bendix Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Walking around the streets of Bangkok, I am increasingly alarmed at the increasing number of stray farangs I see about the place. Now, you know me. I'm a live and let live type of guy, but surely something can be done to help these people. It's sad to see them - wandering aimlessly, bereft of direction, often in a sickening physical condition. Just this morning I saw one with his head split open. Unlike canuckumuck's experience with a soi dog, I couldn't see any brain inside. He did, though, have a half-drunk bottle of beer chang in his hands. So what is the right approach? Should we do something about it and, if so, what? Or should we pay more heed to Jet Gorgon's approach and adopt a more 'mai pen rai' approach?

wolfmanjack Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) I would like to vote twice. I voted to liberalize the visa rules so more could come but would like to send the degenerates to Pattya as a new detention center for degenerate falangs. Also making those that want to visit the rest of thailand get an internal movement visa or permit as a new requirement.

qwertz Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Round 'em up, incarcerate 'em. Lowering the tone of the place. Bloody troublemakers all of 'em P.S. The farangs, Jet, not the dogs.

PhilHarries Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I prefer a combination of the Pattaya FDC and the humane approach. Put the FDC in the sleazy guesthouse next door to MTW and between her, her dogs and her bf they'll either leave Thailand voluntarily with a week never to return or the bf and his heavies will feed them to the crabs.

qwertz Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi. I'm quertz and I'm a decrepit old Mancunian farang fart fallen on hard times. I have been recently neutered, I am fully housetrained and do not support ManU. I can clean pools, sweep yards, wok your dogs and I promise your geraniums will never look back after a session with me. I need only a dry place to sleep, food is not an issue as I can catch and kill my own and need only the use of your microwave and a smidget of spice. So don't tell me I'm not as good as some Thai bum. Gizza job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinthee Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I voted for MTW's boyfriend, but would have voted for MTW herself if an option. A fake gun or two might get them off the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnyJ Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I really don't understand the term 'stray farang', to me it equals a backpacker or just a tourist. If one would be lurking 'round my shady soi at night I would probably use the same method as with dogs (holding at least some weighty piece of wood). The communication part would be much easier though, likes what you bout here or fancy a beer... What your test's statistics show Bendix is that this is no place for future stats experiments. I don't even know what we re talking here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
