Lusty Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Is she a BG? Maybe she's shy. Um,no but she has just returned back from Thailand and gave me 30,000 bht towards April spends and she only drew £100 out the bank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USVirgin Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Classism (if that's a word) works both ways. I know a university educated Thai whose husband runs a liquor and wine shop in the States. She has told me that most Thai wives who come in think she is snooty because she doesn't speak like they do. They automatically take it for granted that she must be an Isaan bar girls just as they are and is putting on airs. I've known Thai liquor store owners here. Remember that heartbreaking story I posted elsewhere (or maybe here)? I wouldn't dare broach the subject of whoring with those folks, not only because our daughters were friends, but because they just live in a different world. And there was no sign of any riff-raff at their funeral. I've mentioned my Thailand antics while to other Thai merchants around here, the best reaction being amusement. Most Thais with the wherewithal to own a business here are from a higher class of society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavanami Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 My tee rak here in BKK avoids close friendships as the "friends" will come around and ask for $$$. Very difficult to really have a close Thai friend wherever you are at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainsail Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Most of my wife's friends she met at the temple. Even there she is quite careful about who she gets close to. Right now she is going through a crisis because her closest friend is demonstrating some bad behavior which makes her realize she is much lower class than her (in actions).

Zaad Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 A lad I know quite well recently married a Thai girl and now they live local to us.I suggested we go out one evening but Mrs Rusty won't have any of it."Me not need know Thai in Angrit,always problem come,I no like"Is her always her answer when a situation like this occurs. I thought it might give her the chance to speak in her own language for a bit. Is this normal behavior? Thanx I actually know some guys who feel the same way regarding fellow farangs here in Thailand. Maybe there are similarities on the reasoning of both.

Old Hippie Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Depends on how the mrs sees her social status compared to others. I took my Mrs to one of those Thailand food festivals a few years ago-she was horrified and said it looked like an ex prostitiutes convention. She ended up enjoying it but I often find she will not have anything to do with those 'lower class' types with ex prostitiutes who married for cash being at the top of the list. There are many such in foriegn countries. Look at it from the our point of view, how many decent UK ladies with a Uni degree who have always worked hard would want to socialise with some tatooed fat lazy tart from a council estate? Oddly enough, I know an ex-whore (is there such a thing?) who lives here, and feels the same way your wife does. Not so much because Thai events look like whore conventions, but because she just doesn't trust Thai people. She always says Thais should not be trusted, are no good, lie and cheat other Thais etc...I have heard that from a few Thais, regardless of class. At the temples here, I see Thais from all walks mingling and socializing at the temple. On the surface all seems fine and well, but I have no clue what their inner feelings are. There is one guy at one of the temples who is well known for taking advantage of New arrival Thais, oddly, no other Thais ever intervenes or warns these people. Additionally, I'll add that most of the Thai men I know here in the USA ALL married white women, and 99% of those women are fat and or have enormous asses! All these guys ask why we farangs fly 1/2 way around the world to pay to fuck ugly Thai women? They then go on to tell me how crazy Thai women are...

Mekong Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Not from my wife but from her Auntie who married a Canadian nearly 40 years ago, they lived in Japan and Australia then 20 years in Canada before retiring back in Thailand in 2005. Whenever names of specific Thai "Friends" they have made overseas are mentioned the Aunt always has more negative things to say about them than positive and her opinion about Thai temples in overseas communities is Con Merchants playing on proples fears.

sidsanuk Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 My wife tends to avoid other Thais here in Oz. Usually on the basis that the're just full of bull shit. They always seem to want to establish some kind of pecking order. What does your husband do, what car do you drive etc etc. All this status crap and one upmanship. Who gives a shit? We don't. My wife comes from a good working class family, is Uni educated and a very easy person to get on with. But she prefers farang friends here and finds the Aussies very open and straight talking. Actually her favorite nationality is British! Finds them very nice and polite. Thankfully I am one of those orginally. Obviously she has yet to meet the Lager Louts on holiday in Southern Europe.
