Is there not another word for foreigners from Asia? When i hear the word fallang i always assume them to be white Westerners. For me a person from Myanmar is not a fallang.

I keep meaning to start a thread on the different spellings of farang. That is a new one.

Just three westeners in that lot. In the good old times it would've been over half, but they've all already moved out of Thailand.

Hence they have had to extend the definition of "foreigner" to cover all fish in the sea.

 

They've pulled the same nifty trick with "tourist".
