I guess this is the legacy of social media. People like him drive away new users by deriding them for not knowing or simply having a different opinion. People post questions or statements because sometimes they are new to Thailand and he jumps in with insults mocking them. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thais pushing in front of foreigners I have experienced, heard of happening, and it fits in with how Thais treat foreigners. Selective perception. I certainly have. I noticed the breaking in line at the banks soon as I moved to Thailand. My gf at the time confirmed it happens to her sometimes and is common. She figured the line-breakers have a more urgent need. Thais don't get particularly upset about it, of course. It's rather common among Asians. I first noticed it among the Chinese in San Francisco. A later visit to Hong Kong really opened my eyes. And don't get me started on Japanese obasan, "old grannies," who'll cut you off in the supermarkets and snatch something off the shelf while you're reaching for it. I joked w/ a Japanese friend that the obasan need to attend a special charm school. He laughed and revealed that the obasan are a protected class, rather like the old bigots on this forum, long as they don't use their fave racial slurs. Years ago the slurs used to be permitted, but the rules changed for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravip Posted Saturday at 03:36 AM Share Posted Saturday at 03:36 AM I am British, trying to become a more chilled-out Thai. Try to be a more chilled-out Brit. Will make life more happier in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's a head in the sand thing. This time that wasn't the case though. Thais are in fear of the language barrier - Why? In their own country? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangkokReady Posted Saturday at 05:54 AM Share Posted Saturday at 05:54 AM 18 hours ago, ChrisKC said: I prefer to controlling myself when matter as these, while disrespectful, I do not consider as a "problem" I need to address or solve; there is no need for me to "call them out" and chance a confrontation, with whoever they are! I do not disrespect others so I am never a problem to them! Some things taught to us as kids do not belong in the realms of mature adults - no need for revenge to accommodate our principles that could easily lead to something more difficult to deal with. So the "mature response" is to allow others to treat you badly whilst being careful not to annoy them? Obviously it's up to you if you want to live this way, and I'm sure you have a great deal of patience and humility, but you must be able to understand that a lot of people don't share this outlook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not save yourself stress by simply assuming that you're always in the wrong and don't know what's what? It will be true 98% of the time. As to the other 2%, you live like an Aztec God compared to these sweet, poor people. You fly in a chair through the sky whenever you want to (thank you, Louis CK).

Similar thing happened to me in the bank and the lady rudely asked the cashier why she was attending to a farang instead of her. The cashier just replied that my queue ticket was before hers. Old lady angrily stormed off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
