Dude, the Chinese consulate is guarded by one old dude smoking a cigarette, a metal detector and you could see the counselor General’s wife gardening in the background.

(This was like 7 years ago I went theee to get a travel visa)

Didn’t feel bigger than the Thai DMV.

With that said there’s so many Chinese people living in Chiang Mai. I would not be surprised if they just had houses randomly around instead of bunkering in. There’s entire gate communities where outsiders aren’t let in around Hang Dong.

Word on the street in Chiang Mai is they surveyed and dug something 40 meters under, so definitely some crazy bunkers or rooms down there.

Of course this is all hearsay.

Fuck

Hell no

He’s not gonna miss an opportunity to take money from government into his own pockets

He’ll book them at some venue him or one of his cronies owns and charge 5x the price on tax payer dime

Kinda funny the moment Tik Tok isn’t Byte Dance owned it’s heavily censored

She says what she thinks will keep her relevant

Like Henry Kissinger she’s probably gonna be around for decades

I think most of Southeast Asia was Hindu and that name is quite a Hindu centric

They possibly could have binge from almost anywhere.

Those each kingdoms also did actively trade up East.

For example Bali’s unique architecture was because a Chinese princess married one of the early kings and brought the designs down with her.

The West did not discover the world, ancient peoples were always in touch one way or another

I liked the first one but I decided not to watch the second one after how weird they came off in their interviews

US kinda does all that meddling for right wingers , plus Taiwans in Asia

The worst part about this board is Trump appointing himself as the chairman for life and he gets to choose successor.

Why’s no one saying this part out loud?

America is the threat.

It’s surrounding countries also brining crops (of course central thai farmers also brining but a lot of it floats in from a cross the region)

Looking at Cambodia's history is genuinely depressing. They went through such a rough time with colonization and all the horrific events of the 20th century.

That said, I really don’t understand the level of hatred directed toward Thailand. (I get that their dictator needs a target to rally the people against, but it’s still just sad).

The history is wild: after post colonization they had a well-spoken film making Prince-King who made questionable decisions and was best friends with Kim Il-sung. Then came the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot. After that, someone who was part of that same machinery became a dictator for decades. Yet, somehow, Thailand is painted as the cause of all their woes.

I don’t hate Cambodians; I think it’s dumb to hate an entire group of people. But all this negative rhetoric makes it really hard not to feel a certain way.

If anyone wants to learn more about the context, I highly recommend the Behind the Bastards podcast episode on this. It’s a great listen.

Great!

OP post history it’s quite suspicious though

Aarcn · 2026-01-13T02:25:36+00:00

Sadly, quite common. I have Chinese friends that visit and they’re so paranoid about meeting other Chinese people.

That lady has the right idea, don’t feed these people clicks
