AhFarangJa Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 If it is not the German drug trafficker then we may all have a good laugh when it turns out to be an Australian or a North American. I think thais believe the world exists only of Europe where farangs come from and Asia where the rest come from. Have a Thai friend who actually thought that America and Australia were in Europe. you mean they aren't?.... Oh no. Don't tell me you have just booked a European ski holiday with Somchia Travel and your staying at the Hyatt Miami. Oh. Bug***, I knew I should have taken a responsible adult with me, mind you they told me Switzerland was good for skiing 'cause all the lakes are on slopes.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thais believe the world exists only of Europe where farangs come from and Asia where the rest come from. Have a Thai friend who actually thought that America and Australia were in Europe. This is an important point given the Thais lack of real experience of foreigners.. I had a Thai friend, university educated and an excellent English speaker, who called all people with brown or darker skin and not what she perceived to be Asian " Palestinians ". I asked her why she used this description and her answer was " because they look like Palestinians ", I quit while I was ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungo85 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 To be fair, the "robber" was probably trying to just withdraw from his own account & lost it at all the red tape he had to cut through. The note was probably written on the back of the withdrawal slip he'd been told was incorrectly completed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times i went to a counter and saw hundreds of thousands baht 30cm from my hand behind the counter, no guard,.... Where i come from the banks have double doors with bells, the cash si never seen.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellweather Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Robber "Give me the money" Teller "You have work permit?" Robber "No, I'm retired" Teller "Cannot Do" No so far fetched as once True Visions sent me a free True sim card which I had to have activated at one of their centres but when I tried I was refused unless I produced a work permit. An explanation i was retired and didn't have a job was not accepted and I didn't know how to get a permit to prove I didn't have work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 "How the heck a "european" looks like?" Like a Palestinian! Many Thai think USA part of Europe, btw. Good for Dlock posting Woody flick.

Popular Post KuhnPaen Posted May 30, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2013 Can picture the Thai bank teller saying "Arai na?" "Wait wait please sir. My English not so good. Let me get manager na." "What quietly mean?" "You have gun then why you need knife?" "Oh, you want money ja. Kaojaii khap. You have account sir?" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetitan99 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'm surprised he got any money at all. Considering he wrote the note in English. I'm surprised the teller didn't pass him a note saying "no have". HA!! At my bank they would have passed him a note saying "Cannot". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdome Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 This reminds me of the hold up that was foiled when teller started discussing would be bank robber's spelling "I have a gub"... I think that was just a movie scene though and such humor is lost in translation in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
