Quote[/b] ]The status thing is strange to me - How can all farang's be afforded considerable status considering the way some behave on their travels.. The way I have seen some behave makes me cringe and feel ashamed of my country.

Look around this forum. I feel that the farang's you have described are not the same one's that frequent this web site. I do agree with you though. There are many that have not earned the status they are granted. Don't be ashamed of your country because of these people, it's not your fault they are idiots. Instead hold your head high (not higher than the thai elders), smile and wai. Show the thai people how smart and polite you can be, and make a good impression on them.

I too am a white male, but I am not ashamed of my race and gender just because some can not master maturity. It does infuriate me when I see other farang's making an ass of them selves. I am embarissed for them but not ashamed of my self. Sterotypes can be an obstical, but I think it's fun to show people that they were wrong about you.
