I believe you. As you probably offered 50 baht for a quick one in the toilet I'm sure they told you to fuck off. After a few nights in your hospice/hostel and a bus journey you no doubt smelt like a walking care home. So who is calling who 'skanky?'
gee...so personal...so hurtful...have u finished pulling all the wings off butterflies...
The "buffalo me die" is from the old How-To-Scam-Farang handbook.
Now they have very few buffaloes in the villages and numerous iphones.
This is the era of rapid sharing of info and "narratives around" the sudden onset of diseases with long names like Thalasemia requiring expensive daily medication not covered by the Taksin card and so on, are shared on a mass scale.
The dried-out mamasans who inevitably return to the villages and set up as mentors and guides to wannabe bargirls/boys are robbed of that noble role now.

...and who said Thais arent innovative and clever and wiley...if only the olympics had a scam games...Thailand would win super gold all day long...
In most western countries we at least pretend to believe in the rule of law. All people are created equal and have an equal chance of succeeding through hard work and following the rules etc..Whether it is true or not..I do not know. In a country like Thailand I suspect..this is nothing more than speculation..where the rich and powerful can take what they want, a scamming mindset develops. The rule of law is weak and to get ahead a person needs to be secretive. You can not trust the system so it breeds a dishonest outlook.
I am sure many posters here will offer up criticisms but I suspect there are elements of truth to my observations.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, and they all stink.
not gonna argue with you tere...but even in 1st world countries similar rules apply...some blatantly (like why is is that in some US states blacks r locked up fpr crimes that whites only get a fine for)....in others the bias is subtle...and unless u r in the kniow it all looks fair..
But overcrowding is a real problem, that's why police have to shoot some of the blacks instead of arresting them. Or so it seems.
Yes, grandpa, I know it used to be more fun 30 years ago...
