Don't be That Guy: Expat Stereotypes to Avoid [S5.E22]

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.
