    » Nothing much to say here is there, i think that IAN has told us all there is to know and believe me.......... .he's right.

    • Anonymous commented : Mike. You are opening up a can of worm that you could not possibly could face. What percentage of people in USA are actually owning their own houses and or lands? I have never owned my houses and or lands. The mortgage companies and VA owned my houses and land. Since you are in this business, you would knew this. You are talking about made decisions in purchasing property; you knew very well that housing system in USA is segregated by different factors and could be viewed as underline racism. Why do you think HUD is spending tax payer money to house poor people in middle class housing neighborhood and paying developers to set aside their apartments/townhouses for people with low income? Why did we became US citizens? Do you do know why and since there are variety of laws installed against non-citizens and non-European descendents? Number one, we followed US laws. Number two, we served in the US arm forces. And if you have never been in the military, then you will know that only US citizen will receive full clearances and benefits. Let go back and talk about land title, all land tittles in USA could go back as far as since US government took them from whomever their previous owners were. That is clear and plain as A, B, C. It is like thieves leaving their finger prints. Yes, what were done were done and we could not go back. But everyone could not deny that those things are ok. The Jews were are doing their best to get payments for things that were took from them. Do you think they are wrong? Do you know why Al-Qaeda and other anti-American and anti-western organization are thinking? They are thinking like you. Yes, you done it and they could do it to. What would be the different if Al-Qaeda took over the US and sending all European extracts to concentration camps in the desert of the Middle-east?! Well, what done and what will be done, right.? As for Thailand, Thais are very much bring threated as third class citizens of the world because we are docile and manageable by foreigners. And for the indigenous Thais, we are the second class citizens in our country. And my family immigrated to US because western economic powers help ruined our economy and we had assisted US government in certain matter during the Indochina conflict. Otherwise, non-white families would not be abled to immigrate to USA. There are only two categories of Thai immigrants in USA prior to the early 1980...1. farang wives 2. Thai students from rich families and or government sponsored students 3. very rich Thais like those blue blood and or corrupted/connected 4. the exceptional others like my family. Do you know that government owned all the land in PRC? Why are there so many US companies doing business in PRC? It is not about names on the tittles. It is about making money and take advantage of the opportunities of making ugly amount of money in PRC. Nobody is nagging in PRC about not owning land for sure since their leaders would not mind to throw waves of human bodies at the problems. The past Siamese government was too weak and lack of will to make such deals like China about their territories like HK and Macau. Otherwise, Thailand would retain our territorial integrity and benefited from the natural resources and be independent from foreign influences and energy sources. Now, decedents of foreigners with Muslims and Chineses controlling these old territories for their distant masters. I would not be surprise if the next attacks on US soil and Europe by Al-Qaeda are being formulated in Asian countries like Malaysia and Pakistan. I guess that is why airport security in USA is profiling Asian men.? Mike. My advise for you is to enjoy the gullible Thai girls and women, enjoy the foods and the beaches, and stay away from local politics. And maybe, you could investing in condo and small business for your retirement. People, who are getting into politics, do want to make changes and help develop Thailand - socially and economically. Mike. If you are as wealthy as you stated and knowledgeable about realestate business, you could form partnership and making changes in building codes and city planning. Do you have a pioneering spirit?

    RE: My Mom doesn't Like Farangs

    By Anonymous, Created on: 07/12/2004, Last updated on: 19/09/2007

    » Your mom is right baby. Most farangs could'nt be entrusted. They consider your country as a backyard brothel that should yield to all their queer demands and nature. They look for cheap sex and free service. Sex that act on the woman as if she were a sex tool that responds automatically without resistance....

    • Anonymous commented : Thai people, generally, have this strange racism where every white foreigner is expected to behave and think the same. I often get offered 'farang' food by people that cannot understand that I really hate KFC etc. It is hard for many Thais to understand the cultural differences between most European, American, Russian etc. countries but they are perfectly able to recognise the cultural.differences between Thai, Chinese, Japanese etc. I have also met many European, American, Russian etc. people that think all Asians are the same and cannot understand the differences. It is not really any different. There was one person in here recently that thought that a Thai might commit hari kiri if he was badly shamed

    Thai Divorce law

    By Anonymous, Created on: 02/12/2004, Last updated on: 09/01/2009

    » I heard from a farang that under Thai law men can divorce women in two days. But for a woman, it takes two years. The reasoning being that women are thought of as temperamental creatures, prone to wild mood swings, who need plenty of time to calm down...

    • Anonymous commented : Ian, Come on....let's be fair to Thai women in general. It is natural for any female., American, English, French, Black or any Asian girls to be tempermental when her husband goes out on her. The timeing of taking two years and the compensation he claimed to ease her down for a divorce is not always true. I am pretty sure that your friend must have run into another funky chick who teased him a temporary different sexual enjoyment that stupidly caused him to divorce his good one at home. Well, he was lucky that she only settled 60% because the new one he has might just suck all. Waint and see.

    » I am a Thai man born and grew up in Bangkok educated overseas totally disagree with the stereotype.

    Understanding the American ways

    • Anonymous commented : Rad, I am sorry you are having trouble. With out actualy speaking to you I can not comment about the accent. Most Americans feel no ill will to most immigrants. All our people came from them, even the Native Americans have only been here 10,000 years. The people you hang out with have things they like to talk about. If you are interested in fitting in, try to learn what they like. Maybe favorite TV shows or such. I do not think it would be better in Canada, maybe just a different part of the US. On the Florida Gulf coast around Pensacola and Fort Walton Beach there are many Thais and other Asians. I do not think I have ever heard of a problem. Except when the immigrants can not speak English, it gets very tiring trying to carry on a conversation. So if you speak fairly good English and try to assimilate in, you should get along.

    • Anonymous commented : When you find someone you wish to get to know, speak up, let them know that talking with you will not be a problem. I and my wife find plenty of people that are interested in other cultures. I find people in other countries can also act distant or uncaring, France comes to mind. On the Paris metro, just speak English if you want a dirty look. Rad, it might be you not really wanting to communicate, not the people you meet. You say they do not care about your culture, do you try to participate in theirs? Remember, you came to their country, do not expect them to know or even want to learn about yours. Ignorance about geography is world wide and has been discussed in this forum. I do not expect Thais to know the map of the US or North America. Why should you expect the average person to know the Asian map. If you want them to know, take the time to get to know them and then teach them. Do not be dissgusted because they live in their own world.

    • Anonymous commented : Rad. Do you known that Canada has socialized healthcare system like in Thailand? If you are not comfortable in Thailand or in Idaho, Idaho is in the American heartland. These people do not give a nutcracker about foreigners. In their views, foreigners came to USA because Americans and America are better than their own homelands. Canada is more rural than USA unless you are living in the urban area, and Canada is many times colder than USA. It seemed like you are a urbanited person. You might considering finding American urban area with high population of Asians like Chineses and Vietnameses. San Francisco is an example beside New York, Houston, or Hawaii. US west coast cities will have the highest Chineses, Vietnameses, and Japaneses. Thais are mostly highest in LA, NY, and Florida.

    • Anonymous commented : I am Canadian and my father is a minister in Canada. I have been brought up with many multicultural people around me. I also fell in love with a thai women. She came to visit me over a year ago and she tells me she loves me all the time and shows me in many ways. I think the thai people are very positive people and adjusting to live in Canada would be an easy transition if you can speak good English. There are lots of opportunities for hard working Asians in Canada. Go for it :)

    • Anonymous commented : Hello, I'm thinking that you may be experiencing a general prejudice. You just need to find an area/city/neighborhood that is more of the melting pot where people of all cultures congregate. For example, southern california in general or Pasadena are areas that have many asian people living and working and you would likely find no shortage of friends. I live in Hawaii and know many Thai and other asian people and we don't think any differently of one another. Perhaps you moved to follow your professional goals, but that may not be the best direction for you socially. I'm not very familiar with Utah, but my impression is that they are not no open minded as southern californians. All the best.
