Don't be That Guy: Expat Stereotypes You Should Avoid [S7.E32]

Greg and Ed discuss some negative expat stereotypes - roughly the
person you (probably) don't want to become while living in
Thailand...at least forever. We all fall prey to stereotypes
sometimes - they have to come from somewhere - but if you're not
careful, you can become comfortable with some of these lifestyles
and before you know it, they come to define your new identity in
your new home, and suddenly you're known as The Whiner, or The
Apologist.


And that's just the beginning! Heaven forbid that people start to
know you as The Premature Pontificator, or The Creep, The Slob,
The Bubble Boy or The Player. Like we said, it's hard to escape
most of these all the time, but Bangkok's mai-pen-rai lifestyle
is addictive, and trust us - before you know it, a decade has
gone by and you're still wearing that old Chang singlet out to
dinner that you bought when you first arrived on Khao San Road
(that'd be The Slob). Have a listen and see how Greg and Ed
define these common tropes.
