Thailand to Implement 300-Baht Tourism Tax Starting with Air Travel

[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.

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.
