Why would the Thai Government have to offer Tiger Woods Thai citizenship ? His mother is Thai , his father was US Military of African American, Chinese, and Native American descent. SInce his mother is Thai he can claim or get Thai citizenship/passport whenever he wants as a returning Thai National. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGIR Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Typical English/European attitude. He and his wife are quite famous in the U.S., her for looks and him for some pretty awesome singing and Philanthropy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai Visa crowd: "Who dat?" I guess the rabbit hole is quite deep for some. i am a lifelong musician and due to genre did not know this guy or his name though i have heard that song ad nauseam, sort of like the pop version of "hotel california" also overplayed. i know many rockers, jazzers, bluesers, reggae ers, and even opera ers. for me the only '"john" that is a "legend" is john lennon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and by the way it has had 1.5 billion views and some on here laughing at him and saying his wife is more famous lmfao. Hugely popular with Thai teen girls a few years ago (per my students).

Because the "government" at the time wanted in on Tigers popularity and fame! he wasn't interested, the "ceremony" was performed at the old airport where he gave them 10 minutes of his time.

Queenslander Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Bitchiness or being Catty in my time related to the female side.. seems times change and old boring no nothing jealous TV commentators have cornered the market.

OK, Nostradamus, how's that crystal ball that you're looking into, which gives you some magical insight, 200 years, from now? As for being famous, if Mozart walked through the same market, today, then, how many local Thais do you think would know him? Most likely, ZERO.

Odysseus123 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 One of the few heated arguments I ever got into in Thailand was about whether Anne Shelton was,in fact,a far superior singer and rival to Vera Lynn!???? Anyway..I am sure that Transam would create a similar stir if he walked thru the markets of Ubon.. Mr Legend seems like the genuine article to me.

Fex Bluse Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 He certainly wouldn't be concerned with Baht to Pound or Dollar fluctuations or how much the price of cheese and Chang have gone up. Not married to a bar girl, either. Kids seem to like his music. Wife was pretty a few years back before middle age. Thais know him mostly because his wife is half Thai. Just like they like Tiger Woods for the same reason. Otherwise they couldn't care less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissy Teigen was a model and super hot back in her younger days. Half Norwegian, half Thai. Can't think of many better combinations than that. Certain more woman than I could handle.
