Friendship with Farangs is mostly situational.
Hmmm. I'm sure it's sound advice ... if only I could understand what it means. Use other people as you want to be used?

What a bizarre notion. Do you also dream in Thai? Accept Thai precepts about the nature of the world? Consider the king to be truly a demi-god?

My greatest resource ~ by a country mile ~ in Thailand is my Beloved ... bar none. So I nuture that above all.
I doubt my farang friends in Thailand would begrudge me that ... as they know who they are, and who we are.
I wouldn't be quite so dramatic & negative as jaafarabutarab's post regarding "farang social circles" . . . as I'm sure Rainwalker did not mean that kind of cliched, gossipy ~ often sozzled ~ aquaintance.
Cheers ...

OK, if that's fine with me but what are you doing here on an English speaking farang message board? There are Thai boards.
