any bets he wants a woman that he can beat and who won't go running to the police?
Beat a Thai woman and you will end up with her pulling out a knife and killing you. That is the way it works here. Western women have nothing on Asian women when it comes to vindictive violence.
Yeah, that thought crossed my mind as well. Either beat or some other undesireable thing... But then I thought that, even though I'm, let's see - coarse, bitter, angry, shrill, a fussbudget, a "female attorney", among other things -- was an accusation I wouldn't make.
But since you did... :-)
