn't help.

Sadly life is cheap in Thailand all this over 50,000 baht , prayers to all those who perished   ????????????????????

It doesn't take an indepth study of farang history over the past hundred years to see how cheaply life is regarded in Farangland, especially the lives of people of color or the "wrong" religion or living in sh=T hole countries.

Loss of baht more important.

There is more to it than just 50,000baht.

Sorry about you loss i have heard many simular stories off other farang while living up in issan for the past 8 years.

None of those went out shooting and killing innocent people.

Losing face means losing credibility or respect. If someone stiffs him for 50k its a loss of face, in his mind anyway. "Losing face" is a very big deal in Thai culture.

Thai culture! Whatever happened to jai yen?
