exgov Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Nobody calls me "that dirty, nasty non-citizen who moderates ThaiVisa." 555. I can think of a few (ex) TV members who might Back on topic. I'm with the 'non-insult' school. It's usually just a way of defining someone who's name you don't know (or have forgotten) no worse than 'the black guy', 'the red head', 'the little bald chap' I've only been called it in a bad way once, and that was when I caused a Thai driver to stop for me on a pedestrian crossing, seems he thought that it should be a capital offence. One can rest assured that no matter what country one is visiting when the locals put a$$hole in front of their word for foreigner it is disrespectful.

teatree Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Why do Thais refer to a Japanese by saying "Khon Yipoon" or Or a Chinese "Khon Jiin" but miss the khon out when they say Farang? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meemiathai Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Why do Thais refer to a Japanese by saying "Khon Yipoon" or Or a Chinese "Khon Jiin" but miss the khon out when they say Farang? Because farang is not a country. They do say khon Angrit, Khon farangset.....so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
