@ThaiEnquirer You are right, the teachers and parents have to do a better job in educating their kids to respect the diversity of cultures which enriches our experience.

@ThaiEnquirer Everyone moving abroad studying or working, should be briefed about the main values of the hosting culture to avoid sad behavior as it happened with these students. Institutions should be responsible for providing these briefings. Tourists should also brief themselves.

Italian students issue video apology, say those involved to return home early Representatives of the Italian student group involved in the viral BTS train incident have issued a video apology after the controversy sparked widespread backlash in Thailand, including online harassment, confrontations at the group's hotel and an apology from the Italian Embassy in Bangkok. The students drew criticism after a video showed members of the group behaving loudly on a BTS train before allegedly mocking a Thai passenger who asked them to lower their voices. The incident prompted Thai netizens to flood the Italian Embassy's social media accounts with complaints, identify some of the students' personal social media profiles and confront the group at its Bangkok hotel. At least one Italian teacher was also wrongly identified online and subjected to harassment. The video, released by the Italian Embassy on Saturday, featured four representatives apologizing to the Thai people and expressing regret for offending Thai culture. They said the group had delayed responding because of fear, but acknowledged that waiting to address the incident had been a mistake. They also admitted their behaviour on the BTS was inappropriate and apologized to those affected. The representatives said the group does not condone the behaviour shown in the viral video and confirmed that the students directly involved would return to Italy as soon as possible. They also said the group would strengthen efforts to ensure its students respect local cultures during overseas trips, while thanking Thailand for its hospitality and asking the Thai public for forgiveness. #Thailand #Bangkok #วัยรุ่นอิตาลี

@ChromeCrumpet Very disrespectful of this group of tourists who know nothing about life and come to Thailand and think they can do anything they want. Indeed they do not have manners. Respect the local people and culture as much as you want others to respect yours.

Would you have stepped in? 🤔🤷‍♂️ A Bangkok BTS passenger asked a group of foreign tourists to lower their voices. Moments later, the exchange turned into an argument, with one tourist saying, “Then sorry for bringing money to your country.” The clip has gone viral and sparked debate across Thailand. Who do you think was in the wrong? Should visitors follow local public transport etiquette, or was the complaint unnecessary? Watch the video and share your opinion. #รถไฟฟ้าBTS #มารยาทในที่สาธารณะ #เคารพวัฒนธรรมไทย #ประเด็นร้อน #Bangkok #Thailand

I am speechless

Hungary has entered a new political chapter (Huffff) a heavy defeat of Viktor Orbán which marks a turning point after years of dominant leadership. A massive defeat of European and US populism.

@Rui_Cavaleiro_ Concordo Rui, por exemplo, o Elon Musk podia ser um sujeito bastante “cool” com todas as iniciativas inovadoras que teve mas em vez disso decide juntar-se aos oligarcas, não percebo!

A revolução tecnológica permitiu que a Humanidade tivesse, finalmente, recursos suficientes para viver bem. A ganância, o egoísmo e o fanatismo estragaram tudo.

@Rui_Cavaleiro_ Caro Rui, o que se parece mais com a figura do Sr Rutte é a gravata.

@Rui_Cavaleiro_ Que Buddha nos salve 🙏

Diário da guerra Hoje sim, foi dia de grandes novidades. O Zelensky, de quem somos fiéis amigos e aliados, apareceu de surpresa no Golfo. Ofereceu a ajuda da Ucrânia na guerra contra o Irão. Diz que tem recursos mais do que suficientes para ir continuando a eterna guerra com a Rússia e, ainda assim, enviar militares e bombas para ajudar Israel e os USA. Trump afirmou ter recusado um convite para se tornar o novo líder supremo do Irão. Garantiu que o trabalho líder supremo não lhe interessava, que prefere ser, unicamente, um homem de negócios. Vários países, incluindo a Alemanha, comunicaram que estava para breve um encontro entre USA e Irão para chegar a um cessar fogo. Os israelitas, esses, parecem não se interessar por estes desenvolvimentos, e continuam a bombardear ferozmente o Líbano e o Irão.

@Rui_Cavaleiro_ Caricatura muito bem conseguida

Faz tempo que abordei o tema do inefável e estridente comentador.
