More Immigration shenanigans 90 report

[Thingamabob]

Back in the mid to early 1960s American soldiers, well-behaved and polite, began to arrive in Pattaya, and in Bangkok and some other cities. They joined the well-to-do foreigners who were resident or visiting, and who could afford the costs involved in travelling to Thailand. Then cheap flights emerged, and everything changed. Shabby, I'll mannered foreigners began to arrive in great numbers. The older foreigners, who were already in the country. wanted nothing to do with them. To this day that still applies, and not only in Pattaya.

No need any study to analyze 😁

Its good to see you acknowledge what you are doing on your few times a year visit. It is disgusting, you are so right.

'Disgusting' ? Revolting, in my opinion...

Up here in the North when out shopping occasionally my wife will see another farang. 
🙋‍♀️"Oh look honey, a farang!"
"What would you like me to do.  Go give him the 'secret farang handshake?'" 

I'll give a farang guy a nod and a smile as that just considered "friendly" by US Southern Eastern Seaboard standards.  But I don't go around striking up conversations with guys just because they are farangs.

Well you bloody should !

Don't be a party pooper ,be a extrovert

I'd say compared to the expat crowded we have in Bangkok that is pretty much a good mix of all kinds of people, what stands out in Pattaya is the prevalence of the "bitter old cnut" type of expat who's usually retired, underfunded due to divorce(s) and or vice(s) - and often alcoholic to top things off.

Utter nonsense, especially the enormous sample of 2.

Unfortunately, many farang are just wrecks standing on their last leg here in Thailand, especially in Pattaya and Sukhumvit soi 11.
A real embarrassment to all the decent farangs out there.

May the stink by with him. Live long and smell.

I think thats a valid point...   [interacting with other foreigners / Westerners just because they are also foreign / Western]...

... If there is a natural conversation point, why not, of course...  but otherwise... speaking with people we dont know, nope... that just odd....  but if eye contact is made there is nothing wrong with a nod, but that is for anyone regardless of nationality etc.... I often catch eye contact with other Thai guys, I give a nod and they nod back... nothing more to it. 

 

A few weeks ago I was at EmSphere looking at the cars...  Another Westerner there (Eastern European I think), started talking to me, we were both interested in the car and talked for about 10mins, about the car....  pleasant enough chappy, pleasant enough converstation - just a human interaction, not forced or ignored...  I never got the other fella's name - there was no need for that...  nevertheless, there was no need to ignore him because I didn't know him, neither was there any need to over-indulge in the converstation...   we had our little chat about the car and were both on our way....

 

 

 

 

I will never understand why people use the confused or sad emoji on nice posts like this and your previous one.
