Why are there so many farang problem drinkers in Thailand?

[huawei]

I fink folk should mind their own business.........

Funny how that "mind your own business" line comes up whenever the usual suspects are uncomfortable with the topic.

Excessive drinking, large age-gap relationships and monthly stipends . . . same, same

You seem to have a chip on your shoulder about the age gap thing. It is all we ever hear from you.

I would bet my last satang that you are resentful and jealous.

Why do people always revert to emotions like resentful and jealous..there is no bigger chip than that..

Why would CH be jealous anyway , he came here at a younger age didn't wait for his pension and waste a good 20 years..

Your ability to pay a local woman with financial imperatives to pretend to like you?

It works for me!

And so much easier than pretending to listen to what they say ...... or care about their 'feelings'.

Up to you

But am I jealous?

Yeah, 'course I am

Fair enough for you I guess - but some of us actually like women.

I'd say that a lot were/had/made/experienced/instigated-created/refined-defined-identified/initiated their own set of problems long before landing here.....

But the alcohol blame game (being what it is and represents) is much easier to invoke/lay claim to/use here.......Let the Thai's be the fall girls/guys.....

It's rife on TVF.....

Easier to point a finger than to take responsibilty......

OP is a troll post... but what the hell... i feel like answering...

So 70% of the expats you meet have an issue with alcohol? How do you actually know that? What is an "alcohol issue/problem" according to you, 1 beer a day, 10 beers every saturday, 3 beers every second day and so on? How do you know that the people you have met are actually expats and not just 1-2 month tourists (technically almost all the white monkeys in Thailand are tourists)?

And lastly, why do you care if someone drinks? It's frankly none of your business, take your socialist wannabe high horse attitude and put it somewhere the sun doesn't shine.

So you like a drink then? So do I.

I don't get smashed, but if i wanted too, as you say, what's it to do with them.

More often than not, nothing at all if he/she drinks responsibly but, really, is Thailand the land of self-restraint?

Most of the time, people get loud, aggressive and impose those states on others who happen to be nearby but aren't inebriated

How come I am no problem when had a few beers, and l am English....?

My singing is renowned in LOS after I have had a few beers.......Ask Weegee..

Because, from what I gather from your previous posts, you can't actually afford to get hammered

How would that affect his drinking?

[StreetCowboy]

Because one has a historical usage as a term of racial abuse towards a minority, and the other doesn't.

I'm always puzzled when people struggle with this stuff. It's pretty straightforward.

Pakistan is a minority...................191,000,000........UK..65,000,000

I am English, traced a thousand years of my history....Then call me a Norman, much prefer an Englander , but l cannot in some opinions use a shortened version of their homeland, Pakistan.....Why is that...?

Racial abuse.....Bwaaaaaaaah.......Gawd..

Pakistanis are a minority in the UK.

Again, I'm amazed I'm having explain something so obvious.

But i bet a case of Chang beer (if that is your taste) that you do not find the word farang offensive.

By the same rule you can't call me a Brit when I'm in Thailand.

Unless you're a racist.

What do you call British people?

One reason you cant call a Pakistani a Paki in England is because 40 million white people will tell you its offensive.

I have a local shop near me called Paki. It is run by Pakistanis and plenty of white people go there to get what they need.

You have to understand you are offending a lot of non Pakistanis by calling a Pakistani a Paki.

Hope you now understand

I lived there for 45 years. Some Brits may suggest to you it is not too complimentary, but being offended ? I disagree.

Complaints about white racial marginalization surfacing on a thread about problem drinking in Thailand.

It's the Thaivisa version of Godwin's law - when a thread gets long enough, eventually someone will claim that the word 'farang' is racist.

[Jedsada3]

Hello,

I guess that boredom is the first reason of drinking.

70% only? I think a lot more... and that's the reason why Thais call them Farang kee nok, it's because you see it everywhere

They are horrid creatures. God should have given blokes vagina's instead of women.

Naah - was just trying to lighten it up and stave off the inevitable upcoming fisticuffs.....

[pgrahmm]

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer.

The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.

My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said 'nothing'.

The reason I said 'nothing' instead of saying 'just thinking' is because she then would have asked 'about what?'

At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions.

Finally I pondered an age old question:

Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they "know"?

Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question.

Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really "know", here is the reason for my conclusion.

A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."

On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."

I rest my case. Time for another beer, and then maybe a nap in that hammock.

A lot of deep thinkers here apparently.....

No one has the right to not be offended. If we are to limit freedom of speech after "the offended" we will end up with nothing.

Sooooo.......

Using paki for a minority in UK is deathjunkienaziracistfascistislamophobia according to you but using farang for a minority in Thailand is perfectly ok?

Yeeeahh... makes perfect sense. If you are a SJW that is.

[SoiBiker]

You know, I think I'd rather have another kick in the balls than go through the whole 'farang' debate again.

OK Mr. Vic Tim White, try this one out . . .

Walk up to 100 Pakistanis in the UK and call them a Paki, what percentage do you think would take offence?

I'd say about 99%

Walk up to 100 Caucasians in Thailand and call them a farang, what percentage do you think would take offence?

I'd say only only one or two Thaivisa forum whingers who can't help losing in life no matter how stacked the deck is in their favour

[MaeJoMTB]

If I were in England, I would assume they were British.

So the correct insult would be 'Brit'.

Biologically, there is no such thing as race, but aside from that we know what you are trying to say.

So it's a queston of skin color (again)... how do you SJW's not see that you guys are the biggest racists on this infinitely worthless and puny planet in the grand scheme of things?

I think you should try to keep up even though it can be hard with chronic cognitive dissonance. Seems it's hard for SJW's to understand that no one has the right to not be offended. Feelings are the last thing anyone should have to think about when uttering words to anyone.

Only if they are white (according to SJW's). Skin color, skin color and skin color... that's the only thing that's important to SJW's.

[MaeJoMTB]

Are black people are allowed to be SJWs?

I though it was a 'white only' club.

Oh I get it

You move the goalposts whenever you moronic diatribes are blown out of the water and everyone else is wrong?

How white of you

[pgrahmm]

So - these Paki's/farangs/Brits/SJW's are all problem drinkers in Thailand?

Lady drinks for everybody....Ring the bell.....

Anybody see a loose thread around here?
