Don’t wanna tell “I come from Thailand”
August 15, 2008
Do you know why…?
Yesterday evening I, my friend and her husband went to the beer festival in the city where I live, Dachau! The table was quite full. So we sat at one table that was already occupied by 3 old Germans. We ordered beer and some food.
One OLD & Fat German guy who was sitting next to me wanted to talk to me. He asked me in German about China (he thought I was Chinese). I told him that I was not Chinese and that I came from Thailand! Suddenly he seemed happy. He told me that he had been to Thailand many times before and there were many beautiful women there. I looked at my friend’s eyes and I didn’t say anything at that time. In my opinion, he was just an OLD and FAT German guy who always went to Thailand to get a Thai girl.
He tried to talk to me some more in German. I looked at him with cold eyes. And I ignored him.
But he didn’t stop. He still kept going to talk to me “Bla Bla Bla….” He moved himself closer to me. And He spoke to me as if I was a strip dancer and he was suggesting that I should do what strip dancers do in order to entertain him and cheer him up. It was disgusting. Finally he learnt and understood my position. He understood that I didn’t want to talk with an uneducated guy who went to Thailand to get girls. My Country, Thailand has beautiful seas, nice nature and some of the best food! People should visit Thailand for this.
My colleague recommended that I should tell people that I am Canadian etc (many Hong Kong people have moved to Canada). I love my country I but feel ashamed that people view Thailand in this manner.
Thanks for sharing this post with us!!

That is awful, and happens to Brazil as well. Many turists go there searching just for sex (not even a marriage) and there is a serious problem of child prostitution in the Northeast of Brazil. We always expect that 1st world countries have educated people, since they have all conditions to get a good education, have a solid history and access to culture more easily, but unfortunately it is a wrong idea. Don’t say that you came from another country, Patama. You have to show such jerks that they are stupid and know nothing about Thailand, which must be indeed a beautiful country with paradisiac beaches and good people and food. I hope I can visit it one day with you.

Don’t worry! Uneducated people always have misunderstandings for foreign countries. At least you come from a place everybody know. You should be happy about that :-).
