doggie888888 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 It's called a Farang Fit. And after seeing a few farangs exhibit it, some of them rather like the ones described by the OP, I find myself starting to agree with the Thais...it is very ugly and I can understand why Thais lose respect for anyone who rants on and on like a mad dog. Of course, I had farang fits before. But nowadays, farang fits are replaced with a forced false smile. Just smile and nod, the blood pressure goes down and most surprising the Thais become more open to what you are saying and even more helpful! Call it insincere but it works for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsquared Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 As the saying goes...........You can tell the size of a man,..........by the size of the things that upset him. As frustrating as it can be at times, I have also learnt to just chill-out whenever a situation would call for a dummy-spit, not easy but a little while after the situation I fell better for keeping the dummy in.

Kilgore Trout Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Granted I have seen these kinds of things as well, but I have also seen thais snap over nothing too. I once saw a foreigner beaten in the head with iron bars by 3 people who jumped out of nowhere when the foreigner knocked over a glass and politely argued that it was not his fault. So don't just make this about westerners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannork Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I feel irritated when tootling along on my Honda Wave in the left hand lane, only to be forced to break quickly when a car scorches past, cuting across to either park or turn left. Why bother overtaking me is my thought? Still, I mutter 'khwai' and feel better. Years ago I saw an Australian family with a small cute 2 year old eating in a restaurant. The Thai waitresses were doting over the child, feeding her with sweets Suddenly the father just lost it,' I've told you before, don't give her sweets, she won't eat her dinner!', he raged. The atmosphere changed from smiles, cooing and murmuring to frowns and silence. The waitresses just thought they were being nice, the expression 'to be killed by kindness' had no meaning for them! A clash of cultures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebBangkok Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 I've seen one snap over because his sister in law wanted to clean his house, for free. http://www.thaivisa....riving-me-nuts/ lol hey Im getting used to her now that I understand where she is coming from.

WebBangkok Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Its not as if there is anything here to frustrate the <deleted> out of anyone. But I've made a mental note not to loose my rag lest some other foreigner objects to me doing so. Maybe I'll learn to internalise everything per the local custom and then blow my top big time - I'll put it down to the Thai way. Actually, This is what probably does happen to the guys who snap over little things, they have held in frustration for aperiod of time. They get 2 straws with the bottle of water they bought and just let it all out at once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draftvader Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Seen expats fighting over freelancers at several clubs. Unbelieveable !! Why one of them couldn't just come back the next night and take his turn then is beyond me. Yeah, that one has always befuddled me! It is like they have bought their Aussie/American/English Bar/Pub attitude with them. If you are desperate for that particular one (and in my experience waiting for another fit Thai girl is as simple as closing your eyes and counting to 10, so I don't know why you would) then get back early the next day.

I quite like the smell actually so wouldn't bother me. Guess the lad was jealous because your nails looked a lot better than his one or two very long nails he doubtless had (for fashion and to cat scrape someone in a school tiff). I bet no one came to your aid either. Makes no difference you are a female here, you are farang first and foremost and you are therefore in the wrong. Just feel lucky that you were not a male; all the other Thais would have laid into you as well then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetley Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 A thai guy gave his wife a black eye last week in the village bar when she told him he'd had enough to drink. That swing came from out of the blue and he got up shouting and swearing. Calmed down soon enough when he staggered off though. Next day wifey heard the wife had stabbed her husband, luckily for him only in the arm probably as this time she was the one who was drunk.

No, but she does it someplace so that other people don't have to inhale the toxic fumes from the paint and polish remover. The guy yelling for 15 minutes went too far but I understand why he was angry. Maybe you are used to the smell but a lot of people find it horrible, and on a bus you are forcing everyone to breath it and they can't get away.
