Another Farang bully makes the news.
A lot of locals may as this isn't the first time for such an occurrence. I think that in areas of high tourist footfall, a self-perpetuating cycle of contempt often emerges from excessive familiarity. The constant influx of visitors - many of whom behave with little regard for local customs - can breed a weariness among those who serve them. Frequently staffed by transient, profit-driven workers with no deep-rooted ties to the area, these places often develop a brittle, transactional atmosphere. Daily exposure to the full spectrum of human manners tends to erode patience, fostering an underlying edginess that can verge on hostility. This simmering tension subtly infects every interaction, reinforcing the double-edged stigma that so often clings to heavily touristed destinations: one of superficial charm masking disdain. Fortunately, this impression tends to remain restricted to such areas and rarely bleeds into places 'considered more normal' where interactions are rooted in mutual respect and civility. Beyond the tourist hotspots, exchanges are more often grounded in a shared sense of human decency where courtesy prevails and each encounter is judged on its own merit, rather than clouded by stereotype or fatigue. I for one am relieved that, in the vast majority of cases, Thais possess the discernment to judge me, my family, and my friends with the same quiet respect and courteous indifference they extend to one another. It’s a mutual human understanding - simple, polite, and grounded in a shared recognition of dignity. This makes daily life here not only bearable, but pleasant. -

Trump Threatens Major Tariff Surge of 50% on EU Amid Trade Frustrations
You are highlighting a crucial issue. MAGAs are rejoicing about the chaos created by Trump and about the perspective of screwing others. They seem to ignore that firms need to invest in R&D, production, etc... and need a minimum of predictability of the economic environment. Currently, they are not even able to forecast how much they should produce next month, or even next week! -
