It's merely a different kind of corruption, leading to the vast increase of violence you also haven't noticed. Actually most never hear about the true number of violent cases in the USA because it's suppressed by legacy media organizations in bed with the political left, who don't want to lose votes and donations. It also never gets to the US daily, which is why you've remained clueless. It always amazes me how many "adults" here assume they know about others personal lives. Everything you know I probably have already heard about before you have, as I keep up with daily news worldwide both here and with family and friends over there. Unlike some here, I don't go by random youtube videos but actual news. Nothing was suppressed when I was there 6 years ago and I still hear about it daily now. Here, there are nowhere near as many news stations as there are home. Here, news is suppressed because they don't want to hurt tourism dollars. Back home, there's infighting between the two parties, and everything that happens gets out immediately, even involving the two parties. Like I've said before, don't assume about others, because you nothing about anyone here. Also don't assume you know all that goes on here, because they won't let you know all of it on TV, although it does get recorded somewhere, and you can look up stats online anytime. There is corruption everywhere, as history has shown, but it's always higher in poorer countries, because of that one thing, money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chwooly Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 4 hours ago, Bangkok Barry said: You clearly don't know Thailand very well. These kind of incidents happen on an almost daily basis in Thailand, but it is usually Thai(s) on Thai. They fight like a pack of rabid dogs, with the scale of violence far in excess of what we would see in the west. Many Thai men are uneducated neanderthals who have no sense of moderation and the fact that the way they fight could result in brain damage or death never occurs to them, as they are too stupid to join the dots. The thug savagely kicking the guy in the white shirt when he was down and absolutely no threat at all tells you all you need to know. This still from a video shows the thug running at the victim so fast he is blurred in the photo. But you claim - you 'guess' - such excessive violence must have been warranted. You 'bet' they deserved it. This right here should be enough for an aggravated assault charge if not attempted murder. Saying they need a complaint is bull<deleted>. If I kill someone and no one sees it why can I be charged with murder if there is no one to complain. 555 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you expect the Security to say, "hey mr farang, you didn't pay your bill, you tried to steal from us and hit me in the face, let's have a square go, I want to respect the noble culture of your country regarding square gos"? Of course they loathe drunken foreign mongers who come to take advantage of their impoverished women who are forced into selling their bodies. I know what would happen in Leith or Aberdeen if drunken Asian tourists tried this in a Scottish nightclub. The smiles are not fake, there are 13 smiles and they all have names, research them. I agree they are thugs, Pattaya is where the dregs of Thailand meet the dregs of the world. Kicking a man when he is down is not nice in any culture. 4 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sentiments swirl around communities where red light nightlife are frequented by foreign punters , a majority of them who are undesirables, gave them a myopic view of foreign behaviors. Just like the posters in this forum who also have a myopic view of Thai ladies based upon their interactions in pattaya nightlife. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line, as a farang or tourist in Thailand you ain't going to win. My advice as a 78 yoa retired cop is to avoid any conflict at all cost, don't argue and walk away before getting your ass handed to you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctkong Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I have been to many provinces (73 so far) in my 30 years in Thailand. Married to a myanmar- Thai wife with many Thai relatives. There are all sorts of communities all over. Phuket, koh samui, pattaya, hua hin, Chiangmai, Bangkok, chiangrai being more inhabited by foreigners each with their preferences. There are many types of Thai people with different ancestral backgrounds. There are myanmar- Thai culture in Mae sot area, pattani Thai culture in the south, Laos - Thai culture in northern part of issan , Cambodia-Thai culture in the lower part of issan, central Thai culture from sukhotai Ayutthaya,Lopburi,Bangkok area, Lanna-Thai culture in chiangmai,chiangrai region. those Thais in the night club areas are mainly from issan region. Both man and women. They are also being discriminated and exploited by mainstream thais too so can you blame them with their ‘it’s us against them mentality ?’ Given their myopic interactions with the only foreigners they come across daily? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier NOT to make any attempt to integrate into Thai society and Thaibash everything you think is wrong with your new culture, to justify your non-action. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctkong Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 13 minutes ago, bob smith said: forced into selling their bodies?? most of the thai bar girls are just lazy cows who couldn't be ars3d at school! bob. May be true but if you go to rural issan upcountry, there are small hamlets with literally no human habitations around for miles let alone schools. Thailand traditionally do not have public schools in ancient time. The temple provides the schooling for the public thus the emergence of temple schools. With no means of upgrading themselves, the males would go into hard labour while the females chose the easier path. There are females in constructions too but they live a hard life. You would be surprised to know that majority rural issan people are quite conservative in their outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It's like cutting off ones que, in atonement, only less so....) Cutting off just a mustache is not as bad as cutting off one's cue. In addition, the guard would be even handsomer without his mustache. Mustache denotes masculinity and position of power ie. as in Muslim countries. Clean shaven denotes feminine character… as in gay . He must be proud of his hair growth as you don’t see many mustachioed Thais around. Better he shave his head to atone for his sin … Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then you really have no excuse except a problem between the ears of processing the information and drawing accurate, unbiased conclusions--a condition actually worse than mere ignorance. It comes as no surprise you're moving back to the USA as fast as you can. Again you're assuming you know a thing about me. You don't. I don't go by opinions but facts, which are more reliable. I see with my own eyes what I heard abut for many years before I moved here, and I listen to everyone when they talk about a subject that interests me. Many here have their heads in the sand and are brown nosers, actually thinking anyone actually cares about them here besides those that can gain somehow. The reasons I'm moving back to the US are because I cannot enjoy my hobbies here, as some aren't allowed, and those that are are hindered by greed and a lack of conservation, meaning hunting and fishing. I'm also leaving because women here are looked at as inferior, as in all Buddhist countries, and this isn't what I want for my daughter. She will do much better living in a country where she is appreciated more for her intellect than her body, and can have a job that pays her more an hour than most get here in a day. It is one of the most dangerous places to drive on earth, and it won't change much if at all in our lifetimes. This is a third world country in many ways, wifi, power, road conditions, pollution, dirty air, corrupt officials involved in trafficking busted almost weekly, people who kill animals for no reason but being hateful, those that treat children as objects to show off in selfies then forget once they go to school. People ganging up on others five against one, armed with weapons and killing for little more than a few baht, as life isn't as precious here as it is back home. The schools are among the worst on earth, this being another reason I want my daughter back home. I'm hardly the only one here that knows what goes on, but it does seem many are blind to it, although just looking at the daily news will give you a glance at what happens daily. I'm as far from ignorant as you are from having a clue to what reality here actually is. If you think otherwise, it's you that has a problem between your ears, or are just another brown noser who thinks anyone cares if you stick up for them. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
