Thread: Insightful quote and observation from a Thai farmer

" ..now in Thailand...you think loud you wrong"

Can you decipher that?

Philosophical country Thai...

^ Lao Khao infused bullshit, in other words.

The man's a poet and he doesn't even know it.

Needs a literary agent....
Wonder if Slap's available?

"..now in Thailand...you think loud you wrong"

Did he actually mean 'Laos' and not 'loud'?

'[You are] now in Thailand... [If] you think [you are in] Laos, you [are] wrong.'

like the farmer, it is very simple.

in thailand, thinking aloud can get you into trouble.

Perhaps a reference to particular regions of Isaan, which are very Lao..??
Culture/customs, language, cuisine, tradition, etc.

^^ Agree.

Tax is a Thai country farmer?...

The truth is: the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Or in the case of most of the parish here, watch while it withers on the vine of their hubris, frazzledom and stupidity.

Re: confrontation in Thailand

Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets a broomstick shoved up their ass behind bars in a friggin' jail cell.
