That is what you get when you don't respect your elders. Just by surviving longer then you have older people deserve respect. No matter how they behave. Old means respect and wisdom ????

I would estimate the father to be near 70 going by the sons age, I imagine the son will seek revenge not for the stabbing but for the embarrasment of being done over by a pensioner !

Would you do that with your dad if he were still alive or let him be ? Personally id let him be thinking he is an old fool. No reason the Thai guy wont let it be either.

So are Thai so different? oh i forgot according to some all Thais are aggressive. You know we thought the same about the Brits at one time given their hooligans and so on. Guess what that is not true either, its just a subset of people who are violent, not all. Same goes for Thais.

 

Maybe you enjoy looking down on people, it must be nice to finally be able to look down on people.

Too many Thais believe that respect should be automatic. It is not. It has to be earned.

But this must be fake news, because before I ever came to Thailand I read repeatedly how close Thai families are and how they are always smiling.

Thai families are a lot like Western families some function well others don't. Recently in my country a father terrorized his kids and wife at age of 72.  

 

I agree respect is earned not given and just being old does not give you respect.

Exactly. Which is why the TAT-style claim is nonsense.

Time for the son and his wife to move out of there parents house.

 

Living with a drunk or heavy drinker is a nightmare.

[Dont confuse me]

I guess a harpoon jab in the ribs would get your attention?  Might even promote a, "I'm really sorry for disrespecting you dad"
