I would have to say the English for our sense of humour which is so close to sanook, but then the hooligans let us down.

The hooligans let themselves down and are useful in exposing anyone as being an idiot; i.e. someone who tars us all with the same brush.

Have you never been referred to as a hooligan just because your british and you like a beer or two? I have

eeeerrrrrr............NO

I have asked this question of a lot of Thai people

Aussies are the ones they like the most as the "She'll be right" attitude is more in line with their own views.

If you were German they would say the Germans are best.

If you were from Venus they would say Venusians were best.

It's called walking the middle path.

Rocket Science it ain't.

Actually I am English living in Australia.....kinda blows that theory out the window.

The perfect type of westener would be someone that could help Thais and Thailand like Jim Thompson did for the Silk Industry.

Yeah and what happened to him?

Nobody knows. If they do, they're not talking.

BTW - who killed Kennedy?

Kennedy?

you think who killed him is here in Thailand right now - and is the best or what?

No, no!! He shot himself! He WAS the second gunman on the grassy knoll, which, incidentally, lies adjacent to and up the road from the Texas Book Depository, Doctor Pat; which was where Oswald was shooting from. Red Dwarf, series 7 - Tikka to Ride.

A definate dying breed for sure, the Modern English gentleman is to be found covered in tattoos with a skinhead haircut, wearing ridiculous clothes and a pair of reeboks, and has a tendency to call everybody a 'Fakkin wa.nker' !

Very suave and sophisticated..........yea right.

Bring back National Service!!!

Another sweeping statement with no facts attached to it. Obviously been spending too much time in the Pattaya GO GO bars doing your 'non participating reference only' visits. NHC

Actually, its a pity JFK's hands werent tied behind his back. We could all sleep well then knowing it was a suicide.

Wannabe DJs (who DON'T have Green Door by Shakin' Stevens in their collections )

We're not all perfect you know.

Over recent weeks theres been posts slating Backpackers, Hippies, Sex Tourists, Package Tourists, Expats, Sexpats, English Teachers, Fat White Plonkers, Snobby RBSC members, Wannabe Snobby Golfers, Wannabe DJs (who DON'T have Green Door by Shakin' Stevens in their collections ), Americans, imaginary ex SAS Members, real ex SAS members and Camilla Parker Bowles.

Its left me wondering just what type of Westerner is the perfect Westerner for Thailand, and do they really exist? More importantly who amongst us fits the bill?
