Thais holding their noses when foreigners walk by.

Featured Replies

Has anyone else noticed an increase in this recently?

 

I took a walk through the park this morning and 3 older thai women held a tissue up to cover their nose when I was walking past them.

 

Then as I looked back over my shoulder they removed the tissue and carried on walking as normal.

 

I have noticed it numerous times over the past few weeks when out and about,

mostly women without a mask will cover their mouth with their hand or a tissue when they see a foreigner approaching them,

then when they pass they will remove their hand/tissue.

 

It’s strange behavior to say the least…

Yep, seen it myself, just yesterday a pal and I had it happen in an outside coffee shop.

We walk past a table of Thais, and they all pull their masks up.

I blame Anutin for telling them foreigners are all disease carriers.

That just isnt true.

 

This morning I have showered, am dressed in my sunday best and wearing an expensive cologne. 

 

They are absolutely terrified of us foreigners, thats why they do it.

Always been the norm here. I remember first arrived 30 years ago, and you heard Thais muttering about "AIDS" when a foreigner walked past.

It's just how the domestic population is kept in check and poor, by their 'leaders' blaming all Thailand's ills on outside influences and loose Western morals, etc.

It's maybe even worse now as the once vibrant and relatively free Thai press and media has been taken over by military and Govt influence since the last coup.

No, it’s absolutely true. She says “all farang smell bad” I think it’s because many farangs eat dairy products and produces a foul smell. We were at maeka last year and a large family of Northern Europeans had a horrific stench, she said same smell but very very bad.

you should take this as a compliment. as a free thinking person you are aware enough to make your own choices through deductive reasoning. thai on the other hand. sigh. 

 

i see thai pull up their mask all the time when i approach. i giggle like a school girl now at them. think of how sad their lives must be conforming to their masters. 

 

in fact walking through the mall yesterday i looked at all of them wearing their masks in various forms and felt a sadness. the best is when they have a dirty nasty mask they been wearing for like 5 months. 

 

ewwwwww.

You haven't been down to a 7Eleven or corner store lately... or a supermarket. They all have an extensive supply of dairy products. Thais consume quite a lot of dairy if they can afford it.

You could always try wearing a mask yourself. That could help.
