'Home les' - there's a good one.

Let's hijack the thread - see who can come up with the best interpretation of

'home les'

Les - are you home?? There's a man here who's come to collect the red cross box out the front. He says he is an English Teacher, or somebody who came to open a gogo bar in Thailand.

Love it.....

Hmmmm...why not say what you really mean. From your post,

million of FALANG who hide them self in Thailand  50% of them are a kind  of ( rejected quality from there own society ) means  they cant win challenging life

you are saying all FALANG (the millions of us) are hiding. Dastardly bunch we can be. Out of the millions in hiding, 50% of those are the worst of the worst, especially teachers, in every society. Either a pure TROLL or someone has flunked their "Engrish" test today. Maybe both? Get real.

[khunlungphudhu]

Come on......own up now.......which of you ajarn or khru out there has been nasty with their young stars????

[Heng]

Plenty of "quality" falangs get to the LOS. But let's not go by superficial standards like education and socio-economic status alone. Many of these falangs are artistic and can sing as well. That Jonas fellow and Kristy Gibson are two good examples.

seems a VERY fair question to me , in spite of the resistance/teaching fraternity- to the true answer---after all you live in a "democracy "dont you all ?

[The Phoenix]

seems a VERY fair question to me

For me also, so please answer it...

[sriracha john]

The OP has it all wrong, there's not millions of farang here... there are billions.

[dr_Pat_Pong]

I think that the OP is an upmarket English language teacher. Undoubtably at tertiary level. A stopper to further career advancement is his addiction to strong drink

I think its the gentleman scam.

[dr_Pat_Pong]

I don't think so.

After 8 or 9 Beer Leos I turn into Tom Jones.

After 10-12 "Jack-Coke"'s, I'm a legend (in my own mind), at least until I hit the floor !

Can't sing, can't dance, not artistic in the least. Guess that explains why I like LOS so much ?

[Rags]

Maybe this guy is working for The Nation on a nice little follow-up piece to the wonderful "Flashing Lights" story found in the motoring section a while back

[kyb789]

At the risk of insulting myself.. AND.. getting flamed by nearly everyone on this thread, I'm going to come out and agree with this guy. Let's face it, if life was so good back home, why are you (we) here??

I have many Thai women friends, and NO farang friends here. Its the same story:

"Why is it I can't find a good man?" <Thai woman>

"Where are you looking? In the bar?"

"Well, yes"

"Maybe that's your problem. I've met lots of 'em. Haven't found one yet I want as my friend."

"I know! Are all farangs like this back home?"

"No. Just in Thailand. Know plenty of kind, honest people back home. They have no reason to leave. Have a good life, happy, etc."

Of course this is a generalization, so lets not go down that road. Just something to think about. I've got my reasons for being here, so does everyone. Good thing I don't teach English..

[dr_Pat_Pong]

Do you pick the OP for an erudite teacher of the English language ?

[Gary A]

I'm still trying to figure out pett. Is he a duck or is he sex?

To answer the question, yes, I suppose I do have problems living in my native country. I certainly can't afford to live there as compared to how I can live here. After working for 45 years it would be embarrassing to be standing in line waiting for food stamps.

Living in Singapore your average expat tends to follow the same old story, school, university, possibly post grad studies - onto a job with a multi national company, 2.4 children etc etc. Generally pleasant enough but you hear the same bland story over and over again.

One thing that can be said for the expats in Thailand - knowone you meet is truly dull or boring! You meet types you'd cross the road to avoid and strangers you can't help enjoying a few beers with. Everyones got a story or two and usually wear there colourful past on their sleeves...

Those dodgy 500,000 undesirables must feel right at home here then. I'd analyze your own countrymen before critisizing others.
