I have a retirement visa (for fifteen years) and they never question me either. Which begs the question, who is being questioned and why?

I don't know anyone who has a retirement VISA?????

What has Bali got you can't get in Tesco Lotus ?

The aggressive stray dog issue in thailand is non existing in comparison with Bali.

About these Chinese tourist  girls i notice they do not have any flirting skills.They completely ignore u to say the least.

They don't flirt, but they are easy once you learn how to deal with them.

 

I now have a Chinese gf so I don't play around, but it is an all-you-can-eat buffet if you put in the effort and show them a good time first.

 

WeChat is a must have app if you're  doing anything with the Chinese.

Obviously whoever is behind this prediction has not taken into account Thailand will have competition that will flatline the tourist industry...

Never mind, a few more rape victims, a couple of more unexplained suicides, one or two more privilaged boys mowing down fellow road users and getting away scott free with it, dual pricing, etc., etc., etc. will soon help to rectify the "boom" in tourists numbers. 

 

I took the Airport Link today from Payathai Station. Was it designed by a chimpanzee? Never again!  

 

No wonder infrastructure here has "choke" points buckling under the numbers of commuters.

When referring to English speaking foreigners I say Farang.

When referring to English speaking foreigners who have lived for most of their working lives overseas, so are not recent arrivals or tourists I say Expats.

When referring to only a particular race of foreigners I'll use the correct term to describe their race, Chinese, Indian, etc

When referring to all foreigners (although I tend to be referring to tourists types, not migrant workers as they don't really count) I'll just say foreigners.



 

Correct...but what counts even more in this thread is what Thais call them, and farang is a term used only for Caucasian foreigners.  Indians are called khaek, Chinese are called jiin, etc.  The only variation to this is that light-skinned Indians and light-skinned Middle Easterners are sometimes called "khaek khaw."

Or the limited language skills topped off by an absence of social skills and poor hygiene of the suitor?

In my experience being within a few feet of many Chinese tourists in Thailand, the last thing they would be able to notice on a farang would be odor from poor hygiene...

I cracked it by accident i bumped into one in the 7/11 u will get their attention ?

She was young once, never innocent but always excited, white smile, wide eyes, and energetic. Just standing with her feeling the wet, warm breeze made you stronger. 

 

Now, 25 years later, she's tired. So many have come and left. Deep clouds block the sun and the sea air smells rotten.

Exactly its obvious chinese can never complain or be turned down about some poor hygiene of their date.Getiatrikid just made up a non issue.Its really a language issue and or that they really been brought up with the idea to only date same race!!
