Why do Thais think Farang Like to Travel Thailand ?

Why….do farang like to travel Thailand ?


Thai #1

[Thais] are generous, helpful, friendly, have bright smiles, and they like to help others.


There are many places to travel and lots of culture to experience, from the north to the south.

It is safe and convenient to travel and live here.

The cost of living is cheap and the food is delicious.

There are many activities, both on the land and water, to choose from.

Beautiful oceans, open-air tuk-tuks, aromatic somtam.

Thai #2

Thailand has everything. In addition, the value of money is very different [here].


Thai #3

Many places to travel to, delicious food, cheap money.


It is a tourist country, making it easy to travel [here].

Thai #4

[You] get the royal treatment.


In addition everything’s cheap, so it’s normal for many to come.

But that’s something which is so wrong from a moral viewpoint!
(my comment – it is?)

Thai #5

Foreign tourists that come to Thailand have many levels: those with a lot of money, those with little money, different nationalities, and gender.


Their purpose and goals of traveling are different…

(my comment – he then agrees with the previous responses, but I edited that part out for simplicity)

Tourists who come looking like thieves, or that come just to commit crimes, there are quite a lot.

(my comment – well, I definitely see them myself, but I’d say they are a minority IMHO)

Those that we call farang, their own countries are a mix of good and bad.

(my comment – I think he means some countries are good and some are bad?)

Whether [these countries] are worse or better than ours (Thailand) we cannot compare.


But the main reason these tourists come is Thais are generous and helpful, smile brightly, are sincere, and don’t look at everything as only business like in other countries.

(my comment – true, assuming you don’t count the million scam artists prowling the tourist areas)

Thai #6

[Thailand] has everything, and everything is easy to find.


Thai #7

Because Thailand’s air is pure, the oceans beautiful, the girls are pretty (sexy the way farang like),


delicious food, good service (because Thais see farang as gods I guess),


and the value of Thai money is lower than that of his.


While of average [financial] status in their country, they are very rich in ours. Why wouldn’t they like it?


Thai #8

To escape the cold weather, to find a place that is a little hot, cheap, and laid back/comfortable.


Thai #9

If you want the real answer . . . Thai weed is the best in the world.
