The real humanism, probably, starts at the moment you feel other person’s pain and suffering as much as your own. Without it - you are in a computer game shooting everybody at the slightest hint of danger. Yes, this indeed was a gamble. Will this unarmed man kill me (probability = much much less than 100%) or should I shoot and kill him with the chances of killing 200% ? We all know what choice this bloody “kid” made. No wonder he was unable to simulate anything similar to the human kind of crying at the court.

If I shot at close range all those who have ever ran in my direction, all those who ever wanted to fight me, all those who ever raised their hand at me - I would have been on the list of serial killers for a long time already. You don’t shot people to death at the slightest sign of danger. It is not normal!

Thailand’s nightlife venues to reopen on Jan 16, subject to assessment

The current restrictions , as we can see, have nothing to do with Covid. In Bangkok and Phuket the entertainment venues are fully open but not Pattaya. At the same time, they keep organizing the mass gathering events for the Thai people here. The process of transforming Pattaya into the Thai middle class resort is on. Pattaya nightlife (the way we knew it until now) is a thing of the past.

Pattaya is way too attractive for the newborn and ever increasing Thai middle class from Bangkok, a huge megapolis. Before Covid, the weekend and holiday influx of Bangkokers, together with the Chinese tour buses, made Pattaya traffic system seriously overloaded. And this tendency was on the rise from year to year. Bangkokers got more and more interest in Pattaya. Looks like this is the time for the Thais to claim Pattaya back for themselves, although it was initially created and built for the foreigners and with their money. The Thai people got richer in the recent decade and they need more space for fun and leisure. Pattaya is the best candidate, situated just 90 minutes away from the capital. The Pattaya’s nightlife was never something of interest for the Bangkok visitors. Moreover, it was a source of the shame feelings and an embarrassment for this kind of public (quite hypocritical, as everything Thai). Probably, the current crisis is being used as the opportunity to transform the sex capital of the world into a slightly less boring version of Hua Hin with the main target groups of visitors being Thai middle class families and notorious organized hordes from China. The most recent decision not to reopen Pattaya’s nightlife venues (while reopening it in Bangkok and Phuket) clearly hints on the governments intentions of transforming Pattaya into something new and different. The 50 year old history of Pattaya as we knew it has come to an end. Anybody thinking of current crisis in Pattaya as an opportunity for investing in the future nightlife’s recovery may easily lose all their investments with this global change of the city’s positioning.

Phuket has no any restrictions. It seems like the generals are only determined to destroy Pattaya’s nightlife. -

Yes, it indeed looks like the generals have some special plans for Pattaya. -

A deadly blow to Pattaya -
Bars, pubs and nightclubs in Thailand could remain closed until 2022

Pattaya is doomed -
“…while the number of foreign tourists is expected to slowly recover”. Whoever talks about any (even slow) recovery in the tourism sector is definitely bluffing.

Thailand steps up efforts to attract more expats

With all their negatives (not too many, actually), don’t think I would like to stay in this country without its Isaan people. They are, probably, less educated but they are also childish, naive and fun-loving personalities who cannot properly plan their future. Which makes it impossible not to feel sympathy for them.

You will come back, sooner or later. There is no other place on Earth like this. Learn to accept its negatives as a part of its uniqueness. Other places may be 100 times better on the paper, but in reality…. there is no other place like this one. Magic in the air.

Don’t you know Thai people can only get Covid from foreigners, never from one of their own?

I think you should read him again. Why does he claim that the spike will come from the Thais who serve foreigners? Specifically - foreigners! Why not from any other group of Thais? What this doctor actually says - the foreigners are the source of infection, but the ones who will spread it and cause the spike in the “clean” population are the Thais who work with foreigners. A typical Thai way of thinking: a-priori clean Thais VS a-priori dirty non-Thais.
