  • Westerners who prat around like slapstick Thais

    The below is an extreme example, done for educational purposes, but it looks pretty sad nonetheless. Is there any need to adopt Thai mannerisms when speaking Thai?

    For me, the Thai variety show sound effects are far worse than the mannerisms.

      There's a black guy with dreadlocks on Isaan tv I saw last year. He talks like a native, acts, mannerisms and his acting camp are spot on. He must have grown up in Thailand

          So my wedding speech in Thai 18yrs ago was unique after all.

              Smeg organised the whole thing, and it was his ex-wife I was marrying. I now get to bring up 6 kids fathered by Smeg.

                  I'll be learning Thai more formally (3-5 days a week full-time) in the coming months or year, when I finally move out of Bkk.

                  Something interesting, proactive and beneficial to do everyday in my retirement. Good socially as well.

                  Being a reader/writer with foundation level Thai already will help. Will make sure to download boing boing sound effect apps for my phone.


                  Might do a thread on the journey on here, TD, or both.

                      And these types often think they are holier than thou (us).

                        I have noticed quite a lot of jealousy, bitterness and resentment towards westerners that speak Thai fluently.

                        It often annoys the Westerner that is living here and can't.

                          At least you're gonna do something about it by taking lessons instead of letting it simmer.

                            It was pissing down so hard there that day they didn't know if he was speaking Thai or Swahili!
                            God, the panic within the Dems, MSM, and left must be horrifying...realizing that Joe is really the best they've got.

                              Not jealous in a harmful, spiteful way. Inside I often admire it.

                              Some farang play too much on a 'rivalry between farang' scenario.


                              But I stopped going to places where that might occur well over a decade ago. ie. networking, and meeting new people.

                              And I stopped socialising/dating Thai women who have such wankers as farang friends long ago.
