I have read on Teak door that some people who post here feel Thai people to be racist against farang. I personally have not experienced this, could some of those who feel this way give me some examples.

double pricing would be a good start, accidents alot of times the farang is to blame,
I have seen signs in Thailand at hotels no Africans allowed, Also have seen hotels turn indians away from hotels because of they are indian,
Thai people are racist to the extent that they think Thailand and its people are most important to them than the rest of the world.Is nationalism racism????
Some hotels on Khao San road mention : No Thai People allowed
We can say that kids spot the foreigner by shouting Farang farang, but to call this racism !?!
Racist, xenophobic, nationalistic, lying, cheating, corrupt. But apart from that they are nice people.
My wife's family accept me OK, but they are also very racist again Issan, Burmese and Blacks and a lot of other people and as has been stated, the best way is the Thai way.
^ exactly, unless they want something from you when they are as nice as pie. I just do not understand where they all get this unshakable belief that they are innately superior to all other races. A good dose of colonialism would have done wonders for them
You might ask the ones that believe themselves to be innately superior, what have they done in the last 100 years? Without the Americans, the Brits, and the Ausies, they would be speaking Japanese...or Chinese.
Who invented the personal computer? Two college drop outs from San Jose, California.
Who invented the operating system used world wide. Windows> Bill Gates
The World Wide Web.
ATM machines.
Discovered elecricity, invented the telephone.
Mass produced the auto>Henry Ford
Television...not sure about this one,
It is true that the Thai's domesticated the chicken, 3,000 years ago
the pig 3,000
What have you done lately?
In every race there are the genius, the saints, the inventors, the artists, the musicians...and the cooks...thanfully.
There were no Thai's one thousand years ago never mind three. I have heard Thai's refer to Africans as chocolate man and monkeys, but then be polite to their face. Pretty sure some do the same to us, they would be unique in the world if some did not. What did the Thai's ever invent, apart from the barfine? a few dubious patents excepted.
Racism is actually a very natural thing. It will never be eliminated, no matter how hard the tree-huggers, or is that the pinko liberals? try. At best it can only be subdued, bottled.
Thai are just more openly racist than the subdued upstanding US citizen for instance.
The real problem is not that the Thai are racist. It is that they are racist cvnts.
Just to be clear, I do not believe my race / nationality to be innately superior to any other. Except maybe the French.
Why are the Frogs superior? thought they came out as the worst tourists in the world in a survey last week, and they always pretend they can't speak English.
The frogs are not superior, that's what I'm saying. Unwashed, cheese eating, unshaven, arrogant, surrender monkeys.
But my wife's family never asks me for anything and will refuse money if offered, and my wife puts as much money into our bank account as I do and pays her bills herself, so there is no difference in our relationship than if we were both of the same race.Originally Posted by lingmau
And that good dose of colonialism did not effect how Americans feel about themselves and their race, which is Immigrant really.
Well, the racist fuckers put up with me, so that's all I'm really bothered about.

BG, my exactly was directed at the post above yours, you just posted too quickly. Sure there are some gems around but I've given the whole lot up as a bad job and married a Vietnamese. Father in law may be a no good gambling alcoholic but the rest of the clan work HARD for a living.
Scotland is wet and dreary. Don't let anybody tell you different. Even the hills are mostly just big mounds, not proper mountains like the Alps or the Rockies. People will tell you it's all romantic and rugged but I've yet to see the evidence. Even when it's nice it's covered in a cloud of these bastard little insects called midges so you have to stay inside anyway. Plus it's ful of Scots. Case rested
Same shit happens here, some cool some fucked up, I get on alright mostly and have a few friends, but still I do see some racist tendency's in them, and they do not seem to like some people and I notice that they are mostly racist again Blacks and I take it was from the American service personnel that were here during the Viet Nam conflict and the actions of some of them that word went around.Originally Posted by lingmau
I thought BF was our token French poster?
I thought that Bfly was actually a Greek from his sex preferences.
Well, if nationalism is your measurement as to an assessment of what racism might be, than most cultural populations might be considered bigots of every sort. Dare I say.....the embodiment of the general Thai character is not steeped into nationalistic thought. Most Thais aren't of a political nature, which is the fabricated soul in which a nationalistic body lends itself. Societal and cultural conditioning is a greater influence.
Not racist but just as bad in the way they treat non-Thais. Just look at the laws regarding foreigners even those who have resided here for decades. I guess the Thais have a right to do as they please to foreigners as it is their country. I came here with interest in Thai people and their culture and learned that this country and its temples are run and owned for the most part by corrupt exploitive people. You can't have any respect for those who have any power here because they are all sellouts for money and opportunity. Thailand is a very sick country in many ways.
The racism and ill treatment of foreigners here comes from those in power and the wealthy Thais who have raped the sons and daughters of the poor here for centuries. The poor here are just as much victims of the system as the foreigners are here.
