Because every time a superpower invades South East Asia, Thailand is the first to spread its ass cheeks and let the rest of us get fucked

When the general breifings come with an EO (Sexual Harrament) violation waver, it's a damn good time!

Ah, yes, they were the only ones to effectively avoid western control for a good long while.

uh oh

The two most recent examples are the Communist Incursion and the invasion of the Japanese.

I don't doubt if the US or China decide to go Imperial Nippon Number One, they'll be the first to do it again.

We forgave Japan.

We cast a wary eye to Thailand.

Well not the pedos

They love Thailand

Don't forget the Pedo Trap hunters

Yeah, you'd think they'd put a stop to that, but apparently it's part of their branding now.

Oh you haven't seen the posters in the red light?

Having not been to Thailand, no.

I visited Thailand's "night district" once.

The Libertarians must be happy, at least.

My brother was cornered by trans peeps.

And yeah, they're not wrong when they say most of the patrons are middle-aged Caucasians.

Was he afraid?

No, but my uncle pulled him out of it.

He was 16 at the time.

Did your uncle take him to be cleansed afterwards?

No, we all teased him about it. My brother was miffed.

You'd think a Buddhist nation wouldn't allow such things, but I guess Thailand is a nation of very poor Buddhists.

I don't know what Thailand's deal with escorts is tbh

Is it a Buddhist nation?

I thought they went total "worship the king" mode

More Buddhist than Malaysia or Indonesia is Muslim.

My dad told me they view their King as an actual Avatar of Holiness.

If I understand right Thailand's deal with escorts is Money coming in

"We'd stop it, but...it's a lot of money."

The reverence to their monarchy was modified and downplayed over a century ago, but I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of it stayed into the modern era.

I was grabbed by the collar by a restauranteur for asking why the King's batik shirt was so shoddy.

The late King. Not the current one.

From what I was breifed it is "Divine right of kings" and their god that put the king the thrown.

Buddhists don't have a god, but the king does pledge to support the monasteries and the monks.

Anyway, yeah, don't like Thailand.

I could be wrong, It was an army breifing

Their history, you can't rely on them to do anything good for the region.

And yeah, I'd expect the same thing to happen if you were to walk into some pubs in England and badmouth the royal family.

Or at least, that's how it used to be.
