As you well know, most Thais are entirely too polite to say such a thing to an expats face regardless of how much they might want to do so.

 

 

You think so?

If looks could send me packing, then I have received this message infrequently over the years...

Given your remarks on Thaivisa about Thais and other asians its no wonder that you get dirty looks. If I had an attitude like that im sure I would not be really popular either.

I've been told that several times, almost invariably when trying to get some Thai to either do their job properly or to stop overcharging or stealing or otherwise bending/breaking the rules.

Just once I was told it at random by some loony in the street whom I didn't know and had never met.

Never by a Thai national. Plenty of expats on online forums have said it with venom. I've no idea why but they usually seem to be Americans.

Nice to see another Thai positive poll meant to bring out the goodness of the relationships between Thais and expats.  

If you read the reply's to the poll, it does seem to be exactly that. Not much bon homie between expats though.

Four decades and counting...never have I had those word uttered in my direction by a Thai.  I have had a few farang trolls go out of their way to make me feel unwelcome, over the years.

I have found that usually when any resident or local in any country tells a visitor or a non resident to leave is when that individual is a problem or continual nuisance to some degree. If you integrate and just go about your business there would be no reason to ever be asked to leave.

I would think the guys who frequent beer bars would get that when a girl is not being rewarded as handsomely as she anticipated.  "Farang no gip munnee farang no good!"

Thais are way too polite to tell you to go home. They just ask you when you will be returning home. But if you happen to answer "I plan to stay here forever!" they rarely seem pleased. All I ever get is a confused or crestfallen look.

Gf tells me all the time. Got used to it. Other than that just one time when I met a girl who seemed to have some issues with her ex Russian bf and hated all foreigners.

Most foreigners can't speak or understand Thai so this poll is null & void

And most Thais can't speak English either!! 

Hard to understand insults etc when neither can understand each other

Ignorance is bliss. I thank the Lord every day that I can't understand my wife when she goes into a full blown Lao/Issan rant.

Funny, can not recall Thai telling me to go back. Even when I had problems  extending my visa , immigration said to go to neighbouring country to get a new visa.

I always wondered what would be the point of insulting someone that wouldn't understand what you are saying to them. I mean the entire point of an insult is to get a reaction of some sort. ????

 

However usually when someone wants to insult another it is after that person has done something to upset them or made them angry.
