Do I try to change the way Thai's do things, no, I would like to try but I wont. Do I pay my bills, yes, do I upset Thai people, not often. This thread is about a smartarse that would'nt pay and got wacked, Thai's do that to Thai's as well, he took a risk that I would'nt, the same happens all over the world if you carry on like that.
If my family and myself felt threatened I would go straight to the airport and leave, I came to this country because I wanted to, nobody forced me to come, if you dont have the street smarts and want to rip locals off expect a problem, it is entirely 'up to you when visiting this country how you behave and how you survive'.
Well said!
