Thread: Losing Face

What is all this talk about Thai's losing face ?

Losing face - to be publicly embarrassed.

Or even privately in some cases.

Central to a Thai persons existence...

A cultural deficiency.

Best you dont ask

Losing face is an animal thing, a monkey thing to be exact

it's based on pride and position, in a class structure system, like the monkeys and many animals have

evolved monkeys, that is the western white man, have learn to repress it like many of their animal instincts, yet it remains, so losing face is not reserved to Asians only.

Thai are not on the same level of evolution as the western man, so you have to accept their "animal" instincts, nothing wrong with that.

A total loss of face can be disastrous to some.

Everybody has "face"...it's just the degree

bullshit.

the number of fights in bars across England every week is testament to that

And Farang have no Face...

The A Team had Face.

That's why some folks believe Thais are two faced--they can lose one and still function with the other.

I quite often get off my face...

Not the same thing I guess.

I know some folks who have lost their minds...

Not the same either.

I like pussy sitting on my Face...

Its a crap thing and makes it difficult sometimes to find and make other Thai / Farang friends or couples because they dont like what they first see and arent prepared to talk to them, yet i can talk with the husband easy enough. The problem is that they dont trust each other, even their friends.

I agree with that. Hence why they won't form 'co-operatives'.

..it's childish shite to be honest..the nation would be in better nick without the notion..

NO, YOU CAN'T VIOLENTLY DEMONSTRATE ON THE STREETS OF BANGKOK AND SET THE BASTARD PLACE ON FIRE...

Oh, ok, sorry about that..we'll just wait patiently and speak with our votes in the next election.

THAT'S BETTER!


See ..problem solved.

There was this lady that lost face due to attack of a monkey some month ago...

...they just made the first full face transplant few weeks ago to some guy...

Go and smack a Thai on the head whilst screaming "Kwai !!!"

All will become clear

Or go into a bar and shout GARY, pronounced-- GA REEE,

Same as in ordering a tiger beer

Note. Don't go drinking with people called Gary

^ Or step over their dinner whilst they're grazing on the floor and lep rip a belter..never fails to impress that one..

You seem well versed in this theory,wouldn't be a coincidence would it?

Here's another they don't like, pointing at something on the bottom shelf in 7/11

He ha ha i just ran this by the missus and she said if you say that to the man, maybe you got shot. She was reffering to "Kwoi" as in dick head, i have heard that its the same when you say "Kwai" (buffalo) to a woman, probably both have the same outcome. She just said another very big no no is giving "The Bird" to a Thai person.
