Loz Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Of course they are able to do it. It' one of the most important part of their culture. When a Thai meets an other Thai he doesn't know, he should quickly judge if he is superior or inferior to him to know who is going to wai first. I don't want to say they get it always right with foreigners, but they are definitively able to make the difference between a penniless white trash and a respectable tourist or businessman. You sir, have refined optimism beyond the point where it is an art form, into the realm of pure fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgprg Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 White trash to me seems to be a term that should not be used on here.If other terms regarding colour were used i think we would be reprimanded . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario2008 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Some articles on Thai criminal law can be found here: http://www.chavalitfinchlaw.com/publications/publications.html These have been published in the Bangkok Post. No article on self defense though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 In my country Holland this would not be self defense because you use a gun against a knife. If you used something less as a gun it would be self defense. I heard it was similar in Thailand. How about a wet flannel, or you could just play paper scissor stone with them to decide? If your attacker has a softwood cricket bat and you have a hardwood one Im assuming that you will be the one to be banged up then?? Just read what some other posters said.. it concurs with what i thought. So go and play somewhere fantasies your in the good ol USA where you can own a guy and shoot people. You can't over here.
