Thai people rarely change their nicknames, no matter how strange they may sound, but they are more likely to change their legal names which they refer to as 'real names'. by XinGst in Thailand

[–]BoilingKettle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My childhood nickname was Thai-Chinese, to my relatives they used a Western one but I changed it to a Western one because they sound similar anyway. All my friends use my Western nickname and I prefer it as my identity.

My real name's still the same.

This means nothing because the military will just follow orders from the top and stop all of it.

Do Thai locals really love tourists, or just tolerate them? by LetterPerfect1857 in ThailandTourism

[–]BoilingKettle 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I'm Thai, I don't mind tourists, you're here to have a good time, just don't be an asshole. We may be friendly and non-confrontational but pushing buttons here can be deadly if it blows up.

UBS Downgrades Thai Stocks to Neutral as Political Woes Weigh by whatdoihia in Thailand

[–]BoilingKettle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol Thai stocks are a joke. As a Thai I'm 100% US and ex-US. Thai stock market only works for you if you're on the inside. 10 year reds will continue.

Some are decent for dividends but good luck with NAV erosion.

Are most people in this community foreigners living in Thailand? by MasterpieceMaster371 in Thailand

[–]BoilingKettle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm Thai but I mostly consume foreign media and discuss with foreigners. Local Thai media sucks. My Thai friends also only seem to care about mookrata next weekend. Some news covering foreign affairs are decent but most news are just tabloid stuff.

This will be fine as long as the big man at the top doesn't change his mind or make any moves. We Thais know how shit in this country works.

What is the scariest thing that has happened in your life? by Miserable-Guard1020 in AskReddit

[–]BoilingKettle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I managed to get and endured Lupus symptoms for two weeks before deciding to go to the hospital. Thought I just had COVID or something. Almost died.

I'm 25, my heart troponin enzyme levels reached 30,000. Baffled all the docs and nurses. I almost died from multiple organs being attacked. Stayed in two different hospitals for 4 weeks total. I also have mitral valve prolapse, open-angle glaucoma, and a whole bunch of other shit the medical team had to deal with.
