Chinese are not farangs. 'Farang' is a racial designation which means white/European/Caucasian people.

Thais can be so cringe where money is concerned. At least pull your tongue out before the camera roll Anutin!

Anutin told Thai press, “It is totally unexpected that my interview received 490 million views. They asked me at the airport to wish Chinese people a happy Chinese New Year, and I did my best. That probably made the video booming.”

The tap dancing at the end also helped.

Was this a paid "shill fest"?

(Some "white monkeys" be making good money for less.)
