If any posters have Thai male friends, thats cool, no problem, but not for me! Many of my long stay farang friends feel the same way. I have no trouble living here without them.
Our mothers don't put us on a pedistal and tell us how great we are from birth and we are not brought up being told that we were never colonised and we don't need foreigners!
Best to give them a wide birth Bob. After 30 years, I would'nt invite one of them to my home for a BBQ! I have had many aquantainances through my working life in Thailand but NO lasting friendships with any Thai males!
