Overt Racism in Thailand?

Post by GT93 » July 30, 2014, 3:23 pm

There might be a lot of slappers around Udon but I suspect there are also plenty of old foreign folks subjected to the occasional racist act who'd quickly drop their trousers, swallow some viagara, and go for a rumble with one of the said smiling slappers.

The slappers don't appear to be racist. They seem to be very broad minded. Tescos in Udon now seems to be as damaged a brand as Malaysian Airlines. Way too dangerous for many of us. I think the only safe way to shop at Tescos is to pick up a couple of slappers from Soi Samphan and go into Tescos holding hands with each of them.

They teach them young here about farlangs we live next door to my partners sister her oldest daughter has a little girl probably two years of age max every time she sees me she points and says farlang then laughs this does not worry me at all I guess there parents do not really know how much money and support we pump into UT or any where else in the land of smiles 555 yes you always get a greeting and a smile when you get on or off a plane thats what they are paid to do I cannot ever recall getting a smile from a Thai not even at the supermarket checkout.

So yes I think that racism is a alive and kicking and will keep going for many years to come.

Sounds like you are better off in farangland maaca46? Why would you stay in the country you describe?

I get heaps of smiles from Thai people and I'm not unduly handsome, wealthy or generous. The Thais are lovely people. If posters disagree then they need to think about returning home. What's life like for minorities in farangland?

Farang in Thailand are by and large a privileged lot. We pay sod all tax and the so-called racist (?) Thai women want to jump into bed with us. The booze is cheap. It sounds pretty good to me. If you want to try a country that might be difficult for you, I suggest Saudi Arabia. I'd then take farang complaints more seriously.

Think you missed the point GT the comment was they they teach the kids at a very young age about farlangs.

I am here for the same reason as you I love the place and the life style.

racism?? Yeah, I'm sure some Thais are racist but I'm also sure that their xenophobia would equally apply to the Kaek (Indians), the Yuan (Viets), Khmin (Khmer) and others... But, kids pointing at us and calling "Falang, Falang".. Nah, that doesn't bother me nor do I see it as "racist".. 40 years ago the dearth of Falang in Thailand meant if you went into the countryside you'd look like the Pied Piper walking down the street with 20 kids dancing along behind you calling, yupper, "Falang, Falang".. I never considered it insulting although it did bother me when very young kids would scream and hid their face when "Falang" walked near.. Something about getting their liver eaten I'm sure! Nowadays, when I hear some snide remark from a Thai I can either respond with a smart-ass response in dialect or merely look at them and say, "eyangco????" which generally gets a startled look and "bo bpen yang doc...." Seriously though, some a-holes snide comments don't bother me much at all.. I know who I am, what I've got and don't have to worry about some fool who doesn't like me for my looks or where I came from.

Agreed Frazee the terminology does not worry me one little bit I have been coming here for many years and have very thick skin when it comes to this I guess you might say that it reverts back to parents teaching.
