I would say that I, like you, don't like to have Farang in sight, when I exercise, either playing tennis, or in the swimming pools, or walking in the mountains.
For one thing, if they nod to you, then you are forced to nod back, or risk getting a tongue lashing, or worse.
Farang have so many hangups, and come from almost any country under the sun.
This is why I do not want to be hassled by them, especially when I prefer to be relaxing, like Sabai-sabai.
I really do not like the Farang I see around Thailand.
Maybe there are a few good ones.
But how can we tell which are the good one percent, and which are the bad 99 percent?
I am not joking here.
So, this is why it is my policy to completely STAY CLEAR of them.
The Thai people can do what they like.
But I, as a Farang, have long ago set my alien Farang policy, and it is not likely to change in the near or far future, either.
