sawadee1947 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 watching Thai soaps you will realize that every minute at least somebody is screaming, injured, beaten up, killed.... It's just they follow what they could see in TV. It's for most Thais reality. To threaten somebody is normal, to cheat is daily life, to kill sometimes necessary. But what would you expect if a country is ruled by a General, trained in killing? The military government has nothing to do with the stereotypical soap operas which I observe since 30 years. that is not correct: the govt. has all influence they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLang Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/927183-video-chonburi-governor-calls-for-immediate-action-as-man-pulls-out-gun-on-highway/ The Thai poster said: "This is our home, our country - it is like the bloody wild west. Come on you officials help us out here. Thai society is getting harder to live in by the day. Just out for a drive you face death." Increase in Thai violence and anger, or an increase in reporting? This Thai seems to think it is the former. Edited June 24, 2016 by DLang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuibeachcomber Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 like the rest of the world..thailand has their 1%..who are flashing it around to the exclusion of the 99%...up in Isaan and probably many other areas of thailand families have to get by on less than 300 baht a day,with no one to fall back on except "the family" incomes stagnate yet prices go up.More young ones on yabaa begets more violence. It's not just Thailand old fella, it's a world wide phenomenon. very true ND...thinking OZ and ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
