Nutters. 
 

As an aside, this article was probably taken from the Bangkok Post? They always, always never miss a chance of pointing out that Hua Hin is in the Southern Province of Prachuap Kiri Khan. Yes, we know where Hua Hin is. It’s another of my pet hates. It’s almost as though they enjoy saying Prachuap Kiri Khan. It is quiet catchy though. Try it ..

Over what? Less than 100 bt? Ridiculous. 

This is the problem with Thais who get upset. They know no limits. They don’t make any form of calculation relating to the impact of their actions. It’s act now and think later. Feel sorry for the person who got shot, but not the Ass hole who shot them

Having two girls fighting over a foreigner would be headline news in major news rooms worldwide, two old male motorcycle taxi drivers just doesn't quite cut it.

Pnut cannot get a break for Thai tourism.

A major problem in this county is Face??

Thailand needs to do an advertising campaign to change this crazy ritual of embarrassment!

Admit when you are wrong!

own up to your mistakes!

Say sorry and move on !

If you believe  are right , then be a good Buddhist and pray for them and move on!

Killing people over a Taxi fare?

Wrecking your life for $3

what is it with this stupid feeling of saving face!

Do you feel better for it?

Or you would rather kill somebody for a 5 minute good feeling that you won?

This saving face must be dealt with!

Get over it!

Back down and make agreements or compromise!

Killing a fellow human being for saving face?

Thais really need to address this crazy issue!

So how many weeks have you been in Thailand? /s

You are applying Western solutions to Thai problems. That is the road to frustration and will get you as far as the dead motorcycle taxi rider. I learnt to sit on the fence, out of harms way, and not concern myself with things that I cannot possibly change. Thais won’t listen to foreigners so why stress yourself. Enjoy the show.

This is what I need to keep reminding myself when I move there in a couple weeks.
