good point.

are they above us in the world pecking order?? arent thais constantly sizing people up in terms of age, rank, social status etc?? i thought that was a (rather ugly) facet of thai culture?

sometimes the truth hurts and people just cant seem to accept that this kind of thing goes on in the country they reside.

wow. how do you know that?

you may be right. i kinda doubt it tho

hey mods, i hope that you are reading this. I came here for help/advice and so far i have been labelled smelly, agressive and a white supremasist. this is a prime example of how an honest thread regularly gets hijacked by resident aseannow thai apologists. its ridiculous.

two wrongs dont make a right, do they? discrimination is discrimination and can happen to anyone regardless of the color of their skin!

yeah, maybe you are right. at least they didnt have to do 90 day reporting...

I struggle to see how sitting quietly at a table drinking a coffee exerts a superiority complex? enough to make the woman move away? did you even read my OP?

thats really great to hear! thanks for your input.

dont thais have a simialr attitude toward cambodian/lao/burmese people? perhaps their dislike for us is rooted in the fact that they feel inferior to foreigners because they know they are not above us in the world pecking order? if thats the case then it aint my fault i was born with white skin!

so personal appearance takes precedance over basic human decency? are people really that shallow here??

i dont know how this kind of thing affects you but it actually hurts me. then the hurt quickly turns to anger and I have a strong urge to reprimand the culprit, but i never do.

well thats great. good for you. thanks for your input.

I would like to. but in my current situation its very hard if not impossible to do that. I am however working on a plan to isolate myself even more than I currently do. not sure how that will affect my mentality but it might not be too good?

I shower at least twice a day and wear the finest cologne. its not enough??

i am not an aggressive person. at least i dont strive to be. not sure what an aggressive demeanor is? and how can we control how others perceive us?

I would like to kindly ask that everyone please read my post thoroughly and comphrehend everything that I am saying before making any rash judgements. thank you all.

hi pink mist. could you please move this to the pub. thank you.

good morning. I would like some advice on how to deal with my negative view of thai people. this is something that has been growing in me for years and has now fully crystalized. i dont like this feeling, but i cannot help it. after negative interaction after negative interaction this is what it has become. jsut yesterday i was sat at a table having a coffee, i could see the table netx to me had drinks on the table already. then a thai woman approcached and noticed there was a farang sat on the table next to hers. she immediately picked up her drinks and moved to another table accross the room. thhen on the bus on thre way home, there was only 1 seat available so i sat down. the man got up from his seat and stood up instead of having to sit next to a farang. these are just two isolated inceients out of hundreds over the years. what is a foreigner to do when faced with constant incidents such as these? should we remian positive? should we remain respectful at all times? surely there is only so much people can take? another one that really riles me is when walking down the street and a thai person isnt wearing there mask but when they see a foreinger approaching they quickly put their mask on. then when the foriegner leaves thier vacinity they remove it again. they seem absolutely terrified of us. it really gets me down. this is NOT a thai bashing thread, so please dont treat it as such. I am looking for advice on how to deal with these feelings that have sadly now crsytalized into something far worse than dislike for our 'hosts'. and before anyone says i should just leave. no, that is not an opition. for better or for worse i am stuck here. I just need some advice because i dont like feeling this way about them but all my hundreds of negative interactions with the locals over the years has shaped my outlook of them and it isnt positive. I honestly cant remember the last time i had a positive interaction with a local. probably before covid. do i need therapy or am i justified in my feelings? these events that i see on a daily basis remind me of the way the civil rights movement begun. black people were treated in pretty much the same way as we are. they basically had no rights, has to sit alone at the back of the bus etc, they didnt stay quiet, did they? should we just put up and shut up or should this overtly xenophobic behavior from the locals be challenged? p.s, i have no idea if this post violates any forum rules. if it does then please feel free to remove it at the earliest convenience. these are just my honest feelings and i am seriously looking for advice/help with how to deal with them as I hate this negative mindset. thanks.

nothing wrong with that.

good riddance! and don't dare show yer face around these parts again. unless it is in a courtroom. you and your band of nodding dogs have destroyed this once wonderful country, you turned it into a chapter from 1984 with your constant fear mongering and heavy handed tactics. hell awaits the lot of you in the next life!

doesn't surprise me considering his online persona. he really grates on me.

this clown does my head in. cancel his visa and kick him out.

another rubbish article.
