[Julie H]

English is not my first language please exuse

Two weeks ago i was at a local karoke bar (west side BKK) i was encouraged by staff to sing a song, I sing a song in average Thai language, people look at me like amazing but one table with many young Thai man look angry, i tried to make joke & say everyone happy but young man not happy because have no wife & have no sex because big group of men. They look very angry & when i go back to table stare at me a lot. I went home in taxi but after 2 hours of sleep i woke up with big noise, it is motorcycle gang at my house with 20 people all with woman on the back, my dog barking alot, my wife said i made trouble. What can i do? I afriad to call police, these kid can see me at 7/11

I'm confused.................

[kurnell]

Were you singing off key?

[inzman]

You might have chosen your words more carefully. Thai people can be offended very easy.

[Costas2008]

Ahhhh, you are a man......stop confusing me with the user name Julie........

Now, Julie, is your Thai soooooooo bad that you made these young people angry?

Are you sure there were 20 motorcycles outside your house and not 19?

Why don't you teach your dog not to bark at strangers?

Do you collect the stamps at 7/11?

No matter how good YOU think your Thai is and how you think you can do stand-up in Thai, making a joke about local louts in their own lingo in THEIR house...

I remember telling an Aggie joke at a bar in College Station and I had only been living in Texas for 12 years.

See what I am saying?

Just make sure you use that anal sphincter cleansing device you posted about earlier today.

They'll be happy; you'll be happy.

I think you might have to work on your stand-up routine mate...

[cloghead]

I hear ya NanLaew. Spent some time in CS and never had the balls to say a negative thing 'bout the school

C'mon dude, tell us the joke...

The A & M crowd were always thin-skinned & easily offended. Especially after last weekend's game

Julie, could you expand on the 'putting a stick in their bottom' thing?

give them some money and ask them to bugger off

TROLL!

[sipi]

It has been 2 weeks. They would have killed you by now if that was their intention. Don't worry about it.

[geronimo]

A solid piece of advice,

if you are a guy (or group of guys) do not enter Thai Karaoke bars (unless accompanied by Thais). I'm sure there are some safe ones but I've heard sooooo many stories of foreigners coming to grief in one. In fact, steer clear of drinking with Thai guys (unless you know them well), another nest of possible vipers!!

[AYJAYDEE]

you teased a group of young thai drinkers and questioned their ability to attract women in front of a club full of people? how did you manage to learn to speak thai without learning how crazy that is??

Well said, those dirty dingy little shitholes are best kept away from by all foreigners in Thailand. If you want to see women go somewhere where foreigners are welcomed not those little cesspits that are filled with soldiers with a chip on their shoulders, sad sack businessmen, wannabe tough but scared of the soldiers kids and a merry mix of washed up old slags and ladyboys just waiting to thieve someone or spread another STD.

I wouldn't even go with a group of Thais, they are horrible depressing places to have a drink in.

[ExPratt]

If you go into any bar in any city in the world as a stranger and start acting like a dick , you are going to get yourself in trouble. Its bar rules isn't it, I wouldn't go into a pub where I come from , where I was not a "Local" and start performing , bound to get a slap

bkkgooner:

That's some seriously impressive color commentary on the Thai karaoke bar scene.

I imagine it must have taken more than just a visit or two to soak up all that atmosphere.

I only hope you weren't ripped off or given an STD by a ladyboy too many times before you realized that 'enough was enough'.

[h90]

I recall a self important American in a low-so bar in my home country.

Luckily someone told him better to leave before he runs into troubles....

[varun]

Very foolish to antagonize a group of lower-class Thai males, even in jest.

Why go to places where they congregate? That's just begging for trouble..

[THssii]

You caused them to lose face หักหน้า, if you have thai wife you should know better what to say and what not in Thailand. But hope you get it all sorted out.

In many European countries if you acted like that at a bar, you would get beaten up immediately, not after 2 weeks.
