vreemd13 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattayadingo Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rijb Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I think you were aiming for 'ambiguity' and swerved into 'vagueness'. What if there were no hypothetical questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theblether Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 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.

zzaa09 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 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.

chickenslegs Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) 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.
