Crustyjuggler Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'd say the richer the Thai, the more extreme they are on both sides. The nicest, most welcoming, hospitable Thais that I've met are filthy rich. On the flip side, the coldest and most obnoxious Thais that I've met are extremely well off too. That's just about levels of Chinese DNA.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chatty Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 However, I understand na... difference people, difference experience, difference background. the Point here is about ANGRY RICH THAI GUY did to p'Jack who is FARANG MAN here... it's awful thing. Trust me I feel terrible to hear this situation happen with ppl around me again and again. But hey, it not happen only too farang but Thai ppl too... so please don't think Thai guys are farang haters. Poor people can be rude too... and rich ppl can be nice too... It's kinda narrow-mind to judge people by look, by race, by class, by education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetieBabie Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 In my experience, the richer the Thai, the ruder they are. Disagree. +2 I have met more nice rich Thais than rude rich Thais. The same as I've met more nice poor Thais, than rude poor Thais, but I have met equally rude people in all money classes, from all over the world. It's just the richer ones think they can get away with it more. But you don't know my experience, :idea: :arrow: Although, it might have little to do with economical reasons, i believe its something more has to do with personal upbringing and how person is raised in what family and what environment. Some people can be animal, no matter how much they've got in pocket. Chang or Chardonnay. The generalization attack on Thai males or the riches seem unfair.

CiaranM Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I think you place WAY too much importance on farang in Thailand. We (ie farang living and working here) are just a tiny, insignificant part of things in the big picture. So much so that we just dont even rate a thought in the lives of most middle class to wealthy Thai.I know many farang see themselves as SO important here, like some God-sent being to the 'land of the poor'. But really, farang here are more like flies at a BBQ in the whole scheme of things in Thailand. while i don't see myself being particularly important in the grand scheme of things in Thailand, r farang as a totality really so insignificant here. would be interesting to know how much of Thailand's income is generated from farang businesses, farang companies, farang franchises, farang expats, farang tourists and farangs taking care of sick buffalos etc !!! i wonder how much of the investment in Thailand now comes from outside the country ??

If we all left tomorrow Kus would be very happy, and the tourist industry would suffer, but in the overall scheme of things I don't think there would be a huge impact.

I dont know the answer to that. But, I don't think many people would carry those numbers around in their heads. What I meant was that I believe the vast majority of Thai, particularly middle class and wealthy, don't have much head space for farang and their significance here. They are just not viewed as important or really thought about at all. And certainly nowhere near as important as most farang see themselves to be here.

We are important to each others in some points. I heard some lecturor said weak point of Thai ppl is we don't know to show our caring. Seems like we don't care but we care and we don't know how to show it. I don't wanna focus only on "Farang" just wanna talk about others foriegners too. I believe ppl come here to invest and work cuz they have seen their oppotunities... this country give them the opptunities. We want money, job, you foriengners give it too us. We want knowledge, such as languages, management you give us and we give you money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koolbreez Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 One area that I see quite a bit of resentment toward falangs expressed is from what the college students that study outside of Thailand bring back. They learn how to question authority, and express their opinions about how business, government, and a host of other operations should be run, and those in power can't stand it. This is not a trait that is taught in Thailand, or encouraged, that being to question. This is brought back by those that have studied abroad, with the full consent of those in authority encouraging them, but not realizing that they are learning principles that go against basic understandings in Thai culture......you don't question authority, be it in business, government, or your parents, and the only ones that can be blamed for this change are falangs.
