It is a little hard to see from your photo but if it has a small black tear marking below its eye it is a Red necked Keelbeck Snake in Thai "Ngoo Lie Sam"

Pretty venomous and quite aggresive

Lucky boy.

So you think that farangs are never broke?

a popular misconseption, have a little compassion, the guy may be stuck 1000's of miles from home and his doing at least something to get himself back. we are not all walking ATM's

It can be as long as you have a couple of thousand baht on you

very good advice scamp, the only thing i would mention is that the incedence of milaria is vey low in most of Thailand and many anti-milarial drugs have some pretty unpleasant side effects. Worst case scenario is severe depresion and suicide. I personally would rather have milaria than be dead so if you have any depresive problems or any family history of such steer well clear of anti milarials.

My reaction to being called farang is usually played down too a reply of pom mai farang, pom poo dii angrit. It usually works without anyone losing face or being offended again

I only said this fish was fit for Jahova!

And toastwars and all those who think the same,

You can't even accept if a person(a Thai) educating his own language (thai) to you that the term "farang" is BY NO MEANS racist?  It's not even your own language?

How can you even know it is racist?  It sounds really strange to me.

Also, can you give me some examples for Thais being racist?

And which western countries you think are less racist than Thailand?

I have taken the time to learn Thai, admittedly I am not the best but I am not unaproachable to Thais and if they want to know my name or where I come from they can just ask in their own language and I will answer in their own language. I would not dream of shouting "OI, FOREIGNER" at visitors from different countries. as for examples just watch Television or check out the way Thais act around Indians at work

Nope!

Also, toastwars,

Thais are racist towards who?  Towards (oh how am I going to say it if I can't say the word "whites")?

answered in previous posts. Not particulally towards caucasions exept as generallising witht the word farang but certainly towards Afro/carabian and indians

I'd like to elaborate on what has been said thus far to the question are Thai(s) racist...the answer is "No".

I have wittnessed a lot more racism in Thailand from Thais than at any time in England...I would say yes

Do you find the word "farang" racist, toastwars?

We have had this discussion before on TV, I personally dislike the term along with Gaigin in Japanese. I explained this to my Thai friends and they do not use farang in my presence. I don't use racially offensive classifiers in my everyday language and I find it baffling that others annot seem to function without them.

Instead of calling someone black try this one  "Hi there whats your name? I would hate to have to use a racial classifier for a fellow human being"

Just exactly how is one going to refer to a black person if one doesn't know his nationality? May I have your clever opinion, please?

You could always ask, or say "that gentleman over there" as opposed that chink/packie/darkie it's pretty easy when you remember that we don't live in the 1950's

30 years ago you would not have to worry about calling somebody "A Black" now you can go to prison for it.

One of the reasons I live in Thailand.

One of the reasons you live in Thailand is so you can call someone "A Black"? That's about the most racist thing I've heard [a farang say] in a long time. I hope you're enoying the freedom.

Well Said FMX...The fact that TP is indignant about having his desire to racially abuse curbed makes me want to retch. TP do you relly think that the world is worse off because most people find racial slurrs offensive? Where do you buy your combat 18 magazines in LOS?

Who is to blame for this?

Racists I think
