Beautiful Thai generosity to farangs.

[Chairman Mao]

Thais are such a beautiful people.

A friend here was going through some hard times just after emigrating a few years back. He pretty much had nothing to his name, and little hope, a Thai woman he had been seeing for a month, lent him 3,000b to get up to a tefl interview, which was successful, and that first month was so hard that she had to sell her gold rings just to help him get by those first weeks/months.

That was 6 years ago, both have since flourished, both together as a couple and individually financially.

So what heart warming stories do you have of Thai generosity to us foreign immigrants?

A rare but heartening tale. Almost makes me want to sign my property over to GF.

Not so rare....if you observe deeper.

Rare indeed, certainly not the theme of how Thais treat farangs. Far from it.

Deeper than bars full of $10 cumpipes RS?


Some might struggle.

Struggle, indeed. At least there are a few of us that understand.

On my one of my early visits here I got well pissed, ended up with no money and far away from my accommodation which was in Pakret.
A bar girl who I had been talking to in Soi 22, had'nt even brought her a drink, gave me 300 baht to get a tuk tuk back to the digs. I went back the next night to repay her and gave her a free dorking, my way of expressing gratitude.

Many moons ago I arrived from Hong Kong late at night with $20 , 1200 baht and two cameras. I went to Thermaes to sweat it out until morning over a couple of beers to save on hotel costs. A hooker I knew insisted on buying 1 camera for 2000 baht, taking me home to her room and bonking me for free and letting me stay with her untill I pulled down some cash from a bit of teaching. Ah....the lovely Nit from Nonthaburi....where are you now I wonder. Last heard of shacked up with some finnish bloke who two timed her.

[Chairman Mao]

they are a lovely people.

Singer who I will not name not only paid 5000 baht for a table at a recent night out but then her equally nice husband paid the 6.000 baht bill at the end of the night. It was for her family as well as us but they would not take anything from us. Same person took her fans and dancers out a while back, food and booze all paid for along with a large charity donation. No publicity was gained in any of this, the singer is just very nice. She also paid for our tickets at a very expensive concert, again no publicity.
Another singing act gave me a large display of flowers for my birthday earlier this year which was a real surprise. Fans have given me money in karaokes to get a taxi home when it was raining (refused it), not to mention food, drink, trinkets, photo's etc.
Lost my phone this week and was thinking 'those thieving Thais' when a few hours later got a call from the finder who handed it back. They are not all money grabbing by any means.

See the earlier thread "NAME AND SHAME"
Boy that was big of them! Have you any idea the financial crisis that these two poor fuckers must be in??? The wife has just paid out 5000 Baht on food (for one night) an average Thai wage for one month,(she'll be needing a good two weeks down Soi Cowboy to recoup that!) then fuck me, the poor husband has been robbed of another 6000 Baht,(He's going to have to send back down the Cowboy Street for at least another 3 weeks to get that lot back) a month and a bit's wages... on DRINK..(Did the bar staff and waiters mistake them for Farang...they were probably white skinned?) .have you any idea how much lao Kao and kao neeiow 11000 baht can buy...I could feed my village and have them as pissed as an average Scouser for a month on that...shame!!!!
Shit, that must have took months of saving up from working everyday in the rice paddies at 180 baht a day to FEED THE RICH!

If you have a problem paying for your taxis home, and then refuse the offer of payment...do you walk a lot?

And when you lost your phone...did you have any credit on it? or were you waiting for some singers and friendly Thais to top your refill up and pay for the taxi?

You really must swing with the real Thai Street Dogs!

11K on a night out, that would feed a family here for 1 thousand years!

Did you eat lobsters and that..like caviar and fishy eggs and special stuff? crabs testicles, bear paws? did it taste like shit but just out of gratitude and the elevated social standing, you pretended it was absolutely delicious, like caviar and vodka? when really you would rather have a plate of fucking chips!

[DaffyDuck]

They are not all money grabbing by any means.

They aren't - it's been my experience that usually 'a certain class of' people attract the terrible experiences with Thais they invariably talk about - 'nuff said.

Most Thais I know are generous, honest people - this isn't to say that there aren't the occasional loser or dishonest rip off, but they are in the minority, by far.

Thais are such a beautiful people.
So what heart warming stories do you have of Thai generosity to us foreign immigrants?

When my son was born his Thai grandparents threatened to kidnap him and make me pay big money if I ever wanted to see him.

That warmed my heart so much that my blood began to boil.

Not really, just cold and heartless people with not an ounce of morality about them

A whole 9 posts before this thread predictably descended into the usual Thai-bash-athon.

That's gotta be some sort of Teak Door record!

thanks ant, for fukking up mao's thread with YOUR prejudice and fukkn stupidity. you DESERVE the reputation you have of being the forum crunt!!!

Great, so can one of you guys agree to give the other the last word? This thread was getting kind of interesting, including your contribution, tsicar.

I have a nice little storey about about a bar girl who stopped another bar girl from robbing my wallet if that will help to put the thread back on track.

They were fighting over who managed to get it out of my back pocket, when I spotted them they quietly handed it back to me.
How's that for a heart warming story.

pissed me off that "it"saw fit to attack me after i just made was possibly my first pro-thai post on the forum.
this was a good thread, 'til THAT prick put his nose in to try screw it up.
ant will always make sure he throws both the first, and the last insult, so in the interests of keeping this, (a thread i myself find of interest) civil, i will agree not to post any replies to ant's bullshit insults and baiting.

I mean the grandparents not all Thais

A Freelancer Bargirl paying a mate (young) of me 500 baht a day to pork her, the poor sod had no money left, so she suported him. However there was a nowegian guy in the back suporting her. It must have been work for him, she was hummmm, average looking at best.

Happend a second time to another mate, but he just got free accomodation and some cheap thai food every day. She didnt have a sponsor, so Mama Noodles had to do.
