Bob reads Thai law in Thai! In fact, I think he authored most of it. Yeah, that's the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChaiyaTH Posted March 19 Popular Post Share Posted March 19 I have friends that are fluent in thai, written and spoken, and still are hassled by on purpose, specially if it is people who want to be special (stewardesses, officials, hotel manager girls etc), as they somehow wanna show off their english (which is super basic and <deleted> compared to their fluent bangkok thai). Same on the lower ends, like myself speaking “basic thai”, as soon they hear that or even a dating profile is 1 year existing, they dislike or hate you. its a country of superficial nonsense, pre judgements and xenophobia, sad but true. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that you were packing your bags and heading back to where you come from, what's the delay? Thailand is not for you. Good Bye He is actually quite optimistic as well as realistic, the issue is more with guys like yourself, sticking their head in the sand. however always amusing for me, freebie bored girlfriends and wives of those guys who stick their head in the sand as well… at least you can be proud on one thing; you are thai enough to only think black and white.

daveAustin Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Hating on farang that do Thai can happen, though as mentioned typically from scummy bar girl types that don’t want you understanding their derogatory bs. This scenario is a bit of a stretch and more believable if she just kicked you out for being a farang (with all the bad press we’ve been receiving of late). C’mon, Bob, what else happened, did you knock her food or grab her skirt perhaps? 😋 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said mate. Many members on here just dont wanna believe thats the case, they live their lives in a perpetual daydream, blissfully unaware of the true feelings of their hosts.. Thailand has a very dark underbelly. It is racist and xenophobic to the core! bob. Edited March 19 by bob smith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 What an absolutely bizarre story while I have no reason to question the veracity of the story it just makes one wonder why would this woman have been so offended at a foreigner who speaks Thai, and why she would be bad mouthing a patron. I know some Thai people are uncomfortable being around foreigners who speak Thai as we can understand what they're saying, and they end up getting busted from time to time! But this just a restaurant owner being offended by a patron speaking Thai. That's just incomprehensible, if it really happened, that was a very bizarre woman and moronic woman doesn't deserve any sort of support. If it were me I would go a step further and I would wage a social media campaign trying to give her a tarnished name. That is always fun, fun, fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presnock Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 10 hours ago, bob smith said: Today I was at a restaurant for lunch. I have been frequenting this place for a while, the waitresses were always very kind to me and I always tipped handsomely. That was until I met the owner this afternoon. she came in and smiled at me, and I said hello back to her in Thai. the smile soon disappeared. I could then hear her bad mouthing me in the back to her chef and waitresses. farang pood Thai mai Dee, farang kee nok, all the classic one-liners were coming out… Then she approached my table and told me if I speak Thai again in her restaurant that I should leave immediately and never come back. So I obliged. I paid what I owed (3 beers and a sandwich) said thank you in Thai (which really got her riled up) and left. This is not an isolated incident, I have had many people over the years tell me that foreigners who can speak Thai are no good, I am just shocked as they seemed like really nice people at first. bob. Strange for sure. I speak Thai always whenever I go anywhere. The response has always been more than pleasant. Sometimes, a cool reception changes immediately when I do speak Thai. My experiences only of course so that is why I find your experience in that business strange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry I had to write this and my apologies to others who are forced to read this but this poster has to be the " Bogan poster of 2024 award winner " SHU, every post in your bogan education has to call people "losers, mutts ,Dxckheads ,nearly every post of yours is berating others with swear words Now imagine yourself in a bar or gymto hear a elderly tattooed man ( TheShu) near you calling people "mutts" , you would expect it from a teenager but a old man ? So we can imagine what his upbringing was like I was in the gym yesterday where im sure I bumped into you ,every second word from the tattooed bogan next to me was swearing and berating others , he would of been the same age as The SHUin his 60's tattooed Aussie, certainly not muscular but shouting to his friend about others in the gym , luckily I had my headphones on , " Ahhh Fxck it mate " he was shouting , look at the Cxnts in here ! my first thought was The SHU SHU, Your uneducated and obviously brought up with low class parents in a government housing area ...i would hate to be around you listening to nothing but swearing and berating others ,must be fun been around you Edited March 19 by georgegeorgia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't hung around any of the bars here in over 20 years...but even in the days that I did, I never experienced anything negative with my speaking of Thai. I used to be fairly fluent 50 years ago after studying the language but then studied too many other languages before I retired here and all fluency was lost. I can carry on a conversation but if I think it is worth doing I usually apologize first for making any speaking errors. That always gets a laugh which shows that a conversation might be worthwhile. But that is just a personal experience, and I do not doubt that you feel slighted by that restaurant owner.

Popular Post ChipButty Posted March 19 Popular Post Share Posted March 19 I just put it down to them being thick, they should know many farang have been here years, The only time I did get offended was Nakorn Si Thammerat were i was to told to <deleted> off out of Thailand in Thai obviously, I used to like go in a bar and sit there listening to the gossip I cant do it where I live to many people know me or the wife, One of them will warn the others, be careful he speaks Thai or I have a Thai wife, Another time in a restaurant I use, and on the next table 4 of them were bang at it about how dangerous it was farangs speaking Thai, until I paid my bill and walked past them and spoke Thai to them, Idiots 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat is a type of crazy Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Let us assume it happened and you are a long term customer who tips well. It might have been that something else tipped her over the edge. I could imagine if a customer was loud or obnoxious or seemed drunk slurring their words or was poorly dressed or flirted with the staff inappropriately she may have had enough and she was looking for an opportunity to get rid of them. Doubt these would apply to you though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance a Thai would throw you out of there resturant for saying hello in Thai. He's either making it up or did or said something else to an employee that caused it.
