  1. Yes, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates would be mistaken for poor stingy Farangs!
  2. I've noticed that too. Western boomers tend to be the wealthiest generation. They make fun of broke millennials. In Asian countries, which are emerging economies, millennials and Gen Y are often much better off than their parents.
  3. Where are those topics? I searched several times and couldn't find any.
  4. Some foreigners also have to eat fish sauce everyday: Laotians, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Burmese, Indonesians, Filipinos
  5. They should give Yao Ming a try. 10 inches, 100,000, maybe 100 minutes? Some Asian men can be really tall and strong. But I guess they all get snatched up pretty quickly back home. And the ones that grow up in Farang countries are often Farang sized. That's my point. They have nothing in common with each other, and with Thais. But some Thai women still prefer them over guys from other continents?
  6. I've heard people say that many (though not all) Thai women prefer East Asian men (ethnic Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Filipino) over Farang/Caucasian/white men if they could have the choice. Particularly the lighter-skinned or more dollish-looking Thai women, maybe from the North Lanna area or Bangkok, rather than darker Isan women. How true is this? If true, why would they prefer East Asian over Caucasian men? To me, old, wrinkly balding Asian and Farang men are all just old, wrinkly balding men. Young Asian and Farang men both look pretty good. Cute boy bands are just cute boy bands. The language gap is the same whether the guy is Asian or Farang. Other Asians also don't get the weird nuances of Thai culture and social interactions. No racism towards Asians, Thais, or Farangs alike meant here. Definitely don't mean to hurt any feelings. Just curious why random people, both Farangs and Thais, would keep telling me this from time to time.
  7. I love blue cheese. That's why I can tolerate fish sauce. But I can't understand why Thais can't tolerate the smell of blue cheese. It's basically the cheesy version of fish sauce.
  8. Sarcasm, or did an agogo girlfriend really have her heart broken? After all, believe it or not, working ladies can still fall madly in love and get broken hearts.
  9. That was a wild chase Simon! Anything can happen in LOS. Every now and then out of the blue, I hear crazy stories like this in Thailand.
  10. Take it easy on yourself mate. You've got this. Find a good friend to talk to at one of those support groups or organizations before it's too late. Don't be ashamed of getting started. You'll meet others going through the same journey. Stay strong and don't give up! Life can be more meaningful than this.
  11. Hey guys, Men and women are all humans. Some foreign men have broken Thai women's hearts. I've heard quite a few sad, moving stories of Thai women having their hearts broken and ripped to shreds. What makes you think that all Thai women are emotionless money-leeching reptiles? Have you ever heard Thai love songs? Especially when sung by Thai women who obviously think about their heartbroken past while singing those songs? Haven't you heard Thai women talk about the pain of being abandoned by men whom they had really loved? Going through some of these replies, it seems like some of us farang men are actually the emotionless reptiles.
  12. Glad to see a forum member here actually enjoying Thainess. So refreshing to see this vs. all the other Thai bashing posts.
  13. Thais, whether men or women, move on more easily because they have a cyclical view of the world. They believe that everything constantly comes and goes. Once something is gone, then it will come back again in another form. Birth and re-birth, reincarnation, that kind of stuff. The Thai perspective on life is radically different from what you'd see in the West.
