Don't put words into my mouth. Which part of my post did I imply that Thai ladies are whores ?

That Thai culture is inferior does not mean Thai ladies are whores.


Well you sort of wrote learning the language is a means to an end. It's pretty open to intepretation. Then later it was talking about guys in here wanting more to learn the language to get to know more thai gals to screw rather than to really learn the language etc.

You explanation is correct, but it doesn't imply at all that Thai ladies are whores. The implication, as your explanation proves, is directed at the guys - guys who claimed that they're interested in Thai language.

If I say Singapore men go Joo Chiat to bonk Vietnamese prostitutes, does that mean all the ladies living in Joo Chiat constituency are whores ?

I'm not going to argue about specifics here but well singapore ppl stereotyping thai ladies as whores is well not that uncommon it's the same with them saying that filippino women are all maids. It's just spouted by ignorant ppl that's all.

Everyone makes these sorts of generalizations. Anyway let's put this thing to rest, i would rather talk about something else.

Yes, Singaporeans stereotyping Thai ladies as whores is not uncommon. But don't attribute it to my post.

You mean they are better liars than filippinos?

Could you give examples as when they tell lies other than the obvious tee rak and her foreign bf scenerio?

Do thais lie to each other as well?

I don't understand anything about the pinoys, so I'm not able to provide a comparison.

Do Thais lie to each other ? Of course. Anything that will help them 'save face' they will lie without batting an eyelid.

I know some smart ass will come in and say : "You mean Chinese don't lie ?"

When Chinese lie, they know it's wrong. When Thais lie, they don't think it's wrong. That is the difference in culture. Chinese understand 羞恥之心,Thais simply don't have this phrase in their idioms and proverbs. Only recently I asked my manager to offer me the equivalent of 人窮志不窮 in Thai, the manager called in two assistant managers (all University graduates). None could come up with a similar phrase in Thai. It's simply not in their dictionary !

Okay, not anymore Thai bashing in this thread.

Exactly. Thais will lie to anyone as-a-matter-of-factly. Foreigners who don't understand this culture will end up with the short end of the stick. I'm not Thai bashing, but this is their culture. Telling lie is an important tool to save face and exposing another telling lie is discourteous. In such a situation, make up and tell your own lie to smooth things out both ways. Again, yes, other races including Chinese do that too. But you have to live in Thailand for an extended period of time to understand the extent they'd go. It's not about swindling your money. It's about face.

Hmm but i had one thai gal tell me matter-of-factly her job and it wasn't something to be proud of and she didn't lie.

Perhaps you could give me an example of a face saving situation.

Maybe this thai guy lies to his other thai frens he's working as a director when he's just a delivery guy?

Your manager?
Company manager? Bank manager? Or some other type of manager?
Interesting. Hmmmmmm.................

Perhaps you should also clarify with Jah whether you are male or female.

What ? นั่งตู้กระจก:biggrin:

She's not telling a lie, she's telling the obvious when it earns her more sympathy and confidence. What's the whole story behind, caveat emptor. I remember Jah Rastafar I hates people telling the obvious. He calls them Sherlock Holmes. I was one of the Sherlock Holmeses graduated from the Jah Rastafar I Detective Academy too. :biggrin:

When someone (i.e. me) posted tiger is the biggest cat, JRI posted yeah right Sherlock Holmes, as if nobody knows. When someone else posted election is around the corner, JRI posted yeah right Sherlock Holmes, as if nobody knows.

Take a good look at the mirror, compose yourself and take the principle of the obvious to another level. If a Thai girl tells you her profession in the sex industry qualifying that she's not proud of it, what does it mean and what does her hope to achieve?

Okay, when you said 'she is not telling a lie' I thought you were implying that I said she was lying which, of course, I did not.

I was merely asking if she was working in the 'fish bowl' business. I did not say she is or she is not in the fish bowl business. But you went a step further to presume that she is indeed in the sex business.

Very simple. She is trying to 'hook' you. This is a very Isaan modus operandi, otherwise known as 'ทำหน้าสงสาร'
