Bangkok's 'Mexican' Gangsters
This new and particular trend is a clear example of a subculture immersed in other culture considering that these young Thais have accepted all types of visible and invisible behaviours and features of Mexican Gangsters such as clothes, tattoos, hairstyles, music and social feelings that inspire their lifes.
I believe that the most important characteristic of this phenomenon is the feeling of social dissatisfaction that young Thais have against their government. It's like an expression of deep anger and denunciation that some people have for various issues that are affecting their society such as abortion or corruption and these situations are similar to the current situacion in Mexico.
I infer that sometimes the physical borders between countries or continents or territories don't matter if we can identified with situations that occur in other parts of the world. In a globalized and connected world as ours, only the internet can shows all of the facts that are happening in our countries and these scenes contribute to create a BIG GLOBAL CULTURE.
Thanks for your attention,

i totally agree with you point of view and i actually think what those Thais gangsters do is not bad at all, they are just trying to express their thoughts and feeling and if they don't hurt anyone having that "style of life" they are totally free to do it.
ResponderEliminarMy friend, I agree with you. When we see people like this, using tattoos, bling bling, singing hip hop and using a particular hearstyle, we immediately think that they are bad people or delincuent, and drug consumer. But Thais gangsters are a group of people that want to express their feeling and discontented about the corruption in the government and the specific social problems like abortion, poverty, drug addiction etc. movies, videos, mass media have been showed the stereotype of gangster of this reason Thai Gangsters are related with delincuent and violente people.
