Those who have their bodies fully covered in tattoos are generally to be avoided.

Orange, pink, blue, green hair colors as well.

I had a really drunk guy come up to me asking for 5 Baht. Sth like "can you spare 5 baht? anything?" 

Not sure if he was messing with me or just drunk out of his mind and didn't even know what he was saying or if he was literally broke because he blew his life savings on lady drinks. 

 

 

So did you give him 5bt?

I must say that I used to be really amazed and bewildered at the love Europeans have for their football .   Such patience !   Then i think i found the answer :   it must be akin to the average male's  propensity in those populations , for spending hours trying to score with the opposite sex and alas ........ going home emptyhanded.    A few tantalizing close calls... but just a slight headache and dirty uniform to show for one's efforts .

There's still hope for you then, if not, just take matters into your own hand.

No, never run into these types and never hang out at bars.

   You don't go and watch football JUST to watch goals being scored 

 

by George you're right !   i did go recently and was really impressed hearing this rather loud, inebriated group yelling something about how the specific type of spin determines how the ball's trajectory is affected due to aerodynamic forces !

 

i can also understand why the announcer yells  "  gooooooooooooooooooaaaaalllllll"  for a minute or two .     Hell...... only happens once or twice in 2 hours .

Football is a bit more complex than basketball and baseball , or Rounders and Netball as we call them in the UK , games for girls

Guys who cant speak thai

- Those who claim to speak Thai, but have a vocabulary of about 50 words and a pronunciation so bad no Thai can understand them, which makes them horribly upset.

 

- Basement dwellers who's only life is posting short and pointless posts on a forum.

 

-Anti-vaxxers.

 

-Those who can't stop talking s**t about Thais and Thailand

How much Thai do we need? Maybe enough to be polite.

 

I don't speak Thai more than 50 words -a conscious decision- but seem to get on OK. My Indonesian is better but that is not saying much. Village head is friendly, wife's friends are friendly, Can go shopping for everything I want. A hand drawn picture or a photos works wonders. 

 

Restaurant menus can be a challenge and when a so called Thai speaking farang tries to help it usually just adds a layer of confusion. Google is your friend.

 

I can't understand adverts on the BTS or on YouTube etc. I count that as a bonus.

 

I suppose I should learn Thai for "I'm sorry I don't speak Thai"

No, maybe baseball is more complex. 

I used to follow a talk show guy talking about baseball. There's a lot of strategy involved, especially the pitchers.

If you know what you're talking about, it can be interesting.

But the average fan maybe over-estimates themselves.

And I don't watch sports enough anymore to analyze anything.

I don't criticize expats who cannot speak Thai, that was Harrisfan/Susan, who thinks she can speak Thai with her 48 word vocabulary.😆

This guy who posted the toxic expats video is the same guy who made the animation about Dave and Nat, a farang who was taken to the cleaners by his bargirl gf NAT.

Well,  let me tell you .  The guy(s)  who made this video can include themselves in the infamous rumak society ( very limited membership ) .

 

I can not say that i found it funny ( though i love humor) ........ it was just too damn accurate !

 

very good post  ....

Way too many hypocrites here.  They judge others for their "different lifestyle" because they are enjoying the company of various women.  Yet, they are married to a bargirl.

 

Married to the cashier dammit! Never went with man, understand?!

Hey! I'll have you know some of my best friends are masochists.

Most will disagree with me - but I am too old and sick to care.

 

Sad to say, too many toxic expats in Thailand; the people you left your homeland to avoid are here in droves.

 

I have a few farang friends (most of whom I have know for several decades), and a few more farang acquaintances; most of my good friends in Thailand are Thais.

Americans like to talk about how much money they're making, while living in the cheapest accommodation and driving the cheapest scooter.

Most here on AN I reckon belong to the special first (non) class.

Not me.

Me too, but that's simply because I'm the only white Farang in my village.  Thus, I don't experience any of these issues being discussed.
