impulse Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) So the Burmese can be just as bats#$% crazy as the Thais. As long as they keep it among themselves and leave the tourists alone... I think the accurate characterization is that one drunk can be as batcrap crazy as another. Seems I was just reading about a white colored drunk stealing a knife from a 7-11 to come back and stab another white colored guy. Not a Thai or Burmese in the equation. Story did have at least one drunk, though. Edited August 30, 2013 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpduggan Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I wonder if these Burmese workers will now be compelled to have insurance when they come into the come across the border as they are proposing for farangs. Will this incident go on the statistics of a falang being treated in hospital without insurance and at a huge cost to the health system?. Of course I'm making an assumption that Rambo was not insured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob1 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 With a name like Rambo I would imagine the bloke would have a few scars he could show people ... what a blood idiot.

catweazle Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Why is this news? Similar incidents happen amongst drunk Thais and Burmese alike on a daily basis all over Thailand... Both ethnics are equally violent and short-fused when alcohol comes into play... At the end of the day, it appears like Rambo got what he was asking for.

mikemac Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 It appears "Rambo" must learn some manners if he wishes to survive the camp. Hope he does not plan retribution for the sequel. But hey, what happens in the camp stays in the camp......................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sayonarax Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Cant say ive slapped or stabbed anybody. A bucket of ice cold water would of been suffice.. Im still waiting for all the "a guy was smoking pot with his friends when an argument broke out and the other guy got stabbed.." Said no news paper ever.. Alcohol, proudly fueling homicidal maniacs since ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Similar incidents happen amongst drunk Thais and Burmese alike". Did you forget the expat westerners? From what I read on TV about Phuket and Pattaya many of them act the same when drunk! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
