Bangkok - what's eating younger Thais?

Remotely, it didn't even cross my mind as a crazy notion. On a cold drizzle windy morning by courtesy of everything unplanned and with a limited amount of Thai Bahts but plenty of time to throw and waste, I landed in Bangkok - aimless and clueless. Something I wanted to do in a long time on a snail's pace.

Bangkok, as is foreknown is the Land of Smiles (LOS). I see it more fitting as Land of Sluts or Stupids. Bangkok today is a temptress lair of poison-ivys...and if you ain't careful enough, you'll leave the city with a busted ego and holes in your wallet or even more dreadful, your fingers burned. If you're offended, too bad. You should stop reading and move on to some other blog.

I never consider Bangkok a travel destination owing to its close likeness to Kuala Lumpur. But, after visiting her this time around I change my perception. In one gasp I say this - Bangkok today is more racially divided than Kuala Lumpur. The city Bangkok has metamorphed into a vicious chameleon or should I say a place for terraforming. Even with her fast paced scary infrastructure built-up and an all too quick a 'wannabee' Asian Tiger city with diverse populace, she had leap frogged beyond her capabilities with aimless mayhem. 

Bangkok was a sin city then. Now she's a crude whore. And yes, they have temples and stupas everywhere and yes it's the Buddha land many say, but what Buddha are we talking about?

The Bangkok I knew was rather dense, slow and impoverished. Now she's notoriously intoxicated with innuendos, wayward spooks and weirdos, lazy populace, western houte-couture copycat idiots, serious fake branding pin-headed masochistic guys, not so saintly men in bright orange robes and loads of unwanted political racist satires. Not discounting all things foreign, she's now populated with a fine share of her own pirated-incandescent looks and behavioural lunatics. To cap it all, they even have intricately maintained and archived a Jurassic *King. 

* No royalty I know has done what His Majesty King Bhumibol has rendered to the people of Thailand. His deeds will speak beyond his reign. That's not King. That's one god of a King.
 

Does it sound Kuala Lumpur to you? It sounds worse.

Who ever said the Thais are demure and polite? Anger management is in dire need in this vast city, that much am sure. The funnel end of being in Bangkok and racially abused boils down to the influx of farangs (foreigners); and the Thais taking a liking to them. Looking deeper, the very fabric of farang DNA is what the younger Bangkok crowd is game about. Farang is their Big Bang. All else is yesterday's thrash. 

The Thai fairer gender have got this idea imbedded in their puny thinking - if there's one way out of the country, a way out of poverty or a way into the dream life, it has got to be by way of the farangs and aping their lifestyles. 

Multitudes of farangs who throng Bangkok for jobs and quick-fixes are baited and enticed by the younger generation in the hope of hitching a ride away to a greener field of play. With their little learned Thai-English, these ladies dupe the foreign men with well coated Thai finesse - a fail-safe art tested to deceive or delude. 

Many ladies in Thailand, as young as college-educated are readily advertising themselves as free mail-order brides. Their 'well-structured' broken English resumes are advertised in almost every social site known since computers became their toilets. The consequences of going thru' a botched or a failed acquaintance with a farang is never taken seriously by these ladies. Come what may, landing on the lap of a farang with its fair share of trials and tribulations is well understood by these ladies. They've learned this fine Thai-art well by a well connected labyrinth of equal minded mayhem-filled steal and run 'modus-operandi' Thai lady-force. All competition in getting a man to end their single-hood is only geared towards the blonde hair, white skin, blue / green eyes, big nose farang gentlemen. [God sure made you Caucasians blessed]

The same is shared by the equally competitive ladyboys and competition I hear is steed healthy.

Too bad. Indians (India) are definitely NOT welcomed into Thailand. 

**There is a bar I was told that bans entry specifically to Indians, Arabs, Japanese and Chinese nationals into their 'vice-frenzy' red-light abode.

Nowhere, not even in a fine-dine restaurant is an Indian seen as a human. He or she is viewed as dirty, ugly and stingy. Other Asian nationals are not fancied either. Why you may ask. The Thais do not fancy Asians for reasons being childish, ugly, too brainless, short, stingy, uncouth, penniless, bad spoken English and dark skin. These are what I was told by a farang who's been living in Bangkok a good 16 years. Aren't the Thais Asians? Aren't the Thais dark-skin? In fact this farang knows exactly what he was saying when he retorted - the Thais are the great descendants of Ancient India and yet they hate their own kind.  I agree. History relays that well. Did I not say land of stupids? 

These lame headed Thais have definitely grown to hate their own species, that much I can say. All they want and desire is to accommodate farangs and nothing else can make them think otherwise. Nationals of Turkey, Arab States, Malaysia and Singapore are on their hate list as well. Talk about Buddhism gone faux-pas. 

++ I was told, an Indian(India) with a Singapore PR was rudely ejected out from the apartment he was staying due to colour of his skin. Now this is Buddha land we're talking about.  Has Bangkok changed?  You bet, for the worst.

They're more places to visit now then before. Bangkok is an airless city with chocking traffic. Rude and obnoxious people in monkey suits everywhere. Skyless fogged skyline. Aimless farangs moonlighting in five-foot ways and sleazy joints. Farangs with American wanabee Thai 'kamikaze' girlfriends, A-Go-Go Bars, pubs, girls minus the brains and sanity, men butterfly, the river Chao Phraya polluted beyond her brink, Thai women looking like hopeless Chink hogs and drunken farangs with faggots. Not forgetting the endless sign board hoardings, men in raybans and brown suits and the thumb print of Bangkok - colourful Tuk-Tuks and pink taxis.

Oh! one other thing - Thailand's younger generation's quintessential weapon - grammar dead Thai English. 

The Thais are seriously obsessed with the language and believe it's the passport to marry a farang and move to a foreign land. It's more of a status issue than anything else. Any Caucasian irrespective being fat, pot-bellied, bald, old, or even limbless and skinned with tattoos does not matter. A farang is a farang.  All else talk later.

Today, Bangkok is more linked with vice, sex, lewd bars, fetish joints and ladyboys along the streets of Patpong and Sukhumivit. It's a city resembling a harem with thieves and spivs trained to cheat and rob just about very tourist out there. I was also told scores of farang 'wolves' disguised as Romeos lure potential Thai Juliets for a quick-get-away one night stands. **This info came by courtesy of a has-been farang 'wolf' met over a late night beer. 

** Some people really have no idea what or who they talk to. 

In the wake of obscenity advertised openly in Thailand, I began to wonder if gay marriages will ever be legalized in this Buddha Kingdom. I was told by a Thai guy (a teacher), gay marriages would NOT happen in Thailand. It's against the culture. The culture here is strong. You kidding me! He must either be extremely poor not to visit the Sois of Sukhumit or living on Mars. I could only laugh to myself thinking of the raving "uncultured" activities taking place in mainstream Bangkok as opposed to what this teacher said.
 

English as a language is definitely murdered in Thailand by the Thais. The majority Buddha believers are lazy and unwitting learners. The bigger problem with them is grammar. It's something they can't fathom and will never make any effort to correct it. But alas, they do have a solve-the-puzzle-weapon - Google Translate.

Below are a few adverts put out by Thai 'Juliets' to trap farangs - in other words "free mail-order bride" adverts.  I came across this web-site while browsing thru' my emails in a run-down Internet cafe in Bangkok.

++ this lady had inadvertently left her social website open when I logged in, (and that's how I chanced upon the other messages as well). When I left the cafe, I did the honour of logging off for her and the rest. 

Yep, they sure do need their Farangs.

* a tip note : Always 'LOG OFF' from any web-site you surf when leaving a cyber cafe else you get someone like ME reading your messages and posting it HERE. ;-)


Well! On a solo travel, I had a good time exploring Bangkok all over again. I took like a truck load of pictures but a massive malfunction to my camera got all my snap snap 'GONE.' Anyway my photography days are all long gone and dusted. I don't think I'll ever go back to Bangkok. The trails end here.  

++ The below here is a one-off 'true-story' from a farang who's seen and heard it all too often in Bangkok. So, what you're about to read is a true account of a modern Thai lady's 'modus-operandi'.

A Thai lady will spend her entire young age looking and scouting for her suitable man - Caucasian only (age does not matter, but money DOES matter). Having found one, she'll 'dedicate' herself to this one man and ensure all her days and nights are spent pouring out her fake love-potion hopelessly until marriage.

The real drama starts after marriage when she works her way to limit her conversations with her husband citing tiredness and fatigue due to work. She'll come home late from work citing work dead-lines and  traffic jams. Eventually, she'll not be home at all citing her boss needed her to finish up her work which in actual fact is a lie. It simply means her 'boss’ is the new man or victim in her life and a suitable replacement for her hubby.

All this will only start when she has duped her hubby into transferring all monies and wealth to her name in the sake of love and security. When that done and transacted, she'll then make her move and irritate, at times scorn her hubby into having marital-problems. And mind you, these Thai ladies are well versed with the Thai law, thus know exactly how to hit the nail at the right place without a miss. 
 
She'll start flirting with her new man and ensure it looks obvious. The news will eventually reach her hubby which is exactly what she wants and as part of her plan. Then all hell will break loose. She'll start her rant, show her real colour and sometimes relay her internal sufferings from boredom and marital responsibilities. Without a twitch, she'll say her new man is her boss and there is nothing between them. It's part of her well-executed "modus-operandi" work.
 
The husband will invoke legal proceedings in which he stands no chance of reclaiming any assets from her - and this is also what she wants. When the proceedings start, it’s time for her to move out and live with her new man, and start planning another scheme or the same scheme to 'extort' her new man. 
 
In normal cases, 2 things will happen for sure I was told.

One - she'll live away from her husband but will stay in touch with her family at all times. In most cases, the family is in cohort with her. It seems Thai law at its dumbest ebb favours their nationals more than anything else. So, the hubby is on a loosing streak all the way. And if that does not go down well, then the No 2 option takes over.

Two - she or her family will hire a hit man to finish off the husband. When that is done, she’ll marry her new man and if she so desires will go on with the same 'modus-operandi’ all over again.

I believe this isn't a story told out of anger or frustration. It was told by the very person who had to endure the torture and scorn of a Thai lady on the rampage. This person was actually thrown out of his home (1 million plus plus baht) he built to accommodate his wife and her family.

He was left penniless and alone in Bangkok.

Till then, 

Kub Khun Kab (KKK), that's 'Thank You Very Much' in Thai. Sounds more like Klu Klax Klan.

I had to leave Bangkok unexpectedly due to the impending political unrest in Thailand.
