It's the same, but in "farang culture" when a man wants to let others know he has mia nois (or "xcevribzees") he inserts a finger in his nostril and yells "Tickets please!" in a high pitched voice.

Most of my closest mates are white. Pretty sure we're all getting made fun of. Not even sure the point was to slag off Thai guys.
But we do have bigger dicks. Once she goes caucasian, you've got yourself an Asian.
We have infotainment, they have a junta. Same, same, but less obvious.

Re: Thai men and Foreign men. Similarities and differences
Okay so here's one for you.
Why do some Thai men grow their fingernails? I am not talking about just a little longer some Thai men grow one of their fingernails really long. I have seen this done on the pinky finger a lot. Why is that? I have not asked them this as I did not want to offend them. I did ask one of my step-mum's family this before and they simply laughed so do share if you know.
So many Thai men come accross to me as very feminine.

Isn't it for some drug related reason that dudes grow one nail long?
Snorting coke or summat? (I wouldn't know me sen, never done the hard satuff)

Re: Thai men and Foreign men. Similarities and differences
I'm really not sure mate but I would be lead to believe it isn't. I have seen a couple of higher class Thai's do this too and I doubt they'd be flaunting the fact they do drugs.

Re: Thai men and Foreign men. Similarities and differences
It's a BS sign of status. Or want to be status. It means 'I don't have to do manual labour - how could I with a perfectly manacured 2 inch pinky nail.'
It obviously meant more decades and centuries ago when all there was was manual labour round these parts. But all over Asia is still shown as a sign of 'I don't have to get my hands dirty working'.
AKA 'I'm better than you, you field working peasant'. Which can be said without even having to open your mouth, just flash the pinky.
The longer and better it's maintained, the farther from manual labour and thus higher they are. At least in their petty little minds.

You're in the minority. Hell, I thought I was also. I have one Thai very good mate - who is my age - and we've been friends for 12 years. Ive got another very good Thai mate who is retired but again, mates for years. BUT they arent your average Thai chaps.
