this farang is racist... the way he is describing everything... is totally negative ... YOU FARANG ARE IGNORANT... not all farang are ignorant... but when they dont know any knowledge and talk bad about Buddhism or Sak Yant... oii.. it irriates me... I hope your reading this comment.. you should really think before you speak next time.. and they are not " scary " they are good... they are Brahman, Hindu, Buddhist gods...

@SignifyingDonkey Only if you get a Tattoo of a Thai Sloth, with Thai ink, In thailand, by Thai people. Then yeah, you'd move around like a Sloth.

[SignifyingDonkey]

If I got a tattoo of a sloth, would I just move around really slowly in the crowd?
