Sick To Be Called "Farang"

[mightyharriss]

I don´t want to be associated with brits and russians

Too late. By droning on and on about it like a dog worrying a bone, all TVers will now associate you with a certain demographic.

this forumuser person is a complete tool...

Hook, Line and Sinker for forumuser . . . can't you see he was baiting you and you took it,

[BlackArtemis]

and here I am walking around with a shirt that says "Besaat Farang"...

sure? Besaat farang? Should it not be Isaat farang? farang animal..

ai sat

I think the Poster means ประสาท (Prasart) meaning crazy, but the shirt should read ฝรั่งประสาท (Farang Prasart), not the other way around.

I usually ignore the "standard" English phonetics of Thai. As for: ปีศาจฝรั่ง, I would say "besaat farang" or Devil westerner

Old news, most of us know the word does not necessarely mean anything bad, however, for some of us, we simply do not want to be mixed up with, or associated with certain other (farang) nationalities that we consider less sophisticated.

I just tell 'em that they're "Farang" for me too...they get it eventually

When my Thai Mrs stays here in Australia with me I tell her look whos the falung now! she says no not same

Right, because "falang" doesn't mean "foreigner" it means white person. Your Missus hears you saying "who's the white person now," so of course for her its not the same; a "falang" is a "falang" and even in a country different from her own she can never be a "falang" or a "foreigner" for that matter, she is Thai and Thai is Thai no matter where in the world you are (because Thailand is the center of the univers of course); YOU are "falang" and you will always be no matter where you are in the world.

[arminbkk]

I don't mind.

Except when they know my name and they are talking about me when I am standing right by them.

[bermondburi]

They never call me farang or falang, people call me Khun Henry, or Khun if they don't know my name.

And my family call me Khun henry, lung henry, or just Ta. And when people ask where I come from I simply answer Nonthaburi,55555

is 55555 your postcode?

nonthaburi is 11110 postcode.

The explanation is even simpler: most of us dead-heads who prefer to bitch and complain, just love beating a dead horse.

Or . . . not everyone here has been around for ages and/or doesn't read every thread.

I find it odd how people complain about recurring themes . . . if every thread had to be original and never before discussed then TV could shut down.

Simple - if a thread doesn't interest you or you have commented on or read a similar one previously . . . don't read nor comment. Is it really that difficult?

Or drink a lot, so's you forget what's been done before, and what hasn't.

Stop putting your problems on the rest of us, when the solution is in your hands. If you're not happy with the experience, look at it through other glasses...
