Yes, but it's in DENMARK. So....

Legend. You gotta love that man..

Of course, all these Ukrainians are high on Meth.

If a Thai woman asks "Do you have farang penis?" Is this rude...or complimentary? Or just pure fear?

If a Thai man says to a Thai girl "I have farang penis"...is he being rude or complimentary to farang? I think the answer is clear.

Don't be silly, they have Air Asia for that.

Then why did you sycophantically say you want to kiss a Ukrainian soldier's feet in the Ukraine thread? I almost threw up. Yes, I know Thais are the main culprits for bad driving, but their bad driving doesn't reflect badly on farangs! I mean what were you thinking? Knocking down whiskey and going to drive? You did not consider how much your wanton act of recklessness would impact us, the law abiding farang community as a whole, did you?

I just spoke to a Thai girl, she told me when Thai people say "Farang" they get very excited in a good way, want to touch you and talk to you. So it's like a compliment.

You greet people in Thailand with "Jo San"? Do you do this in Brtain too? I guess not because you'd get smacked in the mouth. You seem to be one of these people who just because they're in Thailand think they can do anything they want, wear no shirt on the street and no underpants, greet people with "Jo San". Well, normal rules of social intercourse still apply, and if you walk around with no shirt, no underpants and greet people with "Hey man, Jo San", people WILL look at you strange. Say hello in Russian or Chinese or German to a Thai person? What are you, taking the pxxx now?

Actually it depends on whom they are speaking with. If to a French person, obviously it is spot on and they can't complain, the Franks were the original French after all. if to a person from the North European countries it could potentially be taken as insulting, as they are from one of the superior northern countries. If to an East European, obviously it is a huge compliment., same with Albanians, Greeks, and the Latin countries. If to a British person, obviously it's highly offensive. If to an American, it doesn't really matter because they wouldn't understand it most likely anyway. We need to be more sensitive to the underlying issues when interpreting whether an offensive insult did or did not take place.

It was a Russian couple: https://www.khaosodenglish.com/opinion/2025/04/20/why-some-thais-get-triggered-when-westerners-say-ni-hao-to-them/

It's based on the Persian word for "Franks". They're calling us French!!! This is not offensive to you???!!!

"..a farmhand summed up the deteriorating public security condition in rural China: “If you raise pigs, you stand guard at the pigsty every night. If you farm cattle, you stand guard at the cowshed every night…But either way, do not even dare thinking about sleeping at home.” [1] The general trend of the state of public security in China’s countryside over the last decade is one where criminal activities of all kinds are surging steadily.." China’s manufacturing boom, while providing rural laborers with employment opportunities, has unintended, if not entirely negative consequences on security in the countryside. Criminal syndicates, whether local or transplanted from the cities, are gaining greater presence in rural China. While some operate like bandits, moving from one village to another, burglarizing households and terrorizing the local populace, others maintain a more permanent presence. Local groups produce counterfeit goods, operate illegal gun-manufacturing workshops and produce drugs (particularly methamphetamines) as a quick means to escape poverty. https://jamestown.org/program/rural-chinas-public-security-vacuum/

Did you by chance read that in this article? For example, one Westerner said that some Thais laughed when a Westerner (farang) eats guava, which is also called “farang” in Thai, and laugh.... อ่านข่าวต้นฉบับได้ที่ : https://www.khaosodenglish.com/opinion/2025/04/20/why-some-thais-get-triggered-when-westerners-say-ni-hao-to-them/

That's true, I trust MalcolmB as far as I can throw him, about 97.9 metres.

Ever since you missed the "black foreign tourists" bit in the other thread I have grave doubts about your Thai ability, to be honest.

Another Ukrainian draft dodger bringing down the stock of farang in Thailand. Smh. Deport him and make him pay double for being a Ukrainian draft dodger.

Sure. The Constitution expressly grants Congress the “power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises…” and also “To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations… .” But during World War I, Congress began to cede some of that authority when it gave the president power to regulate trade with enemies. After the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill helped deepen the Great Depression, lawmakers in 1930 began the process of giving power over tariffs to presidents. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/08/politics/tariffs-trump-power-constitution-congress/index.html Even those members of Congress who are pursuing action KNOW Congress granted this power to the Executive. They have no leg to stand on.

Of course it could be worse, they could call us "long nose monkeys", like in Indonesia.

Dream on. Even those pursuing these claims know there's no chance of success.

I guess we shouildn't get upset because Thailand's roads are so safe already, a few drunk Ukrainians more on the roads makes no difference, right? Children could have been killed. Deport this draft dodger and his British cheerleader. Thailand will be the better for it! Zero tolerance for drunk driving. And their apologists.

Complete fantasy. It is well established that Congress has passed its power to impose tariffs to the executive. This has been established for over 100 years. Non-story. Zero chances of success. No way will the Supreme Court interfere in this.

Another drunk defending Ukrainians getting blotto on Whiskey and then going for a joydrive. Great. Now our reputation as farang criminals will get even worse. Thanks a lot.

Quite a lot. You're in Thailand, so you should greet people in Thai, not some Chinese, Korean or Japanese. Your work colleagues probably think you're a bit of a dick behind your back. Imagine if you greeted your British work colleagues with "Guten Tag", that would get you fired in some City offices. it's not about "heritage issues", it's about respecting the country you live in.

Exactly right. The real nightmare would be Chinese takeover. A nation with the in-built tendency to lawlessness and criminality, some would say outright cruelty, with a real chip on their shoulder due to WWII and perceived slights by the West and Japanese, a nation like this obtaining military and economic power to occupy the world, it's a total nightmare scenario. And occupation by the Chinese would make a Japanese occupation look like a sweet weekend visit by comparison. We should all pray that Trump's courageous fight to bring down China succeeds.
