Several weeks ago a thai friend since 4years tell me next: "You are a thai-farang".

He explained to me (briefly):

1.) Farang:

a.) are expected to support the family financially

b.) but it is OK not doing this

2.) Thai:

a.) same as 1.a.)

b.) same as 1.b.)

same-same, but why different?

Have you ever experienced another such an ambiguous talk?

the only thing i can make out from your post is you seem to possess the local talent for moving the air in the vicinity of your mouth without actually saying anything of import.

I think I have just experienced some unintelligible talk. Please sober up and try again.

I think I'll take the dog for a walk, or should I let him go on his own.

To start with, I dont understand this " thai-farang" and the rest just goes straight over the top of my head.

What the.....!????

So you've been thinking about this for several weeks???

methinks...better find smarter friends

Wait, what?

methinks...better find smarter friends

Take more water with it.

I think I'll take the dog for a walk, or should I let him go on his own.

This topic is far too exciting to take the dog out. Let him go out alone and find a lady soi dog while you watch this stimulating topic.

At least the dog would be happy

better do a print of that post... take it to the pub and rethink it after the fifth pint....

Unlike this place, my dog has no nuts.

I think you were aiming for 'ambiguity' and swerved into 'vagueness'.

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

Some con artist is trying to hand him a bunch of BS about he is actually part "Thai", because he keeps paying their bills?

I understood it......I have felt the same OP

I understood it......I have felt the same OP

I trust you were both consenting,I too feel of the land of thefree when sufficienly merry,then I see the stuffed bill and all thelocals who have charged me double price and realize I stick out like a Suckling Pig to be roasted at the Bar Mitzvah.

Farang are expected to support the family financially but it's okay not to do so.

Thais are expected to support the family financially but it is okay not to do so.

If the farang does not support the family financially then the wife loses face and the farang will lose his life as soon as the insurance policy comes through.,

If the Thai does not support the family nobody bats an eyelid cos there is no shock there.

So same same effect, totally different result.

So I think your pal was marking your card that you better start supporting the family or your getting it.

Just saying.

Pass me The Times crossword Mildred, I'm on fire here

Thainess absorption.

OP - I think your friend was trying to tell you that it is now OK for you to:

i) stay in the outside lane, even though you are driving more slowly than everyone else

ii) double park outside the 7-11, even though there are parking spaces just 15m walk away, and

iii loiter at the bottom of the escalator whilst you finish your conversation,

iv) etc.

Now you are Thai-Ferang.

Actually, this is what Mrs Chickenslegs calls me whenever I squeeze the SUV into a Mini-size parking space next to the doors at Tesco, rather than parking in a decent size space and walking 50 metres.

I very like these wise words ....

Thanks for the warning, I have NOT thought about it that way

Yes, that is the ambiguity!
