I have listened to Russian honorary consul recently. He told that only 6 Russians are in Thai prisons now, English about 200 etc, American about 100 etc. Can somebody confirm it?

Top Ten as follows:

1. Nigeria : 863 +/- 2000

2. Iran : 233 (but rising fast, could take the number 1 spot in less than a year at current pace)

3. Burmese: 232

4. Cambodian: 231

5. Laos: 230

6: Vietnam : 229

7: Malay: 228

8: Indonesian: 227

9: British: 41,458

10: French: Data not available at this time but our estimates say it has to be less than the Brits.

Farang (faraŋ or falaŋ Thai: ฝรั่ง) is the generic Thai word for a Westerner. A general term for foreigners is "khon tahng prateht (Thai: คนต่างประเทศ)" ('people from other countries'). There is no negative implication in the word itself. However when it is used along with other words, it can bring a negative meaning depending on the context. For instance, "farang keenok (Thai: ฝรั่งขี้นก)" could mean a Westerner who is not trustworthy or reliable. The expression farang ta nam khao ( listen (help·info); Thai: ฝรั่งตาน้ำข้าว literally means "farang with a rice-milk-colored iris"). It is common in Thai to just say "farang" to point out the presence of one, without making a whole sentence. People of African descent from the Western hemisphere have been occasionally referred to as farang dam Thai: ฝรั่งดำ (black farang).^[1] Although, Thai people who have not been in Westerner countries nor exposed to their cultures may still refer to all African descents as Negro (Thai: นิโกร) without negative meanings.

Dumb and dumber

Most Americans are afraid to travel any were outside their country and to Thailand to mysterious for their anal ways. Fewer travellers fewer crimes.

Being an American I am an exception to this rule because I travel to Asia every oppertunity I get

Jesus another brain box

FWIW: In trying to keep this topic from straying as almost all topics do here, I decided to Google this topic anyway, and came up with this website;

http://www.phaseloop.com/foreignprisoners/prisoners-thailand.html

I dunno how accurate the info is, but still the site is a pretty interesting read never the less.

BTW: I am NOT affiliated with the above site and provide it for info only to the O/P's topic.

A significant percentage of farang in Thai prisons are there because of Drug Prohibition. End Drug Prohibition and end the imprisonment for many. Yes, I really could go for that. (I would equally like to free Thais guilty of violating Drug Prohibition.)

This is one of the reasons why the USA is described as an insular Country is the low ownership of Passports.

I believe the figures (I am sure someone can come up with them) are around 30% of the population for USA Citizens who hold Passports and around 90% for British Citizens who hold passports.
