Popular Post jctv1944 Posted March 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2020 please let me ask you a question. My ex thai girlfriend told me that apartments here in Chiang Mai will not rent to a farang if he is single and older than 70 years old. Have you heard anything about that? Thanks, JCicero 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted March 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2020 Got to love the absolute tosh some Thai birds pass off to their fella’s..... even funnier when the fellas are so ‘lost’ in a foreign country they can’t distinguish the difference between some good old fashioned proper bovine manure and cultural oddity.... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgrahmm Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I've heard that said about buying vehicles on a payment contract at age 70.....Probably because if the worse took place, the vehicles probably disappeared..... Never heard it applied to renting..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is most likely a policy that landlords could choose and enforce if they wanted to. It is likely that some have already done so. But many, probably most have not.

NancyL Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 It's up to the landlord. Some buildings won't rent to foreigners of any age because they don't want to file TM30s and disclose that they have tenants. These same building owners collect the rent as cash and probably aren't disclosing their full income on their tax returns. Indeed, some landlords don't want to rent to single, older, foreign males because of concerns that they'll get sick and die in their units, but it isn't a "rule" in Chiang Mai. Others specialize in older, foreign renters. Check out http://www.wellnessresidencechiangmai.com/ They specifically cater to older, foreign renters. When I toured the place a few months ago, they proudly told me of just renting to a new tenant -- an 85 year old European man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teak Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 A Farrang friend returning from Vietnam and Cambodia (to Thailand) sent photos to me...."No Foreigners allowed" in restaurants , hotels etc. The 'Chinese virus' is now the 'Farrang virus'. It is comfortabe to blame the 'others'. Only the foolish remain where they are not wanted. In North America, it is the Chinese (Asian appearing) virus. My ex Thai wife, (and friend) living in Canada, for nearly 20 years (in a small town) says people cross the street when she approaches. Thais avoid Caucasions, due to the 'virus'. Caucasions avoid Asians due to the virus. We simply ignore that we are all simply humans and are ultimately the same. I would not want to be in Thailand and request a visa extension. Good luck to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to you all. I was confronted by the neighbour the other day, that corona was the falang virus! Because the first one they know who died of it, came with bus from Bangkok, and was from Belgium. I just replied if she knew where Wuhan is, and who brought it to Thailand, and she cut me off, that now it was falang who spread it. Well, everyone was scared of me, and they looked angry at me, until I obeyed, and put a mask on. Now im okay. So just put a philty useless mask on, and you will be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other white people in the video also must be sick and spreading COVID-19, supposedly. This only bolsters the idea that foreigners brought the disease here--which is pretty much true, really--and many of those foreigners were Chinese. Thai people returning from abroad most likely also contributed to the pandemic. But why feed into the anti-foreigner attitude that many more Thai are now embracing? Maybe I'm over reacting, but can there be no footage of a Thai person sneezing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can understand the pic when we see dirty drunk falang in the tourist areas, and it is easy to understand the anger, as we back home are angry at surten immigrants as well that do not fit in our system and our culture.
