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. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
