Be extra careful around farang whose derriere has a permanent depression in the shape of a bar stool. That should provide comic relief or at least confirm you're just another addled farang who's learned nothing about when or how to wai. + the amazing reading/language skills of some of the readers :D obviously Usaman was the supervisor, in the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khon Kaen Dave Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 gemguy Good post.The reason why Thais,as you say,have not got the meaning of life figured out yet,is because they really dont give shit,they just dont care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikiea Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 15 hours ago, khunpa said: Most (not all, but MOST) Thais lack the ability to debate without things turning violent. They simply never learnt it in school and also get their "education" from Thai TV-Dramas, where conflicts are most often solved violently. It also does not help, that the culture says "Smile", even if someone takes you hard in the A.s... Constantly avoiding conflicts, makes people uncomfortable when they occur and for Thais it means using violence to resolve the issue. Take an uneducated Thai-man like this guy in the news story. Stupid as <deleted> and with absolutely debat-skills, but fully aware that he must not "lose face" no matter what. Inside he is basically only like an 10 year old. Push him in a corner and only thing he can do is turn violent, regardless of what the issue is about. This also goes for many Thai-women, who also keep it "primitive" when facing challenges or conflict. Every tried to have a real deep and constructive debate with a Thai-woman?... Not many of them are able to. Not even the educated ones. Personally, I love this country and also its people. But I will never get too close to anyone else than my family here. I have seen too many times, what kind of "drama" these people can make of something anyone else in the world would consider just a simple disagreement. Besides that I think Thais are great people as long as we all smile and talk about simple things, that can not result in a conflict of any kind. Meaning the best subjects are about food.. e.g. if anyone is hungry and what we had for dinner last night. Thai-Culture on the other hand, also has its benefit. E.g. I hardly never argue with my Thai-wife... Why? Well, simply because she finds it to difficult to handle and I know that she will end up killing me, if I insist on debating her :-) So conflicts are easily resolved with out much talk. I love that! it is your choice to be a man or a woose afraid of his crazy wife .thai culture has little to do with your choice of wife . and being crazy has everything .

Suradit69 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 9 hours ago, bbbbooboo said: hmmm....thailand......"the land of smiles" And once again, that refers to the numerous types & meanings of smiles, not that everyone in the country goes around in a constant state of mindless giggles. Quote 1. Yim yaw This smile can be used in two ways: Firstly, when teasing someone, and secondly when wanting to express the words “I told you so”, without actually having to be so harsh. 2. Yim cheun chom This smile is a controlled yet beautiful smile that expresses the words, “I admire you”, or, I’m proud of you”. 3. Yim mai awk This is the smile used when concealing difficult emotion. It’s the “I’m trying my best to smile but I’m struggling” smile. This might be used when someone is brokenhearted or physically hurt. 4. Yim mee lessanai This is a devious smile that masks bad intent. If you really upset your Thai partner, you should probably worry if you get this smile in return. 5. Yim chuead chuean Similar to Yim mer lessanai, but more the “Mwhahaha” bad guy smile, this would be used by a person who has gotten the upper hand over someone. 6. Yim dor dhaan This smile indicates that you disagree, but will entertain the idea or go along with the action regardless. It’s the “You can go ahead, but you know I disagree and that your idea isn’t a good one” smile. 7. Yim sao This is the standard smile of sadness, one that indicates someone really isn’t happy. 8. Yim haeng This is the dry smile, also known as the “I know I owe you the money but I don’t have it” smile. 9. Yim suu suu! This is the smile of encouragement, the “You/I can do it” smile. 10. Yim yoh-yae This smile is the Thai equivalent to suggesting that it’s not worth getting upset over something that seems pretty bad, but has happened and can’t be changed.In essence, it’s the “no point in crying over spilt milk” smile. 11. Yim thang nam daa This smile must be interpreted in context, as it can mean two different things. On one hand it can mean “I’m so happy I’m crying inside”, and on the other, given different circumstances, “I’m so sad inside, but I’m still smiling”. 12. Fuoon Yim This is the “mai jing jai” (literally translated as ‘not real heart’) smile. It’s a stiff and somewhat fake smile. For example, “I should laugh at the joke, but it’s not funny, so I’ll do this smile instead and help you move on”. 13. Yim taak thaai This is the smile of convenience, a polite smile that enables you to acknowledge someone you don’t know that well, or someone you aren’t going to get into a long conversation with. It’s pretty much the most common smile you’ll get when out and about in Thailand. http://www.thethailandlife.com/whats-behind-a-thai-smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can date Attanan sorry i might have read the story wrong i thought the guy who wanted to buy his dinner and received the 100 baht was the one who committed the murder ? i was stating that instead of getting into an argument and killing someone he did have choices and could have done things differently by getting only sticky rice then he could have given the 80 baht change to the guy who i must have read wrong was the victim , then everyone would have been satisfied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also why they never leave home Setting false standards, cutting their clothes more than their sizes. How on earth is someone earning 13k and takes a car that she pays 7k per month? My gf told me they do this and at work can't eat, eat noodles every day, park their cars and borrow her bike to run around due to no fuel. Look for men here and there to meet up with life's demands, etc. It is a sham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shatian Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thais are often too violent because they have been silence in their thinking and are conditioned to act often against their will for too long and they have a million and one things/problems in their minds/hearts that are eating them up but they can't speak them out. So with the least problem, they are forced to explode like a bomb. When one speaks their mind, they are relieved of all the burden that are in their minds. When one carries so many problems in their minds, they can only be an angry person and will always act violently when there is a small problem.
