Sure, for farangs like you who have and are invested in Thailand. But I think you are in the minority. I believe that most aren’t contributing as much. Just look around and see how many are just living in 5,000 baht rented accommodation and going around on cheap Honda Waves or just riding baht buses. Bulk of their spending would be at the cheap bars and that is hardly enough to even keep the bars afloat. 

Better than your Scoooooopy..........????

Wow! Thai apologist extreme. So you're not butthurt by being called a "F"&*ing white westerner" and blamed for the spread of coronavirus in Thailand? If you're so enamoured with ai Anutin why don't you take his advice and throw yourself out of Thailand?

 

 

 

 

To me, it seems that his effort to establish his superiority to white foreigners has only resulted in his inferiority complex becoming visible to all who care to look.

 

There just isn't any justification for poor behaviour like this. If Prayuth had any dignity or self-respect he'd sack this muppet but of course, he won't because he hasn't.

Note that he said "farangs like you who have and are invested in Thailand" so that's not him then.

 

Mixing with them? He is "them".

Maybe. But in my post, I said “I believe...”. Not an assertion of a fact, just an expression of opinion.

I've always maintained that the Thai superiority complex is born as a cover for their inferiority complex. Same as "little man syndrome" in the West.

Youd be surprised. A lot of guys up country live out in the villages. Set up nice homes. You dont see them in the cities too much and particularly in Pattaya. In any case, whatever this contribution might be wont be happening as it has in the future. Anyone remember the Phillipines back in the 70s 80s? It was the place to go. No one had hardly heard of Thailand. They adopted a similar arrogant attitude and lost the lot nearly overnight. Only starting to make a comeback now

I like Anutin. He has balls to say what Thais really think. They should make him government spokesperson. As for farangs, as he said, get the hell out.

We Farangs are not easy to understand for Thais. We always want that the government is honest. And if they are honest we complain too. ????

No he said "ai farang" which means "F*£?@ing white westerners". He also absolved all Asians from his comments.

This loud mouthed racist buffoon who handed out masks bare handed and then demeaned white people from the EU by spouting out open mouthed to the Media without a mask on needs to be slapped by the foreign community. He is nothing but a loud mouthed worm who thinks he is above everyone and I would hope the Foreigner world class GP riders boycott him and his Buriram track and pseudo fat headed competition. Health Minister I beg to differ.

Thanks for proving my point. Wearing masks in Hong Kong is a knee jerk reaction to Corona virus.

 

Take note of what he says at the begining of the video.

I don’t disagree with you. But for every farang that lives upcountry and built a house for his wife/gf/partner, how many are living in rented accommodation in Bangkok, Pattaya, CM, HH?

I give him 2 days and he will be removed from office and probably end up in some massage parlour.

You got to be kidding....I bet he gets a raise...

Yep, you're back in that corner 555. The phrase " ai farang" was heard in the original video. His apology has not been shown. No doubt he used the word "farang" again but was sensitively translated to "foreigner".

 

Would love to see an actual video of the "apology".

Very, very few. IME such farangs tend to return to their own countries when not living in the house that they had built.
