Why Do Falang Ignore Falang?

[StreetCowboy]

I ignore Westerners who call other Westerners 'Farang' !!

i'm a Farang and ignore Farangs as well as Thais. if i was to say hello to every Farang when i'm downtown Pattaya i'd have no time for anything else.

p.s. i forgot to mention that i especially ignore Farangs who hate being called Farangs

Do you not employ someone to greet farangs on your behalf?

Or even to ignore them.

"You there , my man; away down to Pattaya town centre and ignore some farang for me, at once!"

I think the next TV party should be held in a Glasgow pub. That would loosen a few of your tongues for yis.

Anyway I am wary of anyone striking up a conversation in the street. Most always they want just one thing.

And it aint a ticket back home....

My wife is a light-skinned, part Chinese, educated Thai professional. I figure most other farnags are married to Issan bar girls. So you see, how can I associate with you?

that's not such a bad idea. i will think about it. it might be quite intriguing sitting at home knowing that "ignoration" of Farangs on my behalf is carried out on a broad scale.

I think we are all someone else’s misfit or oddball.

How can anyone put themselves above all others by thinking things like “they are all perverts, con men, wanke_rs and more about other westerner, (please feel free to swap-out the word westerner with whatever word floats your boat)

I have no problem in Thailand….Or anywhere in the world ‘letting on’ (nodding of the head, saying “Hi” or “all right”) should I bump into ‘old whitey’ when out and about.

I follow the same social rules now I did in my mother country, be respectful of others….Until you find them to be a big cock, then bail.

To all of you that don’t respond to a genuine greeting, be it a nod or “Hi” from a fellow honky, shame on you, I have a poor view people that don’t respond to a simple greeting……….And I say ‘simple greeting’. Some of the reactions I’ve had from just passing someone in a tight space I’ve dared to say, (as I pass)………………”Hi” that’s all…………….It’s not a request to get butt naked with me and sing “come by ar my lord” around an open fire, I don’t want you baby or take long walks in the rain with you………I’m just saying ‘Hi”

Do people not respond, can’t let their guard down so to speak because they think they are not equipped mentally deal with what may happen. Or is it a territory thing, (the male marking all the local point around his home) there’s this Guy, a westerner, I’ve seen him a few times in my local, (small) Lotus shop, first time I saw him, I said “Hi” as I passed, I though the bloke was going to pop a vain in his neck, I don’t see him very often but when I do, he does his best to keep his distance from me, I like to try and maneuver (into his blind spot) swoop by from behind and say…”Hi” quite load as I pass, but I won’t look at him….I know it freaks him out.

Now......That is a weirdo, not someone who takes the time to say……”Hi”

BTW that 'Thai Chinese Asian Arabic bint' doesn't count because she ain't a Falang.

Are you enjoying your holiday? Sort of quiet without you around ...

You skin is looking as young as always ... maybe you are trying this product

Sorry ‘samsian’ didn’t mean to make you jump mate when I said ‘Hi”……………………But it’s nice to put a name, (even if it’s your made-up one on TV) to a face………..And that look, just like in Lotus when I said Hi the first time.

Many of us that have ''tried'' to be hospitable or friendly with ''farangs'' and their ''ladies'' really want a quick exit from listening to shit. Sad but true.

I think you may have me mixed up with someone else.

Good to meet anyway.

A nod and polite smile might suffice in the more genteel parts of the city, but surely for most of us nothing short of a full "Haway there Jimmy, How's it hingin'?" would be adequate, possibly with a generously encompassing wave of the whisky bottle? Just as one would do back home...

It happened again. Booked into a new guesthouse for somewhere more central and saw a fellow tidy looking friendly falang.

I said hello and the look on his face was if I'd kicked his front door in on xmas and pissed on his kids.

Fabulous.

He was a yank. Looked at your shoes.

When foreigners first arrive in a new country they require a support network of fellow foreigners to help them find their feet. They share advice and compare experiences. It's all good healthy stuff. Made some good friends in the past that way myself.

Where I live in east Bangkok I'll always nod hello to a farang if passing in the street. And they will nod back, we are doing it simply to be polite. The thing is having lived in Thailand all my adult life I really don't want to have my ear bent by some guy that has just rediscovered himself during a midlife crisis and wants to tell me all about it. I tend to avoid people that want to talk to random people in the street. I may be missing out on something. I doubt it.

[samsiam]

One guy we met in a supermarket was very friendly....had lived here a long time and very chatty...even invited us over for dinner one night......but I think the way he was looking at my missus, he had more than dinner on his mind.

Dirty old bastard.

Yep, have experienced this stuff myself, and the mrs has changed her mind a bit about farang being a master race.

[baboon]

Ask a Thai abroad why he does not go over and have a chat with the Pakistani sitting on that bench over there as you are both Asian. I will wager he will shoot you a look as though you have just said you are going to take a dump on the street.

Is it not the same with us?

[zzaa09]

I avoid Farang like the plague.

Comes easy and natural for me.

Interaction.....?? Nothing lost.

[samsiam]

Are you sure on who is doing the avoiding ??
