CHIANG MAI: -- Mystery surrounds the death of a young Chiang Mai woman who was found in a car by the side of the road in Mae Rim clutching a syringe in her right hand.

Locals who had seen the white Toyota parked near a wooded area at Huay Nam Rin went to investigate and finding a woman seemingly asleep they knocked on the window, reported Sanook. Failing to wake her they called in the police.

A 22 year old woman later named as Wacharee from Sankamphaeng was dead in the driver's seat. There was no sign of any struggle or tell tale
marks on the body but police found a syringe in her right hand and there were prescription drugs found in the car from Suan Prung, a hospital that treats patients with psychiatric conditions.

The body was sent for autopsy at Nakorn Ping hospital and the contents of the syringe were sent for analysis.

[colinneil]

Was the car locked?

Did she have a boyfriend?

Was it her car?

Who might have put the syringe in her hand ?

Many unanswered questions.

And why does the English-language media in this country persist in calling a 22-year old woman a "girl". Would they have called a 22 year old man a "boy"?

I teach Thai university students. Many refer to themselves and others as girl/boy. At that age, they do not see themselves as being adults.

Probably for the better......

This is my experience too. I teach at the university level in Bangkok and all my female and male students, first and second year (so aged from about 17 to maybe 20) refer to themselves and their peers as "boy" and "girl"... based on how I see it being used contextually, I don't think there is anything derogatory implied by its use.

I use it too - albeit with a touch of western social mores based discomfort - but like my students, use it without any implicit derogatory or minimization context implied.

Back to the OP, I have a lot of empathy for those with clinical mental health issues/conditions (if in fact that's the case here) as I lost a really good college friend in my second year at the university to a self-inflicted fatal injury, largely because he didn't feel that mental health issues were legit diseases and was - embarrassed to reach out for help front those who offered it.

Yes - I have seen many instances of young thugs/motorbike riders/criminals being referred to as teenagers whilst having ages listed from 15-29.

And what's more, they behave like children.

Not on all points, certainly, but on behaviour. Yes.

Nancy if you read the article it uses the term woman throughout, I believe it is the TVF post heading that uses the term girl.

I do however agree with your point.

Yes it's a sexist disgrace. And why are there reference to Thai ladies ? This just demean and humiliates the wimmin of Thailand. Why can't Thai wimmin be more like British, American and Australian wimmin - even when they die tragically?

They also referred to her as a woman..

But, would they say a "22 year old boy" - ??

I don't think they do in the media?

Anyway..

When the media calls a 40 year old lady, a bargirl.. That sounds very wrong!

So, in your 20's/30's, you're a woman.. 40's, a lady.. 50 on up, old lady or granny?
