"Farang" financial status, you Thai gays please behold!




Hello gay guys! 
First, I have to apologize for you 2 things in this article…

1.) This article is not meant for you all westerners, on the other hand, it is for my people, thai gays. 
2.) I told you guys before I wouldn't use the word "Farang" in this blog but this is really specific for Thai gays so it would be a bit conflicting.

Alright if you, westerners, are reading this along with me it can be great as well because I am going to explain my people about the most irritating but important thing - Money. 

Yes, Thai people have been taught for ages that all westerners have a lot of money to spend in Thailand as they can see it everyday that you guys spend money in Thailand like that money is just a bunch of leaves. 

Alright, my people! Now behold, I have a ton of "Farang" friends telling me about our mistaken thought over their money. You see, we all have this kind of live circle - born, study and work. 
And work is what I am focusing on. I am not sure how many of you who are reading my fabulous blog are workers or not but as you guys that working in Thaland - if you are not really talented - you wouldn't get paid a lot and it is like the nature of thai gay to be fond of party or we are party animals… Of course with that low payment we wouldn't be able to afford it but being with foreigners would nice as they would always support your drink payment.

You may think it is really normal for them. 

Time to reconsider about that, guys! 


You see, you guys have to work to earn money so do they and they have to work all year long or maybe 2 years before coming to Thailand which they consider it as their best holiday. Of course they don't mind paying for you because it wouldn't make them skint for a couple of drinks but please… 

PLEASE forget about "always" 
They can't treat you every time and please show your manner, at least, offer to pay for yourself even though they would let you pay and don't feel offended. If you think you can't afford the drinks at the places where those westerners want to go, it is not wrong to say no or recommend them to go somewhere cheaper.

Here is the thing I always when I go party with my western friends. If I don't have much money that time, I would limit my spendings and let my friends know how much I can spend …believe me they will understand you or if you are lucky they would offer to pay for you. 

Just don't say yes while you are broke and go along way with them and later on become their burden as they have to pay for you or they have to worry about you not having fun. 

So be honest to them and if you want friendship it should be over "money" - and please quit thinking that "they are farangs, they have to always pay" you can pay for them sometimes if you feel like to. You should be Greng Jai sometimes, guys. 

So for me, I would say "When I have friend, I always forget about money but I have to be careful about my money and their money" 
and your friendship will last longer than you usually have. 

So guys, it's friday soon!
Time to go party! 
I am getting ready now :)

Must-know facts about Thai guys (Part II) : They save 'face' more than 'money'

Lose face? What the heck is this? Come on! don't pretend like you don't know it, just because you guys are hardly in this kind of situation but behold folks! This thing is really common in Thailand and maybe it's become part of the culture now. Well, losing face is feeling extremely embarrassed or being in a really really awkward situation... and that is what we, Thai people really hate! Geert Hofstede I think it is not fair to say that Thai guys are afraid to lose face as actually all Thai people are. First thing is, according to Geert Hofstede's Cultural dimension, Thai people has really high point for the concept of uncertainty avoidance culture, which means Thai people are afraid to to be in such an uncertain situation. Alright enough for academic article... let's go back to the reality However, it really makes sense. Now time to explain how we would be like if we are in 'face-losing' situation. Let me explain by telling the story. ...

5 months of no sex and I just had a date first time in 2 and a half years!

Hi y'all! My last post was all about random thing I did, saw and experienced at Chiang Mai and I have been thinking so hard what to do in order to have you guys back to read my tiny little blog again LOL Well, It has been such interesting time with me lately. I have been busy planning on my first ever Europe trip. It involves a lot of paper works and blah blah. The good thing is, I get to forget about my ex for a while. Not that I can't get over him or anything but come on! it was 2 and a half years and I would be heartless to never have my own sad days at all. Thanks god, I have friends. People gave me a lot of advises about how I should deal with my breakup or I would call it feeling missed out. Some said that I should just take a moment of my life, go somewhere and spend time with myself (Well, if my boss allowed me to take another holidays, I wouldn't hesitate LOL), some even said that I should just let myself go with how I feel and never force myself to not be s...

Sadness doesn't last long, the mistakes that do.

Everytime, I watched Thai soap opera and when it came to depressive parts of it, I would always turn it off as it was always sad to think how people could handle such things, how they could manage to get through that kind of stuff or even how their lives would become after those hard times. I couldn't figure it out - not sure if it's because I am too stupid, too young or too blind to see the ways. But sadness is always like that, isn't it? No matter how much you try to avoid it, it always come to you. I used to think when I was a little child that I was the most happy boy in the world because I had everything. I have my lovely mom, my great dad and my supportive family. Then I've learned my life a lot these past years that life can't be interesting if you are not sad, uninspired and depressive.  I have had so many heartbreaking moments - there were so many that I, sometimes, just suddenly lost the faith in love. I used to believe that I might not need to l...
