no you wouldnt.

Really? When some girl did that to me in the movies I asked her to wash her feet if she was going to stick them in my face. She removed them right smartish.

Stinky farang in Thailand. Holy of holies. This can't be possible.

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. 

Yeah, right. Just westerners eh?

Yeah right - just westerners in my experience - so bad that I started to use taxi transport to avoid.  Not that we all stink - but know I have been ripe at times - and do not find this often among Thai.

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.

You seem to misunderstand "women's lib".

She's probably just uninformed as to the etiquette and customs of Thailand re: feet...

 

This is the first time I hear that it is part of "the etiquette and customs" of France to put one's feet up on the head rest of another seat when that seat is not occupied.

Certainly. She's a rude moron and would deserve it if he had actually done something about it. 

Only a weak, pathetic man would condone violence against a woman. Grow some balls.

Maybe you need to take a moment and think about it. 

She wasn't beaten, colinneil was using a figure of speech.  Maybe you need to take a moment and think about it.

LOL. No I don't. However, some seem to think it means giving women equality in everything, but still treating them as if we lived in Victorian times and they were all "ladies".

[dick dasterdly]

We're going through this AGAIN?!

 

Its unacceptable in (I think) ANY culture to stick your feet inches away from a strangers' head in a confined space!

I worked in a female dominated occupation for most of my working life. I used to be like you before I did so, but actually working with them cured me of all that. Women can be really vicious but they know they can get away with it because a man won't hit them.

Now I treat them like any other person I might meet.

That's disgusting... what kind of ignorant, self centered, impolite, lazy, disrespectful person would be so inconsiderate as to put their feet up on a Thai persons seat, 30 cm from his head? No wonder so many Thais dislike Farang and consider them sub standard!  Hope she is leaving soon... if not, deport her... maybe there is a portrait of the king above her little toes.

WOW I better re-read that article on changing times and attitudes I think we have a live on here.

As I think they outlawed water boarding I think they are going to replace it with this. Just put a box around the interrogated head and stuff it with old socks.

Actually, he did. If you watch the video he clearly uses what English he has, and remember this is Thailand and she's French. He says "No" and gestures to move the feet. She clearly understands and moves one before putting it quickly back with a "fcku you" arrogant glance.

 

Just an arrogant low class smelly French woman with no manners and attitude. 

 

H e should have complained to the crew.

Aaahhh, I get it now,.... "needs a damn good slap" is a metaphor for intelligent discussion.

I'm truly sorry that you have had the misfortune to meet physically aggressive Western women - but you'll have your work cut out convincing me this is 'the norm'!

I'd hardly call a slap a beating. Maybe he should have just started tickling the offending feet.

Sorry, just seemed like you were trying to downgrade "a damn good slap" to a "figure of speech" on Colin's behalf. Anyway, enough guys, let's stop all this "she deserves a slap" nonsense, she put her feet (in cleanish looking socks) on an unoccupied headrest for goodness sake..... keep it real.
