Re: Is complaining the new Farang pastime?

i like complaining
i really do
i only do it for my own amusement
i have no intention of stopping

so its not a new pastime, and should only be delivered in a constructive way where it will make a difference
5 star hotels are the best places to complain in my experience, noodle stall employees lack the wattage to be engaging

Only for the farangs who haven't copped on that the locals are really stooopid and everything they do/say should be laughed at then ignored.

Oh look, the infestation of bedbugs on Isaan trains was 'the foreigners fault as they jumped onto their backpacks while out in the jungle' according to the transport minister Santi Pompat.

LOL.

Re: Is complaining the new Farang pastime?

This was backed up by Sawitti Malaipan , an entomologist (a scientist who studies insects) from Kasetsart University who said 'some foreigners attract the insect because they don't like to bathe'.

Of course hygiene has nothing to do with how much bedbugs are attracted to you as they go for warmth and sources of CO2.

But hey, didn't stop her lips from moving and unbelievably stooopid words from coming out.

LOL. God bless Thailand and it's 60 million 'Manuels' from Faulty Towers.

Re: Is complaining the new Farang pastime?

The infestation is on the Ubon Ratchathani-Bangkok line. Since when is Ubon a hotspot for Sven and Bjorn, or Avi and Shlomi to go backpacking?

Blame the foreigner. Much, much, much, much easier than taking responsibility yourself.

Hoorah!

It is a very popular route for those that wish to sample the delights of Southern Laos.

Re: Is complaining the new Farang pastime?

Why isn't the Chiang Mai line completely overrun then? That's full of revolting Israelis and assorted backpackers on their "gap year".

It's ok, jai yen, the people who made those comments, like the other 60 million of their compatriots are total retards, lol.

Living in the land of lil imbeciles sure is entertaining.
