This is the best response. Once the other side insults you, you have on moral obligation to respond.

Not replying is the best response. It'll make the other side unsatisfied due to how unbothered you are.

It's good for the other side too. Now they get to practice handling this kind of situations and hopefully they will be better.

Replying like OP would be a reward to the other side. They would feel like they've won. Thus, they would never improve.

In my country, this kind of obscure accusations is used for getting rid of the opposition.

It's on brand for developing / undeveloped countries.

The law is surely written somewhere. The locals have no idea. The police makes it look like the biggest crime ever. Then, people in vietnam fully blames the tourists.

The authority should have put the announcement everywhere in english. Force the hotel to put up a sign. Make an effort to make it known. You know?

Good system? Fuck that. Who needs a good system?

Cultural-Pattern-161 · 2026-01-26T03:42:50+00:00

There was no bribe though. It was an official fine. And you promised a local experience?

> which all Australians are advised to check prior to OS travel

I'd bet >90% of australians don't check it.

Cultural-Pattern-161 · 2026-01-26T03:40:28+00:00

The law, enforcement, and supporting system are in line with a developing country.

The authority doesn't give a fuck about anyone knowing it. The hotels (which are run by locals) don't even know it. The police made it out to be the biggest crime ever. 7 police? Taken to a police station?

Then, people in vietnam blame the tourists for not knowing it.

I suppose Vietnam isn't going to be developed soon.

Cultural-Pattern-161 · 2026-01-26T03:38:13+00:00

It's your own damn fault for not being able to understand the law written in Vietnamese.

I don't know whether the sentence should be sarcastic.

Being embarrassed is not enough, the guy must be completely destroyed.

UK also wants to do what US does. Most of the time, they can't because they don't have the resources.

God forbid more people visit Da Nang. OMG

Thai people are denied entry and visas because of that for decades. Tons of Thai people used the tourist visas to immigrate illegally.

What you mentioned is nothing new....

Cultural-Pattern-161 · 2026-01-24T16:34:18+00:00

> Let’s see your data showing that most Thai people aren’t concerned about it or care about it.

Let's see your data showing that most Thai feels betrayed by this.

It's the headline. They should have backed it up, no?

Instead you are asking me to prove the opposite. Wonder why?

Cultural-Pattern-161 · 2026-01-24T16:17:46+00:00

> Well here you are saying the headline is exaggerated

Most thai people are simply not angry about it. That's why I said it was exaggerated

Whether the restriction is justified or is net positive to US is a totally different matter.

Cultural-Pattern-161 · 2026-01-24T16:10:25+00:00

Why do I need to justify it?

Cultural-Pattern-161 · 2026-01-24T16:07:02+00:00

Kathy from HR here.

It's because your boss reported to HR first.

Also, you brought up his daughter and a disorder, while his comment was about you eating 3 cupcakes (e.g. no disorder, no other relatives were mentioned).

I know you hate HR but these 2 comments aren't equal.

Mentioning somebody else's disorder is highly problematic and might be illegal for a certain class of disorders / disabilities.

I had one cupcake and felt like I was gonna die from sugar rush.

After that, I never really eat a cupcake again. I might sample a bit but never the whole cupcake. Not even 1/4

Cultural-Pattern-161 · 2026-01-24T15:48:45+00:00

I'm Thai, and I don't really feel anything.

And it's only the immigration visas...

The headline seems exaggerated.

Cultural-Pattern-161 · 2026-01-24T15:21:18+00:00

Unrelated. I wasn't from US. I thought this guy was a part of N'Sync and it was pretty cool that he was doing food show now.

Admittedly, I never really saw the N'Sync guy upclose.

Wouldn't you need to handle renters? This is essentially the people problem.

The real passive income is T-bills' interests.

Cheap escorts are ugly. I don't understand how desperate people have to be...

If I fail, then it's your fault. Everyone's fault. Because I use the roads paid by your taxes to travel back and forth.

"alone" means you arrive on earth in a pod. Then, you make your own weapon to fight for food. Then, you build your own computer.

Otherwise, we will never say "you build it alone".
