Ambiguous Pronouncement

2012-05-03 05:00:08

Several weeks ago a thai friend since 4years tell me next: "You are a thai-farang".

He explained to me (briefly):
1.) Farang:
   a.) are expected to support the family financially
   b.) but it is OK not doing this
2.) Thai:
   a.) same as 1.a.)
   b.) same as 1.b.)

same-same, but why different?

Have you ever experienced another such an ambiguous talk?

Chinese

I just have a telephone call with a thai friend, who I know for many years. What I eventually hear for his excuse and explanation to take advantage of a situation: "No problem, he is Chinese, not farang"

Should this remark make me feel better in Thailand as a white foreigner friend???  :whistling:

Healthy Economy!

I regularly visit a small Issan village (2 family, about 200 citizens). I already visit for last 5 years (2-3x each year, for many weeks each time). I am supposed to be first 'farang' visitor at this village and during 4.5 years nothing has changed the village image. Last month visit, I noticed 7 new houses were build, just during the last half year period (I did 3x visits this year).

Sure:
1) I was asked years ago to build a new house at the village, but I did not do
2) I will never do NOW, what to think about seven ...... unknown financial supporters (or is Thai farm economy really booming)
3) When I asked about the village change, a normal response was: 'don't think about it'
4) 5 years and still a stranger

Your input please?

Shoot!
