Customer of BG

[Pescator]

So far I don`t recall hearing any derogatory terms for customer in this sense among Bargirls. The only word I get to hear is "Khaek" and that seems pretty decent to me.

But there must definitely be some slang words out there as there are in english. Anyone?

Listen for thai words sounding like ai mii or maa when they are looking or talking in some farangs direction. ( but the sweet ones never talk like this) ( and never directed at them members of this goup)

I thought the word 'farang' about covered it.

Seriously, you will hear them qualify it with stuff like:

farang kii nok

farang kii nee-ow

(both mean cheapskate).

Never had one refer to me as a 'maa' though. Whatever you did pasathai to deserve that one is probably a story suitable for posting.

Yes, I am familiar with both these two expression, but these are relatively common words that could be used by just about anybody. Kids upcountry for instance love to yell Farang Kee Nok after foreigners.

I am talking about a specific expression covering the customer of a bar girl.

wish i had a story to go with the "maa"

lable, but they were discussing someone else

(honest)

i think the gist of the conversation was the person (farang) they were talking about was sub-human ( like we all are to them i get the impression sometimes)

sort of like overcompensation for their situation compaired to ours.

stilll, all fun IMHO, unless someone gets violent.

they would be most likely saying "man"

which means "it", very impolite when used as a third person pronoun instead of "khaow"
