How Can We Educate Thais About The True Nature Of Farang?

[NoSpeakIt]

so we have all experienced the incorrect stereotypes and racism and classism towards ourselves and our Thai partners but how do we go about educating the Thai and especially the Thai-Chinese populations?

Once we educate ourselves and others about Thailand would be a first...

[farang555]

what they see is real! they already r educated of the ways of the farang! some good most bad :lol

many ez to take advantage of..............lol.

[qwertz]

Tell 'em nothing.

They already know too much about us.

[RakJungTorlae]

Chinese/Thais are more educated then most westerns here.

Ladies and gentlemen this is your captain speaking “RJT” we will be heading in to some turbulence soon so I advice you to get back to your seats and strap your selfs in, in the even of a crash landing I would then further advice you to pay no attention to this topic as we kiss it goodbye!

They already think we are trees.

We oxegenate Thailand with our Baht.

What further education is needed?

Tree climbing is one of the thai's favorite pasttime

Are you a fruit tree? Many thais seem to love picking fruits too, so I see.

i was in siam square with my dark skinned gf and these 2 14 or 15 year old Sino-Thais gave us a dirty look so I calmy walked up to them and asked if i was mistaken or not or did they give us a dirty look they just kept looking away like they thought i was a weirdo freak but i think they got the message and know now what is and is not acceptable and will probably tell their friends about it so thats 2 down

Probably when Farangs start having respect for Thailand, Probably start in Pattaya. I've seen on many occasions farangs speak to Thai's like there a peice of shit and because they are asian they better listen. Makes me want to kickbox them to the head. Also when it happens the other way around

Don - so, can I ask:- are you kick boxing/snap kicking Thais and falangs ?

Charter a C-130 and do a leaflet drop.

Don, I've been meaning to ask you, just in case I need it sometime, where did you do your rage

management therapy?

[farang555]

being mean to 14 15 yr old thais just reinforces the stereotpe of the farang and funky looking farm girl sir. would you have done that 2 burly thai men.......lol.

dude, farangs have a tendency to go for personality type girls, go with it!

[PeaceBlondie]

If I may be serious about the subject (may I?), the thought does cross my mind on odd-numbered Thursdays that immediately precede odd-numbered Fridays (such as next week). I have a burning desire, like temporary heartburn when I eat a chili, to educate every last Sino-Thai and a few Akha or Shan tribespeople, about the similarities between the Tex-Mex border and the Mex-Guat border. Or, to explain what our old Tex-Mex flaming gay friend is doing in Boston, translating French.

They do not care. Unless they know a farang closely, they have no need or desire to be educated about us. Some Thai educators (and I use that term loosely) would prefer to teach English without its accompanying culture. Who really needs to know that London is foggy, Florida is hot and humid, or the care and feeding of kangaroos?

They could get along without us, even without our money. They can sing "Got along without you before I met you; gonna get along without you now." The winter in Winnipeg is irrelevant. Of course, our loved ones love us, and need us and our money. The rest do not need to know the difference between bangers and Jimmy Dean sausage. Thais are nice, charming people who tolerate our idiosyncracies and our idiots. But they do not need lectures about lariats or cowboy hats.

What exactly is the correct stereotype for falangs/farangs, educate me and I'll tell the Thais.

Not too sure how to take that 'fruit' comment

But if some lady wants to play with my apples, she is more than welcome and I might even leave a 'deposit' behind

Nah, leaflets will merely be used as wrappers or, by the more enlightened, toilet paper. Without gratitude, I might add.

Best go with a drop, a learning tool, that's already been proven 100% efficacious for gettin' respect and ending illusions. Afterwards we farangs can make all kinds of needed reforms, too. We'll then be able to buy land, suffer no more double pricing, have tuk-tuk and baht bus drivers as honest as Tokyo taxi drivers, etc.

Nuke.

you really have too much time in hands....

and besides the fact that you made a fool of yourself, you did achieve absolutely nothing....

If you really believe that they will care about what you've done, you are in dire need of knowledge about this country.....

[TheDon]

The only way to really teach someone is to beat it into them. But I dont think we need to educate Thai's, they are fine, well most are that I know

What, when they kickbox you in the head you want to learn too?

Threatening teeny boppers, wow. You're certainly a champ and an example for all farang to set. I wonder if you go around telling people you're special forces in farang pubs too? You're a joke and a loser.

i have alerted a moderator to this thread. insults are not tolerated on this forum.

[farang555]

you start a thread like this and dont expect hostility..............oh lod!

[madjbs]

1st step would be to get rid of all the morons who unfortunately congregate at places like Nana and Pattaya, after those miscreants are removed, the rest should fall into place nicely.
