Then there are the "farang" who refer to every Asian male as a "boy" regardless of age.

I justt say 'Pom mai dai pen farang, chu Kuhn John’.  

On the other hand, I have always been confused why foreigners always say ’This is my Thai Wife’   If they were in their home country would they say ‘this is my Brit wife, or German wife??  No, they would just say ‘This is my wife’……….why do they always feel the need to announce they have a Thai wife??

'

I don't know anyone who does that, neither the German, Norwegian, Swiss, American, Australian, British, Swedish nor Italian dudes that I know do that. It might sometimes get used to make a point when it is necessary to establish someone's nationality (at the immigration office perhaps) but not in personal introductions. Westerners generally don't care where the wife is from, where the kids were born and who the father is - except for Thais, of course.

I'm not a farang. My name is John.

 

It's an incorrect statement as he is a farang. 555

Giving discounts based on race is racist.

 

Not getting the same discounts as a person who is a native to Thailand and claiming racial discrimination is quite frankly hilarious.

 

Is this opinion (frozen) pension-related by any chance?

True. He could have said, "My name is not 'Farang'. My name is John."

I tried to get a Google translation of that.

 

Google detected that it was in Mizo language but managed to translate only one word: chu = that's
