true word Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 it doesn't matter to me if someone can not pay me back but to be honest about Thai people when they can not pay back at least they show a lot of gratitude and offer to help as much as they can, not like others who just forget about you.

DLang Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Quote Do many Thais hate us, because they feel we've much more than them? Of course. But Thais are the best friends money can buy, so many that haven't been here for 10 yrs+ might not see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one scratches my Toyota pick-up or burgles our house. Actually it used to surprise me years ago how expensive cars such as Mercedes-Benz would sometimes be parked on roads next to slums and yet they would never be vandalized.

Are you okay Bershire, you seem awfully defensive. The point, HG, is that your entire premise is wrong. "Many Thais" do not hate us. If some do, it has nothing to do with perceived wealth. Do poor Thais automatically hate rich Thais? Do poor farangs hate rich farangs? It's a rather simpleton assumption. So since your premise and thread title is grossly inaccurate, i.e., dead wrong, what then is your question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldragon Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I don't know what they feel, but at this point enough of them have money that it's pointless to hate foreigners b/c of the perception that we're wealthier. Look around. Sure seems like their fellow Thais are the ones showing off anything they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word 'automatically' kind of indicates it is from birth. Which of course it isn't. Nurture not nature. Schadenfreude exists within every culture, in Thailand they take it to the extreme, but keep it well hidden. Except when the country almost erupts into rich versus poor civil war.... of course.

In high power distance societies, of which Thailand largely is, people tend to accept their place in the pecking order. This completely contradicts your point.

Gecko123 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'm gonna go out on a limb here... Based on the OP's history of posting negative crap about Thais, and that birds of the same feather tend to stick together, I would be quite surprised if the OP's friend didn't do something to antagonize the security guards. That is, of course, if the story isn't just made up garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotheruser Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 On 3/26/2017 at 6:30 AM, whoareyou said: Can't believe it, a thai bashing thread that failed to gain momentum? Funny how we see things in different perspectives. I was thinking this thread would lead to farang bashing. I would say that many Thai people dislike us and have a low impression of farang. The reasons for this should be obvious. One theory is our relative wealth, the fact that we buy their women and guys, the fact we have bad breath, the fact we smell bad in general, the fact we really have no money when it comes down to it, the fact we are drunk at 10 am on a Sunday in Pattaya, the fact that we complain incessantly about anything Thai, that we also never say anything nice about another farang confirming their dislike, that we give a beggar a few baht and feel that makes us worthy of staying without a visa, the list goes on forever as far as valid reasons Thais may hate or dislike us. The truth about our wealth is that most farang living in Thailand would be under the poverty line back home. We constantly compare places to live and rate them on what is the absolutely cheapest place that let's anybody in. The Thais themselves are seeing this and efforts are being made to limit those types. This leads me to conclude that these days the Thais are actually beginning to resent our lack of wealth in many ways. So it is possible that they have the impression that we are all millionaires but the kind that never spend a dime. Look at the sampling size the Thais have seen since the VN war. Tell me you would want the large majority of those kind of people visiting your country and living there? So to answer the question I don't think Thai people hate farang solely based upon our perceived wealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoareyou Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Most long term expats live like thais especially outside bangkok. Never hear many bragging about 30k rent but countless comments on 4k rent. I think thais probably wondering why so poor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
