I am referred to by name by my wife's family and close friends. Others may start by referring to me as "the farang", but that changes if they get to know my name.  Obviously, I will always be identified as "the farang" by staff at the local 7/11 or Punthai coffee shop, etc. and I am fine with that. Likewise, locals will mainly refer to me as the farang when talking among themselves. And when I receive a call from a delivery guy, they refer to my house as "bahn farang". Makes it mush easier giving directions too.</description><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 01:24:53 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Politics, PC, un-PC, any subject, Satire via MEME or Vid (shorts)</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1325294-politics-pc-un-pc-any-subject-satire-via-meme-or-vid-shorts/?do=findComment&comment=20521707]]></link><description>.</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_05/wars.jpg.94e3f3339c84f3b2e4398f066394277b.jpg" length="33312" type="image/jpeg"/><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 01:24:44 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Travel for 2 weeks</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395267-travel-for-2-weeks/?do=findComment&comment=20521706]]></link><description>In many cases they deport people for the 20k rule and don't even ask them if they have it</description><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 01:24:24 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Politics, PC, un-PC, any subject, Satire via MEME or Vid (shorts)</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1325294-politics-pc-un-pc-any-subject-satire-via-meme-or-vid-shorts/?do=findComment&comment=20521705]]></link><description>.</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_05/174k.jpg.bb8a6d34a1fd99a395553299d3598f60.jpg" length="44680" type="image/jpeg"/><pubDate>Mon, 25 May 2026 01:24:20 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Social Media & Societies Downgrade]]></title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395247-social-media-societies-downgrade/?do=findComment&comment=20521704]]></link><description>Social media are a threat to government narritive.
