Better than adult Indian and black people knocking on our doors,while wearing no Halloween costume and asking for candy.

An Arab family ( A man, woman and a small boy ) will come and distract you and your family by saying about your country and telling you that they will be visiting your country very soon . All three of them will keep your companion or your family busy by asking various questions in short bursts , so that you are confused. Usually the male will tackle the male and the female will tackle the female. Then he will ask to show your countries currency and the moment you show them , they flash you and they disappear. I lost 8000 bhats and when I went to police next day, they made me to go from one police station to the other and finally my complaint was registered and I was told that I was the third one to be duped on that day in Chatuchak by the Arab gang.

happened with me. I was in Siam paragon mall, a father and son came to me and told me to take their photo. After photo they said they are from Brunei and asked us they want to visit my country India. And started the conversation and later it shifted to money and the father said he collects money and wanted to see my country currency and in few seconds with distraction From his son and him lost 3000 bhats. I only realised after they left when O counted the money.

Someone snatches money out of my hand and I'm in hot pursuit and if I catch someone, I don't care if they're 9 years old or a pregnant female, somebody is getting bruises.

I'm not sure,perhaps the boy and woman sneak away before the man does the snatch and run. I've been to Chatuchak many times,and it's very crowded there and has heavy traffic,so I think it's possible the arab guy could lose the pursuer in a crowd of people,or behind lots of moving cars. The 2nd example about distracting you and not giving your money back to you, in the Philippines,there's another version of this scam,which involves using a pretty Filipina lady to make conversation with a western tourist,and while he's distracted,somebody will steal his luggage or bags. Arabs often try to talk to me when I am in Thailand,I show them a lot of contempt...

I can get losing bags while a hottie distracts you but if I hand money to a guy my eyes are NOT leaving that money. My HANDS are not leaving that money. Shit, I would NEVER hand money to a stranger that I am not buying things from! Maybe because I grew up here, in the American south, with duplicitous urbanites everywhere always trying to scam whitey, but I trust NOBODY with cash. I wouldn't show a nickle to someone who "collects money and just wants to see it." Fuck you, you wanna see a nickle? I'll sell it to you for 10 cents.

Thailand has it's fare share of scams,many of which are very devious and can trick an intelligent person(such as the Jet Ski scam and bird food scam).But it should be obvious that handing your money to a complete stranger(especially an Arab)is a bad idea. Arab scammers don't even create clever scams,they will ask for money to escape Syria or to pay the Saudi Arabian government because they 'got caught making a porn movie and will be imprisoned if they don't pay a fine '. But they don't think that people will wonder how that particular person can afford video games and high speed internet in Syria,or how did the Saudi Arabian government just happen to find the porn movie they were in online.
Americans tend to have a better survivalist instinct than people in other western countries. Many Americans won't open the door to a stranger at night,and are aware of the trick of when a woman in underwear bangs and screams at your front door at night,and says men are chasing her,and if you open the door to her,armed robbers are ready to enter your place of residence. I saw an American survivalist expert on Youtube saying if somebody knocks on your door at night and asks for directions,you can tell them where they are while keeping the door closed,if they want you to point it out on a map,refuse,if they ask to use a phone,tell them you will call the police and the police can make the phone call for them.
I saw on forums when British and Australian people made fun of Americans for going to 'extremes' when it comes to protection,but my father lives in Australia and 3 different houses he's lived in have been burgled,and so have other houses in the street he lives in,so those Australians and Brits are kidding themselves if they think they can't get robbed at night.

You can tell me I’m going to extremes to protect myself, my family and my property. I’ll just call you gullible.

Trump doesn't like to interfere in other country's business,unlike the Obama administration. Filipino president Duterte called Obama a 'son of a whore',because Obama tried to tell Duterte how to run the Philippines. John Kerry lectured the Thai Junta,and wanted them to step aside and let the red shirts and yellow shirts fight for control(in other words,have a civil war).The blonde haired lady with the glasses(I don't know her name),who was part of Obama's team told Thailand to let the 15000 Rohingyas enter Thailand.At least Trump doesn't interfere with Thailand. Hillary threatened China and Russia. Trump tries to get along with both of them.

Hillary threatened China and Russia. Trump tries to get along with both of them. Oh, Sarandon is anything but a Trump supporter. In the past she's riled conservatives by standing against the US militarily interfering in other countries but now the liberals hate her because of pretty much the same reason; she refused to support Hillary because Hillary would have dragged us into a war. She stood by her principles and supported Bernie until he licked Hillary's boots and then voted for Jill Stein. They hate her now because she used a "protest" vote to stand up for what she believed was right instead of settling for the lesser of two evils but her reasoning was the same as mine: NY, where she voted, was gonna vote for Hillary ANYWAY. Just like TN was gonna vote Trump ANYWAY... our votes didn't matter so why compromise principles? I didn't. She didn't. I respect that.

In reference to Cultural Relativism (the idea that all Cultures are equally valued, no matter what fucked up shit they believe) Meet the Masai "an ethnic group that can be found in Kenya and Tanzania. For them, insulting people and even straight-up spitting on their children is the very epitome of courtesy. When a Masai sees a child he has never encountered before, he will immediately spit on the kid and state: "This child is bad." Obviously, that's what we all do -- but the Masai don't even look around for cops first. There are various welcome ceremonies involving elderly men spitting on small children after being greeted by them. There's actually a completely benevolent reason behind these misanthropic antics. It is believed that explicitly praising the baby will cause it to fall ill, so they think, "This child is good," to themselves, while outwardly cursing it. As for spitting, it's seen as a sign of goodwill and best wishes: old men spit in their palms before shaking hands with younger soldiers in order to convey their blessings. And if we ever meet the drunken, curmudgeonly Masai who first came up with that brilliant cover story after assaulting a playground and some soldiers, we're going to shake his hand. Or maybe a polite nod will do the trick."
