Farang Busker at Markets.

[Bogan Koori]

I was eating the markets behind Robinsons last night and too my disgust this farang scumbag comes along with an acoustic guitar, and starts belting out some shit tunes. He even had his 3 children with him. What sort of bum gets around doing this with his kids at 9 pm on a weeknight. He looked English.

[gerry123]

how does one look English?? please tell do Aussies look Australian do Canadians look Canadian

[Bogan Koori]

You can tell by haircuts, clothes and mannerisms.

[hansgruber]

I've seen the ones at Naka markets. They also sell cakes and stuff. Hippies dragging their kids to no future.

It's selfish to drag your kids into that sort of alternative lifestyle.

[gerry123]

ok get your point but could you elaborate a bit more as to why you thought he was English and not,say Irish or Welch or Scottish

There is a Russian / Ukranian busker on the walkway between Central and Homeworks. But if you look at him, he looks Mauritanian with long brown hair, white skin and a horrible voice. But then again, he could be Serbian, or South African...<deleted> knows.

It will be interesting in a few years time when we see some "50/50 kids" or "luk khrueng" kids who happened to take on their father's physical appearance, rather than their mother's, and are working in occupations reserved for Thai's only.

The look on Immigration Officer's faces will be priceless when a "farang" pulls out a genuine Thai ID Card and or Thai Passport.

So, in the future, you may think you see a foreigner is working illegally here, but they are actually a Thai National, or dual national.

really... know plenty of children of hippies that grew up just fine and have productive lives.

where should parents drag their children... for the future you talk of?

A stable home with a stable school environment, not a gypsy existence.

Doesn't matter where it is in the world but without stability they can't forge real friendships or be part of a community.

Those things can't be had when the parents can't hold a stable job.

Maybe because Thailand makes it very difficult for a Farang to legally support his family in Thailand!

if you work around Bangkok, you will actually see quite a few luk khruengs working in real estate, international companies, or even teaching at English schools.

there is one farang with blond hair that stands an sings with his guitar at the Friday night market in Kamala.

I make it a point to stare at him an shake my head. Doesn't even sing in English

the thais find him amusing

[ToddinChonburi]

Looks like there are bum's all over the world. I thought they stayed behind back in the USA but seems they followed me here.

I think he's Russian. Kind of surprised they let him continue do that.

I had to Google two words from this thread

1. Busker - chiefly British, a person who entertains in a public place for donations

2. bollo - slang term for the word &lt;deleted&gt; which means one of the following

1. something rubbish

2. a falsehood or series of lies

3. something great

4. the best possible

5. testicles

6. exclamation on making a error.

I hope to eventually learn to speak English here in Thailand. I only speak American now, but I know a few Australian words.

Here something to put into that narrow mind of yours...Your assumption borders on racialism...You pass judgment on someone you don't even know nor understand

because you don't like his music? mind boggling is that ? That youy use the word Scumbag?....Hahahahaha looking at your profile picture it borders on looking like a hippie scumbag...Just saying

Good luck you can only make uneducated judgements on someone whom you apparently know nothing about.....

You have the balls to sit in front of your computer and spew out such a negative comment, bet you didn't say nothing to his face...Oh yes I forgot Happy &lt;deleted&gt; New year bogan koori!

Racism, where comes racism into play?

The concept that children need a stable home is very much accepted by the professionals in that field.

He is a scumbag. Getting his kids to go collect money off strange farangs at night is no different to the young Thai kids encouraged to go and sell flowers to sex tourists. He gives them ideas that it's ok to accept gifts from strangers at night.

Would he be doing the same if he were in London? I doubt it.

[forrwhat]

Busking does not mean your a bum. You are playing music in public sometimes with the hopes of tips according to the quality of your playing.

Bruce Springsteen was caught busking in a NYC subway about 10 years ago. He didn't do it for money but maybe to try new material.

You walk on almost any main public through fare in any major city ( Themes in London, Kalakaua Ave in Hawaii, Los Ramblas in Barcelona,) you will see everything from an indigent playing a box to a string quartet. As long as they are not in your face begging let them be and keep walking.

Is seems posters on TV love to hate other westerners or anything similar to their place of origin.

He is Russian and sings in Russian.

He must make something in the way of money or he wouldnt be turning up month after month..

Why do you stare at him and shake your head?
