Who's The Strangest Farang You Ever Met?

[eek]

Few years ago,in LOS for holidays,i was in Chiang Mai,hanging around bars and discos at night,when i met a French guy and start to talk with him.He sounded quite interesting,well travelled and cultured,so i really enjoyed the conversation for one hour or more.At some point we started talking about sex,and he told me about a story he had with a very young girl in Nepal.I was probably looking completely astonished,as it was the first (and the last)time i talked to a paedophile;so,after trying to convince me that that was an extreme pleasure,he shouted "you're insane!" in my face,and abruptly walked away,leaving me scratching my head..

I guess ill get slammed for this..but personally i would have tried to get more details from him in the hope that i could get some incriminating evidence. I realise its tricky in the sense that you wouldnt wish to be caught up and accused of being a paedophile yourself, but I would try to strike up a friendship and say it was something id like to know more about, where to go etc. If he was willing to meet me again I would then register with a local child protection agency and tell them I am trying to gain some trust/evidence. The very least i would do would give a description of him to a child protection agency as a heads up (again i realise that people can give false reporting, and that is very sad, but i still think it would have been better reported). Its is very unlikely it will be a one time thing for him and who knows how many children he has gone on to abuse since your meeting with him.

Where do i start ..there have been so many, one day a friend and i had just eaten in foodland and were saying farewell in the car park when a farang in a corolla drives in ,window down shouting and cussing for no reason we could see, he did 3 laps of the car park and drove off !,....another is that guy with speakers standing about 6 feet high on the back of his bike with flowers and tinsell or such like, but yes pattaya does have some very odd people,

A few years ago I taught an Irish guy to dive. When I asked what he did for a living back home he replied " I rob banks " he had just robbed one and was here on the proceeds. He evidently did this often. He also travelled everywhere with a full leprechaun fancy dress outfit. He said everywhere he went some bar always had a fancy dress party and he always won. He was right. That week one of the bars had one and he indeed did win. I also got a good tip and a bottle of irish whisky

I hope "the tip" wasnt rob a bank, and you did one dunc !

I find it really strange when I meet some random drinker in a pub who isn't ex SAS, RAF or CIA.

I remeber overhering one guy on an aeroplane to Bangkok chatting up the chinese girl next to him 'oh I really don't want to tell you about my job, it's embarassing.' he kept saying., she asked him again 'Well, I work as a Firman' he said 'I save children from burning buildings.' Needless to say he scored that night.

Some of the strangest farangs I've seen are those that cycle on push bikes through Isaan asking if there are any hotels where they can stay for 30bT a night.

Talking about Aussies. Not all of the weird ones are in Thailand. Plenty more here now!

Well eek,i share your concern about the lowlives,and the damage they do to innocent children.Personally i compare these crimes to murders,but in that case i didn't feel to be in the position to do something about it.Just feel sad about..

I posted this topic on another board. Hope the mods don't mind. Just love reading peoples experiences when encountering strange/scary farangs. ........ for maker" I do a quick "thanks for the offer" and make my exit!!!

Look at this way "everyone thinks they are normal"

Nope! Hehe, I KNOW I'm not, thank the good heavens!

What's the word that is the opposite of "subnormal"?

Abnormal?

[norwayeagle]

I meet even more STRANGE Farangs,,,IN here! No1 has Commented my story about the Diper sucking Aussie. That,,, IS really STRANGE

[webfact]

Anyone who hung out around Washington Square during the early 90's would no doubt have met German Jack. He still had his jack boots and other Nazi things. He would click his heels and give people the Hiel Hitler salute. Had he not been in his 80's then, I'm sure someone would have killed him. Yes, he was obnoxious and extremely irritating.

during that time there was another guy around in that area with similar behavior. I trust he was Belgian. You could find him outside some bars on Cowboy, his weapons on the table. A huge radio and a lot of beer.

The radio was blasting military marches for hours and the guy did some "military marching drill" on S- Cowboy shouting some commands and was greeting people in the same manner you wrote in your post.

maybe the same guy...?

Meh. "Normal" is just a cycle on a washing machine.

Just the other day I saw two old farang, one was in a wheel chair and the other was pushing him, they were racing down the street and only caught a glimpse. The guy in the wheel chair had lesions on his face and arms and the one pushing him looked extremely thin and frail. They were going at full pelt and screaming random sh8it. My guess is they both had one too many bare back moments and are subsequently living out the rest of their short days not giving a fu7ck.

Has anyone else seen these two and got a better look ?

PS. This was just the other day.

Wow, I would have wanted to see that

Thanks Guys, I've not laughed so much in ages. Funny how the missus is never amused when I laugh into the Computer.

Sarcasm or not, the hideousness of the sighting will haunt my memories forever.

Indeed, It would be definately along the lines of 'Who's the strangest farang you ever Met'

It has to be a Irish guy called Declan who can be found in bars around Phnom Penh.

When he speaks he fires an imaginary gun at you and all he seems to talk about are the people he has killed during one struggle or another in Phnom Penh 15 years ago.

Absolute fcuken nutcase but the police showed him respect and everyone in the bar and around town seemed absolutely petrified of him, from what i gather he is infamous in this City and there is some truth in what he says about being some kind of mercenary for one side of Cambodian politics.

Is this the bloke on the decorated bike which sometimes has a little trailer behind it. He wears a gold lame suit and rides all round Pattaya in the hot sunshine. He is an English man and gives credence to the old Noel Coward number 'Mad dogs and Englishmen'.

[yogi100]

There is a Thai man who rides around on a motor cycle combination at night going round all the beer bars selling cooked insects to the girls.

His combination is festooned with flowers, decorations, medallions and he plays loud Thai music on his rounds. He dresses in a cowboy outfit and should you see him you are unlikely to forget him.

I met Declan in Washington Square and found him a most interesting character.

You want strange - meet his wife!

[longstebe]

There is this older lady who walks around the bars in Pattaya with a load of white make-up slapped on her

face.

Some of you must have seen her. I know there is many girls who fit the description but this one stands

out a mile. She is kinda weird.

Needless to say he scored that night.

Fireman?

I think I know him, he used to be a member of Thaivisa.

Long ago around 3 in the afternoon I was in the Meeting Place in Nong Khai filling out the paperwork to make a visa run into Laos the next day. In strolls this Ozzie who had just finished walking along the river from Chang Khan to Nong Khai. Told how he had slept and eaten in Wats along the way because they were free. Said he was 50 something and had been in country about 3 months staying mostly in Wats. I bought him a beer while we waited for the bar owner to come back from the shops and he asked me many questions including how much my wife cost. When I allowed how she wasn't for sale he started asking about costs of other stuff. When the owner came back he said he really wanted to stay in a room with pillows and sheets on the bed, maybe a warm shower and some of the finer things in life, but sadly, even though the owner discounted a room from 100B to 50 the guy said it was too expensive and boogied. I would have probably paid for the room but I was so surprised he was gone before I could gather my senses.

Early the next morning I stopped by an ATM on my way to the bridge and there he was sleeping on the walk by the bank. I put a couple hundred baht in his shirt pocket and I went on my way without him waking. Ofter wondered what became of him. I don't consider it a very bright thing to do but sure takes brass nuts to go on such a venture.

Very good thing to do.

Very interesting topic. On my various excursions to Thailand I have seen more odd farangs than Thais and particularly in the Pattaya area.

However, I'd have to say the oddest thing I'd seen was in Chiang Mai. 2 a.m. in the morning and an elderly, overweight Caucasian woman on a wildly decorated Harley adorned in neon lights with a small dog on the handlebars cruising up and down bar the lined strip. Who is this woman?

[marshbags]

What happened to the bloke who used to go around impersonating a vicar ?

Last time I saw him, he was running around the R. Garden shopping mall.

Also remember a guy who used to go around carrying a couple of tennis rackets in a plastic bag.

Both lived in Pattaya in the mid nineties.

So long as the strange farang referred to on the thread and out and about do not bother anyone, no problem

IMHO

theres a weird german knuckle dragger that goes in foodland ,usually with an ugly bg, hes about 5 foot, square ,tattoos all over and on the neck ,he was at one time shouting at the trainee waitress for not understanding ( his broken ) english, she was very upset,,i just cant beleive someone can be such an idiot, and another one that goes in there is a guy that looks like an indian in disguise with a very long braided wig and dark glasses,he always sits right up in the corner on his own, its looks rediculous like hes in obvious disguise !,

Never actually spoken to one, but there does seem to be more and more farang wanabee ladyboys walking around these days, usually aged about 45 upwards.

They look about as feminine and graceful as a bearded lady who makes a living as a bareknuckle boxer.

[stiggy]

Over the years I have escorted many a nut job to the airport /hospital who have lost it.'

One guy thinking he was jesus and all around him needed blessing

Another that was utterly convinced he owned the resort that he stayed at ! even convincing the staff he was related to the investors and going as far to making some quite nice changes . he carried this off for two months before getting rumbled. He slipped up when one day he told the police he had just beheaded someone for stealing sand of his beach.
