I refrained from responding with a very obscene expression in German I happen to know.

Might it be "untermenschen"

Bravo! Way to go.

Why ignore anyone? You should give as much as you get, is the policy!

It's a thing, like I started out in Nottingham, where being rude was a way of establishing your authority, then I moved to Brighton and was amazed at how soft people were, finally I came to Thailand, and met softness incorporated. So, to answer the question, if you find farangs rude, you've probably been away from home too long, it's normal behavior back home. Personally, I prefer the soft approach, iron fist in a velvet glove.

Ok, now that we're being brutally honest, considering that most "nutcases" or quirky people are probably not aware of their affliction, is it possible you could be one too?

 

If not, what gives you the right to judge? Judgmentalism is probably one of the more annoying "quirks", because the assumption is made that the one doing the judging is perfect. The name for that specific quirk is "narcissism".

 

Back to topic... we are all individuals, from different countries. Each country produces its own standard of normal, that might not be considered normal by a person of a different nationality.

 

Having said that, I find queue jumping by Thai people as annoying as done by any person of any nationality. The Thais don't get a pass for this behaviour. Thais who do it know they are doing it and that it is wrong, and one should stand one's ground. On the other hand, if I'm in a queue at at a supermarket, and I have a trolley full and the person behind me has a few items, I let them go ahead of me. Mostly they thank me. There is good and bad in all countries.

1.  farangs can't work here, except as a worthless English teacher and the farang will know they are worthless

Your policy, not mine. I've got to the stage where I don't take s##t from anybody, unless it is unavoidable here.

Disrespect me, patronise me, put me down and you go on my ignore list. Have had enough a###holes in my life, don't need the ones on TV as well.

I have met and have so many friends in Thailand

I feel lucky to have met all these great guys from around the world

 

But on the flip side, the farangs are the worst part of my 20yr experience in Thailand

1.  farangs can't work here, except as a worthless English teacher and the farang will know they are worthless

2.  that leaves doing nothing.  Nothing means drinking, getting young girls to drink, walking nowhere, driving nowhere, talking in horrible Thai that is impossible to understand, and spending 100 baht here and there in 40 C weather

3.  this place will drive you crazy if you have no PATH.   no PASSION means no identity.  Your "identity" will be ladyboys and rice with a lady who probably has 10 other sucker farang boyfriends.

 

You have to be secure, confident, rich, smart, and PASSIONATE before you come to LOS.

 

if not, you will hate yourself which means you hate everyone.  

 

hopefully everyone on here had a plan BEFORE Thailand and is following that plan.  

 

good luck tattoo farang!!!    I am now a monk, fluent in Thai, worth 100 billion baht, and saved 10,000 frogs from poachers.  

Let's explore you speaking total <deleted>.

 

You obviously can't get a job as an English teacher so unjustly attack them to inflate your own self-esteem. I bet you don't have a degree, do you?

 

I came here without a plan in 1002 and am pretty successful now, and extremely happy. I haven't been with bar girls since I got married, 20 years ago. Never been with a ladyboy(sober)

 

I speak very good Thai.

 

I have tattoos, do you know what 'akadti' means?

I managed a few words to a few select local expats and they all seem pleasant but I do keep my distance and prefer online discussions during unsociable hours.

I have a couple of friends here, see them occasionally. I prefer to keep to myself the rest of the time. My GF does not live with me 24/7, don't think I could handle that.

Otherwise known as a Liverpool kiss, it consists of head-butting an opponent with one's forehead to the nose and jaw.
