Now I’m sure it must happen to all of us from time to time, whether in Thailand or another foreign country, when something happens to make us think, ‘I wish I didn’t look so foreign!’

Whether it was after hearing the 100th suit salesman asking if you want to have a ‘look inside’, or after having to barter extra hard and still paying more, or even getting stared at for being ‘exotic’ when you’ve got a hangover and you're on your way to work. Every now and again everyone would like to look local, if only for a short period of time.

But actually what does not being Thai, stop you doing in Thailand? Are there certain things you’d love to do that being a Farang stops you from doing in Thailand?

So the topic of this post: If you could be Thai for a day - what would you do?

I would tell as many locals about the good points of farangs in Thailand.

Shit, but I only got 24 hours!

1. Start new poitical party

2. Apply for w/p in Zanzibar

3. buy condo in bkk for 25yrs installments

I guess thats it.

Go to the bank and get a loan to buy a house in my own name.

Nothing.

I'd buy a pair of those high boots that the sweet young things wear.

...who am I kidding....i've already got a pair. I had them hand-made 5 years ago in Silom and haven't worn them yet. Always told myself i'd wear them horse riding.

Go to some of the nice beaches that the Thai military control and who ban foreigners from attending.

find out what some people in the village really think about farang

Hang around Sukhumvit, laugh about farangs and frequently annoy passers by with 'sexy dvd sir sir' whenever possible.

Conceive with my partner just to really confuse the in-laws in about 9 months.

Nothing intelligent from me at this time of night.

Mai roo...

Find a farang, marry her, and get permanent residency in the US.

Use a squat toilet without first breaking into a cold sweat.

have a long steaming p1ss up against someones property in broad daylight whilst looking over my shoulder hoping none of the passerbys notice what i'm doing.

learn to sing!!!!

"Take a crash course in safer driving"

I would buy my house .....again .

If I was a Thai woman for a day then I'd spend all the time standing naked in front of a mirror exploring my new sexuality. Oh...and I'd invite all my female friends to help me with the exploration using liberal amounts of baby lotion and warm custard.

If a Thai guy for a day? Haven't really given it much thought.

If I was a Thai guy for a day, I would go to certain establishments and get the local price...

......Now if I was a Thai woman for a day.....
