what do you want to ask Thai people ?

[Dancealot]

Why do they all ask me where i live?

Because where you live can tell a lot about you. For example, if you live in the village, it won't take long for them to accept/admire you because life in the village is tougher than life in the city. For some reason, people tend to think the foreigners are spoiled and cannot take the rural life. If you live in the city, they think you like the city life style, partying and pampering.

Get this. When I live in the village here, this is my 'luxury' time. When I'm in the UK I live in conditions you wouldn't put a dog in.

To me this is the Ritz.

But most Thai people do not know that and your wife can confirm this.

I can confirm MJP's, statement.

But I cannot confirm your assumption, somrisonphimai.

Not an assumption! It is a fact. My task for you is to go ask Thai people what do they think of Farangs who live in the village vs live in the city.

[MAJIC]

I have not replied because some people are talking about sex.

Ah...this is more like an excuse of I don't have the answers.

I'm afraid this has been a very long Topic,with very few answers,worth reading!

Thank you.

This was one of my tasks, last year, I have already tried to ask, this. And to be more objective: I didnt have to ask. When living with the same people for awhile you don't have to ask. You feel how they think.

My conlusion is people who live in the village and the people who live in the city tend to form similar opinions about Farang.

Both think the same about judging someone(farang). When they feel someone has a good heart they will respect this.

How, in ur opinion, do they perceive "a good heart" ?

It's too difficult to judge because the term, perception, seems too trivial. Perception is conditioned untill the point someone has realised this.

Personally, I like to study Socrates's discussions in order to manifest a base for my ability to judge. Or to put it in other way: to de-trivialise "a good heart".

Because we are all human, I assume they percieve, and share a similar feelings of empathy.

I can say the same thing about the foreigners' perception of Thailand and Thai women. As soon as they see Thai women with Farangs, they think the women are hookers, right?

Its all in the eye of the beholder.....the knowledgeble and the ignorant do not hold the same views.

Thanks for the answers so far Somsri.

[Somsrisonphimai]

Thanks for the answers so far Somsri.

The other day, OP gave me the green light to answer these questions, so I am going to try to answer one or two questions each day as I have a life and job to go to.

[txp158]

Mrs Blether why did you get a big FO tattoo on your thigh, would a normal riap roy Thai girl get one?

I met a girl today she had one, why were the Bkk snobs telling me, "that lady no good"?

I have a friend with a Ph.D in Biomedical Science with tattoos all over his body. Are you implying people with tattoos are low life? I also have a tattoo in Chinese that says 'family' on my hip

Are you implying having a degree makes someone immune from being a low life? You must be Thai.

No. But you have to agree that some degrees is better than no degree at all.

I think you're missing my point. Yes, I'm 100% Thai and proud.

I feel dizzy.. Is it just more or is everything going round in circles o.O lols.

[Showbags]

talk about sex because you go only bar or somewhere for looking prostitute. If you go nice place good people you can meet good people .

Where would that be?

And who would be expected to pay the bill?

ah...the hens teeth search is on

I read this thread all the home from Samui yesterday. What an awesome video channel this would make on YouTube. If you had someone who could speak perfect Thai translate the questions for random Thais on the street and do subs on the video....OMG great entertainment. I do have one question and one question alone...

Why will Thai people bust their ass at the farm doing rice, rubber, or fruit with the family for a few hundred baht a day, but when asked to do an actual job for real money, they are extremely lazy? Between the taxis turning down fares or sleeping at the queues and not wanting a fare, sales people sleeping or hiding from cameras on Facebook, police not ever working, ever, or the people who want jobs, then turn down the offer because it wasn't enough money, or it was too much work? These same people will turn around and use every excuse why they don't have money and complain all the time that they never have money.

Is there an actual question in there?

To keep it real, would you say the same with American, Australian British, French, or German people? There are certain sectors of population that are begged, lazy and on government cheese. Thank goodness, there is only a handful of them otherwise how the country can function properly if there are more of them? You know I can give you many good examples of hard working Thai people, but I don't want to bore you with them.

Mc is the "world's number 1 Restaurant ....

sorry girl,

yes may be they are the world's number 1 Restaurant in the "who can sale more hog-wash" competition.

24$ billion every year, 35,000 restaurants, Who laugh now boy? When you have some cash come see me poor boy.

Oh ye, I still laugh, LOL LOL LOL,

and tell you why, try to follow dear smart over educated girl.

When people talk about "good restaurant" "best r." "number1 r." or "world's n. 1. r" they talk about FOOD, SERVICE andother circumstances, and don't talk at all about earning or number of brances in franchise.

By your logic billgates or other jewish the world's number 1 man, but not at all.

Kaochai mai?

Off course I have anytimes some cash to go see you, if you are 18-25, nicer than smart, and if you have boobs cause these are rather rare around here.

[rgs2001uk]

^^^^^,

Aint Thailand great, no freeloaders here, now welfare scroungers, dole bludgers or illegal immigrants, thankfully theres none of the farang PC BS we dont have to call them "undocumented".

Well done Thailand, way to go, should have moved here sooner.

Maybe some of those bankrupt Euro socialist failed paradises or tax dodging states could pay heed.

[Loles]

I have not replied because some people are talking about sex.

You haven't replied cause you have no idea what you would reply.

You only made a show business here with your naked (BUT WHITE) back and this topic is over your level.

Something like this Baby, hello kitty is your level.

In a country where almost everyone considers hisself as a devote Buddhist and wais to every single wat they come along, how come people still live in a way that couldn't be more un-Buddhistic (torturing dogs, ripping off people, being crazy about money, ...)? In a society where manners and rituals are so crucial, how come there're so many situations in which they behave like people from the 18th century?

So you are an expert on Buddha? You do know the Buddha deserted his wife and child? Maybe back to the books eh?

No he did not desert them at all.

The sons name ball and chain was not because he was annoying,it was because he was struggling to break free from his son to go out and do his work.

He finally set out on his journey for himself,his family and others.

He returned later to that region and his son became a student and he to reached enlightenment.

He went to find himself,to help others once he did and in doing so gave his son the greatest gift,that was part of the plan.

Leave the family now to benefit them far far more in the long run,they were also left in a wealthy palace not in a slum.

Research before you judge,you asked if he is an expert on Buddha then proceeded to tell a misinformed story that is commonly taught by non Buddhists who dabble in reading a few words of his history.

The first thing people always screw up are the reasons he left his family and the truth behind the sons name.

But you were insinuating he was bad for deserting his children right.

When in fact he was helping them.
