Racism or "just" bad behavior at Pattaya City Hospital?
I think its fortunate that the vast majority of Thai's are good enough to treat us based on individual merit and not with prejudice... But, I can see how in some area's of very high tourist and foreigner 'foot-fall' may expose Thai's to a greater incidence of poor behavior and that can lead to a 'familiarity breeds contempt' type situation.... Equally so, in such area's when a foreigner shows politeness and humility, this may be met with a certain degree of relief on the part of the Thai's who may have become a little jaded. Outside of area's of high tourist / foreigner footfall - there is a far greater likelihood of favourable treatment as exposure to foreigners maybe less concentrated, additionally, there may be less exposure to unhinged foreigners outside of 'foreign hotspots', which again lends to locals being less jaded towards foreigners. This difference in 'jaded attitudes' can be noted at various markets etc around Thailand.... Walk a market in a less touristy area and the interaction with Thai's is far more pleasant, than a market in Patong - as mentioned earlier, 'familiarity breeds contempt' ... and the behavior of 'some foreigners' does not help and neither does the fact that such area's may attract Thai's from outside the area who are only drawn to working in such locations to try to take advantage of foreigners... ... a double edged sword... -

Something smelling musky -- the age of undemocratic in your face oligarchy in the USA.
Correct. But by your own yardstick, "your opinion may not be the same but that does not make you right." I did not post that I was right, I posted my opinion as opposed to his dogmatic assertion. -

Short Time: Dream or Dilemma?
The best story I have from one of those I regulary met for motorbike riding who went to the same massage couple times a week for physical treatment, as what his wife thought, until she somehow discovered they where doing something more. How I do not now, but most likely an std. Falang wife moved out, massage lady moved in. -

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War
The video title says it all. A Russian journalist makes fun of a rather damaged tank - supposedly equipped with explosive reactive armour, which turns out to actually be common bricks. He thinks it was a "tank of f***ers", before realising it's one of theirs. At which point he repeats the first syllable of the blanked out expletive. The turret, planted in the ground by its gun, is weird. Must have been a massive mine that it hit. -
