i been asking my thai girlfriend and thai friends what is "Farang" mean when i 1st attempt in thailand, they told me "Farang"="Foreigner". because thai people always pronounce "Foreiger" in "Farang", after for long time, people will use to it and call "farang"="foreigner". therefore when they call you "farang", that is not mean any rude, bad or impolite to call you. if you dun mind people call you "foreigner" , and do you mind people call you "farang" ?

Oh dear god, not again. We've just been through this.

I would say your question is probably answered in the 440+ replies to the current topic Farang Impolite. Personally I can't be bothered to read it all and I don't care if they call me farang because I think the majority mean no malice by that term.

Are you here for good or going back to the other "farang"?

Hmm..appearently that 18 pages of posting at the other thread ( and still going i guess) is not enough.

Im not caucasian , at all... but when i started talking then everybody knows Im not Thai..(maybe cuz of my eyes? dunno, never think about it )

Then they always refer me as Farang...So I guess for some Thai ppl , you dont have to be Caucasian to be called Farang..

I dont care whether they call me falang , or my nationality... Its how they say foreigner.

I was about to take a nap actually but realised I had work left to do, tammai ja, teacup miss her farang already?

Agree with above.

Im asian canadian and they still call me farang. Once in awhile I get khon yipon but usually farang.

Unless its said with malice, it simply means foreigner which is what I am.

No problems with it and as I posted elsewhere its ALOT better then being called GOOK in a country only afew hours flight from LOS.
