Protectionism is always way to hold the economy back

Tell that to Mr Trump

Maybe the guy has a foot fetish and as such is not engaging in work but in pleasure

In places like Australia thai's are free to work in any occupation they like, they can even buy land.  To treat people differently based on race, religion or gender is illegal in Australia and racist

But that is only if they have the right visa. They cannot go to Australia on a Tourist Visa and work which a lot of them used to do through Thai agencies and they do not pay tax in Australia. There used to be many Thai's that would pay Thai Agencies to organize their Tourist Visa to Australia and when they arrived they would be put in a small house with a lot of others and taken early of a morning the pick strawberries or other fruit or vegetables around Victoria. One house in Clayton, Melbourne was a small 3 bedroom house with 15 Thai's living in it and taken by vans to the Dandenong's to pick strawberries or to Koo Wee Rup area picking and packing asparagus illegally

The term “Farang” in Thailand originally referred to any foreigner, not specifically those with white skin. Historically, it was used to describe Westerners, particularly Europeans, but over time, it has evolved to be a general term for any non-Thai person, regardless of their skin color.

 

While it’s true that “Farang” is commonly associated with white-skinned foreigners in popular usage, especially among locals, it doesn’t exclusively refer to that group. It can include people from other regions as well, such as those from Southeast Asia, and even East Asians. It’s important to note that the term is often neutral, though it can carry a variety of connotations depending on context, tone, and the speaker’s intent.
