Forget about it. I read about a reporter who had lived in Thailand for 20 years and he came to the sad conclusion he was leaving the country without having made any real friends.
We are either
falangs,
gajins or
gringos, but most westerners have a battle uphill integrating, so that's why you find so many expat commnuities where they can bemoan their fate and how bad and stupid the locals are. They create their bubble as we do here on WP
