drlovelife8 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Yeah but lets face it, Nana and the Pong are so tiny compared to the larger but more discreet sleazy thai areas which cover the entire country. It's surprising what a little neon can do in a relatively small part of town, it just makes everything look so much bigger than it really is.. agree. I laugh when I hear Thai people bang on about farangs and sleaze, when the fact is that about 90% of all the sex industry in Thailand is for Thai people. Nicely put........... something I wouldn't mind reminding some of the members here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drlovelife8 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 and... those very silly oversized contact lenses so many Thai girl wear these days. And even more silly... the oversized colour ones.oh well.... gotta keep copying those Korean fashions .... wouldnt want to be original. :roll: We, Thai loves everything that is not Thai.. As simple as that... But don't Thais love everything Thai too ??? That makes it tuff! :wink: Allow me to clear this up. They (meaning some but not all) love farang stuff if it involves celebration, fashion or gain. Edited due to drunk posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hienz Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 White men thinking they are greater than God, and especially the women that makes them think so.You'd better to say Thai bar girl (street hookers, whatever you named it) makes them thinks so.

Admin_2 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 "Oh my god you got fatter." "Oh my god you got skinnier." When it has nothing to do with your weight...either it's the clothes you're wearing that day or some sort of strange Thai form of greeting or breaking the ice. During my first week in Thailand, I got 3 "you got fatters" in one day and actually began to feel self conscious! Soon after I learned that this is just part of Thailand.

Soon after I learned that this is just part of Thailand. Being nosey is infused in Thai blood. Old habit dies hard. I dont think 'being nosey' is a THAI thing, but individual habit, yet universal. I m 100% Thai, but I dont think I m a nosey as often been complaint about lacking updated information (of some people personal life) and they find it boring talking gossip with me :-(.

HAH not just a Thai habit... human habit well i am Thai and i think Thai people are very nosey, more than westerners. May be not so much in a city life. Try real thai community in suburbs or neighborhood in the country. Ignorant, but rude, with smiles. try telling real Thai, not westernized Thai, that you are dating a farang. and see what kind of response you'd get. just try.

"How much money you send to Thailand?" and if you say, no I don't send anyone any money and the Teerak doesn't give me any either.

It's so annoying, but it means they worried about your health... When you see someone you haven't seen for a long time and their weigh changed... might be something happen to them... Same as aske "Have you eaten yet?" or "Where did you go?" sounds like nosey... but it's just our greeting. They ask but they don't really need answer, sometime people who work in the service field call "PITFALLS QUESTIONS" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English_Bob Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Are you sure that its not just a habit of farang's wive society ?? Nope generally Thai are more nosey than farangs. I wouldn't ask anyone how much money they earn or much their rent is. But these are common questions asked by Thai people. And for farang guys in Thailand there is one question we NEVER ask - "Where did you meet your wife?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English_Bob Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Yep, while "Paparazzi" is a farang's word which even no exact difination in THAI. Well, Thailand might not have a word for 'paparazzi' (good word, by the way - Italian origin) but Thailand has these people. Any journalist who specialises in gossip about rumours about famous people. I think you will agree there are many of those publications - Thai people are very interested in celebrities' lives. I didn't mean it as an insult - it's just an observation. When Thai people ask me about my rent - I tell them. When they ask about my salary - I say "Por kin khao..." When they ask why I'm not married - I tell them because I didn't find the right girl yet. I don't get offended by these questions, but I can see how it would be a shock for unprepared farangs.

I didn't mean it as an insult - it's just an observation. These people 'paparazzi' have been known widely in Thailand just not many years ago (probably after the death of Princess Diana) and also the publications about celebrities' lives. No, no.. i didnt say that farangs have been 'being nosey' before thais When Thai people ask me about my rent - I tell them. When they ask about my salary - I say "Por kin khao..." When they ask why I'm not married - I tell them because I didn't find the right girl yet. I don't get offended by these questions, but I can see how it would be a shock for unprepared farangs. Its good that you dont get offended as they might ask you just because they interest in you or might ask with love and care or .. but not just 'being nosie' :roll: .

English_Bob Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Its good that you dont get offended as they might ask you just because they interest in you Yes... but 'being nosey' means 'being interested in things that aren't your business' like salary or rent!

Please open your eyes and change your social venue. A bar girl will please any colour thats paying. A party girl seldom walks from the white line (if you will pardon the pun).
