How's the weather?

Fine, nice and cool in Chiang Rai. Haven't used the aircon for two months. To quote Frank Burns from M*A*S*H, I'm only paranoid because everyone's against me.

You are wicked, dragging me even further off the thread.

OK, bought it off a Brit with 83,000 on the odometer. 230,000 baht. Now 14 years old. He may well be regretting the decision to sell, as he was replacing it with a new Ford. One of my better buys in Thailand.

Now has 165,000 on the odometer, has never missed a beat. Doesn't have ABS, my generation knows how to drive cars without it.

Now can we pretty please get back on topic?

I find that many of the westerners I come across have some quirks about them, or are total nutcases to be honest... Not all, but many... Thailand is a place for many misfits..

Yea, and they all seem to live in northern Thailand, it must be the heat up here.

[The Theory]

Being a farang does not mean that you deal with a reasonable person. A junkie or trash could be from any nation with or without family in Thailand.

Believe it or not, I have met a retired guy who said he was part of the protection detail of the UK Royal Family. I believed him, very fit looking.

Quite polite and affable, the guys who are the genuine article don't need to prove anything to anybody.

Not really a big assumption , anymore.

 Because , there are,  impotent farlangs, in the World's largest Brothel.

"Misfits" might be too strong a word. But yes many came because they believed some bargirl would fill the emptiness of the 50 or 60 years of their previous lives.

That would be “bargirls” not bargirl and they do wake you up from your zombie state of mind. ???????????????????????????? to each his own but I like to eat different flavors.  We all spend our short time on this planet by the choices we make and Nan, Pim, Pan, .......were all good choices.

Evidently my post #97 went straight through to the wicketkeeper. Refer my post #99, trolls get the same treatment.

I was first here in 1974... a young backpacker amidst a handful of others here and there... a round the world journey for myself and many of us... we were young and curious and looking to experience and learn from and about other cultures. If you saw another farang, you both stopped and said hello, exchanged information [no internet] and travel tips and advice.

 

Fast forward to today and all the ways the world has changed. So many farang here, varying reasons and I am afraid that the least of which is cultural curiosity. Not being polite seems more and more a way of the Western World... 

 

That said, I do meet some interesting farang here and there... but mostly, am comfortable w/my wife's large family and the Thai people I know... 

 

unfortunately, it seems the world is flat and we are sailing off the edge... happy trails to you and don't let the many jerks out there get to you... be thankful you have a village.

I don't let anyone, Thai, or otherwise cut in front of me unremarked.

"Because it's their country" is a very weak excuse and doesn't excuse that kind of behaviour.

I simply walk right on top of them without slowing down ????

[Nanaplaza666]

Deutsh or german there was nothing dutch about him i presume . You where in the Netherlands where dutch people live(and many other nationalities) . I bet this guy asked you to speak Deutsh another word for German . Sprechen si Deutsh .

People like him need to be put in their place because otherwise they’ll never learn!

I prefer animals to people, they are always nice, and they don't think I'm stupid.

Well at least, I don't think they do.

I don't get stressed about Thais pushing in front of me, it's their country, some are ignorant

If anyone ever pushes in front of me they hear about it, I don't care who they are or where they come from, I don't allow it.

There can be only one farang per hundred square kilometer. It's a turf thing, we're territorial.

I'm older.  I find it hard to mark out even a few thousand square meters of my territory these days.

According to some posters here, I should have decked the guy for his impertinence. Then spent some time in an IDC prior to deportation, at least my honor would have been intact. One thing I have learned from this thread is muscle and brains are rarely combined successfully, another is posters can be gratuitously rude from behind a keyboard.

Let's explore this:

 

1.  farangs can't work here, except as a worthless English teacher and the farang will know they are worthless

 

Where do you get this idea? 

I have worked in Thailand as an Engineer and have met allot of expats that are not teachers and are working in Thailand.
