Do you have any idea how ridiculous (and bigoted) you sound? How about if Thais saw you hanging around on Sukhumvit and assumed you're a white pervert looking for little kids to molest? oh dear oh dear, you just keep digging holes for yourself. do you have any idea how stupid you sound? when did I say all black people in the area were dealers? the ones who approached me saying they have coke for sale probably are tho, yeah? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losworld Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I would venture to guess Bkok's population is much larger than than the 8 million figure and maybe closer to 12 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast1 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 > Bangkok is a super huge city and this type of behaviour exists in super huge cities all over the world, not unique to Bangkok. No it does not If these fine gentlemen tried this in Poland, Korea or Japan, they would not last 5 minutes. They'd be rounded up, imprisoned, then thrown out. I have seen this myself, first hand.

It's incredible what you may learn. If you can't garner a little information from that lot, then what can you do? When Im in a neighborhood regularly, I do the same. Amazing what you find out.

Interesting. You're quick to label others as racist, but here you are saying that Thais cannot properly design a city. Sounds like it doesn't meet up to your expectations, so you think making negative comments is appropriate. Please share your prejudiced opinions about why Thais are such poor designers.

Used to leave the apartment at midnight, head down to lower Suk, sit at an alcocart, talk to random strangers, down a couple of beers, and head back home. Those were the days. Still plenty of them around particularly in the side sois off lower Suk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even those with a basic ability in the vernacular, coupled with a little cultural understanding can find themselves earning the trust, dare I say it, even the respect of all manner of people in Thailand. As stated, being a long-term 'regular' in that area, I am a 'familiar face', on good terms with a lot of people in Lower Suk, from one or two members of the police, local moto boys, bar owners, stall holders, from time to time I'll stop and 'shoot the breeze' with them. It's incredible what you may learn. If you can't garner a little information from that lot, then what can you do? I advise you to try it instead of making wild swats at the better connected and clearly far, far more knowledgeable from behind your keyboard. So you are claiming to possess some 'knowledge' of what a certain policeman may or may not discuss with a 'farang'? Can you tell me exactly where all the drug dealers hang out? I regularly walk from Nana to Cowboy via the beergarden in soi 7 and Thermae at all hours of the night and the only dark skinned people I ever see of any concern are Indians trying to sell watches around the Asoke intersection. I find the pimping part very hard to believe. Often see a smattering of African ladies but not in large quantities, usually only two or three together. Don't recall ever being offered drugs. I always walk on the odd numbered soi side of Suk unless going to soi 6 or 8, which I don't do very often as it is quicker to walk down soi 4 and cut across to soi 6 that way. I should add I've never been pee tested or had any interactions with the police at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
