Firstly alot of people know I gave up years ago complaining - yes I have spent several periods of time in Thailand, and have come here many times over 15 years-
I am not on trial here - so no need to post reproductions of anything - but it is a hobby of mine-
And they do get annoyed-
Thais dont like being confronted with hard truths-
I leave little tit bits about after my transaltions and print outs-
As for the percieved racist taunts on OBama the problem is culture- in our Australian Culture I have said no wrong-
Infact our prime minister found this very funny along with 93% of Australians polled yet the American guest judge gets deeply upset-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0qi5sJRywY&playnext=1&list=PL8CD182E468D88A84
By the same token in your culture (american) the gun issue is fine but to Australians its ironic that TITS offend americans but middle classes see gun laws as ok?
I like Thais in general - I am up counrty and got hot yesterday so maybe just made a few statements-
Thais though should understand - their country needs to embrace the international visitors more-
I am in a region where you are deemed alien and its fine to call you Farang in a conversation not by sir or given name-
Yesterday, I discover two wages for cow walkers were a scam as niether had full time positions-
They also had 4500 kilos more of rice and substainial more potatoes in storage not accounted for-
Many loans were repaid but not marked as repaid- 12 calfs born some over 3 months and not added to lifestock listings-
An old grandfather I supplied a small amount to monthly was dead-
Sister in chonburi - also in my small amount monthly local provisions-
Wife had the brains to immediately add some other stuff I didnt know about and pretend she was not aware of some stuff - like tractor hire profits to other farmers-
Basically I have know what is obvious that Thais cream the top off-
As for claiming some higher ground on letting it go-
Thats a personal decesion "other Men" dont make on behalf-
If I continue to leave piss in a red bull bottle in some back seat taxi in Bangkok-
Or tell Thais about their childish ways by way of note or face to face with a relation "up to me"
Home boy to Australians is only an expression we hear in American hip hop and wrap we dont take deep issues than that-
I have always though thought obama to be a smart man ( and the comment was more to do with his slogan being pinched here to a degree) I am though somewhat disappointed in not closing the Jail where the detainees are held without fair trial-
Politics is american business-
But if I am making references to military coups here and the stupidity of the current system and threats to Thais in an emerging asian Power region thats ok -
"up to me"
If I piss people off sorry (skip over thread or post easy)
Today we are off to inspect fields that are being burned (earth burning ) this is done weeks before new plowing and seeding -
First full moon in July is the new monk induction time and field blessings-
Her son has bought and sold over 200,000 kilos of cambodian rice in last year which added to profits by about 250,000 baht not bad for a 17 year old kid working week ends-
Buy and then sell back here-
For all my imputt and effort I see none of the profits other than home improvements etc
I miss no heikiens up this way and am forced to drink wifes leo beer from shop fridges- archer beer is even worse- and we all know what hot sun and changs do-
I close in making this point- Thais can be annoyed dont kid yourself -
this morning on some cable channel a mordern day version of Planet of the apes was being viewed by the step daughter and I commented to her mother (my wife) that was this a Farang and Thai movie?
She said" is Farang" and when the camera swept to the young female chimp features I said "but look same thai"?
This pissed her off no end -

I would like brothers Quack Quack discerning opinion on this piece of music
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLaH_DouejU
I hope you can hear it through-
I had it playing at the inlaws last night in a major down pour that prevented us leaving for about 30 minutes-
I bought it at an MBK store in Bangkok the composer is obviously trained in classical music and has a female singer, and russian naval Choir in the credits-
Its a strange mix-
Its good Thai Punishment thats for sure if played very loud- its a case of their cowboy jingles going to hell for a female full flight farang singer and complex music that most 12 year olds couldnt write unlike plaguized thai music-
Its modern but in keeping it exposes younger audiences to a classical side-
We are doing the markets this morning on the cambodian foot hills
The place is so beautiful and green at present-
Fishing in a brook for an hour yesterday and caught one bass looking thing - gave it to the in laws-
Temperature down today to about 24 here 10am
I have to say in keeping with thread that my wife intervened twice on my behalf on goods bought at a hardware store - ripping off farangs is indeed a national sport-
An eight year old girl in her mothers shop just tried to sell me a can of beer for 90 baht in a stooging manner-
Mother laughed and smiled and sold me it for 30 baht just 2 baht more than the thai before bought it-
: :
Massage shop open in town 180 an hour but looks straight - dam sure behind doors a gobble would be thrown in for a small extra maybe 300-
Certain weird not seeing any farangs in some days-
There are two around so I am told

Definitely not, bro EPC, you are a dumb ass ALL the time.
One thing I learned from my years working is...it takes a good man to admit his mistakes.
Too bad you haven't learned this lesson yet.

Glad you enjoyed that music -its appreciated that you think its of worth-
I love the countryside and alot of this guys music-
Water buffalo returning with weary Thai herdsmen and the red sun blood colored- laughing children - pillows of smoke from woman cooking - and a huge rainbow after the storm- total magic and elevating music-
Beats the 3 cords ac/dc stuff hands down-
My wife was reassured by the russian choir sounds I think as its all abit high brow -

... if you are believer in content analysis, there appears to be a detectable rise in concerns over Thai values... there seems to be a recent rise in the allocation in Thai print media of space a discussion about Thai cultural values... Thai socio-political commentators are now writing openly in a way I've never seen Thais write about themselves.
... several over the last few weeks I've cited in this thread... this one is particularly direct and rough on Thai inferior cultural values.
... the by-line by BKK Post op-ed writer Voranai is: "It's (Thailand is) a culture of ignorance and intolerance.

COMMENTARY
Tortured by tradition
Give our young more than we've received
Published: 24/04/2011 at 12:00 AM
Newspaper section: News
She's 12 years old. She has three older brothers. They are now 27, 18 and 15 years old. It started with the middle brother. He was the first to rape her. The oldest brother eventually found out. He didn't put a stop to it. He too raped her. One day, by chance, the youngest brother saw her being raped. So he too raped her.
It went on for three years, which means she was first raped when she was nine years old. Two weeks ago, she went to see a doctor because of a viral infection. The doctor found out the truth. The authorities were informed. The brothers were arrested. The story became news.
Last week, officials went to visit the girl at her home. She was not there. Her ''guardians'' had kicked her out of the house. This was because she told on her brothers; because she has brought shame to the family.
This latter story was published only in Thai Rath newspaper, confined to a few precious inches. The reporter happened to stumble upon the story while following Social Development and Human Security Minister Issara Somchai when he tried visiting the girl.
The reporter used the term ''guardians'', not ''parents''.
The report also said that the girl's teacher has since put her in a children's home, where she would be safer, especially since her 15-year-old brother has been released on bail.
This story surfaced when the entire Kingdom's attention was focused on three girls who danced topless in Silom during Songkran celebrations. Authorities expressed outrage, commenters plastered their consternation all over web boards and venom spewed forth from officials and well known figures.
All of this was for the three topless girls. As for the unfortunate 12-year-old, her tragedy was no longer worthy of the front page; her tears weren't worthy of the talk shows.
Sure, we cried foul when we first heard of the rapes. But perhaps the more despicable crime that few are talking about is the crime of her ''guardians''. Further within the realm of despicability is the fact that we so conveniently forgot about her, while instead obsessing over three pairs of teenage breasts.
Three years of rape _ how could the ''guardians'' not know? Three years of rape, and they put the blame on a 12-year-old girl. They kicked her out of the house.
Our society likes to throw around the words ''culture'' and ''tradition'' as if they are ping-pong balls at a Patpong go-go bar. ''They've corrupted our culture,'' they scream. ''They've shamed our tradition,'' they scold.
Not so. Songkran was corrupted the day we decided to turn it into a money-making business. It was shamed the day we thought it should become a tourist attraction. Both of which, I don't think are big deals.
Are culture and tradition always so good? This I will tell you: The blame the ''guardians'' put on the 12-year-old girl, raped for three years by her three brothers, also comes down to culture and tradition.
She shouldn't have brought shame to the family. She shouldn't have caused the loss of face. A good Thai daughter must keep skeletons in the closet - see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. Instead, she must suffer in silence under all the evil. It's called filial duty.
Ask someone who works for a women's rights group. Talk with anyone who works for a children's rights group. They will tell you the horror stories of culture and tradition.
Daughters forced into prostitution, because filial duty dictates that they obey their parents and help the family.
Daughters forced into having sex with stepfathers, because filial duty dictates that they are slaves to the provider of the household. So show your gratitude.
Daughters who become pregnant, whether by rape or consensual sex, but get kicked out of the house because they have brought shame to the family.
Study history and you will find out that if you fancy a girl, all you have to do is kidnap and rape her, and her family would be obliged to offer you their daughter's hand in marriage. This is to save face and family honour.
And don't for one second think that such beliefs and practices don't persist, or that they're not accepted by many in our society today. After all, this is a matter of culture and tradition.
In 2010, the Pavena Hongsakula Foundation reported 7,855 cases of abuse, the highest number in 11 years. That is some 22 instances of abuse per day, almost one an hour. Here is a rundown of some of the reported cases.
Of rape and molestation, there were 635 cases, the highest number in 11 years. The youngest victim was three years old and the oldest was 60. Most of the perpetrators were relatives, stepfathers being the main culprits.
Of torture and imprisonment, there were 558 cases, the highest number in 11 years. The youngest victim was three days old and the oldest was 68 years old.
Of forced prostitution, there were 172 cases, the highest number in 11 years. The youngest victim was eight years old and the oldest was 40.
Bear in mind that these are only the cases that have been reported to the Pavena Hongsakula Foundation. There are many other foundations with their own documented horror stories.
To this day, society's focus is still on the topless dancing girls.
News reports on Friday said the Metropolitan Police Bureau has ordered a clampdown on girls dancing topless in public and the distribution of video clips showing such acts. Has anyone ordered a ''clampdown'' on the ''guardians'' of the 12-year-old girl?
The cabinet has been given 457 billion baht for 75 new planes for Thai Airways. How much has been given to save our children?
The cabinet has given the army 882 million baht for 13,331 guns and 4.3 billion baht for around 100 Ukrainian armoured personnel carriers. How much has been given to save our children?
Mr Issara went to see the 12-year-old girl last week to give her 2,000 baht ''to start with''. Hopefully there will be more.
The horror stories involving children are not just limited to those who have been raped, molested, kidnapped and tortured. There are also those we see every day when we walk on the pavements or drive down the streets.
The little four year old begging on the pavement at Siam Square, while privileged children - with their BlackBerries and iPhones, in high heels and pointed shoes, covered head-to-toe in skin-whitening cream - walk by without so much as a glance.
The little eight year old selling garlands at the Asoke intersection as luxury cars zoom by - driven by people who just ignore her existence, or simply shoo her away if they are stopped at the light. Heaven forbid that dirty little prai taint their shiny paint job.
We are a society that is well-practised at pointing the finger and condemning when the supposed ''crime'' is no more than just being different, no more than simply having a different set of personal values. It's a culture of ignorance and intolerance.
Add to that our apathy, our refusal to acknowledge the real evils in society, for fear of losing face, of tainting our image, and we have a tradition that is hell-bent on denying that most basic trait of any society: evolution.
I couldn't find out how much of the country's resources are being devoted to helping our unfortunate children, but why leave it to the government to help? Each and every one of us can do our part. There are agencies that help children who are victims of abuse, providing them with shelter, care and education. We all can find out how we can lend a hand at the Public Welfare Department (02-246-8652, 02-247-9485) or at the Children's Foundation (02-539-4041, 02-538-6227).
Give our children better than we've received.
Make humanity a part of our culture and tradition.
