what was the original title? just curious.

i find it odd that all these supposedly open minded, culturally sensitive people can't give a poor farang a break for soberly voicing his or her opinion that songkran is an annoyance. it's almost as if they have something to prove - some kind of holier than thou (or more tolerant than thou) mentality.

one could make the exact same argument about thaivisa as about thailand - hey, thaivisa is full of people who like to complain one in a while (surely more than once a year for a week). if you're not tolerant of that they you should get the hell out of the thai visa forum! don't be bringing your foreign sensibilities here!

certainly thai visa has been criticized for being full of whiners and bitchers and moaners. but that's a part of its "culture". if you don't like it, then go back to your own forum where you came from!!! you imperialist swine!

in other words, stop picking fights. learn to enjoy the heated discussions without making this personal, passing judgement or blowing things out of proportion. the ancient art of Argue-Jitsu.

imagine what kind of arguments the Rio de Janeiro expats get into once a year.

i'm no fan of songkran, but it could be worse. we're not the only group of cold blooded imperialists who wish we could have our cake and strictly administer its aspects too.

at least it severely curtails the witch population for a week.

what an udder boob she is not to give a hoot. keep us abreast of this sensitive matter.
