brit1984 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I have noticed they don't like it when I sneak up on them when they are watching scary television shows and pretend to be a poltergeist.

kerryk Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 What's a "Falang"? The Issan phonetic pronunciation of the word Farang as you very well know has been discussed 2694 threads on Thai Visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my tin cup with string Yep, same here. My Thai stepdaughter (who farts quite frequently) is convinced, because I told her so, that falangs do not fart.

Rsquared Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Why do we get these topics where the question is directed at a third party, where we have no way of diving into the minds of said third party.......... .........so why doesn't the OP go out on the street and ask said third party his mind blowing question and come back to us with his results. I sure as hell would sleep a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripstanley Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Farangs are bigger. Not always. And Thais don't always have black hair. I have a thai student that has dark ginger hair.

Popular Post barky Posted July 14, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2012 here we go again As soon as I read the first few words the OP wrote I nearly puked "we must never forget we are guests" submissive, ingratiating, nauseous crap. Please just speak for yourself in future will you. I totally resent everything that phrase implies, especially in this country where very often you are definately not treated as a guest. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnmatt Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 should a Thai visit our home country we will expect them to behave like a quest But immigrants don't act like guests at all in our home countries. Some of them are even trying to impose Sharia law in various places. That, and you can't compare say Canada to Thailand. In Canada, we're taught from the day we're born that we're a country of immigrants, and to embrace multi-culturalism. Something tells me Thais aren't quite taught the same when they're kids.

phuturatica Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I think if there are any likes or dislikes its due to the differences in culture. Also, some Thai people are more accepting of the Western culture than others therefore it would only be based upon opinion, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loud, abusive and overbearing farang. They used to be termed "ugly american", but Merikins don't hold the sole rights to such behavior anymore. I've seen more than one Thai wince when having to seal with this lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go a step further. I'm of the belief that children are taught by their parents and the rest of the community at large to consider westerners as aliens, outsiders, strangers, un-cultured, uncouth, immoral, things to be scared of, untrustworthy and as they grow up they then learn they are things to take advantage of. However, in their (Thais) defence somewhat, I have also witnessed some vistors to Thailand (not usually with the expat community as they are here for the medium to long term) act like stupid, aggressive, drunken, loud-mouthed embarrassing fools. The trouble is Thais are happy to paint us all with this negative brush as it fits their stereotype for us more neatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brit1984 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Also from my experience... What do Thais dislike about Farangs?... having the mickey taking out of them or their country.

cdnmatt Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) I'll go a step further.

True, true. To their credit though, we (as in the Western world) did try to colonize them a few times. But yeah, trying to get a Thai to respect you to the point where they actually value & listen to your feedback / suggestions is sometimes easier said than done.

MAJIC Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) Try listening and asking Thais in your own Country,if we are still "Farangs" in our own Country,you will be surprised at the answer,which leads on to the myth,that we are Guests in Thailand! at best we are tolerated as: temporary immigrant sources of income.
