Are thai people the most illogical people you have ever met?

[slipperx]

Time to go home once you start finding bad points.

No really - there are bad points in every place. If no one talks about them then those that don't know will never benefit from the experience if others.

Just because a place has bad points doesn't necessarily mean that the good points don't outweigh them.

Unfortunately there are other people who don't like anyone saying anything that is not positive. That is their prerogative of course.

When I saw the title of this topic I knew that it was going to be a very hot topic. Having lived in Thailand for 7 years,although having been gone now for quite some time this subject was one of the many that fascinated me. I refer to it a the "Irrefutable Thai Logic". When you first begin to experience it it is quite amazing. I used to have a lot more examples but two that come to mind was when a Farang was involved in a traffic accident where the Thai was clearly in the wrong . It was determined that the Farang must pay because if he had never came to Thailand the accident would not have occurred.

Another time there was some sort of contest at a hotel bar where tickets were given out with numbers . A Thai girl I knew was leaving and said here you can have mine. Later that night I won , her friends called her and told her that I had won. The next day she saw me and demanded I give her the prize because she had given me her tickets. there was no way to know who's ticket had won but she was convinced that I was cheating her and her friends all supported her position. I scoffed at first on principle that if she had wanted to win a prize she should have stayed. Being the bigger man and to avoid any ongoing conflicts I gave her the prize which was a free night at the hotel or something.

There are other examples but I think you get the point. I even experience this with my Lovely Thai wife of 14 years.

The Bottom line is that their point of view or Thai logic as it seems is the one that supports whatever is favorable for them!

If you do not agree that Mexicans working in a restaurant are the loudest at making noise, banging chairs and dishes and silverware, then you havent been in CA long enough to know.

The Thai's in CA, blend in with their surroundings and tend to stay together, in the back of their place of work congregating. They aren't in full view at clubs buying $14.00 drinks

the rest of your post can be reduced by the same ratio as your 1,000,000 thais in CA,

More stereotypical nonsense. Expensive Mexican restaurants are quiet and cheap ones are noisy. Some Thais stay with other Thais some don't. Some Irish Americans stick together and some don't.

The stereotypical talk about race, nationality or gender is nonsense/bar talk.

One good one was a raffle drawn on the winners of the world cup that didn't close on the first match.

All the entries were thrown into the same box from the first night of matches. Of course, on the final whistle they wanted to draw who had predicted it correctly, but 90% of the tickets in the bin were I correct.

So now you post an English word that you thinks all Thais cannot say after staying with a prostitute in Thailand for six months. Correct?

Thais can say any English word in the dictionary given the proper education. All Mexicans are not loud and there are Thai people who can say probably.

Why do you feel the need to stereotype people? I believe you have informed us that the fattest women in America are from Wisconsin, Mexicans are loud, Thai massage prostitutes are at the top of the prostitution ladder in Thailand and on and on. Why do you generalize/stereotype such outrageous things?

People are all different all the time. Try travel or education to learn some of the background and history of the places you so callously stereotype.

Checked in yesterday to a "resort." New place, 30+ rooms, maybe a year old. Attractive construction, lush and tropical grounds, nice atmosphere all around. One of the few places I've been here that's quiet. Sheep in a pasture next door.

Ate some good food, petted the lambs, went back to the room to get read a bit.

As usual, the lamp was unplugged (lack of logic right there), but at least, unusually, it was actually on a night table, bedside.

Moved the table, pulled out the bed. Nope. No plug. Not one, anywhere in the room.

But there was a bulb in the lamp.

RIP Pete Seeger!

English Is CUH-RAY-ZEE

Words by Josh White, Jr. and Pete Seeger

English is the most widely spoken language in the history of the planet.

One out of every seven human beings can speak or read it.

Half the world's books, 3/4 of the international mail are in English.

It has the largest vocabulary, perhaps two million words,

And a noble body of literature. But face it:

English is cuh-ray-zee!

Just a few examples: There's no egg in eggplant, no pine or apple in pineapple.

Quicksand works slowly; boxing rings are square.

A writer writes, but do fingers fing?

Hammers don't ham, grocers don't groce. Haberdashers don't haberdash.

English is cuh-ray-zee!

If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth?

It's one goose, two geese. Why not one moose, two meese?

If it's one index, two indices; why not one Kleenex, two Kleenices?

English is cuh-ray-zee!

You can comb through the annals of history, but not just one annal.

You can make amends, but not just one amend.

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one, is it an odd or an end?

If the teacher taught, why isn't it true that a preacher praught?

If you wrote a letter, did you also bote your tongue?

And if a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

English is cuh-ray-zee!

Why is it that night falls but never breaks and day breaks but never falls?

In what other language do people drive on the parkway and park on the driveway?

Ship by truck but send cargo by ship? Recite at a play but play at a recital?

Have noses that run and feet that smell?

English is cuh-ray-zee!

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same

When a wise man and a wise guy are very different?

To overlook something and to oversee something are very different,

But quite a lot and quite a few are the same.

How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?

English is cuh-ray-zee!

You have to marvel at the lunacy of a language in which your house can burn down

While it is burning up. You fill out a form by filling it in.

In which your alarm clock goes off by going on.

If pro is the opposite of con, what is the opposite of progress?

Well, English was invented by people, not computers

And reflects the creativity of the human race.

So that's why when the stars are out, they're visible,

But when the lights are out, they're invisible.

When I wind up my watch I start it, but when I wind up this rap,

I end it. English is cuh-ray-zee!

[Bkungbank]

It sometimes very different from western world we have to take it or leave it.

First I understand the salesman about new bicycle and demo set if he put the paddle and let the customer try this unit cannot be sale anymore or have to reduce price, some manufacture did provide demo set but some didn't

Second the bus driver might get fine from police officers who standing nearby as no bus stop the driver cannot let the passengers out form the bus as some motorcycles might hits you too the fault surely will blame the driver.

Camping the other couple didn't think about sex but more on safety as if they get closer reason was if any robbing occour we able to look each other and not trying to 'Look each other'.

Sometimes we have to put on their shoes then we will understand the real explanation by not over stress ourself as life is short don't takes thing too seriously . In this minutes they are boarding the plane after few hours they are gone.
