The Farang You Meet In Thailand

[game4shame]

He sits slumped in his computer chair and spills coffee onto his shirt. It is already stained and hasn't been washed in a month, so he makes no effort to clean it up. Thaivisa is opened on his desktop and he clicks general. He opens various threads on sin sot and why thai women are better than western women as he shoves left over mr.donuts into his mouth and wipes powdered sugar in his hair. he hits fast reply "My wife and I love eachother very much and I assure you that even though I am twice her age, she is not at all interested in my money." He pauses as he feels some flatulence coming on. He continues, "I paid a million baht in sin sot because I want to honor Thai tradition and it makes me happy to help her family." He is your average thai visa user!

some good stuff in this thread.

He gets onto the skytrain and checks his hair in the mirror. Every strand is perfectly placed. He is dressed immaculately and the young girls standing across from him giggle and smile in his direction. At the next station, more young girls get on and also smile at him and look in his direction. He sees one who is perfect and they both happen to exit at the next station where he gets her telephone number and sets up a date. She attends Chula like many of the girls who get off at Siam station. Everyday he goes out and fights off the millions of young thai girls who find him irresistible because he is young, rich and handsome. He is farangnoi21, the kind of farang we can be proud of.

it happens to you too?

He can be spotted sloppily dressed in a cheap suit on the skytrain and needs a shave. He stares indescretely at every woman on the skytrain while licking his lips before he gets off at Nana or Asoke. He is Mr. Sexpat.

He is dressed for the beach and has his arm wrapped around a Thai girl one third of his size and age as they bounce onto the skytrain and off at National Stadium for some shopping. On the escalator he plants a big fat kiss on her. He ends up getting into a fight on the fourth floor over the price of bootlegged dvds. He is Mr. Sex Tourist.

From the moment you meet him, he tries hard to teach you about Thailand. He prides himself on his knowledge of Thai culture and his ability to interact with Thais. None of the Thais he talks to seem very interested in him, nor does he seem to be an expert on Thai language. Everything he says sounds like something someone else told him sitting on a bar stool. He is over weight, dresses sloppy and needs a hair cut. He is Mr Indiana Jones Thailand.

You will see this farang surrounded by a group of Thais dressed funny in a Tesco Lotus. There are eyes move around as they walk as if it is a foreign experience for them. He holds the hand of a young woman young enough to be his daughter and nibbles at her neck when no one is looking. It becomes obvious that these other Thais are her family members. Mom looks at the refrigerators while Dad looks at the washers. Her five brothers examine the televisions. He is Mr. Newlywed.

He is very thin and dresses politely. Unlike the other farang in Thailand, he doesn't get super paranoid when you look in his direction in fear of social interaction. He approaches you with ease and wants to know if you have saved your soul. Yes, even in Thailand you can't escape the God Freaks. He is Mr Jesus Freak.

So which one of these type of dirtbags are you ?

Or is your visit still in the planning stages....

Thank You...

Oh so healthy in his body and his mind"

Can someone help with the rest of the lyrics, no time to finish...

I thought you meant this one, but was mistaken, not bad though, quite fitting in some respects.

Looks like a description of someone who thinks he knows it all and can sit in judgement on those that dont follow his fashion

He thinks he is a flower to be looked at,

And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight,

He feels a dedicated follower of fashion.

Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).

There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery.

One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he is in stripes.

'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.

Maybe I missed it, but when does how much you spend equate how well a vacation went?

acq said it was fun but he spent too much money, not it was fun because he spent too much money.

anyway, back on topic........

[thaiclan]

He has spent many years prowling the nightlife areas, gets to know lots of the Gals and their stories and whilst he likes most of them he is well aware of his status as a customer - but is happy to play the game safe in the knowledge that he is never going to fall for a BG, after all they are great drinking buddies in a Bar but it is simply incomprehensible to him that any sane man would want to marry a hooker ......and he finds it amusing when others do fall hook line and sinker for a BG especially after a 2 week holiday or when he is with her in a ST hotel......and loves to swap stories with Farang and BG alike about idiot Farangs on holiday.

And then one day he realises that he has fallen for a woman who works in a Bar, not quite sure how it has happened - but not to worry she is not just a hooker and in any case he has been around long enough to know what he is doing, unlike the other Farangs. and in any case he long ago stopped caring what others think.

He is Mr "Mine is Different" Farang

Excellent! Spot on. Its amazing all my guy farang friends always meet the "special" one, the "different" one. As soon as they say "I met someone" I'm on auto pilot now..."don't tell me...she's SPECIAL" aaahhhhh

The idea that all Thai women are the same is very derogatory. People are individuals with different goals and motivations. The fact that some westeners see Thai women as lacking individuality makes it easy for them to treat them like sex toys. Everyone is unique and special.

It disturbs me that westerners who seem to have acquired their knowledge while sitting on a barstool can claim to know all about Thai women.

Who are you calling very thin?

[FarangNoi21]

these are getting published (with some fine tuning) in next Tuesday's bangkok post.

[Acquiesce]

he is young, rich and handsome. He is farangnoi21, the kind of farang we can be proud of.

Is this the same rich FarangNoi21 who started a thread asking where to buy cheap Indian food because the food from the emporium was to expensive?

Keep the dream alive Rockefeller.

this thread can only bother you if it hits close to home.

(runs and hides)

Yes your right your post hits very close to home ha ha ha its the prick next door and his only interest is the thai dog waiting out the front .

wow, this is the fifth or sixth dig you've taken in the same thread , my posts most really bother you. FWIW, i dont think you should be ashamed if you fit into one of these categories. You should learn some humility, stop taking yourself so seriously, and let go of your ego a bit. Take a long look in the mirror and you will see why we are laughing. Ok?

LOL. you know nothing about me, though should we ever meet you would. Though i'm confident you and i move in very different circles and keep very different company. I'm sure i personaly don't know any farang here who would consider Indian food from the emporium as expensive.

Trust me, i'm not one of the people you meet.

[FarangNoi21]

it is so funny that you criticize me for pigeon holing you, yet that is exactly what you are doing to me, right?

you say i dont know anything about you, what do you know about me? don't be such a hypocrite kid.

[FarangNoi21]

btw, there is a difference between something being expensive and being over priced. indian food in bangkok is over priced.

[mrtoad]

Yes, Indian food and quality is overpriced in Bangkok. Just got back from S'pore and the difference is massive, and S'pore is not known for being cheap in SEA.

[Grover]

I think farangnoi21 is writing some very funny comedy. Keep it up! Having a good chuckle. Inside every stereotype is a shred of truth.

agree, except for the one about himself. That was pure fantasy.

yes, it can be had cheaply in hong kong too around TST and of a better quality than bangkok.

[JimsKnight]

Farang I don't reckon the Bangkok Post will touch your material with a barge pole. The reason - It's too negative and, well it just seems too stereotypical as well as anti farang. Maybe the BKK Metro will be interested?

[FarangNoi21]

im having brunch with kitty kat. she is promising me the cover of next month's issue.
