Comment on Culture Clash: Thai Laziness, Politeness & Smile by Sascha Funk

Totally agree on the ‘be aware part’. Although, after 1.5 years, I have to say I also met a lot of great people here. No doubt about that. However, like you said, in some parts the ‘farang’ is only welcome if he brings money to the table. So yes: Staying away from bar girls and any business related in that area is good advice.

Alot of Thai people are anti anything not Thai,which is why you will come across that is the Thai way of doing things attitude.I’ve had some brilliant times in LOS and treasure the memories.Last year I visited an old friend who has been living in Chiang Rai for 9 years with his girlfriend.I found that farang are only tolerated if they have money because this gives the Thai partner they are with “face”.Otherwise you are no use to them.I’m writing this as a warning people who visit Thailand should not get involved with bar girl,start a business or invest in land or property.9.99 per cent of theese endeavours end badly for the farang.I could tell you a 100 or more horror stories but instead advise that you read Private Dancer by Stephen Leather or Bangkok Tattoo.Both of theese books will show you what is behind the Thai smile!! Enjoy Thailand but be wary of smiling strangers…….

[...] What does a website need to be successful? That was one question I asked my ‘Internet English’ (don’t blame me for the course name!) students. This is a perfect start for talks about websites, features and social media as a whole. ‘We need twitter, facebook oh and let’s add youtube…’. Great when students can try in real life what they just heard about in class. And, since we all love circles (not just since google+ came out) here is one that closes: When we know what features we need, we tell the guys (students) who are responsible for the implementation or the backend maintenance to implement those features. Project Management in easy steps. And that in English class. Welcome back to head-fake learning. [...]

Since I just stumbled across some articles saying that social media communication with students needs special rules….I totally disagree here! Social Media Communication needs as many rules as real life communication. Don’t talk shit! Think before you talk and don’t be stupid. Done.
