Thailand is the land of smiles. Thailand is also the land of repressed emotion, a darker side of this culture you won't see on the news a lot. A darker side that surfaces more in the south, according to Thai people. They're hotheads you see. Thought of as being the most inferior of the Thai people. My two cents: this dark side has more to do with everybody getting more and more out of touch with the old cultural values that held everybody together.
Where were we? Ah yes: repressed emotion Mr. Spock. Which brings us to our story. This scary story. And I must be becoming a bit too Thai. Because some dark part of me actually understands the reaction.
In my neighbourhood there's at least one of these extremely loud karaoke parties for the drunk and the tone deaf every week. Right under your bedroom window if you're unlucky. With John Denver. And they won't turn it down. Asking them is useless. And it will go on. And on. And on. And it will roughly sound like this: Thay-me hoooooo cuntly looooooooow to a plaaaay wheh I belooooooh!
See what I mean?
