You actually worded it very well when you wrote that ' It is way too dangerous for us falangs to go there and drink together with the thais. So lets skip over the 'why', and leave it at that this mindset exists among many expats. It was a frivolous theory -that may not be correct- as to why people can get to unrealistic levels of xenophobia over as much as having a drink in a local pub, if that pub happens to be frequented by local Thai people. (I am fully sober as always, but now in TripAdvisor mode in terms of trying to phrase something.)ДЄnd your post that I replied to was taken away, so maybe I had something there.Just relax and stick to the subject and dont attackДЄnyway I did not intend that as some sort of attack, I'm apologize if you perceived it as something in any way serious. Maybe that it's xenophobic and with no connection to things that are real things.

I'm genuinely unsure what else else I can say about it. I remember eating pat grapao snake with a couple of Thai guys in one karaoke place as the sun came up and many other strange experiences that I guess have made my memories a little more colourful. I used to be the only Western face in establishments that were literally miles from anywhere and I am a little surprised I never got into trouble. However, looking back on that time now, I am not sure that I would want to do it again. I got drunk as a sack, behaved very badly at times and only once was there any hint of trouble (and that was when I was with two other Thai people and was behaving impeccably. I used to live in a rural area of Nakhon Sawan and regularly went to the local Karaoke bars. Maybe Chiang Mai are different or maybe you are just different.? Maybe I am wrong but that is how I look at it.

Karaoke bars are for thai people and regular bars like in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket or wherever touristplace is for in first hand us falangs. So here at least, I will NEVER go to a karaoke bar. I have been tought that NEVER mix myself with strange/unknown thaipeople and myself when there is alcohol involved. It is way too dangerous for us falangs to go there and drink together with the thais. I read that you go to karaoke bars and I understand that you are a falang!! I live in Isaan (Chaiyaphum) and here it is a big no no to frequent these karaoke bars. But I can at least give my view of this concerning Karaoke bars and regular bars.
