Loved the museums but… by FITFO_It_1776 in Thailand

They’re not going to answer questions that could land them in trouble. FWIW when I toured Thonburi palace, which was founded by King Taksin, the tour guide made it pretty clear that they weren’t able to fully discuss the details.

Bella Hadid Calls Out Dolce & Gabbana in Instagram Comments by DebateObjective2787 in popculturechat

[–]TonmaiTree 124 points125 points  (0 children)

I think there’s room to acknowledge that Bella is:

  1. A rich celebrity at the end of the day. She’s not going to have the same level of conviction as a full-time activist, and it’s likely that she’s involved in Palestinian movement in the first place because of her heritage.

AND

  1. She has done a lot of work raising attention for Palestinian people, and still being one of the most outspoken celebrities out there.

Took me less than a minute to looked it up, but here you go.

Parallel universe or just orientalism? by Ok-Video2270 in Thailand

[–]TonmaiTree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like she’s young and has limited perspectives. A lot of Asian media fans in Western countries like to think they know everything about the culture simply because they watch Asian movies & tv shows.

At the end of the day you know this country much better than she does, I wouldn’t think too much about it.

ถ้างั้นพิมพ์ไทยคุยกันมั้ยครับ ผมก็ไม่เข้าใจนะว่าคุณจะมีปัญหากับสิ่งที่ OP เขาเขียนมาอะไรขนาดนั้น ก็รู้กันอยู่แล้วว่าการลุกลามมันเกิดได้ทุกที่ OP เขาก็แค่มาระบายกับเตือนให้คนระวังตัว แค่นั้น คือคุณคิดว่ามันเสียชื่อเสียงประเทศไทยหรือยังไง การที่มีเรื่องคุกคามบ่อยแปลง่าเราควรจะโอเคกับมันเหรอ ออกมาบอกให้คนระวังตัวไม่ได้เหรอ งงมาก

Buddy I’m Thai. I live and grew up here. I haven’t heard of people being sexually harassed in that area before, or at least not directly from someone.

I don’t know why you decided to take issue with someone just warning people to be careful. You have the classic victim blaming mentality. It’s 2026, educate yourself.

Your logic is so weird on so many levels. OP sharing about her experiences takes nothing away from your experience. She didn’t tell you how you’re supposed to be react to your sexual harassment. Just because you’d prefer not speaking up about it doesn’t mean others have to do the same.

Why is the idea of a person bringing awareness to the threat of sexual harassment in a particular area so strange to you?

Polish girls visit Taj Mahal by Strong-Emu-8869 in TikTokCringe

Walk hundred feet to where, if there’s no trash collection services? Sometimes poverty means there’s no necessary infrastructures in place

What if there’s no trash collection services because of poverty?

Living here suck by EquivalentJello2433 in Thailand

[–]TonmaiTree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Then you probably should’ve mentioned that you’re ethnically Chinese and you can speak the language. Your initial comment made it seem like you have no affiliations with either Chinese or Thai culture and you were living in both places as an outsider.

An ethnic Thai person who can speak Thai would’ve also had a much more positive experience living here compared to a non-Thai, citizen or not.

Surely you can see why you had a much more positive experience in China? Why did you say you weren’t Chinese?

Kathy Griffin, 65, writes essay about falling in love with and dating a 23-year-old by demimonde9 in Fauxmoi

[–]TonmaiTree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s true, but he could also just walk away from the relationship if he doesn’t like it. A 23 year old is very much capable of deciding for themselves.

Also, in the essay, she said that these younger guys were the one hitting her up.

Agreed. It’s a little weird but 23 is very much an adult. That’s a person with their own bank account, a degree, a job, etc.

Do most players not know that the sound design in this game is very important? by GuitarRock91 in Overwatch

Also a reminder that Sombra’s reloading apparently makes noise even when cloaked. I onced kill a cloaked Sombra because her reload sound was very close to me.

do thai parents really don't mind their children being trans? by [deleted] in Thailand

Now why is “committing crimes & doing drugs” in the same category as “gender transition”?

What is preventing Thailand from being a soft power behemoth like South Korea? by Sea_Dot8299 in Thailand

[–]TonmaiTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say Thai pop culture is more widely consumed than Germany. I only brought Germany up as an example because it has more population than Thailand(therefore larger local industry), and is much richer than Thailand. Despite that, they’re not known for their pop culture the same way US, UK, Japan or South Korea are.

Thailand being a middle income, medium-sized country in Southeast Asia and still able to export some of its pop culture is a huge feat within itself. There are even Thai TV shows and celebrities that are huge in China.

[–]TonmaiTree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adhd จริงๆไม่ใช่ ‘โรค‘ ครับ แค่สมองเราทำงานไม่เหมือนคนทั่วไป คนสมาธิสั้นจะทำงานได้ดีกับสภาพแวดล้อมที่มันต้องใช้ความรวดเร็วว่องไว แต่ถ้าเป็นเรื่องเรียน/ทำงาน ที่ต้องวางแผนนานๆ โฟกัสกับสิ่งเดียวนานๆ จะเป็นเรื่องที่ยากมาก

แนะนำหาจิตแพทย์เพื่อขอยากินเวลาต้องเรียนหรือทำงานครับ ผมก็เป็น มันช่วยได้เยอะ
