FlyingDutchman Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) How do Thai people look at the Dutch ? I'm not quoting some remarks about Brits, Germans and Americans, but I've never seen a remark on the Dutch, so ... For good order : The Dutch live in the Netherlands (Holland). We've got a Queen (65 yo.). It's next to Germany and above Belgium. Their sea is the North-Sea. William ('de Stadhouder') used to be King of England. EDIT : Forgot one ... the Pilgrim Fathers lived over 10 years in Holland ... because it was a refuge place for 'the open minded', thèn and now.

meadish_sweetball Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 If you really want to know, ask in a Thai forum. Here you are likely to get replies filtered through other farang's prejudice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiPauly Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 If you really want to know, ask in a Thai forum. Here you are likely to get replies filtered through other farang's prejudice. Spot on Meadish. It is a very curious question considering that 99% of this forum's memebers are not Thai FD This is NOT a THAI forum mate. Now if you want to ask other Farangs what they think of you cloggites post it on the Farang, Nightlife, Entertainment section, not on General topics as it is not Thai related TP All I know about the Dutch is that Mice live in Windmills,you grow lots of Tulips, you can smoke dope legally, and produced one of the greatest footballers the world has ever known Oh and your favourite colour is ORANGE. But I like Dutch people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrus Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I'm English but, lived in Germany 45 mins from the Dutch border near Gronningen (fantastic city), I always liked and got on really well with any Dutchy I ever met. That is unusual for any race. I have met Thais (insert English/German/American/Australian etc) that I don't get on with, esp those aggresive on booze they can't handle, but..... ....from the people I used to meet in bars/pubs to the guy that used to deliver vegetables to my restaurant, all the Dutch were sound..... I know they can't all be sound but, I never feel any animosity when out in NL. My observations having spent around 4 years in or around NL. redrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannishgung Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Have been to Nederlands too many times. Also have many Dutch friends. Dutch people are suely a very good looking race. But the girls generally are quite big. Very nice and organized first world country like Scandinavia. I think generally not only Thais but people all around the world have very good impression of Nederlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britmaveric Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 You are a farang and we are all lumped together for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadish_sweetball Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 The most important point of my post was not that of farang-ness. The fact is that everyone has prejudices, and if you are looking for specifically Thai prejudices about the Dutch, it is strange you should be searching in a forum where 95% of the posters are neither Dutch nor Thai...

lopburi3 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I have to agree with the other posters. This is an expat forum and as such there is no way to target this to a Thai audience. And today would not be the best time in any case. Closing thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
