webfact Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Man foiled by Farang's foul feet speaks out on his ordeal By Asaree Thaitrakulpanich, Staff Reporter Narong Thaopanya and the smelly feet he encountered March 30. Photo: Facebook / Narong Thaopanya BANGKOK — The peeved protagonist who appeared in a viral clip battling an unidentified French woman’s funky feet spoke out Wednesday about his motivations for going public with his stinking ordeal. “I didn’t know this story would become this famous,” 21-year-old volunteer soldier Narong Thaopanya said, laughing. “I just want foreign tourists to hopefully do less of this and show some manners. It especially looks bad when a woman does it.” Full story: http://www.khaosodenglish.com/culture/net/2017/04/12/man-foiled-farangs-foul-feet-speaks-ordeal/ -- © Copyright Khaosod English 2017-04-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkidlad Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 "I just want foreign tourists to hopefully do less of this and show some manners" And this basically sums up the moral of the story; sanctimony. And of course butt hurt foreigners who feel they've been shamed by someone who shares the same race. Little bit of advice to anyone: if someone thinks you're an a-hole because someone who shares the same nationality or race as you does something bad, they're the a-hole. Not you.

Anyways: what a storm in a tea- cup, but I guess the oh-so-not-confrontational- Thai couldn't have solved the problem any other way!

lemonjelly Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 She's probably just uninformed as to the etiquette and customs of Thailand re: feet..... I personally feel that this guy is a complete wet blanket for wasting bandwidth with such whining best left to older ladies' gatherings at the morning market.

lopburi3 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 It was not about foot customs (which she might not be aware of) - it was about BO. As a former traveler on vans (for visa runs) I have experience with that and indeed found many westerners to have less than pleasant odors in such confined spaces.

bannork Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Next time I suggest Francoise travels in the back of an open pick-up with her feet dangling over the back. That way no other fellow passengers will be affected and no vehicle will dare tailgate, fearing the fermenting fumes from the not so fresh socks.

"move your feet" There is a short clip of him asking the woman to put her feet down. She listens and ignores him, then when the man stops talking to her she just puts her feet back on the top of the seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you for real, bloody ignorant bitch needs a damn good slap. Nowhere in the world is it considered polite to do such a thing.

(Tip: correct answer could include such vocabulary as: explain, communication, educate, polite, calm,) answers that condone violence to young females reflect your personality. keep thinking...... Why is her gender a factor? Never heard of "women's lib"? Women have fought for and won equality with men ( and I have no argument with that ), but that means they have to accept being treated the same as men. If she wants to behave like an inconsiderate moron, she can be treated like one accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
