Well can you say Khun Jeen?

I've already covered this. Yes, if you're addressing somebody called Jeen!

There are two arguments raging here. One, over the difference between Khun and Khon. And two, who or what the heck is a Farang? I've given my side of the argument re Khun and Khon. My solution to the Farang argument is to rename ourselves Farengi. Then we all know where we stand.

Boy, over and out. ????

No never. You would phrase it as Khun <name of the addressee>, unless the addressee's name was "Thai".

 

Is this a wind up? No wait, don't answer that...
