A few years back someone I know who lives in Thailand kept making the comment that this farang is a loser and that farang is a loser. I just put it down to him being pompous. Over the years I have met or heard about a number of farangs who are running from the taxman, credit card companies, alimony, police or more importantly themselves. I've seen many pour booze down their throats as if prohibition is just around the corner. Even on this forum I have read comments about the general poor quality of Farang in LOS. I have begun to wonder whether the comments from 'Mr Pomposity' have any validity ? This is a serious question and is not meant to cause offence in any way.

Whilst every place in the world has it share of losers, I have to agree with Brother Wolf in that 'non-First World' countries tend to attract more than their share of losers. This is because the sins of their former lives are not recognized there and the fact that they are farang gives them a degree of status that they do not have at home. On the other hand the same countries attract more pioneers and adventurous entrepreneurs who are seeking new opportunities not constrained by the economic/social structures and hierarchies back home. In the end it pretty much balances out...

Maybe it is just that some "Third world losers" are trying to escape from all the "First world losers" in their home country.

tend to agree with Wolf... and also the fact that thailand is a place where a person can lose himself... and pick up some bad habits.... and a lot of the sex tourists just cant get laid in their own country so they come here.... lots of reasons but all in all a crowd that is outcast... many cant get along in their own country, yet they find solice here..... social and economic refugees.....

Too many of them bring their bad habits with them. There's no doubt many have failed at everything in falangland (marriage, career, finances, sobriety etc etc) and this is the last stop. Until they are thrown out. OTOH, I have met acomplished professionals who simply want to have a good time without getting pissed out of their minds and without any BS and nonsensical rules.

I think it is a very interesting question. For sure, I think LOS is a sanctuary for misfits and has a high percentage of underachievers and general losers as defined by the coutries they came from. That being said, there are many exceptions to the rule and of course, there are always those that are in denial for whatever reason. I think it is interesting that TGs think the farangs that visit, are a typical cross section of that countries general population but I just don't think its true. Just my opinion so please don't take offense.

That is an interesting point, probably true. And one reason many expats get our noses in a ruffle about some of the behavior we see among certain tourists/expat maniacs, not wanting those sweet innocent lovable bargirls (or any girls) to think all us foreigners are like THAT. However no one's perfect. But I agree with China Sailor and Yodsaker in that this place necessarily attracts the extremes, and so hopefully it balances out.

It may balance out, philosophically, but the negatives leave a stronger impression, as the positives don't attract any attention - that, I think, is the main complaint.

What is the definition of a loser ?, any Falang down on his luck, on his last baht is a loser in thailand. Thats certainly not all but some. That makes that 90% born there are losers, hey but its there country they survive. For a farang in los without a satang f*** that. Its easy to live a few years in another country, with savings, bumming off countrymen, ripping people off until the circles get smaller and smaller and they leave or go to pattaya and go to the '' great gig in the sky '' It takes a bit more to survive 20 yrs in a foreign country I know i;vedone it and seen many come and go,and that 's in the adult disneyland of europe. In los man you go rock bottom your down man over n out, and f*** after years there how do you go back. I could never live in my natural country again, seen too muk, theres no going back when you open the tin of worms............................................................. Once you like cross over the line, you never go back, so it win or loose throw the dice, the adrenaline rush, but at least you feel alive............... If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man, You win some, lose some, all the same to me, The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say, I don't share your greed, the only card I need is The Ace Of Spades Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil, Going with the flow, it's all the same to me, Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you, Double up or quit, double stake or split, The Ace Of Spades You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools, But that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live for ever, And don't forget the joker! Pushing up the ante, I know you wanna see me, Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again, I see it in your eyes, take one look and die, The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be, The Ace Of Spades P.S adding on from the above its not just los other places in the world also seem to atract a lot of the '' i've no respect, I do what I want, I come shit on your country and then I go home crowd. This goes on in other places and people have enough of it in the long run. You know the stag night do's and the like, since cheap airfare the rif raf can get about too muk. Even in Amsterdam they've had enough of a certain type of tourist and thats saying summit............... Yes things were so muk better 20 yrs ago,cheaper too

You guys are all pathetic. There you go equating little presumptions straight out of the feminist movements books. Cant get laid in your own country! That sought of stuff. Next it will be we are "insure" and misfits etc. Look at the woman in the west saying these things! Why would I (again committ) to a woman who weighs on average 70 kilos upwards, and has (to say the least) an unfeminiate manner.? Anyone can get laid in their own country. Infact (if you demand a petite asian woman) prostitues are available. Joining an asian introdution agency, and asking for NON visa holding woman only (ones who are visiting and/or students) its f***ing easy shit. Even Farang woman...... (but I would rather pass on that) I am sick of judgemental poofters ( gay men) here bitching about other mens dress, income, status, etc. I get little dicks repeatedly looking down on me because forinstance I mentioned that I paid 300 baht north for sex......... (thats just whats asked in rural towns, they think its alot and cant believe its that easy.) Where do you think they come from the girls in Pattaya and Bangkok? I also pay GO GOs 3500 if I am in the mood and want a particular one. But instead of behaving like men, you guys like gay school boys, carry on assumming or pretending to be higher than thou. I have payments being repaid on a house I bought there (northern Thailand) and three businesses that give me modest but steady returns. In Sydney, I have a good income flow also. My financial arrangements are not dire, infact I am doing fine. And I dare say anyone who regularly flies to Thailand isnt doing too bad. Your observations on loosers are based on more a desire to have a higher social standing. Woman, and gay men play those games not men. I dont give a f*** if some slob is on a bar stood opposite me singing "'here we go....here we go at 1am" Nor do I care if someone is in a singlet and walking about on beach road armed with a beer in hand. This is a pussy forum. Little Thai bitches that say "farang " loosers. Should remind himself that their goverment total national income is 10% based on tourists. They have the audacity to on one hand (like wanna be middle class thais) disgracefully view us. While hoping privately we come in bigger numbers, as they arent able to send money to poor communities like the hooker daughters do for them. Sure there is always in any alcohol drenched "whoremonger" scence, people who will disgrace themselves, and our image of westerners. But I dont give a flying f*** what people in a 3rd world country that actively promote and organize prositution think. Until they realise the furry top hats and red coats, (copied) dont bring respect neccessarily. Until they consider the western has (for all their faults) contributed greatly in AID and development of poor ecomomies (like their own). Let thems ay what they will. I have sat in a chiang Rai hospital observing their so called Knowledge. Even with just a senior first aid knowledge, I seemed to understand better than alot of their nurses. In a ward watching a farm hand die, I also watched a girl, and an old lady die first. It was f***ed in that the woman gaggled her saliva til she drowned. The girl obviously had had a seizure, but instead got strapped to a bed. Sure were loosers! What makes it pathetic is the girls who on their bended knees back home visiting the local temples are praying that many farangs come and buddha gives them luck! As if the truth be known often the only thing standing between harsh poverty for them and their families, are our visitations. Even the 10% -20% of ugly slobbering farangs, in some manner part with collectively more cash to the "welfare of Thais" than their own goverment, or any figures of power and wealth. The bottom line, in defence of even the fat pig drunkard, so called looser, abroad,...is that they are of more benifit to the thai poor north, than the finger pointers. And the queer eye for a straight guy commentators here should tour poor farming origins first before even attempting to evauate and equate the punters worth. Like I said, its easy to see bar girls praying to buddha asking him to bring in the slobs. :: Sure many want ones that arent slobs. But given the option slob VS no baht The fat pig arsed drunk in a singlet with 1000 baht to put in their coffers will do just fine. Ps Please spare me the Dandy "how I must be a he he slob" or any of your self rightous pretend refined shit. Truth is you guys are pathetics and most likely scared of woman. Why else would men give a flying f*** about other mens habits and/or appeances?
