Falang thinks he is thai.

[Pattayayayaya]

Was in a club playing pool and one loudmouthed falang is at the bar talking in thai so loud just to let the whole bar know he speaks thai.

Really annoying , why cant he just speak normal and stop trying to impress us with his language skills and realise he will never be a thai.

[Spoonman]

Ya shoulda smashed him in the face with a house brick.

[pigeonjake]

sorry didnt mean to annoy you,

next time ill talk in spanish

[robblok]

Jealousy is a dirty thing.

Of course he will never be Thai but he will be able to converse with Thais much better as most foreigners. I have noticed that speaking some Thai is real useful.

[beachproperty]

So lets see.....Guys in Thailand and In a Bar....He shouts in Thai

Really don't see the problem ....He is in Thailand ....Thai is the language of the country.

As for being loud ....after a few drinks don't we all get loud (well at least some of us do!)

Are you jealous?

[tifino]

nit noi little mooleks squeal very loudly.... "schree schree schree schree schree "

dintdja know that?

[chiang mai]

I know a farang who is very similar, fluent enough but insists on speaking over the other person when speaking with a Thai, Thai style, ends up with both people talking at the same time, both speaking and both listening - were he to do that in English with another farang he'd get clobbered after the first 30 seconds, strange behavior.

[arthurwait]

Are you the same miserable farang that mumbled empty threats to himself in Bangkok when I started to speak/argue in Thai with two bar girls who suddenly lost the ability to speak English when they suddenly forgot the happy hour price (that they told us 2 minutes before) when they gave us the bill ? Is it you , were you the bar owner ?

Or are you just......

Speaking and yelling are two different things , do you scream at the vender when your ordering pad thai???.

It does, that's why newbies complain so bitterly about being ripped off by bar girls whereas older more entrenched expats, particularly those that speak Thai, rarely have a bad word to say about them and as a consequence end up walking arm in arm in matrimonial//partnership bliss - queue the thread: why so many old farangs here with younger good looking girls. Next!.

Isn't it obvious? The "loudmouth falang" speaking loudly in Thai was more than likely Amurcan.

Depends on the background noise and responsiveness of said vendor. But in general I don't scream.

No idea what your on about but what did you save for making a scene at the bar ? A 100 baht or so? Why do you even goto a bar to be a cheap charlie why not goto 7/11 and scream at the staff

Yeah, here we go.....but hey, generalisations are made all the time, and are often accurate (as in this case )

It was a tongue-in-cheek flip comment by me.

I nearly typed "Aussie" instead of Amurcan because Kiwis can't resist a shot at the West Islanders, but I was probably influenced by two Americans I encountered on a recent flight from Sydney sitting two rows in front of me.

They were asked by cabin crew to please lower their voices as they were disturbing other passengers. This prompted a loud 90 minute discussion between them about "why does the rest of the world think Americans are loud when clearly "we" are not". It was actually quite entertaining.....but a little loud.

[seank]

Maybe he was on the phone!

[likewise]

I speak fluent Thai, usually better then their English, so why should I complicate the conversation if it is easier to converse in the local language ? ! Oh by the way, I read and write it as well, so to the OP if that is a problem for you, go and get some Thai lessons !

And to add to it, I do not think that I am Thai, nothing wrong with being multi lingual though !

[transam]

I find it very annoying when a farang speaks English very loud to impress Thai folk he was English. .......

[pigeonjake]

youve only got to look at the OPs avitar to see what he must be like,, why bother answering him,,

Not really conversing ordering drinks is it, anyone can do that but does not mean they can go much further.

[kurnell]

Only one phrase you need to learn in Thai...oh hoooiiieee! Covers just about every situation

[AnotherOneAmerican]

You mean a bit like white guys calling other white guys farang?

Yep, annoys me too.

Bar talk is either embarrassing or sad.

Funny how forum member homeownership who openly admitted to grooming minors (and was subsequently banned) and we now have a new member with a convicted pedo as his avator.......

[Morakot]

Long distance call?

[tifino]

the only type of call this farang would be on in a bar - is a booty call
