  1. You definitely have to be careful as a foreigner. There's no way that you can think "Well the Thais do it this way, so I'll do the same".
  2. No. They will call other Thais by their names.
  3. No. He just calls them "Thai person"! 🤦‍♂️
  4. It's pretty simple. In a situation where it is normal to refer to someone by their name or some sort of title, and it is known, use that.
  5. It's through my knowledge of Thai culture that I know that Thais will still refer to you as farang when speaking about you.
  6. I think what this highlights is that Thais feel the need to refer to foreigners as outsiders, even when they are well known to them.
  7. I point out bad foreigners. Sadly there are a couple of you here who take my postings personally. This is very strange. I don't attack or disrespect any member here, I only post what's freely available to the internet. The problem is that the way you post shows that you aren't simply "pointing out bad foreigners", but purposefully trying to make foreigners look bad, whilst showing animosity towards them. I'm not going to go through all your old posts to find examples, but when I point out the racism in your posts, I make it perfectly clear. I'll just use your post from yesterday as an example. You posted a video of a foreign man, looking a little worse for wear. The video is apparently shot by a Thai person, who appears to shout at the foreigner and tries to make him follow his vehicle, when the foreigner does so, he drives off a little. The Thai person says something else, the foreign man walks towards him again, and the Thai drives off, shouting something at the foreign man. The video is basically of a Thai man harassing a foreign man on the street. It would seem likely that the reason that the Thai is harassing the foreign person is because he is a Thai. You describe the video as a video of "Stupid foreigners in Thailand". I don't know how you cannot see the problem with that.
  8. That's great, but Thais are still going to refer to you as farang, even if they know you.
  9. She has aged very badly. I actually have a vague memory of her being attractive when she was younger, but I did a quick google, and she was never all that great.
  10. Are you saying that you actually admit there might be something negative about Thailand or Thai people???
  11. Quite. It isn't inherently racist, but if you called a Thai friend who you knew well and whose name you knew "Asian guy", it would instantly be offensive. It's referring to someone you know as " the foreigner", or using it in a negative way, i.e. suggesting that foreigners are bad, that is clearly racist. If someone said "I saw a farang in the town today, he was very tall", I don't think anyone would have an issue with it. If your father in law, who you have known for years, says to your wife, "What is that farang doing today", it is obviously offensive.
  12. I'm sure prior to the kick most locals didn't care in the slightest what he did, as long as it didn't affect them.
  13. Let's see how living in Thailand compares to a short holiday... 🤔
  14. Was he really holding the gun on a busy road? It would seem more sensible to have it somewhere hidden.
  15. Yes. You can google this FOI request below and download the Word document. It's incredible the way the pro-trans people are in complete denial of the truth.
  16. True, although I don't think you can compare a dodgy pair of flares and a floral shirt with men raping women in women's prisons, or beating them up in a boxing ring at the Olympics. Instead of a photo with a now humorous hair do, it's someone having had their breasts removed. 😓
  17. Thais tend not to need active external validation. In the West, it's more about making other people treat someone a certain way, in order for them to feel validated.
  18. I'm not sure which is more annoying, bitter people raging at the mear existence of other non-Thais, or nutters who seem to try to make out that anything Thai is the best thing ever. If this pork belly guy could just tone it down a bit, it would probably be a good video.
  19. It's definitely not the behaviour of a well balanced person. Hating another group of people, then trying very hard to paint them in a negative light, rather than simply telling the truth, is a sign of some deep rooted personal issues. Judging by the previous video of his shared on this site, he has an inferiority complex, and needs to put others down to make himself feel better. Sadly, this isn't that uncommon in the expat community, we even see a few like this on this forum. 😔
  20. The answer is in the question. "What's with all these idiotic foreigner YouTubers who go around asking stupid questions and trying to claim that other foreigners are losers?" Pretty much whatever they are claiming is how they really feel about themselves. It's all projection.
  21. Not only that, but you need to take a close look at any organisations that tried to cover it up. I can't believe the WHO is still allowed to exist.
  22. It's only controversial because people tried to stop people from repeating it, due to the immense power that China wields.
