@jonathanparis1988 i was in a taxi in bangkok a few years ago and the driver asked me if i was american or german. i told him i was american, and he was like, "americans come to thailand to have sex with our women, and we don't like that." then he said, "germans come to thailand to have sex with our boys, and we like that even less." lmao..

There's only one reason why old white men move to places like Thailand and Cambodia, and it's not for the food.

[Gademanyak]

@IamNotaThreat It's for the golf, it must be!

@IamNotaThreat Well first if all we all know what you are talking about there is no need twisting around your own words. Second of all I am young, not white and havent been to thailand at I just have a problem with dumb people who make generalizations(dont feel offended I never talked about you specifically ;) )

[IamNotaThreat]

@Retroexperto i didn't say anything about sex, but it must have some validity if you are insinuating it.

[Retroexperto]

@IamNotaThreat Thats a dumb generalization. Some go there because they cant afford anywhere else to live because its quite expensive and hard to live with the money you get from retirement. However it is true that many people go there for sex but saying that thats the only reason is disrespectfull towards tourist as well as thai culture.

C'mon Anthony, 'Northern Thailand's Lao region'? Firstly it is the north east, a region also known as Issarn that borders Thailand and Laos, not the north of Thailand. Most of the north borders Burma. And it isn't the 'Lao region'. It is the north east region. Laos is a country as Anthony clearly already knows. The Issarn dialect is very similar to some of the dialects spoken in Laos and the food eaten in Issarn is similar to many of the foods eaten in Laos.

Can't believe this guy has lived in Thailand for 9 years, has written a book about 'strange foods' and still pronounces the word Laos with with the 's' on the end. The country of Laos is pronounced as Lao. Just like the people and the food.
