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

I like how you talk, how you express yourself, sounding neither pompous nor boring, staying tactful from start to finish (mentioning different points of view regarding the same subject), but also making subtle right-on-target remarks without insulting or… belittling anyone. RU-vid can be… too much at times, with guys exaggerating in order to… make noise around their channel. I much better prefer your “I share the content I enjoy producing without being too full of myself” approach, if that makes any sense (my English is a never-ending work in progress).

You always find Nice locations for your clips :-) One of the stereotypes you missed was the “Muay Thai Champion”. To be fair, you mainly see these in the south or on the islands but they can also be spotted in Bangkok. The island type you are running along the beach in the obligatory Muay Thai shorts shadow boxing as they go. But the city ones wear the Muay Thai t - shirts from markets that always seem to depict a fighter throwing a knee

Enjoyed your vlog as always, and take a lot of what you shared as tongue in cheek. It is too easy for all of us to judge, but then we should also be prepared to be judged. You can only hope everyone finds what they are looking for (farangs & Thais alike!) and don’t get hurt in the process. Thanks krub 🙏

Interesting and light hearted video. I’m going to be maybe one of these in September haha 😂..

I was really hoping for the airport spy cam video. I know that it’s not your style but, it could be done very “tongue in cheeky”!

Many Thai ladies have since caught up with the Western counterparts re the weight issues!

Live your life like you want.Its great like you live.But let others let them life live like they want as long as nobody gets hurt.It could be so easy.

Watch your videos in rainy Manchester UK,with my husband.When I watched this ,I just had to subscribe too.Your list of comments made me laugh.We first came to Thailand when my son was 11,my daughter was 6.She is now 27.On her first holiday,she was in the pool at the Hilton in Hua Hin and asked me why the pretty Thai lady in the pool,was stroking and kissing the head of the old man with no hair?She didn't shout it out thank goodness.It didn't put us off,we love Thailand and have come every year since our first holiday and own a condo here.My husband is still uneasy about going into BK on his own.There are so many other lovely places to spend your evening,it's easy to avoid the bars full of 50+ single/divorced foreign men.They are such a tiny part of Thailand.I often wonder if the ex wives/partners,of these You Tube vloggers,who film themselves living the dream,watch the antics of their ex and cringe.

The Stereotypes are to confined just to Thailand, all SOUTH EAST ASIA nations as well!

8:11.The term is hanged not hung.I know because my son did it to himself.

hahaha, "ex special forces/black ops" cheers for those memories.

Live your life as you want it not as others see it.

the 5 F that picked up from a recent FCCT talk of Thai attractiveness. Foods, Films, Fashion, Fights, Festivals. Obviously missing another F here. 555

very interesting :)...thank u

My nick name is "Ai Falang Mr ATM" - not sure why.

Never been in Thailand, not a man either I’m probably not the target for your videos but love them anyway x) I like your humor

Love the woke warnings! Not sure how you could ever live in a western country again? You would be sent to the gallows for even thinking this video. Keep up the great videos and thank you!

One farang nationality talking shit about other farang nationalities is another very common one.

Enlightening…random observation, study of Bhuddism never comes up but finding blissful Nirvana in Nana appears frequently

As a woman who has lived in Thailand and lost my ex to a Thai lady not just one but two I might add, I must admit I found this vlog to be both a bit amusing and sometimes rather sad. Nevertheless I roared at the guy who thought there was no place for woman in Thailand. These people obviously know only one part of this beautiful country. Despite one divorce and many return visits I still love it there and there are many beautiful places yet to visit. Thank you for your interesting historical vlogs over the last 2 years they have been both interesting and kept me positive during these challenging times🙂

Ok, ya what is with that French guy in tight clothes who's always at some trade show with some sort of.. yes, its some sort of marketing/advertising/entrepreneurism/bitcoin/drone business-that-not-quantifiable-business startup something? He's not just in Thailand but I see that French guy everyyyywhere from Japan down to China, he'll pop up in Laos if he wants? I've tried asking them what exactly they do and almost exclusively an answer involved 'EU trade talks' of some sort where Italy is involved etc. French guy is usually lean and athletic, a bicyclist type so he can get away with those tight shiny dress clothes but what's up with that guy??

I have lived in Thailand in my 20 plus years in Asia. I don't drink, never been to a bar in Thailand but I love the place. From food to the beaches, mountains and jungles. Great gyms and shopping, temples on and on. Oh I never had Thai girlfriend. Those guys that never get out of the bar areas really miss out. What's fun is I look like the typical tourist and always asked what bars I go to and I ask what temples have they visited. I hate to say this but I stay away from foreigners too much trouble seems to follow them.

You only have to go to the departure gate at Heathrow to see most of the flight is balding, beer bellied, middle-aged wearing a nylon football shirt

While all stereotypes are generalisations, it's easy to recognise aspects of all these. The worst, for me, is the old Thai hand who really gets Thailand and knows all the tricks and knows what Thai people are like etc. I think the beauty of Thailand (and most other places for that matter) is that anything you think you know will always be confounded if you keep your eyes and mind open. I met some of the nicest people I ever met in my life amongst the farang-in-Thailand community (and some of the worst and the most desperate too). Thanks for another great video.

By far the BEST (most honest least wanky) Bangkok/Thailand channel hands down.

l really like the classic retiree or expat in Pataya, Bangkok or Phuket who lives here since one maybe two years but acts like he's been around since the Khmer empire.

My wife and I started stereotyping our own travelers from the US. Can't believe these clueless young women who come to a generally conservative Buddhist country wearing their underwear/athletic wear everywhere! Have some class 🤦🏼‍♂️. Saw 30 examples in the Siem Reap Airport this morning on my way to Bangkok.

The first time I heard about any of that was many, many years ago long before RU-vid and long before I ever visited Thailand, when a European friend told me about their co-worker in Europe who went to Thailand and married a street prostitute and got her with him to Europe and how she doesn't speak a word of the language and what kind of marriage they have. No judgement intended. It is rather sad that some people need this sort of scene.

Thanks Pat for the upload. I am sure there are labels of foreigners in Bali, Boracay, Palawan, and even Singapore. The hard truth is there is a nasty rep for those foreigners looking for good time in Pattaya for example and the girls are there more than happy to serve ( for baht course) and the business owners too. Its mutual - there is demand and supply.

Watched this again. Funny & sad at the same time. I’m happy still avoiding most falangs here in Ratchayothin.. 👊🙏

Thank you Pat for this great one !!! As a german I appologize for the very ugly way most germans dress up and their habbit with socks in sandels. Often they dress as boring as their food tastes. As long as they behave better, than they look ...

Asking couples how they met is a pretty innocent question when you first meet a friend’s partner in the states. It used to be somewhat embarrassing when they’d admit they met on a dating site/app but that stigma has def dissipated the last 10 years. However perhaps too personal if they’re strangers or acquaintances

The expat who warns you against getting over pissed and into trouble (as he knows the area and everybody inside-out), who then gets over pissed, and into trouble (with everyone).

I met a guy who said he was from " Hereford " he continued with Hereford is famous for 2 things the SAS and corned beef and I have nothing to do with corned beef wink wink . my reply was great talking to you see you later.

The fake military stories are always the best I can't talk about it if you ever had something you couldn't talk about you never bring it up and you certainly don't say that😂

I am allready stereotyping at departure at the airports in Europe when I see older men wearing those tourist Thailand t-shirts.

Some farangs like to hint that they're well connected and have power and influence due to their Thai relatives. Usually when someone has to try and hint or boast like this the opposite is true. Kinda like the farang trying to gain face.

I love this video Pat I pissed myself laughing 😂 with the French one God bless the English language ❤🙏

The cartoons were a laugh and spot on, I can relate to the one where the guy is in bed in England v Thailand. When I first went there 15 years ago I was an older backpacker and age 43, wasn't going there for the naughty nightlife. But once I'd experienced it, it became a bit like a not so good habit, and the next trip there was mostly about that and not so much about the culture. Then when I came back to my western life, where I'd already come to the conclusion that things were stacked not in my favour as a man, and now there was no way I was going back what I might be able to get as a partner in N America. That has only increased as I've got older, knowing that there is so much going on over there v a life with a women my age, who is probably going to me overweight and high on the N American feminist/ man dis-liker scale... I don't know quite what is the answer, apart from regular trips to Thailand.

Traveling to Thailand, for 2 weeks, next month. Making me revisit my motivations for going. I’m going to make sure I don’t come off as a 2 week millionaire. That means you’re buying me a tea on our walking tour. 😂

It's disgusting how some farangs think

We could probably add Crypto Bro's.

It always comes across that a guy of say 55 could go to Thailand and very quickly have girls falling all over him. The questions I would ask is 1. Are Thai women actually attracted to the sterotypical mid 50's guy from Europe or is it purely money and wealth? 2. If a British guy went to Thailand and made it clear he didn't have a pot to piss in, would he still have women falling all over him? I am curious. Although I am in the UK, I signed up for a Thai dating site. I've never had so many women contact me. In the UK they don't give me the time of day. The Thai types that contacted me weren't stereotypical. I had put the age range 18-90. I did have a woman of 72 say she wanted marriage! But I did get girls of 18, 34, 52. Some looked 'nice' others were general women, not models or anything. I was just curious... I personally think they are into the money only. Unless you think different? I would want someone who is interested in me, not because I had x amount in the bank. I'm not convinced I would get the adoring Thai women into just me as a person.

Never mock a man who loved. They might have loved the wrong person but that is life.

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

Love your vids Pat - and I know exactly who you mean (many times) - but especially the smug guys making heaps via their websites and always grifting stories about Thailand, and the Thai 'experts' who have never been far from Pattaya or Nana/Soi Cowboy and have no idea about Isaan or Lanna.

I went to Thailand myself after going to Vietnam first with friends born there and decided I didn't want to be there for a entire month as originally planned not knowing what the country was like and I already took a month off for vacation looked into other countries nearby with good currency exchange rate so I still got the most for my money I decided on Thailand. What I saw personally was a HUGE amount of very old guys literally chasing, in most cases, for young Thai's looking like children or at least to be the Farang's grandchildren's age no matter where I went, very, very sad. I'm glad it seems to have changed. It is a beautiful country ruined almost by outside visitors going there for the wrong reasons.

I do cringe when I see obesity on two wheels riding down Soi Buakhao . The epitome of male health with at least 90% of new arrivals having some sort of mental health issues as well .

LOL ex special forces guy that said he cant talk about it then starts talking about it . That was funny dude

These scenes in between the discussions are so well shot. Bangkok Pat, you missed your calling as a film-maker. Anyway, I think your whole video is pretty good and balanced. I see you treading carefully not to offend us farangs. However, many of the stereotypes are true. And yes, we have very predictable reasons for coming to Thailand. .... It's the wonderful food of course ! 😉

Stop bashing weed I’m 68 and smoking

55 days Pat , i be there Thailand looking for to meet you in person have a chat laugh with ,

Thai women are so BEAUTIFUL its just AMAZING ❤🙏

Great video - presented, as always, in your cool, professional manner. I always imagined I would never become a stereotype. I was smarter than that. I was self-aware. Regrettably, and with some considerable measure of disappointment, I now realise that during my time both in Thailand and Vietnam I probably ticked every stereotypical box, plus a few more besides. I was certainly guilty of falling into the 'I must be handsome - all these lovely girls (and guys, in my case) find me so attractive!' trap. I'm sure I acted like a perfect fool - swaggering about like I was some impossibly good-looking, cocksure 20-something (I'm 59) in my inappropriate tight t-shirt and comically short shorts (clothes I'd never wear at home here in the UK). Typically, I'd swim a few lengths in the hotel's roof top pool and emerge thinking I was an irresistable physical specimen - of course my partners couldn't keep their hands off me! Idiot. Clown. Were they laughing at me? How did they really see me? Time and distance have not provided any answers. I have some good, good memories of the times, people and places. Some really fine moments, but always, behind it all, I know I probably looked and acted the fool more often than not, and I was almost certainly kidding myself about my motivations and those of my partners just about 100% of the time. I was a stereotype. Gullible, probably insensitive, sexually promiscuous, and nowhere near the best version of myself. If I didn't know it then (although I might have suspected it), I certainly do now.

Love this - you are light years better than a certain feline named news channel or that egotistical twitter brit english teacher .. keep it up mate

The card of the buffalo is the best. I could not stop laughing 😃

I had two friends who only went to Pattaya every year they would taxi straight from Bangkok airport and back and fly home. I met one in Pattaya, he stayed in his hotel room during the day and only ate western fast food and bar hopping at night. Surprisingly he could speak and write Thai. But what got me was how much money he was spending and miserable he was. He scrimped and saved up all year to be there. Anyway, I convinced two of them one year to try Chang Mai, to see some different places. They flew to Chang Mai, jumped in a taxi, asked to be taken to the nearest brothel, had a lousy time(too expensive no variety), taxied back to the airport, flew straight back to Bangkok, and abused me for suggesting something different.

This video was very easy to relate to. I like your tongue in cheek jokes 😉🤣. Some of those cashiers can make you do a double take

I laughed a lot at this video Pat. Very cleverly put together without causing offence. When I told my friends and work colleagues I was heading off to Vietnam I got all the wow's how exciting etc etc. When I told the same groups I was off to Thailand again I got a very different reaction. Lots of smirking and nudge nudge wink wink looks. It is a bit strange how people react who have never set foot in the country and probably are completely clueless to the wonderful varied landscapes, cultures and ethnic groups to be found in the Land of Smiles. John

You're making some great content Pat. Keep it up.

i come to thailand for the fishing ,,,the fucking is just a bonus

A proper response to the how you met your girlfriend or how your parents met for the half Thai half something else: We/they met during a severe thunderstorm. Both were trying to catch a taxi of which there was a shortage of due to the thunderstorm. Both parties felt the only reasonable option was to have a sword fight in the street. First person to get beheaded or struck by lightening loses and the other got the taxi. To answer the question of who won the fight simply say well it should be obvious on who won because I am here now aren’t I.

I can ditch my beer brand tank tops, lose the socks and scale back on my stories from when I was with the CIA, but do I really have to give up Pad Thai too?

Didn't get the cartoon at 9:18, is it that thai women are not as chill as girls?

And where are the backpackers? Great videos btw

My birthday is Dec 25 . I know where I want to be when I wake up at 70 . Lol

Hi Pat great video, and yes I’ve been everyone of your stereotypes, but my fifteenth years was magnificent, I survived, arrived with 100k and left with 100k +, I don’t regret a single day, plus the pure adrenaline rush lasted every single day, my abiding memories are those of the wonderful Thai relationships I formed, cannot be replaced, now I live on my memories, do I regret it, absolutely not, just remember we only live once 🙏

Good video! A stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. Generalizations are formed from a general statement or concept obtained by inference from specific cases. Some people have set ways that they are happy with. Being closed minded by not willing to consider different ideas or opinions causing these labels from a person.

I used to be a sex tourist, until I became a sex resident. LOL A local once told me that the sex that's available to the tourist is just a tip of a very gigantic iceberg. So, forget the bar scene and massage parlors, there's more to explore!

After being in Thailand a few months, with some reservation I can say that some men come to Pattaya to die. Mind you, in not the worst possible way. Most though, seem to be climactic refugees from Northern Europe escaping the cold. The bars and girls mostly are a diversion to pass the time so they can get some sleep.

My wife (Thai) and I are both mid-70s. She had been in the US for 40 years... University and then career. We met and married then later decided to spend the rest of our years in the Kingdom. Her family in Thailand are all retired professionals like us. We decided to move back to Thailand and build a retirement house near them in rural Prachinburi. It's quiet and peaceful and I rarely see another Westerner. We are certainly not millionaires, I rarely drink and don't "cat around". Most of our village knows me as do the monks at our local Wat. I'm never subject to "dual pricing" save for my frequent trips to Khao Yai. After 10+ years I still find this the most comfortable retirement.

I really enjoyed that video Pat. I live in Australia, have a comfortable lifestyle but I would love to retire in Thailand. The main attractions for me are the lifestyle, affordability, the people and the food. Yes of course, young, very attractive women are appealing but I also feel a bit cringy when I see guys my age or older, with the physique and charm of Homer Simpson kidding themselves that they are in any way attractive and with a young girl in tow who is doing what she has to do to get by. I get it, but I don't, if that makes sense. If I ever make it over there to retire, it would be nice to contribute to the local community in some small way too. Anyhow, thanks for your channel, it provides a more detailed insight into every day life in Bangkok and your views and knowledge are appreciated.

Tbh this really makes me wonder what people would assume about me while I was living in Thailand

only Germans wear socks, sandals and speedos

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.

Big 'GB News' vibes here. The compulsive need to mention being anti-woke and anti-snowflake is such a tired and meaningless line.

My husband was walking beside me and another man said to him you got a pretty one.I am Thai walking along the beach in Puget.Thank he did not asked how much he paid.Ha!

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 👍

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.

In general, what is it with other foreigners in Thailand when they see each other. Case in point, I was at Robinson this morning when I saw a foreigner coming head on with his girlfriend and then he saw me and gets all googly eyed staring at me as he passed but doesn't say a word. It's either that or a massive scowl comes across their face like ''I'm the only farang in the village.''

Love the buffalo cartoon.....The Far Side (Thai edition).

You are smooth as silk. Your phrasing and delivery is very professional. Excellent vlog.

I find it very amusing observing locals trying to find out if i fit a stereotype by asking (sometimes silly) questions. I just skip some questions and leave them guessing. This often develops into great friendships

It might be worth letting your viewers know that 'farang' is pronounced 'falung' by the locals. You hear this word all the time in Thai, especially in places where their are a lot of foreigners.

😎👍😀

made me laugh "snowflake crap" :D good man

Hill tribes also wear socks and sandals.

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.

I love your videos Pat!

Blokes in Pattaya with east end accents that deal in coke back home and are now lying low....

I ask friends in the UK how they met each other so I don't see that question as intrusive.

Awesome episode once again! Hello from the Windy City!

Too funny the Christmas at 70 sign me up for Thailand any day.

They are no lying about women being slimer & more feminine 😆

@1:53 I have been in Thailand 5 times, never taxi drivers have offered me any of those things. The only problem I had: taxi driver (s) doesn't like to run the meter. Uber is as expensive as your home town ride. This was my experience.

I like your videos but i'm not sure you know what "woke" means as you mention it a few times in a few of your videos. Surely most humans are against social injustice by definition?

Nice video, Bangkok Pat.

This guy is sarcastic as fuck. I love him

Forgot the falang who does Muay Thai and is covered in sak yant 😉

wish it had been longer with more street/city scenes. Love to see one on "dodgy" areas that have great street life and food places as I'll be hitting Bkk Nov 2 :)
