Thank you very much SiamJai. Too thank you Vision because I am sure you read my statement (I seen you online) and you did not reply, so you must agree to an extent. Thank you for the restraint. SiamJai consider too that some of us it is hard to accept what you have done. I do feel a considerable amount of jealousy and maybe even some light contempt for the fact that you have just up and moved to Thailand. I wish I could do that at this point in my life and am sure that many others probably feel the same way.

The problem with educated people is we always read too deep into something. Mr Brad showed the farang shirts and coffee cups, now SiamJai is the joke on you.... Don't read too deep into this. Just imagine yourself knowing you are not a tourist but a resident of Thailand with the culture deeply engrained into yourself, putting that shirt on and wearing it when going out with your Thai associates or even going to work with it on. That would be funny!

Not funny because you are farang, but funny because they all know you are not a farang inside. Your name says it all. That is why the shirt or the coffee mug would be so cute. Even on the more literal side that Vision was talking about, passer's by on the street who don't know you would be amused at the shirt because you are and you proudly admit it.

The crazy thing is you both are very correct (as usual) which is why I think Mr Brad did a great job of trying to point it out with his post.
