driftpig Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Just an observation: I have met a large number of my partners thai friends and family all over Thailand and one thing i always notice it there own picture on the home screen and back ground of there phone. Last night we caught up with a group of 16 school friends and i noticed the same thing, I asked her friends why they have pictures of them selfs and not of cars, chicks, partner or kids etc. None of them could answer and just laughed it off then we went back to drinking. Anyone else observed similar or can anyone explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaalle Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) They have photos because they believe the whole universe revolves around themselves... Remember that next time you fall out with someone here (not recommended) I disagree 100%. I would not call the average Thai self centered as compared to the average westerner. Not in a million years.

marko kok prong Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I generally rotate picture's of vegetables i have grown around my screen saver on both my phone and computer,does this qualify? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 They just love taking pictures of themselves. Just take a look at any of their facebook pages and all day it's a constant stream of pictures of themselves doing just about anything except in the shower or on the toilet. Most Thai's seem to be attention seekers in one way or another, something to do with an inferiority complex maybe ? Perhaps they doubt that they actually live in 'The greatest Nation on Earth' and find it a worry ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soutpeel Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 vanity is common among many people and cultures. of course how many aging farang's do you see in Thailand with "bad" dye jobs on their hair ? and some even have silly and very obvious "rugs" on their bonces...I mean who are they kidding ? chaps grow old gracefully, the dye in your grey hair is obvious, as is the beast of a thing your calling a wig on your heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeegee Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 the beast of a thing your calling a wig on your heads More like, preferring not to refer to as a wig on their heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Anyone else observed similar or can anyone explain. Conversely, the reason most farang in Thailand don't use photos of themselves as screen savers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
