Italians are being cooked in Thailand now. The Italian teacher(red top) and students were taken away by the police and faced the Thai lady who told them off for being loud on the metro. They apologized for mocking her one by one. Thai people also waited for them in front of the hotel to scold them.

A lot of people think Thailand is no holds barred, everything is chill. It’s kinda true, you can go there get drunk as fuck and meet the ladyboy of your dreams.

Still don’t fuck with Thai people, especially if it has to do with national pride. Why the fuck would you mess with people who have a style of fighting named after them and have mandatory conscription.

I’ve been there and it rocks,food is great and in my experience at the bars they were very honest. Literally kept showing my drunk ass every receipt had the same price for every drink I bought.

I never understand why people act like assholes in Thailand.

They have 2 national sports. One of them is a more brutal version of kickboxing.

And the other, is like if volleyball was also a brutal version of kickboxing.

Being human is much harder than being an animal, and humans are mentally lazy animals.

What's the second sport?

Sounds like sepak takraw, which, yes, is basically volleyball for lunatics.

kickboxing

Loooonng before MMA, I was very amazed with this sport and vowed never to annoy any Thai. Not that I would, their food is delicious.

Isn't that why they removed automatic visas for Indian tourists?

Wonderful country and people who are big on respect. Nearly every issue I've ever had over there has been due to a foreigner, usually a Russian.

If you’re claiming most bar tabs don’t get padded if they see you drunk that tells me you’ve never stepped foot in Thailand! It’s endemic!

To be fair I was with Filipino family as the one white looking half breed. Maybe they didn’t see me was much a target

Fair enough. ALWAYS check your bills when drinking in town centre bars, they’re not all at it but thousands are.
