What a tool

[HeijoshinCool]

Never ceases to amaze me how out of touch with reality so many people are.

Two minutes of this depressing crap here and there was all I could stomach. After all he experienced, the village idiot still says, "I'll be back," to the other village idiots swilling beer like it was water.

Pathetic lot all from the same mold.

As the Toad said, "What a tool."

[jacky54]

what's his nic on here? Been posted before, his mrs was from Krasang Buri Ram but is heard speaking Khamin at one point, so lets not slag off all Lao Buri ram bargirls 'I can't eat your love' but she eat all his cash, evil cow!

That is really quite depressing. I couldnt watch all of it...that bloke is in his early forties????? He looks more like he is in his mid fifties! The classic line about "all these nubile women that really want to be with you".....said as he is sitting a hooker bar. How deluded can some people get? This is not the same Thailand that I live in, thank god for that!

I saw this doc sometime back. It's a complete tool shed, especially with the bloke talking about how his wife says she doesn't love him, but he thinks she does.

I suppose the word denial is a suitable one.

[jacky54]

Actually it's a good advert for beer chang!

I went to my local immigration office on Friday to extend my NON O visa. Sitting in there was a grumpy old british fart and his wife. He was getting more and more frustrated and his voice growing louder by the minute. It was really quite comical, yet embarrassing at the same time. I was the only other farang in there and I could feel him looking at me, trying to get me involved in his frustrations. I didnt take the bait. Finally as I was sitting with the mrs chatting with the immigration lady he came up and handed his passport to her......he looked directly at me, and out of the blue says "no wonder the place is deforested"....... I think referring to all the paperwork he had to do. I still didnt take the bait and he gave up. His moaning and raised voice caused quite a stir. The immigration lady looked at me and asked me in Thai "are you going to be like that' "No", says I...

I came here to get away from people like that. There are some pretty cool western people here ,but a lot just dont seem to get it. They complain about people from other countries coming to theirs and not assimilating....and yet they just make complete tools of themselves here.... God I love living here, its a laugh a minute!

[slipperylobster]

Wahhhhhhh

[Om85]

For me this is not depressing, honestly speaking this is amusing, I wonder if there are people out there that are really that stupid?

Yes, a XXXXXX of a female no doubt (and no mate, she is not ‘beautiful’ by any stretch) but you have to ask yourself why, when you cannot get a woman in the UK, would they go with you here? And then you let her control all your finances like your mother used to when you were an infant. WHY!

Not a bad bloke, just a bit of a douche, swigging from a big bottle of beer on camera every five minutes notwithstanding. Chaps, when you come to Thailand, don’t believe anything anyone tells you, esp in a bar! And don't behave like some meek dork with lashings of one-way respect around its women.

Incidentally, there seems to be an inordinate number of 'Tip's' than run off with a farang's money.

[Yooyung]

Thailand is full of 30 + year old decent women, with jobs, a brain and decent moral standards. All a man has to do is learn decent Thai, learn how to behave in Thai culture not act like a total knob end.....but that just seems way to hard for some people to do. If you really are down on your luck with the women you need to pick yourself up by the boot straps and work on yourself. Unfortunately that does mean some work on language skills etc if you are planning on giving it a go here. If not, well....you could end up with a hooker that speaks baby English to you all day long. What a sad state of affairs considering the amount of Thai women that would be considered attractive to many back home....available, yet unobtainable to lager louts that cannot think with their big head. As a man in my early 40's, I am more than happy to stick with women my own age, women that have a brain,maybe even have their own condos...cars...whatever! Its not that hard to do if you make the effort to learn the lingo, learn what behaviours are expected and try not to be a total dick! Just like what you would expect people to do when they come to your country really.....

I stopped after 6 mins then they were too lazy to put the English subtitles up for what appears to be a lengthy Thai Monologue.

Thus 'Her' story is lost to the majority of the audience.

[mrtoad]

David, you didn't miss much although The American clown late on in the documentary is even funnier, when he is talking about his wife. The look on her face is one of total contempt.

I still think that Lake Palmer will take a lot beating though , that Theroux documentary is pure comedy gold.

[farang000999]

These guys are nothing like the people who post on Thai Visa.

[pgrahmm]

Saw it once before...remembered the prior distaste for both of the principles....everyone should watch once...I thought the one I saw did have subtitles.....

Well been here 20 years and not met one with a brain yet, all most are interested in is food, family, money, lakorn. If so many have decent moral standards how come the place is so corrupt? sure they all say they are against it but have their hands out for 500 baht at election time. Not sure what is more pathetic, the tits losing their temper in immigration, the decent but daft blokes being scammed, or the ones who think they are superior and kid themselves they fit in and are liked just cos they can speak a bit of Thai.

That's what you get for living your life between the barstool and the local soapy massage

Bitch, whinge, moan, groan. I've got it so right. Can't you tell?

My wife sat in & gave me the Thai side which differed significantly from his.

Am I alone in wondering how a documentary crew happened to be there, or which of the 'plugged-in-every-scene-he-was-in' beer company funded the film?

[jacky54]

Obviously it was filmed after the events happened. What is the Thai side exactly?, apart from the me poor have baby, have to take care family routine- Thai work hard have have little money Falang work little bit have big money, (therefore i am justified to cheat him out of everything by pretending to care about him!) You don't expect a scamming ex prostitute to tell the truth here surely?

This was probably at least 8 years ago, and the events before as he is filmed going home from DM. I had a GF from the same town once, met some right sorts there, one after another boasting about how much falang give them, then the idea catches on, so ugly too with no manners, culture or brains.

[fatfather]

Seems as if this guy did never assimilate with the farm and country life, nor with Thai culture in Isaan. No wonder she prefer to run the farm on her own, without having to care for a falang. If he would have shared the work he would have shared the life there as well. Not the first one who came to Isaan and got frustrated and kicked out later on. Happened and will happen again and again and again and.....

_{Ok, for those accusing me of being some kind of snob....I aint! I have some good friends here that cant speak Thai too well, but they just have 'street smarts' and a good bullshit detector. They just somehow manage to live here and get along just fine, more power to them! I also am not of the opinion that EVERYONE that marries a bargirl is doomed from the start. Its different strokes for different folks. If a guy goes in to such a relationship and takes it for what it is....has his eyes open then I guess it can sometimes work. There is good in everyone. I just think that there are a lot of guys like this one, basically a bit soft and its sad. He is living in a world of delusion and will no doubt get burnt again.}

_{As far as ALL Thai women not having a brain and only talking about food. Well, ALL twenty something Brit males only ever talk about football.....ALL Americans are loud and obnoxious.......ALL Aussies are alcoholics.....yeah, they are all facts my friends!}

_{It shows more the type off people you are hanging around, than the way the world really is. I have had some discussions about politics etc with Thais, but i prefer to stear clear of such topics here. I have had discussions with my wife about all kinds of things, but again, I came to Thailand to have a nice relaxing life. I generally have those kind of discussions on places like Thaivisa....or with Farang mates. Thai people do tend to veer away from very serious topics and thats one of the reasons why I like it here......nothing to complain about. I had enough heated discussions around the dinner table at home regarding death and taxes thankyou very much.}

_{Simply stating that its beneficial to learn the language and customs of the country you have chosen in could only bring out such negative replies on this forum......its just a laugh a minute.}

First of all, the Thai being spoken here was hardly higher-level academic Thai with advanced vocabulary. I've studied Thai for several years and had absolutely no trouble understanding what the women were saying. They spoke clearly, in standard Thai, which they probably perfected while working in Bangkok.

Tip had never been with a foreigner when she decided to leave that low-paying job in the plastics factory to go work in the bar. She did it to take care of her daughter, for whom she has high hopes. Interestly, they had a brief visit to a school room in her hometown, where they asked the girls what they wanted to be when they grew up "doctor", "teacher" was the reply. The teacher said "most will be farmers". This was after they showed the Issan women venerating the statue of Ya Mo in Korat and told a version of the historical story that Ya Mo leading the local women in getting the invading soldiers drunk and slitting their throats to save their country. Issan women have been taking care of themselves for a long time.

Later in the film she also commented about how her husband never went home (presumably to England) and never did any work. Of course, everyone has noticed how he was never far from a bottle of Chang and a cigarette. For someone who professed to be broke, he seems to have funds for those habits.

I think the marriage would have been much different if he had shown more initiative around the farm, learned some of the language and, in general -- acted like a husband (and partner) instead of a child (or pet) that expected to be taken care of forever. Is it any wonder she simply lost interest?
