FARANG STEREOTYPES in THAILAND 2022 | Sex Tourists | Digital Nomads | Expat Tossers



Farangs, or foreigners, or aliens, have been stereotyped for many years and in many cases they are quite close to the truth! Everyone has their own idea of the classic steereotype foreign expat/tourist and this video is a look at how they have evolved over the years. Also there are farangs as stereotyped by Thais and tragic or unfortunate stereotypes as parodied by many. It’s all done in the best possible taste. If you’re easily offended or woke, then put that on hold for 12 minutes!

  1. I certainly add to the chubby foreigner stereotype. Thais always call me pompui, aoun, sometimes I even get a moo aoun thrown my way. All in good fun, I have a laugh about it because its true. Every time I lose some kilos, I rediscover the joy of eating or get invited to a fun event.

  2. This was hilarious.

    One Farang style is also this – A fairly young male person 20-30 years old for the first time in Thailand, and has found a girlfriend, and now he wants to move to Thailand and is looking for work as a painter, waiter or driver :D:D You see these quite often in certain Facebook groups these days.

  3. I'm in Pattaya now, and there's some days I wanna just kill myself! 🙄 🤣 First time in Thailand and Pattaya isn't my kinda place, looking for different later. A stereotype you didn't mention is the long term expats that are so fried by the sun their skin looks like leather. Another stereotype is the gents sitting in the same bar every day, in there shortly after it opens, beer in hand. What strikes me is the dead eyes and defeated look they all seem to have.

  4. Here's another farang stereotype. The dumb tourist, who spends a few months travelling around Thailand. He looses 10 kg, and thinks things are great. Gets back home, and two years later learns the hard way he had a passenger on board. The tape worm was roughly 40 cm long. Fortunately it didn't get into my brain before it decided to vacate the premises. I had never heard, or thought about, the medication you need to take on a regular basis, to protect you from various internal parasites in the tropics.

  5. I will be honest here and say when I first went to Thailand 13 years ago. I was definitly easy to spot. A 10 day millionare me. 31 baht to 1 aussie dollar. I had the Leo beer shirt and obligitory braclet. Tipped way too much and only stayed 4 or 5 star. Got ripped off by taxi scammers and had my picture taken on an Elephant. My then girl friend (now wife of 12 years) pulled me up on my extravagant ways. Yes there are sensible Thai women . I cringe now when I think what a stereo typical male tourist I was. I think perhaps we men just need to get that experience out of our system. Not all do and this is evident by the expats pushing 70 and still wearing a worn out chang beer singlet. People are so willing to hand out free advice in the bars . But Michael Cain said it best in a Parkinson interview. " The reason advice is free is because its usually worthless" My worthless advice is I have no advice make your own way.

  6. I must say I am a bit worried. I want to travel to see Thailand but I'm not interested in the seen and wouldn't want people to look at me a as a single guy thinking that's what I was there for. I do fit that stereotype white guy that cant eat spicy food though :(. Oh well I'm still going to go and im sure it'll be great.

  7. You speak very well and you are obviously experienced in Thai life. However, sometimes you come across as an easily offended snowflake type. Perhaps I am wrong and cannot read between the lines as well as I used to be able to. I'm not having a go as I enjoy your content

  9. Very funny way to describe Farangs for sure. I watched a channel notime2besad, that his mom seemed surprised and curious as why there are so many old fat White Farangs in Pattaya. I hope her son explains to her the reason why, 😆. You are a natural, Pat, explaining things so clearly. You must be a very good and patient English teacher as well, with a good sense of humor to add. Your mother would have been proud how you have turned out. I am sorry that you have lost your mother at such a young age. I am blessed that my mother lived to be 86 years old before she went to live in that mansion in the sky in July of this year. You are doing great, Pat. Keep it up and stay safe.

  10. Great video. I’m new to your channel and very much regret not travelling to Thailand when I had the chance (20yrs ago).
    In the Uk, most of us men (especially married) get broken down over a few decades. Work and family life take turns in giving you a good kicking. Finances for most are always stretched and the minute your wife sees you having the slightest bit of fun. It’s put a stop to. Men have few friends here and I can only imagine the freedoms felt on arriving in Thailand for that new start.
    I’m sure if western women appreciated their men more and rewarded them (we are easily pleased), the stereotypes would be less obvious. Maybe?
    I like your non judgemental and informative style 👍

  11. I work in thailand and have lived in isaan, chiang mai, and chon buri

    Thai women have no interest in farang unless they are rich or at a bar

    Thai women act SCARED of farang at the mall, on the street, at work

    Thailand is a closed society where you are not allowed to have friends

  12. Great video Pat. I might drink at the wrong place but I haven't met an SAS veteran in 16 years. I'd love to listen to some war stories. I live over the bridge in Bangkok so I break that stereotype too. I'm just an ordinary bloke running a small business (just turned 50) with 2 Thai kids and a wife of over 10 years. We go to Pattaya for holidays, and I sometimes sneak down to the bars for a look. But at the end of the day, we're just a normal family doing normal shit. Its just much easier here than in my home country. You need a light globe – call the motocy guy – 5 minutes. Electrician or a plumber – same day for 10 bucks. Food or grocery delivery (and now ganja), a message away. So yeah, the nightlife may have brought me here, but now we're just livin' life as it should be. I really appreciate your videos Pat some of your older ones, like Washington Square bring back some great (and a bit crazy) memories!

  13. Unfortunately, Thai women involved with foreign men are stereotyped on all sides. Thai people also make negative assumptions about Thai women they see in the company of farang men.
