You don't have to say fuckin ridiculous thing, Smeg. They would not talk to me anyway. I don't think they would think that they could make some money from a Thai girl like me.

Wow, you have a very low opinion of some Thai girls.

Probably knows from own experiences.

Yes, indeed.

So are you saying YOU wish you were born Thai or are you guilty of double standards?

Can't say I'd want to be born into poverty and a life of limited opportunities.

Are you kidding?? No fecking way. Who in their right mind would want to be stuck in this place forever, needing a visa and a lottery win to be able to go almost anywhere else!

I'm not guilty of double standards because I have never claimed to love the people and culture, and thus I fully admit to exploiting the place for this short period of my life. I have no desire to stay here forever, and as soon as I'm bored of my job and my hobbies here, I'll be gone.

Quote of the week!

Aw quit whining, I was just having a bit of a laugh.

Fair enough, but you are saying that I like chalk so I must therefore like cheese. And the Thaiophile disciples just jump on the bandwagon for lack of anything intelligent to say.

I'm not saying anything, I'm just quoting you. Anyway, got any nice pics of girls with no clothes you'd care to share?

Thats really sad.

Never wanted to be a Thai ... never wanted to be anything but a seppo. Maybe a pom ?

As per my previous post, they see lying and cheating as a good way to fix problems or make personal gain, they live in a self-obsessed bubble, they use a smile to hide their true feelings (some expats here seem to love this 2-faced approach), they usually only interact with the outside world for personal gain, they are obsessed with money and status, they think that they are a superior race (and yet would still being living in the dark ages without Western invented electricity, vehicles, communications, construction technology etc) etc etc etc

Are you stereotyping the entire population or just the Thais you know ?

^As per my previous post

But if most of the hundreds I have met are like this, it is possible to begin to generalise.
