Let me be the first to say I owe you one.

This guy seems to have a chip on his shoulder a mile wide and with his level of English, rational discussion is pretty much impossible.

And while they're at it, could the mods please ban his irritating avatar too?

Pearl, Thais love compliments, so I think you'll probably get the "suay maak" comment quite often. A simple "thank you" in Thai or English would be a good reply. From what I've seen, farang women will get this compliment if they have pale skin, blonde/red/brown hair, a straight nose and blue/green eyes. If you are a blue-eyed blonde, you can't go wrong. I don't think you'd get such a comment based only on being anatomically different, whether it be an hour-glass figure or big boobs. My female colleagues are more likely to refer to a young woman as "sexy" if she has a statuesque figure.

Us guys get lots of compliments about being "handsome" too, but it's usually because we are wearing a smart suit and tie or we've changed the way we look. It doesn't necessarily mean we have handsome features.

good work, Pett sounds like a regular troll who tries to pretend he is Thai by using very bad 'Tinglish'. He'll be back unfortunately.

One thing the Thai female staff kept saying was that I am very pretty.  (I am not bragging, and I figure I'm just okay but lets say that I am very different anatomically than most Thai women and very pale.)

Tan yourself asap.

P.S.: I had been tanned a lot in the summer. So no Thai ppl say "suay mak" to me any more. haha

Well, I doubt most people would go to such extremes to avoid compliments, Anna. Besides, as a white-skinned person, tanning is never a good solution. Ruins the lovely skin, you know.

Right you are!

Tanning is nothing more than dying skin-cells...

My mom never suntanned and, at 65, has the skin of a much younger woman. Her friend from school always had a tan, and looks like an old shoe. In fact, she doesn't even suntan anymore but is still permanently brown. She is cooked well done. .
