Hi,

Being new to this forum, I just wanted to gauge the opinions of some of you concerning what I see as a real problem.

This evening, while walking home at about 10 PM, I noticed some Farang with beer in hand, weaving his way along the pavement (please note I call the sidewalk the pavement in deference to the guys from Scotland here).

I felt quite uncomfortable watching his weaving, and so I walked more slowly so as not to overtake him, and possibly risk being accosted by him in a negative way.

He seemed quite out of it.

Now, in a western country, I would imagine, the cops would put cuffs on a Farang like this, and allow him to sleep peacefully for the rest of the night in the drunk tank.

But here? I guess such Farang think that they can behave in this manner, and it's no skin off their nose, even though it reflects so negatively on the rest of us "good" Farang.

So then, my question to you is what can be done to rid this land of these problematic Farang.

Most Thai people never seem to behave this way....And I do know, having spent quite a few years here.

This, here, is a rather upscale neighborhood. I am not talking about drunks weaving in Pattaya, which is complete expected and to be overlooked.

Here, though, this kind of drunkenness is totally unwelcome by the local people, including ME.

Again, I ask you....

What can be done to rid Thailand of these types of Farang.

Thank you and regards,
Histone H3.

Note: If you, yourself, might be one of these drunkards, then I still bear you no ill will. Just don't let me see you, too often, or you will ruin my days.
