StreetCowboy Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I think that they are suffering from a superiority complex Personally I think its an inferiority complex with some indivduals and a desperate need to be accepted. Strange thing is I know a few farangs who are actually Thai citizens with a passport etc and one would think that if anyone would have gone "native" and Thaier than Thai, it would be them, but these are indivduals are very balanced and normal and in fact very critical and outspoken about Thailand, the culture etc, for example the "face" issue in Thailand in their opinion is a crock of BS, as are a few other things and of course its their right to these comments as they are Thai citizens. And you don't feel people who take Thai citizenship feel a desparate need to be accepted? When I changed my citizenship, it was for administrative convenience, rather than a desire for acceptance. Most of my peers were unaware of the colour of my passport. SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would need to be careful what they take on board too.......you know my capability of forgetting my medication and slipping from the first person to the third person.
