Holy Cow Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Saw the same on channel 3. I am under the belief that a Tom or the majority are out of line in thinking that they need to parade their catch and chosen lifestyle around to all. Most of tyhe Toms could not get a man so they had to do something. I do not condone a foreigner doing it as well. Get a room! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClutchClark Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Was on the BTS two days ago. 60'ish European is getting very frisky with his Thai girlfriend. She is uncomfortable and tries to put him off. He refuses and gets all kissy face and snuggly to the point it belonged in a hotel. They primarily Thai passengers were obviously as offended as I was and you could hear comments being made in thai. Its not a lesbian thing. Its a showing disrespect to a culture thing by farang. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP25 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 It's disrespectful in Thailand for anyone to start making out on the BTS. If a straight Thai couple started kissing other passengers would feel uncomfortable and some Thais would make comments too. Thais will ignore when farang do this it but they absolutely hate seeing it and will comment to themselves in Thai about it, although will not confront the foreigner directly. They expect a Thai couple to know better, but dismiss the foreigners as ignorant savages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Donnie Brasco Posted November 5, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Was on the BTS two days ago. 60'ish European is getting very frisky with his Thai girlfriend. She is uncomfortable and tries to put him off. He refuses and gets all kissy face and snuggly to the point it belonged in a hotel. They primarily Thai passengers were obviously as offended as I was and you could hear comments being made in thai. Its not a lesbian thing. Its a showing disrespect to a culture thing by farang. Many of us have lived in a lot of big cities all over the world. We have seen public displays of affection of varying degrees by the every permutation and combination of age sex and sexual proclivity imaginable in both Western and Asian public places. Even where it's accepted many of us find it repugnant. It's sex-show stuff at best and in Asia, that's where it belongs. I along with local Thais have travelled the BTS and MRT frequently since they opened. I am NOT the bluddy Church Lady, OK ? But Bangkok is not London, Paris or Castro St. Because in Asia, mouth-kissing is considered an intimate sexual act, I have on occasion approached FARANG couples and informed them of the fact that it is offensive to Thais and well-comported farangs alike. In all the time I have been here I have only felt I had to do this TWICE. Although I will not be able to produce the statistics that many TV posters will insist on, I have to say that in the past TEN years of rush hour commutes, by far and away the most EGREGIOUS public wet-kissers have been Tom/Dee couples. Tenfold. They challenge the public with it. It's a game for them. The Tom this morning BLAMED farang behaviour for the spit-swap she kicked off because that's what low-rent facility-challenged Thais do here in LOS. They blame it on foreigners. Well that's just BS. Until the Central World Au Bon Pain and Subway branches changed their seating a few years ago, you saw Tom/Dee couples occupying the window-sofa for full-on afternoon snogfests about three or four times a week. And sorry folks, ONLY TOM/DEES and NOT Thais or farangs, OK ? Ugly ratty gutter-posse Tom/Dee couples did it to the exclusion of everybody else. It's offensive to me when ANYBODY does this publicly. Even more so in an Asian setting where it is complete effrontery to long established public morals They appear to be challenging those around them . . . . . And the majority of people who until this morning on the BTS used to look away or turn their kids faces away in anguished embarrassment. To elevate this obnoxious sex-show behaviour to the level of political action is laughable. Kudos to those Thai commuters this morning.

I have often run my accounts of such public intimacies by my Thai friends and acquaintances. Their initial reluctance to discuss this kind of behaviour goes to their ÜBER-strong moral relativism cultural norm. Up to her. Up to him. Why you care ? (This does not stand for long once they are convinced that most of us foreigners find this behaviour off-putting.) Repressive ? Retrograde ? Hardly as repressive as forcing the sight of such intimacies onto a cross-section of commuters: Thai office folk steeling up for a day's work, shoppers, a mixed bag of Multi-cultural visitors, tourists, farangs children, the elderly, monks, rural passengers right across the board. Is this behaviour some kind of cultural folk dance they feel the need to share ? I agree. I and EVERYONE ELSE for that matter don't give a rats ass what you get up to Just get yourselves a bluddy room and express your amorous wet-stickies there.

NoshowJones Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Toms are often possessively demonstrative with their dees on the BTS. So what ? Some people would not like looking at older guys with young girls.. some don't like Tom's and dees.. I say live and let live. As for kissing up to them, personally if two guys are kissing it does not really float my boat but again live and let live. It has never happened, but if two guys,(I mean people who are obviously guys) started kissing in public near me, I mean in a place that would be inconvenient for me to get away from, I would soon put a stop to it. I don't mind if people who are that way inclined have their goings on behind closed doors, but definitely not in public. I might add though if it was out in the street, I would just keep walking, but only faster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Here's the clip. Towards the end a katoey joins in to help the female passenger and berates the Tom's behaviour as impolite. The Tom looks as though she's going to attack the katoey and is met with "If you want a fight, I'll give you a slap". The couple get off with the Dee looking mortified at the whole thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where on the Television someone holding a cigarette, is blurred out, but walk two bloks away, and there is ping pong shows, and Didos sold on the street, with Viagra etc etc. Let's be real,folks about this...eh.....

Roadman Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Having watched the clip my opinion has not changed. Whether one disagrees with the couples kissing or not and whether it is offensive to thai's in modern day Thailand or not the woman sticking her nose in is out of line. And in the clip she is the one being offensive with her constant harping on in loud tones where the young dee is being very polite especially went most of the other thai's in the clip were not even mildly interested in the confrontation...so who's behaviour is offensive again? If my daughter and her girl friend were being hassled in public to that degree whether they were being affectionate or not in public and I had been there that woman would have been told to f...off and mind her own bussiness...and the katoey would have copped a fist in the face and knee in the balls if it was going to be slapping my daughter around. Personally while I accept my daughters choices as a female as a guy I would find guys pashing up in public offensive...a dick up the rear does not rock my boat. But I would have the decency to respect their choices and keep my nose in my own bussiness. And good on Toms and Dees for challenging such outdated moral prudish stances on shows of affection, while it is seemingly acceptable for prostitution which is not only a moral but legal issue to run rampant through Asia. Jeez I even hug my thai family females when apart from or meeting at long intervals apart. Perhaps the PC police should be threatening to slap me or admonish me in public as well for such offensive behaviour...sheesh...seriously some people need to get a life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieH and a few other (good) guys have the mezzanine floor above us ... our immediate Bosses ... have the power to fire us if we play up. They are in Red Then you have the second floor, they are usually the long serving mezzanine floor guys ... have seen just about everything the forum can offer. They are in Blue Just keep your nose clean, and the guys on the floors above never trouble you. Might even buy you a beer or a lemonade, come Christmas time ... hint, hint ...
