The Thai Way

Daeng and Boonreang went to the Police Station in Mae Chan today and met with the family of the lady that died in the accident along with the Mother and Father of the boy who's motorbike Boonreang was driving.

It turned out that the Mother and Father would not help out with anything and were complete ass holes about the whole accident. They would have let Boonreang go to jail rather than help even though his son let Boonreang drive his motorbike.

One thing I have learned in the last 69 years is: "Never fight with pigs. You just get muddy and the pigs love it!"


Daeng called me and told me she had made arrangements with the family of the lady that was killed and ask me to transfer money into an account so they could be paid 200,000 Thai Baht today. If we did that Boonreang would not have to go to jail and would be put on a kind of probation for the next two years.

I transferred the money she needed and said a little prayer thanking God that the rest of us were safe and that the other family was so kind.
