Next Generation of Expats

[LaosLover]

In America, much less taste for Thailand for GenX and below. They prefer Mexico.

 

In my Thai language class, it's 50% S.Asian, Other Asian, Middle East.

 

Are we but wooly mammoths before the fall into the tarpit? 

 

What does the demographic look like living here in 20 years?

I think with the forthcomming immigration rules all the broke-racist-drunks could be out.

Impossible to forecast 20 years ahead. Tell me how many Communist 5-year plans actually worked as intended.

I don't know about America. Given what is happening in Australia, IMO it's quite possible the influx from there will increase.

I am currently in Australia, and I am heartily sick of the sight of fat bums on women.

Really, are you worried about your future then..........?   ????

[ChaiyaTH]

People always liked Mexico, same people in UK and Europe love Spain. This has zero to do with Thailand or it's expat niche, next generations or the future.

No need to feel concerned or offended, nobody was pointing a finger at you.

I do not feel offended, I just know that people like you, pointing fingers at others, are the worst of all in Thailand. Everyone agrees. You even judge a group that's mainly repeating tourists.

I’m from the US, the USA or the United States, not America. We don’t call it America in the USA. That could be Canada, or even South America.

 

Start naming things correctly so people talk correctly and it does not sound strange to an American like your talking from a textbook or a history book.

 

Out of curiosity where are you from in the US? You talk kind of strange.

 

Your right about the younger generation. SE Asia and Thailand is old school now. I think it always kind of was. For younger expats I thought it was mostly backpackers and gap year’s. People that wanted to do Thailand, maybe Vietnam, get a little grungy, then fly home and finish that Ivy League degree.

You have a zany hard on about this. Suspected diagnosis: Trump Trash.

 

But I like your posts, so I was raised in the New York area and lived all over Uh-murr-ika. Uh-murr-ika is a world wide-loved brand, much more than America is.

 

When I was raised, calling America America was very much part of the vernacular: that song in West Side Story, Ray Charles's huge version of the song, Hits' by Neil Diamond and Jay and the (dare I say it?) Americans.

 

And let's not forget Lee Greenwood, who wrote the Trump Trash national anthem.

 

Why you think calling America America is some kind of slight or diss is by no means anything you should feel the need to rush to explain.

My dear fellow if you cannot argue without getting rude how can we take you seriously ? At best you'll end up in many ignore lists too.

As long as you have social media spewing the silliness ...

... OMG ... TH is cheap paradise, meals cost ฿30, beach bungalows ฿500, people will still be planning the 'expat' experience on the low end budget of existence.

 

Then reality, inflation, and staying here legal will hit, so in 20 years, nothing will change.   

 

As they will become the new, skint, soon to be, old, grumpy AN members, warning everyone not to come, blaming TH for their woes, when safely back in their home country.

Actually, “America” is a trump trash type of thing to say. “Making America Great Again!” Type of thing.

 

Its basically over patriotism.

How do you describe yourself in Thailand? Do you say from the States? Also, Euro's think of me as American. Euro's and Oz is 95% of what I meet over here.

 

But you come from a real place. You can just say San Fran, like I say, Greenwich Village. I don't even have to say New York.

Ignorance is Bliss

 

The Americans consists of about 35 countries, and it's mind boggling that USA, is called America, and citizens of, Americans.

 

Like asking a Brit where he/she/it, is from, and getting Europe as an answer. ????

Nobody calls it “San Fran”.

 

I’m calling you out. I don’t think your American. Sorry, enjoy Laos buddy!

My forecast:  The next generation of expats will be even fatter.  And more American men will become passport bro's.

 

Saw an article the other day that Korean Air will be weighing passengers for a couple of weeks to rejigger the country's weight and balance tables for airline safety.  The most disturbing paragraph was the last one that said the average American woman weighs 170 lb.  That's truly scary.

 

The article was on RT and I'm not going to provide a link because I suspect it's frowned on as a source.  Easy to find, though.  And CDC data matches pretty closely...

What if I can get posters in good standing here (like that even exists) to verify my irrepressible American-ness? What then?

 

Who would willingly pretend to be an American in a place where most of the other white people pretty much view Americans as a joke?
