Loser Farang

[Malthus101]

Today, whilst sat outside the Big C opposite Central World, some weirdo farang wearing over-sized headphones started dancing in the street, air guitaring like he was having an acid flashback from the 60s. Then he bagan moon walking around on the pavement, totally oblivious to the world around him.

Some may say, good on him, he's a free spirit - I say, Farang, get your act togther, you're putting the rest of us in a bad light. Even the Thais sat next to me who where laughing amongst themselves at this guy (obviously) looked to me as if to see what my opinion was. I just smiled and rolled my eyes but it goes to show that they ascociate us all togther.

When I arrived in BKK at the airport, there were two total scumbags there. Both sat by the taxi rank, neither wearing a shirt, both tanned like a Thai construction worker... One even had a tattoo on his shoulder of a bar girl with her legs spread open. What a xxxxxxx loser!

I think we should start taking photos of these losers and post them up on here - a name and shame if you will.

Maybe I'll think to do that next time I see one.

They give the rest of us a bad name!

That tattoo may have been of his Mother!

"Ooh..! Girlfriend!"

If you feel that strongly, maybe you should actually express your disdain to the individuals in question.

Who defines loser,... if they are happy they r winners...

[mogandave]

A few minutes, days or years does not mean much in the scheme of things.

If they die happy they are winners.

[NeverSure]

I'd say if they die happy, they are dead.

I too am embarrassed by some farangs, and worry that they could cause problems for all of us and perhaps totally ruin our reputations if there's any reputation left.

i say we start with a photo of you, so we have a high bar to set.

i question where and how you live your life that you can even consider any association possible?

The OP could always wander over to the where-to-find-quality-expats-in-thailand for a quality debate ...

Been there, done that! (I didn't like that post personally...)

But I'm so perfect, it might make everyone give up all hope...

[eek]

For sure that every single Thai looking at the guy moonwalking in the street must think every single farang person moonwalks in the street.
Im sure all that witnessed it will ask a farang one day "why do you all moonwalk down the street..?"

[eek]

...for sure they cant differentiate between these men either.

EEk.. your cheating . That's the same guy.. just the picture on the left is after his audition for Hangover 14

[lomatopo]

Maybe you should have voiced your opinion directly to this person at Central World, and the "two total scumbags" at the airport?

[shaggy1969]

Well that's me buggered then !!! I am probably what you would call a ' loser farang '

I am heavily tattooed,bald headed and sometimes wear a wife beater vest

If you were to see me you would probably think Oooh my god....what a scumbag !!!

In reality, I am honest,kind,gentle and a very polite person.

Don't judge a book by it's cover...read a few chapters before you make your judgement please

[Salapoo]

Well, as long as some people find others to look down upon and judge...

Quite the farang pasttime.

[ava15]

How do you know the two at the airport were "total scumbags"?

id say its more likely they were simply too hot and unawares of local customs

Or 600,000 baht p/m oil workers on their month off.

I love when judgemental 'expats' on pittiful pensions or whatever bitching about everything, complain about the state of some young bloke and it ends up that he's living it up every second month on more money than the other guys makes in a year.

There are many funny and ting tong people around which does not respect the Thai culture, etc. Which is very wrong. Can´t give me a heartattack how people behave or how they dress, long as I know that tyhey not breaking any laws etc. Wish you all a pleasant weekend.

[Payboy]

I once saw a farang sitting outside Big C rolling his eyes at random Thais. What was all that about?

Being unaware of local customs goes a long way to being "total scum". Look out how the Russians behave for example.

Also... I think the tattoo of a woman spread legged on his back is a bit of a give away.

Better having a free mind then being mentally preoccupied with yourself and taking yourself too serious, and having lost all power of to self-relativation.

Wish more people having a free mind as they usually are the ones who bring some color and happyness in the world !

[Morakot]

Who needs stereotypes if you can compartmentalise your view of the world.

[Morakot]

Sure he was practising for the upcoming championship in Bali...

[deesamui]

nothing new, happens 24/7 on most every corner in patters, I saw much worst behavior and uglier men with uglier tatoooos there, than anywhere else on this planet

I smiled when he did the behind the head riff ...

eek, you promised you wouldn't show anyone that photo of me on the left!

Ahhh, well, at least I used to be thinner and have some hair back then...

OP,

How about starting the Undesirable Farang Movement?

All members can carry with them a can of white spray paint.

Whenever you see an Undesirable Farang simply spray a giant 'X' across his/her back so everyone will know.
