How have the farang expat demographics changed?

The hiking club I belong to has changed from almost all white to almost all Chinese.

The Chinese tend to be entire families, where the white folk were mainly single, or married to locals.

Last hike was 2 Brit guys, one Russian lady and about 20 Chinese.

CM Hiking Club?  Maybe I'll come to the next hike and alter the demographics. :wink:

    Well, if they don't open up soon, farang expats will start to get less as they die off and are not replaced.

  • over the years, the demographic turned from being older than me to younger than me

  • Same for me, nothing has changed really. I live in a very small village in rural Korat. The only thing that has changed in my life since last March is I'm just stuck here and can't really move. Normal

What an incredibly racist comment.  Hummm.  ????

 

I could post security videos of Chinese people pis$ing and spitting into the pool. They even s#!t in the bushes even though the toilet is ten metres away. This makes me racist? They behave like animals, I don't care what you think about that.

In the realm of teaching, the shortage of incoming farangs has shown some have come out of retirement, while many moved up to better schools. Then to fill the mid-level positions they left, more Filipinos were taken in to replace them, that perhaps would not have been considered before. Many other positions were simply left empty.

Yeah, I can see it. Offer my service to a school in Chiang Mai at close to 70.
"We pay 20,000 baht, but you too old.  Only 10,000 baht."
Me:  Eight years of teaching experience, three teaching as a NES in Thailand, can teach computer science as well as English - but keep your job.  I can't stand racists or age discrimination.

Not really, you can't ignore a socially inept and ignorant people by not saying it as it is.  Many times,  supposed 'racism', is just stating the obvious truth that some people don't want to hear pass their sensitive ears.  

Lots of late 60's to early 70's, Farangs getting all  tattooed up. Test' E and Kamagra sales must be through the roof.
