Better off alone in thailand

[Rangsitreppin]

Thai people are often very friendly when im alone but when im with another person they seem to be a little cautious or are just less friendly Than when i was by myself.

Any one else experience this?

[sipi]

Nope...They are friendly all around..

[Aussieroaming]

I haven't experienced that...

[jpinx]

Very much. Many people tell me that Thais will try to be nice with a farang on his own, but not if he's got company. That's born out by my own experiences. Alone can be very funny, but with someone and you have created a cocoon of your "partnership" which no-one wants to violate

I'd imagine people would cross the road to avoid the OP.......everything else is merely his imagination.

Now he's back on the Gold Coast 'hangin' with his bros & lookin sick all the Thai stuff is irrelevant.

Agreed.

Courtesy also seems to be appreciated by people on all social levels.

For me, that's a positive that cancels out a lot of minor negatives.

[pgrahmm]

Good manners and courtesy are universally appreciated....including letting another (stranger - to boot) spend time with their companion....why would anyone question this.....? Basic life 101....

When you're "alone" or by yourself, in what way can some Thai person seem friendly? I find Thai people to be even more friendly when I'm actually with them ... whether one or more of them. When you're alone are these friendly companionable people imaginary or inflatable?

A friend for you when you're alone.

No, good manners and courtesy are definitely not universally appreciated.

In all too many of the 50+ countries I've been in, I've experienced a barely suppressed hostility on the part of the locals.

Thailand, if you get away from Bangkok and the tourist areas is a well known exception among knowledgeable travellers.

But getting back on topic... are these Thai slappers in Auckland giving you the cold shoulder or are you just reminiscing (again)?

Personally I get more turned on pulling an on thai slapper in auckland than in thailand its more of a chase and they arent after your money here just company as they are often lonely thats the middle aged ones anyway the amount of time older thai women crack onto me in bus stops,grocery stores, pokie rooms and pubs .

Amateur response u dont know enuff about thais to comment mate keep it to your self next time

[John1thru10]

Boom - I notice this ALL the time, ALL THE TIME!

Yes, finally confirmed, it is completely true!

[bendywire]

What a load of horrocks. The op is obviously trolling and full of bs.

[1FinickyOne]

yes - they are being polite… if i am out with my wife, it is rare that I will be approached. It would be considered an intrusion. I live in an area with few farang and I am often approached - by the curious and by people who want to practice their English...

Wow 50 plus countries and no good locals. Even in BKK? You should get a mirror and look at THE problem. Are you bragging about this?

[bridge2bridge]

Depends whether you are with a Man or Woman.

If a Woman other Thai Women will turn off.

[Chicken George]

You are only alone when you are on your own!

[mikiea]

Very much. Many people tell me that Thais will try to be nice with a farang on his own, but not if he's got company. That's born out by my own experiences. Alone can be very funny, but with someone and you have created a cocoon of your "partnership" which no-one wants to violate

dude you sound like dr. phill, man up a bit. not everyone needs to like you, i do not. :-)

50+ countries is a pretty good indicator that you're a tourist and will be treated as such My experience of living and working in many countries has been mixed, but Thailand rates very highly on the friendly list. As I said before - travelling alone is a very different experience to travelling as one half of a couple. Solo is much better for inter-acting with locals everywhere.

dude -- not everyone needs to man up -- some of us are men already Friends are the measure of your worth.......

[Nowisee]

some people just have the social vibe and attract people to talk with them.

others put off the "i'm not approachable" vibe and people stay away from them.

I've had friends that could gather a group of strangers within an hour and another that would not meet anyone for a day or two. Both rather friendly people.

[Rangsitreppin]

Next tour of phuket ill be alone and im not gonna bother befriending boring barflies i meet .

Im just gonna befriend jack jim and jager if hes around.
