Why are farangs rude to each other?

I see many posts in FB Farang groups where the poster goes on about his expensive house,  car, how much income etc.  Wannabes who think they are special 

...and some people jab at Thais saying they don't take the stickers off their TV-s, A/C's etc.

Basically, humans are humans, whatever their origin is - all the traits are embedded in them and pops up when an occasion arises - sometimes the bad ones pops up for no reason too.

Due to the unequal wealth distribution, racism flourishes.

100% true. Yet people still fail to understand this.

You do have me wondering if there is any point to starting a thread on ThaiVisa. I must have some masochistic tendencies.

Do some farangs acquire new norms of courtesy when they move abroad?

Yes... fat, old farangs and the younger ugly ones believe the bar girls and upcountry bumbkins when they say 'lorr mak!'

 

The older ones end up marrying 30 years younger than themselves and wondering why the woman has suddenly lost interest in them afterwards.

 

The younger ones become self-confident a--holes that screw around and continue screwing around after having a family here.

 

Thailand does have a funny way of changing folks. Not happened to me yet... although i'm sure we'll see which one i'll fall into later!

Valid points. I'm not sure if I belong in the first category, because I refuse to marry for various reasons, and my 53 yo Thai GF thinks the sun shines out of my a##e.

Next time tell the offender to Tuck off  ( sorry if I spelt it wrong )

Then wait for the ensuing punch up.

Or just accept it and mumble under your breath for the next week or so

Up to you to decide

AFAIK the racism comes from the ruling elite and HiSo's. IME the average Thai does not have it.

HA HA exactly. 
And a place beginning with the letter P is where most of them tend to congregate..

I remember a quote from Isaac Asimov's Foundation series. " Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent".

I did say in my OP that he gave way ungraciously.

Don't blame Thailand for that. It is the  majority of a--holes that come to Thailand who CANNOT change...They are born a--holes - and with their 'extra money', they think they are GOD amongst the poor. Takes a lot, to comprehend this logic.

Very true.

Unfortunately they are the majority and they 'gang up' together. The good ones can hardly be seen. Sad, very sad indeed.

There's a lot of middle ground between those two extremes.
