Thai rider physically assaulted female client over confusing address
Perhaps... maybe its 'modernisation'... But I still think our awareness is related to the media - particularly social media. There has been this myth that Thai's are unflappable, avoid conflict, don't get angry, don't use bad language etc... But this is clearly untrue - Thai folk are just like the rest of us... Perhaps in aggregate the average Thai is less confrontational than the average Westerner - but there are also pro's and cons to that double edged sword, what makes Thailand attractive for the 'easy going nature' of it populace also is the cause of many frustrations as issues are not addressed... this also seems to lead towards a 'sub-dermal frustration' and once the skin is pierced things can boil over quickly... I've been here well over 20 years and I have seen the amazing positives and outrageous negatives of society here. The one facet of society that has changed more than any other is the internet, or more specifically, social media and how now anything can reach millions within minutes. Thus: when something happens, we can all read of it quickly... We are ever increasingly alert to the issues that surround us and while media sources such as this forum are somewhat of a 'western-centric bubble with tit-bits of Thai-centric news thrown in'... thats enough to penetrate the rose tinted ignorance we may otherwise walk around in... But... Perhaps... as Thailand evolves, as more and more Westerners move here we become more and more normalised.... I think we've been normalised here for decades already, in major area's such as Bangkok at least - treated with the same standard level of indifference everyone else treats everyone else with... there are no frills, no wonder.. just normalcy.... I'm quite happy with that and I don't see that its changed over a couple of decades... ... what has changed is the access to widespread media, where as before we'd have to read the Thai newspapers to gauge the true temperature of the nation we can now see that everywhere around us. Thailand is still great place to live - just like anywhere, there are many negatives, there are many positives - for me living here is a net positive... I don't see any significant changes over 20 years... ... well, perhaps another point, the financial gap between the average Westerner and average Thai seems to have closed... and with it that may bring more frustration to some foreigners and that could impact their behavior... -

UK Immigration - Stranger Danger!
Your comprehension skills need improvement, duh - I said I'm in the UK most of the year! My location next to my username might give you a clue. I'm semi or fully retiring in 12-18 months at age 54 and yes that won't be in the UK. I made my own money, been a higher rate taxpayer since my mid-20s before you say I've sponged off the govt. I'll go back for the summer because I have property there but even that's subject to change in future. Unfortunately the place is sinking. Walked around Wembley the other day for a medical appt, you couldn't have reliably identified it as British, as is the case of large swathes of London. The rest of your riposte is a lame swipe at British tourists, which has sweet FA to do with long-term immigration. And you could easily say that about plenty of other nationalities. Been having a circle jerk with Gottrid and Malcolm?😄 If you're going to come up with some decent counterpoints, do try harder. As for you - are you British or lived there recently? If not - a fair bet judging by your response and username - you don't have any real credibility. -

RFK Jr.’s Appointment to Health Post Risks Breaking Medicine’s First Rule
Complete and utter BS. What's going to happen is the deadwood are going to get the boot. I'd imagine this will start at the bloated top not the bottom. -

Aussie teen dies in Bangkok after Laos poisoning, 4 dead
I doubt very much that their intention was to deliberately kill people . Why would they want to do that ? -

Vice President Donald Trump
Has nothing to do with you slandering him for coke use without a positive urinalysis. 90% of the drunks on the forum look much worse than Jr -

RFK Jr.’s Appointment to Health Post Risks Breaking Medicine’s First Rule
So, you think whooping cough is going to make a come back due to RFK? He is not anti VAX, that's just your lamestream media nonsense, but you fall for it. So from you comments you don't seem to have your own opinion, are you American? Do you think that trying to remove dodgy chemicals from the food system is a bad thing, or do you support big pharma and mosanto style companies? I think you would argue black is blue if it was trump related.- 1
