Last year i wrote up a thread opener here and later did a blog on 'Dos and Donts of dating a Farang guy' includes all a lot of the streotypes of the Farang male. Have look at:

http://www.thai-blogs.com/index.php?...&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

Actually, im currently translating it into Thai so its looking a little messy at the moment.

I have never heard a Thai person say a black person is 'ugly' as that word translates to 'Khee Lay'. Perhaps i have heard them say 'mai lor' (not handsome) but that is their own preference. I have known a lot of Thais who dont find Farangs that handsome too! and vice-versa.

As for Farangs drinking - that is true, but there is no sterotype that we are drunkards, that is different! They think we drink a lot of beer cause we come from a cold climate and it is normal. Fortunately for Farang Guys, we get away with drinking a lot but as for the Thai Guy there is no such forgiveness!

Taking drugs? - Yes, Thais think us farang smoke a lot of herbs (may be not far from the truth for a lot of people) but again what they say isn't that awful...... (they see this from movies) As for a Thai guy taking drugs - again Thais see this as worse!

Sleeping around - again, for the Male it isnt that bad! Thai people think it is only normal for the Male to 'sow his oats'. They know all the Thai guys do too! In this regard it if the Female Female who is cast in a negative light - not the Farang Male!

Religion is unknown to us? - I dont know where that one comes from! never heard that one before!

But......then again The Farang has a lot of positive stereotypes which arent always true to life:

We are - Faithful, diligent, responsible etc.....

Let's face folks........doesn't the Farang also have his stereotypes about the Thai Person?
