    Why? In general, I sit and eat or stay and eat near a table. But sometimes I walk. Why not?          

  • Like ice cream? Or steak with knife and fork?

Melting and run down your hands, dripping to your shirt, pants, shoes, street.

Horrible.

Why you can't sit at a table? Or standing and wash your hands later?

Because I paid 10 baht to a street vendor and there are no tables and chairs.

Couldn't believe it tonight , I saw a Western man using hands when putting meat  onto a hot pot .

   Instead of using chopsticks, he was using his hands and fingers

No manners, as many

As you are the thread starter I guess it is ok to answer to your ot comments:

 

 

You and I live in completely different worlds with totally different realities.

 

 

Privileged? Since more than a year they are being “unalived” by the 10s of thousands.

Entitled? To what? To own the land, they have been living on for generations and which has been taken from them, without ever asking them, and it's still being taken from them right now. Would you act differently?

 

 

 

 

 

Which side is the one being funded with billions? Which side is the one with the well trained army and equipped with the best and most modern weapons, you can get Let alone tanks, fighter jets, 2000 pound bombs, bunker breakers, you name it and is supported with data from satellites, western Secret Services and even Google.

 And which one is the site with AK-40 sevens and outdated missiles, which hardly hit any target. You call that mass funding?

 

 

 

The mass world support is not because they are fighting against Jews it is because they are fighting for justice. Justice in terms of the UN partition plan of 1948 which granted both people a state but only one people proclaimed their state and since then did everything to prevent the other people from getting theirs.

 

These are historical facts. I'm not making that up.

If anyone is entitled, then those people who claim a land, which they had left 2000 years ago, and now claim to have the exclusive right to live there as it was promised to them by their God justifying it with some ancient book.

 

It is historically proven that both people have been living peacefully side by side together with the third group, I call them the strange people, as their most used sign is the cross on which their beloved prophet was killed in a horrific way.

 

Sure, there have been wars and the rulers changed but most conflicts were between the watermelon and the strange people, while both sides never had issues with the chosen people, because you could only be born as one as your mother had to be a chosen person but not be recruited and therefore posed no threat or competition to the beliefs of the others, which one could convert to or from.

 

The since then never ending war started when the chosen people started moving back back to the land of their ancestors about 100 years ago, were now the watermelon people were living for centuries, raising their numbers from 3% to 30% of the population within less than 3 decades and then taking more than 50% of the land and proclaiming an exclusively chosen people state.

 

The basic law of the chosen state says: “the state of I. is the national home of the J. people in which it fulfils its …. right to self determination. The state will ensure the safety of the J. people … due to the fact of their J.ness.  The state views the development of J. settlement as national value and will act to encourage and promote its establishment and consolidation.”

 

I was never good in history and until last year didn't know much about the watermelon-chosen conflict, because almost every year one could see some news reporting something about it and after a few days it was over.

 

But this time the whole conflict took more than a year and the world started taking notice and was shocked.

 

And a horror once seen cannot be made unseen.

 

Again, I am not siding with one people and to be honest, having met people from both the chosen and the watermelon people I always got along much better with the chosen people, as they are usually very friendly, open minded, intelligent and well educated.

 

But I refuse, and always will refuse, to rightfully condemn the heinous atrocities done to one people within one day and then be silent when the other people are brutalised in the same way for more than a year.

 

And from my point of view everyone, no matter on which side, who supports any kind of aggression or harm being done to the other side, is a hopeless idiot and imbecile, because that's what they have been doing for the last 7 decades and where did it get them to?

 

If they would have spent just a fraction of that money they spent for their weapons to support the fair creation of two states where both people can live and thrive without fear side by side, all those atrocities on both sides would never have happened.

 

Because a person, who is living a prosperous life in peace, harmony and safety for him and his family will hardly be convinced to pick up a weapon, start a war and by doing so risking all he has.

 

Thanks for leaving the mainstream and to express what nobody likes to listen to.

Thanks.👍

Can i eat ice cream walking?

 

   Only if its a Swensens ice cream and in a cone .

Not one of those cheap 10 Baht market ice creams which is just frozen water , coconut juice and milk and on a slice of bread .

   Should only walk around eating a real ice cream from cones

Indians and some other countries use their hands to eat 

Right hand only though. The left hand is unclean (no matter how much you wash it).

It is, they have an abundance of meals on offer, just a ping in the microwave and hey presto gourmet cuisine, they'll even serve it to you on the step!🙂

 

I always wondered why some 7-11's do not provide seating outside the shop even when there is plenty of room. When riding my motorbike and feel hungry, I go into a 7-11 and buy a sandwich and carton of milk, if there is no seating, where do I eat it?

    Could be that they don't own the land outside the shop .

Plenty of 7/11's have seating indoors locally

I have noticed that the odd 7-11 does have seating indoors, a pity they don't all have.

Thai's used to eat rice with their hands too but the practice was ended by the king in favor of the highly civilized spoon and fork method.

 

I went to an Arab restaurant once (Jordan I think) and they ate rice with their hands. It was vile watching men with long beards use their hands to mix up the rice and slop with their hands then shovel it into the their mouths leaving residue over the face and beard. 

I stay well away from guys with too much facial hair, even a big mouser is disgusting.

   I didn't say that I didn't understand it , but I am quite certain that it was only used for Females , "Kevins" was the name used for the Male version , but Kevins was only used briefly because it all died out soon after .

 Its  Just those not up to date who still use those terms 

  

Why use the word Karen? Why not use the name Daphne or Gladys instead. Karen is a beautiful girls name.

That doesn't bother me. What does though, is guys sitting eating in a restaurant wearing a baseball cap.

Why should that bother you?

I used my bare hands to eat my dinner last night ,spare ribs and combo snack .

I was sat down, so its perfectly acceptable to eat the whole meal just using hands (well apart from the mash potato, I needed a spoon for that)

"Lots of Thais did it "

 

 

 My thread was specifically about felangs doing it , I have yet to see a bad mannered Thai doing it , apart from the Thais that got their bad manners from their felang boyfriend and they copy him .

   But those sort of girls aren't usually the best mannered people to begin with
