I used to live in Phra Kanong and one canal there smelled as if it was all piss and nothing else. Ha ha ha.

What would happen to a Thai who tells an Englishman in London not to pee, no matter where that happens? RIP Frenchman, you died for nothing. I couldn't have said it better myself. RIP Frenchman, you died for nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spermwhale Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 This was not something to intervene about. A local guy peeing in a drain? If you're a tourist in their country and he's not hurting anyone, who cares? Just walk away, laugh to yourself and shake your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative attitude towards foreigners - be it expats or just tourists. We are - increasingly - the dirt they walk on, and agression is lurking lust below the surface. This is of course deeply unfair towards many Thais, and I have many dear Thai friends here, but overall the trend is definetely there. Personally I have had enough. I planned spend the rest of my life here, but that is no longer the plan. Other countries actually welcome retired expats. Give us decent visas and go out of their way to make it happen. I'll keep visiting Thailand, but I'll be damned, if I want to live my life where I am so obviously unwanted and all they want is my money. Visiting other countries in the region I have come to realize, that that famous Thai smile has emigrated too...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not stupid enough to get on your high horse and start mouthing off at a drunken person taking a piss in a sewer drain.

SpeakeasyThai Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Sober or whether they are a drunk soi rat you can't tell a Thai. They are the masters of finger pointing, yet have a an elementary maturity level that cannot tolerate being put right. Another winning moment for TAT and Thai-ness.

Whether a man or a woman who wants to defend a person in great danger. It's in our education. It is not a question of condescendence, or moral lessons, it is our instinct that dictates it. Like the Lieutenant-Colonel who, during a kidnapping by a dirty Arab, who had murdered 2 French, took the place of the cashier so that she could live. He was also murdered.

cardinalblue Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 You are wrong dead wrong...he is pointing out the situation where trivial events lead to loss of life esp of foreigners... thailand has one of the highest rates of injury/death in the world of tourists.... this is not just another stabbing....majority of stabbings know each other or economic incentive like robbery or gang related.... this is random incident in a mainstream venue that seem to happen all the time.... for a country that is the 5th highest consumption of alcohol In the world not per capita but overall volume... Not it only does thailand has an alcohol problem from teenagers to older males, it has an alcohol- violence problem from murder to vehicular death to suicide.... thailand numbers in comparative country rankings are far closer to unfavorable rankings than to the average... and benign situations involving alcohol and ending in violence catch tourists and ex pats culturally by surprise... you can say South Africa Mexico and Thailand all in one sentence regarding disproportionately bad outcomes for tourists...
