No doubt it was just a coincidence. These two were probably gleefully singing "my grandad killed your grandad" to a couple of passing Germans when the disagreement broke out.  With any luck the survivor will serve his entire sentence here and not back in one of those cushy UK prisons where one can identify as female and bunk with the ladies. 

 

Decent Brits know exactly what I'm talking about and despise that element of their culture. You won't find many Yanks who know about that song, at any rate. 

 

 

There aren't many of 'my kind' of 'Brit' that likes to be included in your version of  'decent' British people.

I can assure you of that!

There is far too much emphasis placed on the nationality of individuals committing crimes in Thailand, rather than on the actual crimes themselves.

 

Any person with even limited education knows that there are good and bad in every nation, and crooks come from all over the Globe to Thailand for many reasons.

 

Thailand is a gateway and passing point for many nationalities, and certainly attracts its fair share that are not here for temples and tourism.

 

Bashing people based purely on their nationality is a sign of ignorance.

 

I am British by birth, a mixture of English and Irish.

 

I have many friends and acquaintances in many countries, and I am well travelled and educated.

 

Furthermore, I don't expect to meet French people in striped shirts carrying onions around their neck riding bicycles, just as they won't see me in a British Bulldog T-shirt, with armfuls of tattoos and a huge beer gut, with a handkerchief on my head.

 

The stereotypes needing binning, and focus needs placing on the crimes themselves, and leaving it to the relevant authorities to punish offenders, as opposed to Asean Now rants about deportations and jailing, from the hang em high brigades, whose opinions carry no clout in Thai law courts.
