Fidel Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Good luck to you orandanodes, some of the board members are super sensitive when someone expresses an opinion that may seem to run against the grain. I don't really care much for the Thai class society either by the way and it does bother me that my behaviour is under scrutiny all the time... to a much greater extent than that of the Thais themselves.

Mentors Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 Maybe I'm naive about Thai ways, but I think a freelancing college-girl could pass quite well in polite company. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I agree with you, and we should not forget the fact that many thai males from the high society has Mia noi, (sometimes a couple) and they are not shy to take their to parties.

Guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 >You can be welcomed but not completely ACCEPTED because you are not Thai. There is a part of the collective Thai culture and consciousnes that you will never be able to understand. Let me help you understand. YOU ARE A FARANG. < i personally don't think anymore about being accepted or being part of it here. that is one of the things i would cassifie as "dead end topics", it just will never lead anywhere. i basically cherish being an outsider. it gives me so much freedom to move around in ways insiders cannot. being an outsider does not equal being not respected. and for me being respected and showing respect is the basic fundament of any relationship. my missus's family loves me, respects me, and i do the same, but i know that i can never be 100% part of them, simply because i have such a different background. love and respect is all that counts, anything else is secondary.

Guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 It is indeed a said part of Thai Society that your missus gets looked down upon because of her poor background. Like I said earlier, its not my point of view but a statement of the facts. The way your misses gets full respect back home is the way it should be. However, if you want to fit into Thai Society it is not possible to ignore the class system here. And yes indeed, perhaps in many aspects I have become too much Thai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 it ain't about going against the grain "fidel" nice avatar, fucking brilliant... it's about integrity. here in cyberspace everyone can voice their opinions np. but if your talking out of your ass all the time, that's just annoying static.

pattaya127 Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 perhaps in many aspects I have become too much Thai ---------------------------- PS: on this humoristic note, i shall bid you all goodnight. that was a very good, if sanguine, day on NanaP. Let's do it again soon ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 >>>>>Sorry to say that you haven't learned much in all of your years there. Just by you not participating with the women in the way that your "friends" do keeps you an outsider. Sure, they may still genuinely like you as a person but you are not accepted 100% because you are not playing the "game". <<<<<<\ Well well, are you the specialist in male behaviour. Did I say all. Read my earlier post carefully. I said "Many". So I am one of the not so many (and only farang in this group of friends) that don't play the mia noi game. Fortunately we all (the ones without mia noi's) get accepted by the ones with. Although perhaps now that I have my own protegee I fall within the group with a mia noi, even though she does not yet fully qualify as such.

Guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 i have to say that i am in the fortunate position that i have a profession where i work independently, for myself. i do not have to conform to any social rules there if i don't want to. it is my work what counts. doing business within this society is very difficult. to get anywhere i understand that you have to conform to things you privately would not want to. i remember the days when i was not established, had to make my money by all sorts of odd jobs here like modelling etc. there were a lot of occasions where i felt very unhappy about having to accept and swallow the way things are. it took me a long time to be where i am at the moment, and the more independent i became the higher my level of happiness in this country.

Guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 But not to parties attended by the mia luangs of friends and business relations. You have a mia noi, excellent, but keep her life with you entirely seperate from the life you have with you legal wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
