Opinion Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends
Stop being such a god damn snowflake. Honestly, some people just spend all their time looking to be offended by something. -

Opinion Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends
People cite this as a definitive source, but it should be noted that: 1. This dictionary was published 26 years ago. 2. The definition research may have been done up to 10 years or longer prior to the publication date. 3. Dictionaries are not infallible, and many Thai-English dictionaries offer only limited nuance and fall back on dated entries with little effort to update contemporary usage. The linguistic resources available to compile fully nuanced Thai bi-lingual dictionaries , even at the highest levels, have sometimes fallen short of what one might expect. 4. Anybody who speaks Thai well will tell you that the term is colloquially and routinely applied to Westerners in general and its usage is not limited exclusively to white people. 5. I am confident that these colloquial and nuanced usages will be incorporated into future Thai dictionaries, hopefully resolving this godforsaken debate once and for all. -

I always thought it is a variation of "I love you" when my wife says it to me. 😆 -

Teenage German tourists handcuffed and deported from Hawaii over ‘suspicious’ hotel booking
Oh come on! He doesn't have time to fly to Hawaii. He's too busy playing golf and writing and publishing messages to his Truth social media platform. -

Opinion Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends
No, he is not right! The first caucasians Thais came in contact with were the French. The Thai word for France is prathet farangse, which is were the word farang comes from and it literally just means white person. If that’s offending to you then you’re the problem. It’s that simple. Also, you can’t really complain about being called farang for full ten years when you could have just told them to use your name instead. Have you done that?
