Despite living in Thailand, why do some foreigners hate Thailand?

为什么有些外国人一边生活在泰国,一边讨厌泰国?


评论翻译

Jane Jones
I haven’t met anyone who hates Thailand. Most ex-pats are free to leave if they feel so negatively about somewhere. Even if sent here to work by a large company, you can escape within a year or two.
I am British, live in Thailand but have also lived around the world (4 continents and many more countries). I think the unique thing about Thailand is the feeling that you’re unwanted. I have some good Thai friends and am not of course talking about everyone, but Thailand is xenophobic in the extreme and therefore, people feel free to criticise Thais.

我还没遇到过讨厌泰国的人。大多数外国人如果对某个地方感到如此消极,他们可以自由离开。即使是被大公司派到这里工作的,一两年内也能逃离这里。
我是英国人,住在泰国,但也曾在世界各地(4大洲和更多的国家)生活过 。我认为泰国的独特之处在于你会觉得自己不受欢迎。我有一些泰国籍的好朋友,当然不是说所有人都这样,但泰国是极端排外的,也因此,人们可以自由地批评泰国人。


The majority of Thais I’ve met are two-faced, dishonest, greedy and only want our money. We live in Thailand despite people feeling like that. Often because we have a higher standard of living; we earn similar or higher salaries than we would at home and the cost of living is much lower.

我遇到的大多数泰国人都是两面派,不诚实,贪婪,只想要我们的钱。尽管人们有这样的感觉,但是我们依然选择生活在泰国。这通常是因为在这里我们能享受到更高的生活水平;在这里我们挣的工资和在国内差不多甚至更高,生活成本也低得多。


We don’t expect Thailand to change. We know that Thainess, loss of face and the notion of hierarchy with ‘farang’ being slightly below soi dog will never change but we enjoy the benefits whilst being free to criticise the negatives. Remember, Western Society has flourished because people feel able to criticise. Leese majeste, defamation laws and successions of coups are holding the country back and until Thais are able to understand criticism without being so childish and thin skinned, the world around them will continue to evolve and leave them behind. You’ll be the hub of nothing but empty promises from those in charge.

我们不指望泰国会做出改变。我们知道泰国人、丢脸和“farang”略低于“soi dog”的等级观念永远不会改变,但我们享受好处的同时,可以自由地批评这里负面的东西。记住,西方社会之所以繁荣,是因为人们能够自由的进行批评。冒犯君主、诽谤法律和接连不断的政变正在阻碍这个国家的发展,直到泰国人能够理解批评的意义,而不是变得如此幼稚和脸皮薄。他们周围的世界将继续发展,把他们抛在后面。而你们只会得到那些掌权者的空洞承诺。


Drazen Jagunic
It is amazing, for short periods. Once you live here longer you will quickly realize the flaws and see through the fake paradise.

对于来泰国不久的人来说,这里是令人惊叹的。一旦你在这里住得久一点,你就会很快意识到这些缺陷,并看穿这个虚假的天堂。


Noise - There is always noise, from construction to traffic, to broadcast messages going out in public from shit speakers.
The worst noise of all - Motorbikes, everyone is trying to make sure their motorbike is the loudest. If you live in Bangkok it is unhand-able, but everywhere else is bad as well.
People have serious phone addictions. From 5–78 year olds, average screen time is 8 hours per day, while they walk, drive, skytrain and in public bathrooms they are watching tiktok, youtube or facebook.
Ignorant and stupid - They are unable to use their own head to think and come to logic conclusions.

噪音——到处都有噪音,从建筑到交通,到垃圾扬声器在公共场所广播信息。
这其中最糟糕的噪音是摩托车,每个人都试图确保他们的摩托车是最大声的。如果你住在曼谷,那简直无法忍受,但其他地方也很糟糕。
人们有严重的手机瘾。5-78岁的人平均每天看屏幕的时间为8小时,他们走路、开车、坐轻轨,在公共厕所里看抖音、youtube或facebook。
无知和愚蠢——他们无法用自己的头脑思考和得出逻辑结论。


Military state - They have been indoctrinated with the great king and great nation. Pictures of the king serves as keeping them under watch. And it has effects of a nation as a military state with all that entails.
People are extremely lazy. ( A large percentage of the people are working in the sun, the heat and the streets ) The other 80%, will never walk further than 5 meters to closest 7/11. They will order food from 7/11 2 min down the road. They will never, cook, clean or eat out if they do not have a scooter. Order grab, foodpanda eat and watch youtube.
People are two-faced. They do not stand up to themselves and avoid conflict, which makes it impossible to have a genuine discussion with anyone.

军管国家——他们被灌输了伟大的国王和伟大的国家的概念。国王的照片起到了监督他们的作用。这样将一个正常国家塑造成了一个军事国家,军队承担了所有的责任。
人们非常懒惰。(很大一部分人是在阳光下、高温下或在街上工作)。另外,80%的人永远不会走路超过5米到到离的最近的7/11便利店。他们会从只需要2分钟路程的7/11便利店点餐。如果没有小型摩托车,他们将永远不会做饭、打扫或外出就餐。点餐,付款,看youtube。
这里的人都是虚伪的。他们不能勇敢地面对自己,一味的避免冲突,这使得你不可能与任何人进行真正的讨论。


People are so afraid of loosing face and looking bad in front of others, that it makes interactions non-genuine.
People will never take any initiative to do or complete anything. The mindset is “someone else will do it”
They simply cant drive. It is not that they drive fast, or irresponsible. It is just that they completely lack skills. I have driven along all of They are racist. They do not show it. But double pricing, dark skin complexity etc is just the tip of the iceberg.
Non educated and not intelligent. Even a simple logical math problem concerning an electricity bill can not be solved for 3 months. They completely lack logical thinking.
Everything is always delayed and not working as it should.
Cant tell the time.

人们非常害怕在别人面前丢脸,这使得互动变得不真诚。
人们永远不会主动去做或完成任何事情。他们的心态是“别人会做的”。
他们根本不会开车。这并不是说他们开得快,或者不负责任。只是他们完全缺乏开车的技能。
他们是种族主义的。他们只是没有表现出来。但双标定价、深色皮肤区别对待等只是冰山一角。
没有受过教育,不聪明。即使是一个简单的电费逻辑数学题,他们花3个月也解不出来。他们完全缺乏逻辑思维。
所有的事情总是被延迟,不能正常工作。
不关心时间。


Superficial. I have lived in Monaco, Cannes and St Tropez. But Thai people are worst. White skin creams, plastic surgery, tiktok, Instagram, Gucci, BMW, Apple. Everything is a about Status. Bangkok traffic so bad because it is considered low level of status to take the skytrain. Having a car is status. And the car should be as huge as possible. The country is built on small streets with tank cars to drive on them. Because they are superficial and care about face and status.

肤浅的说。我曾在摩纳哥、戛纳和圣特罗佩生活过。但是泰国人是表现最差的。美白护肤霜,整容手术,抖音,Instagram, Gucci, BMW,苹果。一切都关乎地位。曼谷的交通如此糟糕,是因为人们认为是乘坐轻轨的都是地位低下的人。有车就是有地位。车应该尽可能的大。这个国家到处都是狭小的街道,街道上有坦克车行驶在上面。因为他们肤浅,在意面子和地位。


Overrated food. Seriously, instant noodles, cold rice, cheap processed pork and chicken. Shrimp and Squid that are 100% not even real. Completely tasteless, so they add a ton off oil, sugar and chili. It is a mystery that thai food is so popular. For what reasons ? Compare it to food in Middle east or south Europe.
It is very hot. Always.

被高估的食物。说真的,方便面、冷米饭、廉价的加工猪肉和鸡肉。虾和鱿鱼100%都不是真的。完全没有味道,所以他们加了很多油,糖和辣椒。泰国菜如此受欢迎真是个谜。原因是什么?与中东或南欧的食物没法比。
天气很热。一直很热。
