News Forum - Foreign transwoman and man clash in rose row on Bangla Road
And quickly. Trans people have mental issues as we all know (and most accept) and they are very easily offended and often resort to violent threats and sometimes violent acts. Undoubtedly the Tourist said something that the Tranny found offensive, but the Tranny should have just walked away. Your 'right' to not be offended stops when you are touting for people to buy your stuff - there will always be someone that makes a smartar** comment - goes with the gig. -

News Forum - PM Paetongtarn asks Thais to don elephant pants for Songkran
Obtuse change of direction I know - but it has always fascinated me how Thai (and Asia in general) social norms has created a society of very silly and corrupt people. Things like this obvious stupidity and ignorance are IMO caused by generations of 'lack of feedback'. Where I/we come from, if you do anything like this, you are immediately ridiculed, and that 'feedback' tells you that what you are doing is silly and/or wrong. Also, others seeing and hearing this 'feedback' are also 'educated' about what is silly and/or wrong. However, everything Thais do in public from driving practices to wearing ridiculous outfits, has no 'feedback', because of the 'loss of face' social norm that stops anyone giving 'feedback' and thus making someone 'lose face'. Therefore, those doing ignorant, silly and stupid things are not 'corrected'. Likewise, this social norm is upheld by the legal system, such that publicly criticising someone, even if what said is true, is illegal - and thus the corrupt get away with their very common and widespread practices.
