bigKus Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Farangs make me feels like second class citizen in my own country sometimes. may be have to blame my own people. Can you pls expand on this SB, what do you mean exactly? Farang looking down on you? Not respecting Thai culture? Acting like elites? no and no and no. Not something farangs directly do to bother but in many scenarios that westerners are treated much better than the average Thais, as we become less importance. It's the whole 'farang has money' attitude. I also feel a lot of things are catered for foreigner customers rather than Thais, psychologically and economically. Most farang teachers get paid more than Thai teachers at the same level of knowledge. Taxi drivers only take farang costumers. etc etc. I'm sure many thai people have encountered these situation one way or another. Your comment reminded me my good old time here TF forum, the forum thread i raised which ran to 10 pages within couple hours...search for 'hey you farang' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can kinds understand the -follow the (expected) money trail--- that happens in many places also the ---let's bargin more out of the dumb farang----let the buyer beware! but the example of the taxi drivers :?: what is up with that --- :?: Loveday had the same experience in a JN a few weeks ago and had to walk home...where is the logic in that?

DANNO Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 The Thais are pretty quiet on this one.... Actually I'd really like to know what pisses them off...One thing that bothers me - and possibly Thai too - is farang guys walking around Bangkok with their shirts off. 1) To show off their new tattoo 2) To show off their awesome bodies 3) To show off their awesome beer guts At a coastal town - on Beach Road it's ok... but in shopping malls and high streets it looks bad. yah i asked them b4 if they do the same thing back home, they said yes. U cant question stupidity. Maybe Thai are bothered by more than their far share of rude dumbasses that wouldn't be tolerated in their own counrty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
