khunpa Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I would far from call myself a "Thai-lover", but at least I get respect, when I visit the family of my wife or they visit us. But this is also very much because of my wife and properly also because I actually show them (her family and friends) respect. If you do not get respect, then it is both due to yourself, but also your wife who does not respect you. Any chance your are one of those "We Americans know it all and are the best" - guys?

MaeJoMTB Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 "I personally believe that most consider me to be simply on the same status of Buffalo. I have supported my family with an income in excess of multiples of what Thais make, and I've spent a majority of my retirement funds taking care of my family." Wasting you hard earned money on this lot ......... they may be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaeJoMTB Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I do wonder why with so many of you obviously dis-liking the people and country so much, why you are still here?

HeijoshinCool Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 1/ The average Thai is not taught more than the most basic of manners, Major bullshit. They're taught manners plenty; they just not manners that your average self -important farang would pick up on. Maybe you should develop an awareness of the cultural nuances before making stupid generalisations. . Any number of Thais will say the same thing: Thais are taught few manners, and in a very narrow range at that. But thanks for the polite response, your Thainess.

kannot Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I agree UK is cr#p place to live could not wait to leave. Many good things too, but these days i find most people younger than me seem to all want to be thugs "innit" and the govt is ridiculous with its extreme laws, Thailand is however way to lax, never a happy medium.

People migrate to another country, learn its ways, its culture and its people. Usually for people with half a brain, it takes years not months to actually understand how things work. By the time, one has a clear understanding, its not as easy as ABC to pack and go else where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumbastheycome Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 No background history makes it hard to comment. But often it is a case of "respect gets respect". And that does not entail pretending to beThai even after many years. Also takea minute to think....what is the interaction of the same people with other Thai? There is no single factor for sure...and an open wallet will not help it or fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't you the guy who don't like hookers? That is surly a product of being young and PC or some cult thing from your upbringing. I think you are brainwashed and that strikes me as forced. Thailand unbrainwashes most men in a few years so stick around you may get your free will back. My apologies if I got the wrong guy and you do like hookers like a normal male in Thailand and fit quite well into the social scheme of things here.

Selling business is NOT easy and takes months if not years. Selling house is just as hard. Of course letting it all go for 10th of what its worth is easier, but then not sure about yourself, but i like to keep my hard earned money.
