KuhnPaen Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Just asking...no ill intent with the question, but--has anybody ever seen a Thai reading a (non-manga) book? Other than a student? As in just for kicks? My Thai GF's family always looked at me like I was a lazy oaf for reading whenever I got on a bus or train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About as often as see non-Thais to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Monster Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Hey world ! look at me !, I got one of them new i-phone thingies, and can use a thing called " Line " on it, so i,m really cool. Not just Thailand, but all over the world now. It was said some years back, that Television was the death of all conversation, well the i-phone has to be the death of all civilisation.

About as often as see non-Thais to be honest. Hmmm...can't say I've had the same experience--at cafes or on the BTS/MRT....and I actively look for it. There are not nearly as many book stores in BKK as compared to the West or even Japan for that matter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I think you'll see even less and less now of readers because reading in public is against the law! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluespunk Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Why would they not use their phones while on holiday?The answer is in the question(holidays) No it's not. What on earth is wrong with using your phone whilst on holiday or holidays? Should they revert to telegrams, public telephone boxes, public address systems, Tom toms, smoke signals, etc. to communicate to friends/families/acquaintances? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fab4 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Maybe a good solution would be to drop a load of smartphones in Syria, Iraq and Gaza? "I can't behead anyone at the moment, I'm checking Tinder". I'm quite proud of myself in that I had to look up to see what "Tinder" was - mind you I did use the internet to do so. For those proud people like me, this is from their website: "Tinder is how people meet. It's like real life, but better." I wonder if people using it realise just how sad that is? Anyway, having found out I feel this would be appropriate Edited September 1, 2014 by fab4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense. it may not be relevant now, but they did bust a few people for reading 1984 in the aftermath of the coup and reading in public was declared an something like an act against the state for a period of time during the early days of the Junta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
