What is it with ex-pats and bragging? They love to do it. It's always over superficial shite that they believe is important to them or makes them look like they are knowledgeable about Thailand and it's locals.

Some of the most common brags.

1. My wife has a degree
2. My wifes family is "connected"
3. My wifes uncles brothers dogs uncles friends uncles next door neighbour is the chief of police of Nakhon Nowhere.
4. I'm friends with somebody who is connected
5. I'm friends with somebody who is the chief of police Nakhon Nowhere
