I give up. You win. I should have disclosed that I have never met a Thai person or spoken to one since I've been living here. And I've never driven here or seen any Thais driving. I've never seen any Thais flaunt the laws, or eat spicy food. In fact the only people I've met in Thailand have been drunk middle-aged men on Soi Cowboy looking for "brown strange." Also I can't read or "work out" what smarter and better-informed people like stephenr mean, I need it spelled out, in English. I am not equipped to understand or respond to the close reading and careful parsing of language stephenr has demonstrated. Actually I've never even been to Thailand, I made everything up. Kudos to stephenr for deducing so much from my comments and exposing me, calling me out on my delusions, and setting the record straight. |

You didn't claim to have "seen this". You claimed "everyone does it". This would be like me claiming all americans insist on cheese with every meal and get confused between Austria and Australia.

I'm commenting on your posts, and my own observations of life in Thailand. Several times you've made broad generalisations about various topics in Thailand, all of which are demonstrably false.
When I called you on said generalisation, you proceeded to make ANOTHER generalisation. How do you expect people to react to that?
