@ask_aubry It was a joke? A racist comment, not the first by the way, that they thought was ‘funny’. Ok, so it was a racist joke at their daughter-in-law’s expense. What a horrible thing to do. Family is everything for Thai people. She will be mortified that they think like that about her.
Bangkok people. I usually stay around the Sukhumvit area; Ekkamai, Thong Lo, On Nut etc but am looking at other areas now seeing as public transport has spread further afield. Thinking of areas like Thonburi (Khlong San) China Town etc. what are your thoughts? Other areas?
How we respond to such people is up to us.
The one mistake we should not make is to consider their persistent and rigid refusal to admit they’re wrong as a sign of strength or conviction, because it is the absolute opposite: psychological weakness and fragility.
@AJT2010@pureguava10300 The dialects of the Isaan part of Thailand are essentially dialects of Southern Lao (Vientiane). Politically sensitive to refer to them as such sometimes but it’s referred to by the people who speak it as ลาวอีสาน and not ไทยอีสาน
@ask_aubry To have to force your fiancée to behave like a grown up isn’t the best foundation for a future life together. His mother has mental health issues, which is difficult to deal with but she’s damaged him as well. He’s not ready to have a relationship, never mind get married.
@ask_aubry He can cry while mummy strokes his hair and whispers ‘she was never good enough for mummy’s little soldier’. After the divorce and the assault charges, of course.
