Thai people seem to me to be uneducated and that goes hand in hand with common sense. Thai people seem generally not more stupid than Aussies or whoever. Thousands of people in our village can do/fix XYZ. But their mindset/ future thinking can be of a 13 year old. Ride the BTS and see the masks... ..they just can not let go.???????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many, if not most, are actually sino-thai, whose Chinese cultural heritage seems to differ from other Thais in many ways, and lead them to be a tad more responsible and forward-thinking. But since they tend to be considerably wealthier than average, they might instead behave badly in the belief/certainty that money can get them out of trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What brings you to the conclusion my native country is free from savage attacks, what a strange comment. Also, whilst i'm sure similar incidents do occur they seem to be almost daily here ( and these are the ones we hear about on english websites ), you can only imagine ones that occur and are 1. not reported or 2. reported in only Thai mediums, the mind boggles.....

giddyup Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 7 hours ago, Adumbration said: More than a decade ago I used to live near this lake. I know this exact spot. There was a walking trail in through the jungle to a spot where you can jump off a small cliff into the water. It was a real gem to find something like this in Phuket. The lake backs onto a mountain, is entirely surrounded by jungle, and has very clear water. I often used to take Thai girls that I dated there on the first date to have a picnic and a swim. It was lovely, serene, and like the modern world never existed. About a year after I discovered this spot, Thai youths started coming there to cook kratom. They built a couple of humpies out of scrap iron and wood. And then the tiny spot atop the cliff, and the surrounding jungle, was transformed into a giant trash heap. For those that do not know, when they make the kratom drink, they make a fire and boil the leaves, cool the resulting tincture with ice, and then add cough syrup for its Pseudoephedrine and Coke to sweeten the brew. A beautiful and secluded spot was transformed into a garbage tip of plastic bags, hundreds of coke and cough medicine bottles, mostly smashed, and pieces of innertube used to start the fires. Thai society is on its last legs. Take Paradise and put up a Parking Lot. It's pretty much universal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comment: "Look at how they live, nothing more than savages" As if how they live had something to do with this attack. Therefore I assumed you come from a country where you don't live like savages so therefore lack brutal attacks. I was just curious which country that might be. I come from the US and pretty sure that any brutality in Thailand pales in comparison by a long shot. But really I'm much more curious as to why you think Thais live like nothing more than savages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
