In lieu of giving a helping hand, you chose to make wise cracks. No small wonder the locals are now looking at farangs with disdain and not the friendliness that was once exhibited here.
I don't wish any great misfortune up you wise asses, but a little humility would be nice.
Perhaps this is a wind up? But I'll bite. Well,I think that's the first time I've been termed a 'sicko' or 'wise ass' for attempting a little, gentle humour. The initial posting, written by a Thai as I understand it, had an element of humour. The most important thing here, given the unusual circumstances, was that mother and baby were ok, which is exactly how I started my post! It certainly pays to maintain a sense of humour in Thailand. Thai are renowned for a sense of fun. There have been several instances here of births in different types of vehicles and I'd be surprised if various 'quips' didn't follow in the press and tv.I think I've got plenty of humility and my idea of humour, seemingly not appreciated by all. Apologies to anyone, including mum and baby, who thinks I was 'out of order'.
