You're sort of correct, if one believes this version. But, the arab source is actually far too late as an origin of the word. I subscribe to the Greeks being the earliest source (i.e. barbarian),...

Maybe it doesn't matter to the vast majority on here because they just come and go, and that's it.

But, how would you feel if you knew the person calling you a Farang, in an office meeting for...

Except that 99% of the "Thai" (more often than not, Isaan) pussies being stuffed by Farang are those that no self-respecting Thai would go near. So, it's not exactly a badge of honour to wear with...

Well, I've had official memos from the university addressed to: "All Ajarn Farang" and a group of us were actually introduced this way at an open house for new students and parents. It was clearly...

more or less, although quite simplistic and very narrow in its focus. good enough advice, i guess for the two-week sex tourist, though.

except, the term farang in most cases does have a negative...

no. That's "Yaa Dohm" (mentholated inhaler). All Thais use these to excess, (actually bad for the nasal passages) and it's an indication of the Thai preoccupation with smell.

Yaa = drug or...

I think it was a spur of the moment thing for him. I spoke Thai. So, he knew I wasn't a newbie. But, as I explained, I just moved to an unfamiliar part of town. So, I wasn't immediately suspicious of...

I'll find the time. I'm a bachelor again, afterall and look where I am? :D

However, I'm too old now to score students, which is probably just as well. I don't want to screw up the new job. I can...

mmmmmmm. Well, I just got a new job, and a new, cheaper apartment and won't have a GF soon (all meaning more money for me)....it might just be what the doctor ordered.

Hey, I could be one of those...

He was clearly desparate and angry, about something right from the moment I got in the taxi. It only got worse after that. My Thai actually exacerbated the problem because at the end, I lost my...

All good, except that perhaps because I have lived here so long and NEVER had any sort of problem like this, I'm a bit complacent and didn't think to get his number, (nor did the 2nd taxi driver, who...

no. stupid me. i was so rattled, that i just wanted to get away from the guy and only thought of the licence plate #, afterwards.

i thought of hitting him, while he was driving. but, he...

Last night, I was kidnapped by a Bangkok cabbie.

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't have happened, as I am quite familiar with most parts of central Bangkok from the river all the way out...

All good points of view, gentlemen.

Perhaps when it's all over, I'll elaborate on what has transpired in my case. What I will say is that, my contract was not renewed after 3 years of working in...

Hardly King of the Sex Crawl. I'd give that crown to the likes of people such as Mick Licker, NicFrenchy etc. They're the true champions and knowledgeable experts on sex in LOS. Comparatively...

First of all, I'm not finding it particularly hard to find a job elsewhere, including Canada and the States. I'm already short-listed at 3 unis, with more to come: 2 of these positions are as...

You don't live here. You're retired here. You're on a perpetual holiday, and more power to you. I envy you that. But, you don't have any real dealings with Thais, other than in a very superficial...

On Nut is on and around Sukhumvit. FYI, Sukhumvit is a very long street and extends well out into the provinces.

DirkDingy is wrong. On Nut is the station after Prakhanong and the last stop on the Sukhumvit line of the BTS.

On Nut is a pretty Thai neighbourhood and not so strategic. However, there's a large...

The ultimate goal is to accept no responsibility for anything. Karma is merely an excuse (like the Will of God) to never take charge and actually do something. It's also a way to avoid making a...

The cause is complex. But, a lot of it has to do with the fatalism of Thais learned in their rather warped Buddhist teachings, coupled with a feudalistic society so rigid and domineering, that...

Chaos reigns here because of the Thai inability to deal with any sort of uncomfortable challenges or confrontation. They freak out and try to get out of such a situation either through irrational and...

Nor are they welcoming to Thais from certain parts of the country such as the South and Isaan.

Well, first of all, to have logic of any sort, one has to think.

Thais don't think.

It's all emotion and shoot from the hip. Who can deal with that?

Your average TG would blush at the very thought of sex toys.

So, if the girl has many dildos, she's hardly a typical TG and I'd say a bit of a "goer", if you know what I mean. She does not...
