It is systemic. Parents favor boys, and tell them so. They end up feeling superior even though it is patently untrue. There is such an abundance of delusion within that favoritism.

How about because he did not know him, or the family and no one except AN posters would read it?

Have to be careful in Thailand, you need to know the mental state of whoever you are dealing with

What, interrogate staff husbands, get their criminal records etc....

Don't fink so....

I will never understand why a guy from a western country with a few bucks goes to Thailand and opens a business. Tragic ending to a good life.

RIP to the victim

 

and you raise something that is overlooked

 

Male dominant societies exist in every non-rule of law country, the societies just hide behind Islamic Nationslism, Hindu, Budhism, Confucism, all varying ancient class systems, that some countries just fake and imitate rules based order bureaucracy, just to bring in Western Capital and develop an even stronger glass ceiling, using the fake bureaucracy to keep the masses under the strong glass ceiling, and turn them into low IQ imbiciles that sometimes go violently mad

 

I mentioned Confucism, because the Han Chinese class system is just as bad in how they treat women as the under class, just as the Islamic nationalists do, with a hugely corrupt society, and unlucky for the Thai's, as many are now in powerful positions, and like any autocratic regimes, hate and see the West as their nemesis

 

rule of law societies brings fairness to most of the people, no matter what the gender

 

So many foreigners come to live in Thailand or tourists, that they forget this could happen in many non-rule of countries around the world not just Thailand with low IQ, entitled or those gone mad locals

 

 

 

 

Thanks a socially more thinking analysis. (I do mine on Geography inc. Human Geography, as you might notice) but your take here, is a very good take on the beginning, (I think ? ) of the whole thing,

 

... But well do not forget that the Woman in Thailand do have more freedom, than in any other country that I know !!! ??? ... (That is why the sex industry is allowed to exist ! Because they have the Freedom, to participate IN it if they would like to, and I have seen a few Local cases where the Husbands get the Ultimatum ! ... Find the money for the Children's school ! ... OR I will ! )

 

So well this woman, probably would NOT be any where near Innocent either I would bet !!! ???

I doubt this guy even had a job himself, owed money (gambling, alky, drugs?) and relied on his wife for money. 

You're so well-informed, the real story is much appreciated.

The attacker like most Thai male cowards, probably sitting at home drinking whisky while his wife goes out to make a living. Only to be beaten up on a regular basis there's not a real man amongst them

Count the number of comments which include the rather meaningless RIP (can you not ' rest in peace when dead ' ? ) and they are few and far between. So,Bizarre to reprimand someone for not using it especially when this is a news forum . NEWS…not a book of condolences.

my prerogative

Yeah, true, but stabbings are pretty rare here in Vancouver..... in thailand they're a daily occurrence, whether they involve foreigners or not.

I used to love Thailand but I kinda got sick of it lately. Too many issues. MIght go there on holiday again but not sure (also flights are a lot more expensive these days).

I still find their attempts to lure the richest foreigners pretty pathetic. I guess some idiots will go for it, but any millionaire with a brain should know that if you are loaded there are millions of better places than Thailand to spend your cash.

It's not an uplifting or inspiring place to live.

There are an extremely limited number of rich tourists who visit Thailand, for a dozen valid reasons. They continue to attract primarily low to middle income Indians, Malaysians, and Chinese. Fewer Europeans and Americans and very few with real money. Rich tourists have alot of options, without ignorant luxury and wine taxes, dumb laws, and scammers. 

 

Having said that, Thailand remains a relatively safe place to travel. 

Safer than Latin America, definitely! But, I'd say, not as safe as many people assume.

"Totally delusional" is not humanity's natural state. "Totally delusional" arises out of specific social contexts.

 

Is the system of education and public debate in Thailand built around logic, debate, facts, evidence, and reasoning? Does it encourage anyone here to develop accurate perception?

I do not think that this guy thinks he is special, He is probably Really REALLY put down, and knows it ! His wife probably puts him down as well.

He is just a social Mess, NO more heavy work for him to do, or defence, machines do it all now ... And if you are an Alcoholic you cannot drive either, so no truck driving either … Like he is just useless, and he Knows it which is why he is so bad about things !!! … And he has never been trained for another way ! So he has None.

 

I do not know ? I might get squiggly mouthed for this or worse ! … But well ... Everyone is talking about this like it is a Bad Thai man, killing a good white Australian in this case !!! … BUT well I most adamantly would like to know what the sexual status was between the white man, the Resort owners Husband, … and the Local married woman employee. ...

 

Like this will not excuse the husband ! But it Might offer us all a bit of an Education on How to Live ! ? … Or not live our lives ???Around here anyway.

 

(Well I had a Jordie side of the Newcastle estuary guy who I worked with out on the boats, tell me that it was just the same there also !!! Har Har !!!  … But well that is another story I think, that I will just have to leave out her also.)

 

… Have a nice day all … Beer O’clock !!! Time to go out and brave the Knives and pieces of wood with the Missus myself !!! …

Did you get stabbed and slashed to death? apples and oranges...

And, if he HAD been stabbed and slashed to death in Canada, his surviving family would then be dealing with the Canadian justice system rather than the Thai equivalent.

Perhaps lie to her husband. 
It seems a bit far-fetched that someone would get riled up enough to travel there and stab someone to death over not LENDING an employee money, unless the wife gave him a story that put the Australian in a terrible light.

Why is he described as the Boss  yet the article stated that he was only helping the wife who is the BOSS?

Unless the Amity Treaty applies (only US cits and certain kinds of businesses), foreigners can't own (control) a business in Thailand. The majority shares must be held by a Thai national. So maybe the Aussie was managing the restaurant but his wife owned majority shares and therefore was technically the boss.

Regarding the western men who CHOOSE to abandon the rule of law countries of their birth, so they can live in male-dominated, non-rule of law countries... Well, back in the west quite frankly we are better off without them.

 

I call it self-selection into a suitable environment. People are attracted to whatever resonates for them.

I find that to be just the opposite. I love so many things about this place. Now, if you were talking about the US, I would agree. That place is depressing, predictable, monotonous, stupid overpriced, boring and stifling. Not here. Not for me.

Used to feel that way about the west, myself, so I can empathise with that perspective.

Sad dying like this. Many thai men are so immature. They act like animals. Parents don't teach boys on how to manage your anger. If you can't stop yourself, use your fists, not weapons. 

Thai society only teaches people to manage their anger and deal with personal criticism up to a certain point (the daily politeness level that all Thais work so hard to maintain). Once you get beyond that line in the sand, you are in uncharted territory. Things can go wrong very quickly. 

 

In the west we are accustomed to dealing with personal criticism and debate that may result in bruised egos but doesn't end in an emergency ward.

The one Thai girl who managed to inveigle herself into my life, told people that I used to hit her. I have no idea as to why she would do that, as not only did we not have an argument, but there was no money exchanging hands. 
I only knew about it when someone started rolling up their sleeves and walking towards me. She quickly got in between. Later he told me what she had been saying. 
Likely she got herself into a situation and then lied to the people around her.
