Self percieved social standing . Like a badge of honour thats self appointed? Remindz me of some who think living in Thailand is all that. IMHO the worst of the lot are the mia farang brigade. They might gain face but they never gain status.

The missus doesn't count. You mean you're home alone at the moment and no one is looking over your shoulders

The missus doesn't count. You mean you're home alone at the moment and no one is looking over your shoulders Believe you me, there is more truth in that statement than many will ever care to admit. Another stupid little story. Was upcountry a few years ago at the home of a "Thai expert", he is such an expert he doesnt even live here or speak the language, but can tell you everything about the country and culture. We were outside in the yard smoking and drinking tea, something appeared from behind the bushes and walked towards him, hand thrust into his chest palm upwards, he pulls out 2,000 baht and hands it to the creature. Whats that all about I ask him as the creature comes towards me. Keeps the mrs happy he says. I think to myself, well if it keeps her happy, why doesnt she hand over her own money. The creature comes to me and pulls the same stunt, I tell her to eff off and mind her manners. All hell breaks loose, the creature goes crazy, the Thai experts wife appears and wants to know what happened. Then procedes into a rant, I left at that point and thought to myself, jeez how effin desperate are you for a wife you have to endure that shoit.
