But got to ask?

What does Farang mean?

Is it a place??

:o

foreigner, not thai

Sometimes Thais are also referred to as falangs if they are only half Thai or even if they are just Thais from abroad. You'll typically only hear this if you're friends with groups that are Thais and "inter" Thais.

:o

maybe i'm wrong, but i've always thought that farang meant westerners, only. for example, a japanese tourist would not be called a farang. please correct me if i'm wrong. thanks.

yeah, it is westerners

Farang = white foreigner
