davidst01 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 A friend of mine on fbook wrote a comment where she was extremely angry and upset about something- without exactly stating what the problem was. I wrote her a note asking if she was ok and what was wrong. She said ''Hi, I just met four Foreigners on street while I'm walking to go home they ask me to go with them,they give me money and I took them money and throw money in the bin in front of them to see that money cannot buy me and I'm not like a kind of women like that they said to me that money can buy everything no matter how hard it is so I'm happy to throw them money in the bin and see them pick it up,but at that time I feel so angry and hot inside can't stay calm,now I'm ok'' My friend is a classy girl and has extremely high integrity; and is a talented chef in Bangkok and works hard in her job. I can totally understand that she must have been insulted. If I had of been with her I obviously would have handled this situation and abused these immature guys. If this happens to her again, how should a thai girl react to this situation in your opinion...

Lancelot Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I don't blame your friend for being offended- the guys were morons and its best to ignore idiots like that. I hope your friend is also concerned with the rampant prostitution of Thai women both in country and around the world and willing to pay taxes to improve the (Thai) education system social safety network so the financial need to prostitute their bodies is greatly decreased... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hard to say without knowing the full story. I think it would depend a lot on the circumstances and the area where it happened. If it is for example in a business district or on the sky train, the guys were way out of order! I would not condone taking he money and throwing it in the bin tough. A verbal rebuke would have done. This is of course assuming no physical contact/intimidation happened. If it happened for example just outside the nana plaza entrance, I'd say she has to grow some thicker skin. Unless the guys were really obnoxious or drunk, a friendly refusal would be all it takes! Lord knows what all the regular staff (hotel staff, restaurant staff, etc) have to endure, and they seem to handle it pretty ok! It comes with the area, if she doesn't like it then such area's are best avoided.

(please refrain from troll comments as I want to let her read this thread) I (for one but I am sure there are many many others on this board) am truly impressed that your friendship with this exceptional young lady has led you to post in this forum excoriating and "by implication" smearing the sizable contingent of non-Thais who post here as ripe for your admonishment. It is unfortunate that the words and actions of a few hooligans have been so much a source of pain and torment for your friend that she decided to feature the incident on her Facebook page. It is indeed a credit to all non-Thais, male and female, indeed the expat community as a whole, that you have taken up the cause of this "classy girl" Your like-minded reaction, your decision to broadcast the incident on this forum and your shared morality regarding your friend is likely to bring you closer.

Popular Post besth Posted May 25, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hopefully it won't happen to her again, but if it does, forget about the money. Calling the police would take too long.

krisb Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Look, you can't blame a bunch of young, drunk tourists in Thailand. So they offered her money, she declined after firstly taking it from them then she gets upset and puts it on Facebook. So what. Least they didn't try and drag her away.
