So you tolerate low class what does that make you? She will live to regret it. How do you know that?? You definitely seem confused. Hope you figure it out.... It seems some people need diagrams to understand anything. Google "old school" perhaps that will help, while you're at it look up the meaning of "tolerate". I get why you are a bit defensive, you either have plenty of tats or your gf/bf does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could tolerate a butterfly or similar on the shoulder or ankle, but that's about it. When I see some beautiful young girl with a huge tat on her legs or back I think it looks hideous, and there is no doubt that she will live to regret it. A butterfly? Wich indicate what i Thailand ? ☺️ Nobody whants a butterfly, as the bar lady run after her bf in pattaya screaming you are a butterfly, and she was still working, but that is not the same.

There isn't the same connotation to a lady with a butterfly tattoo in western countries as there might be with bar girls or the Johns that use their services.

Where I come from, it was only old sailors who had tattoos back in the days, and those who wantet to be bad boys, but normal working people did not have. Still in Thailand, you can not get work if you have tattoos you can not cover up. So I guess it is still tabu there as well, even many thais have tattoos. Who have tattoos today? High class? Middle class yes, but high class so called, no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't deny the fact that cops don't like tattooed dudes . He couldn't walk 2 blocks in many of the U.S. streets without getting harassed or stopped to be searched and questioned by cops. In other parts of the world like the middle east, he would even be beaten up for no reason by block bullies. What he went through did not surprised me. Well, it seems you keep misunderstanding. I neither have tattoos nor like tattoos. I have seen tattooed cops; so, I cannot see a fact. The same with your statements about the US and the Middle East. I believe he was Finnish and this is Thailand; so what possible difference could what would happen in the US or in the Middle East make in this situation?

They wanted to see ID, he told them it's back at his apartment - they followed him there. Since you're obviously the hero with many brain cells, what would you have done? Refused their request to search? They would have been even more intent on searching if he refused. He was in a no-win situation. There was absolutely nothing he could have done. The cops can make up a multitude of "excuses" to search, that would be considered perfectly legal in Thailand. Suspicion of drugs will do it. In addition to that, any house can be searched without a warrant if army officers are present. That's a new law courtesy of the present government. One way or another if they want to search, they will. There's nothing that can be done about it. Just try to record on video the whole search.

Just saying what ever bad effect it has it is not bringing down society. Then you have Thailand, forever clinging to old ways of thinking. I think it could grow well here and become cash /tax revenue positive and be promoted for tourists, offered for medicinal purposes and as as an alternative to alcohol what is more dangerous in every way Absolutely. And instead of giving foreign Aid to African states just buy their herb. And it could help places like Nepal and Afghanistan. Both places were great in the old days as was Thailand before the corrupt clamdown instigated by the corrupt Nixon and American DEA. Now the UN, UNICEF, the WHO are all on hateful bandwagon promoting prohibition and punitive and immoral punishments that actually corrode our societies and communities. Very sad.

That is considered art by many people. Obviously he did get picked up for his Tattoos. What else did "acting suspiciously" mean? The picked on him for the very same reason you did. 2500 for 100grams is way too cheap unless you travel to the mountains up north or something. So it was most likely a setup by the seller / police.
