That said I dont really drink for all intents and purposes and it seems thats a huge catalyst for honkies getting in over their heads there.
I have all the respect in the world for murphy but it's very very hard to get in trouble in Thailand. I mean, there are dicks who are SO out of line, I have considered jumping in with absolutely no possible connection to any party. Just a desire to make someone bleed which is very rare for me so you can imagine the kinds of cunts - they don't even get in trouble though, cops will come, let them off with a warning (they're not 'affluent' enough to bribe away misunderstandings, the Thais are just obsessed with not causing trouble).
If Thailand turned away just a few thousand of the lowest of the Lowest of the LOW, it would be a wise move. But nup. Everyone is welcome. You pretty much have to lose your fucking mind and kill someone or something. Thais are all about live and let live.
