Farang wankers

[lenno]

A Thai who goes to Britain and learns the local dialect, drinks 8 pints of lager of an evening, talks about football, and addresses everyone he meets as "Alright mate" will be accepted as one of the lads.  A Brit who goes to Thailand and learns the local dialect, drinks a bottle of Mekong, talks about money and goes around wai-ing everybody will be considered an absolute ######.  

A friend of mine, having just returned from the Land of Smiles, blowjobs and threesomes said he enjoyed his trip and felt he had been a good foreigner, when I enquired why he began to explain...  

He flew with Thai Airways business class but service was economy, he took a metered taxi but was told 300 baht was better for him, he stayed at the Asia hotel where the touts took him to many bargain places, he barfined a girl who than asked him for 3,000 baht but wanted to leave quick as she did not like kissing, he bought a flower garland at the Erawan shrine and paid what they asked, he met a nice girl who wanted to get out of the bar scene so he bought her out of the bar and gave her 100,000 baht but when he said that should be enough for food and shelter for a year he finds he cannot contact her.  

He took a hotel car (old car) for 850 baht back to the airport.  All of this and more made him feel he had been a good foreigner...  I said no, he said why,  I replied, you would have been a good foreigner if you had given all the money without being bothersome to come here, just send the money to everybody and make sure you pay the Thai bank charges as well on transferring.  

My feeling is they want our  money but not us, they want our expertise but don't want to pay for it just to copy it.  Good for some of us that they can't copy Mercedes Benz cars or speak good English otherwise that would be the end for us all here.

Lenno I appreciate your input.  After worked hard the past 35 years, I am about to take my retirement in the Land of Smiles, BJs, and three somes.  Because of posts like this and a recent letter from Dr. Smith, I will approach Thailand with caution.  Thanks.

unfortunatly your freind must have been walking around with a big tattoo across his head saying "fool" or maybe worse. Being treated like an idiot & acepting it does not make him a good foreigner, it makes him part of the ever increasing problem faced by tourists in Thailand every day. Had he been thinking from his head & not his trousers he might have had a better time in the land of smiles but as it was he was just another sad guy coming here & being fooled into beleiving he was gods gift to thai women by the cat calls of "sexy man".  Lenno, you are right, he should have just got off the plane found the first lady bar he came across & handed over his credit cards & balls in a brown paper bag before getting the next flight home. A word to all you guys coming here for smiles bj's & 3somes, think before you leap into bed as these girls can see you coming a mile off.

With my impending new life in Thailand from the "old country"

I am always amused to see the farang on his first trip to Los even the most cautious man back home seems to lose all sense of reality.    But hey, us guys who have been coming here years have all been through the apprentiship of learning the "Thai way" of life.     I take my hat off to the girls who win the hearts and minds of us farangs there intentions are no different from the rest of the girls around the world, except they are mostly all very beautifull.

So I say let the farang go through the corridors of los and he will certainly come out wiser if not poorer and he'll always remember the highs and lows.

Sev :cool:

A fool and his money  etc.in any country are the same.

Hey man,

Just wanted to let you know that your friend must be a super-idiot and he doesn't deserve better than getting ######ed in this way! Let him know that.

Lenno, your first point:

A Thai who goes to Britain and learns the local dialect, drinks 8 pints of lager of an evening, talks about football, and addresses everyone he meets as "Alright mate" will be accepted as one of the lads.  A Brit who goes to Thailand and learns the local dialect, drinks a bottle of Mekong, talks about money and goes around wai-ing everybody will be considered an absolute ...

Too true. The UK is very much more cosmopolitan than it gives itself credit for. People from any race can be accepted (generally, everywhere has some tossers - usually with NF tattoos and Union Jacks carved in to their crew cuts).

Farang will never be accepted as Thai even after citizenship - they will still have to argue why they are being charged double on the Baht Bus etc. This is true though of many countries, the outsider is always the outsider.

Maybe it has something to do with clumping. You know, where are all the farang? Living in communities in Pattaya etc - socialising with other falang or bar-babes. Many farang have lived in LOS for a long time and can speak little more than basic Thai - few can read and write. Lets face it, in the same scenario, would bve put ourselves out to get to know that Pakistani guy who can't talk english although he's been in London since 1975, and only ever socialises with other Pakistanis?

Just a thought.
