I guess there are always 'odd balls' or village idiots but villagers are known to say 'they are our idiots so leave them alone'.richard wrote:True Spitfire
There are certain 'odd balls' who float about who the Thais seem to endear as they are perceived to be nuts.
There's a guy goes up and down Petcha on a bike stripped to the waist, covered in tattoos and wearing a crash helmet towing a trailer with his dog in it (walking the dog???). He seems as though he ought to really be on Venice Beach CA and the Thais laugh and giggle at him. Bet he doesn't go to Immigration like that but who knows
Not so odd balls are also accepted.
I like the Thai acceptance of those with differences but not behaving badly.
Some of you may know this Danish gentleman resident in the photo. I had met him when walking in soi 80. I asked his permission to photograph him and the two massage shop girls for photo contrast. Real nice guy but forgot his name.
