Israeli Tourist's Taxi 'Mishap' Resolved with 1,500 Baht in Pattaya
I think the tourists were probably upset that they weren't being taken to their destination which is something they desperately needed much more after the incident. Not saying the driver should be expected to drive with the stink of course not but both the driver and the passengers were having a very bad day. So the guy has an accident, now not only pay the fare without getting home, but now pay much more and no way to get home. Not the driver's fault but certainly stressful for the tourists. It's not like there was a hosing down station on the street. -

Does the inequality ever make you uncomfortable?
No. But I don't flaunt my wealth around the locals. -

The Thais have a major advantage - their embrace of family and communal living. The West had this until the 50's, but post-modernist Marxism has managed to progressively replace the family with the welfare state. The chick at the 7/11 earning circa 10-12k per month either lives with her multi-generational family of nine, or five of her workmates/friends. Her rent and amenities contribution is probably no more than 2K. Food is shared communally and frugally, probably 2-3K per month. The rest is hers to pay off debts, buy the lottery, support the family. She won't be retiring with a thousand rai farm or a Mercedes, but that's how they survive. -

Yes, but it was a very loud post, in a really big font, which means it conclusively wins the argument! Surely you have been around long enough to know that posting "FACT" at the start of a claim or statement means it is absolutely incontrovertible, one might say it trumps any argument! -

It's the stuff of dreams really which I am sure is in fact what it really is.
