Popular Post Mark Nothing Posted April 18 Popular Post Share Posted April 18 Another perfect example of social hierarchy at play in the land of smiles. Within this country thais have deemed themselves superior. Foreigners are conveniently inferior by default. Inferiors can not dictate anything to a superior without consequences. To reinforce the lesson the superior thais were required to enact immediate group justice to teach the inferior a lesson and ensure the social hierarchy's correct functioning. The actions of the thugs were justified by their interpretation of the social hierarchy system. Foreigners get themselves into unecessary difficulties by not understanding this hierarchy system is the very essence of thai culture. Loss of face occurs when social hierarchy is not followed. It has been instilled into them from birth. The reaction is automatic and uncontrollable until they feel the inferior has been adequately trained by group beating or even stabbing. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BritScot Posted April 18 Popular Post Share Posted April 18 Some people on this site are really twisted and very nasty people: how on earth can you try and twist a six on 1 beat down and stabbing on the 2 innocent foreigners?

Gecko123 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) Cops should be commended for promptly arresting the culprits. In the third clip in the OP there's footage of one cop talking to the culprits. He's got this big grin on his face which I found to be a little disconcerting. Little bit reminded me of 1960's civil rights era footage of a southern sheriff laughing and scratching with Klansmen under arrest for murdering Northern civil rights workers. Also noticed most of the people sitting in the back of the pickup were the girlfriends/wives of the assailants. Looks like a wolf pack mentality set in with no one wanting to be seen as unmanly in front of the women folk. Edited April 18 by Gecko123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like the way Thailand does things go back where you came from. I don't blame Thai people for being angry at foreigners when they misbehave. They have every right to be prejudiced if that's the case, it's just human nature. You're all a bunch of intruders to them, they didn't invite you here. And from where I sit it doesn't look like you have much understanding or respect for them. (I'm not referencing this incident or these particular criminals, only the ones you generally imply are "so unfair") And it's the kettle calling the stove black - you're no less prejudiced, your prejudice against Thais is transparently revealed by all your remarks. You have no moral authority to preach from. Nor do any of the rest of you. Who cares how the press covers it? There is little or no real journalism left ANYWHERE in the world. The rest of us didn't come here to listen to a bunch of doddering complainers. We know where we're better off - here - and we're grateful. I've managed to get through 10 years here without being treated so unfairly that I have to cry to the newspapers. Imagine that. If you want to change the world join the Peace Corps. And lastly, this is an example to prove all of you wrong - Thai people actually being arrested by Thai police, but that's not good enough, is it? Of course not. You enjoy complaining too much.

Personally, after witnessing Songkran, I don't hold much of it. There are many things that I find annoying, as someone who has to work 7 days a week. (I would probably see it differently if I had Thai children and no need to work). Nevertheless, I fully agree to everything you state: as a guest among hosts who actually did not invite me, I am not to judge local traditions, I am just to keep my opinions for myself, just saying to myself that next year, I will think about traveling abroad. While I find some aspects of Thailand annoying - but which country is perfect?... - I find grumpy expats and entitled boomers always criticizing every sh*t even more annoying! Like expats are normally told in every country I have been living in: if you don't like it, leave! Period! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
