Why Do Some Foreigners in Thailand Still Call Other Foreigners “Farang” and is it Cringe?
It doesn't bother me as much as it once did. It's when I for examples: Hear a table full of thais in a restaurant saying bla bla bla farang bla bla bla farang often accompanied by laughter or not that makes me think to myself don't these people have anything better to talk about. Getting in a minivan in issan and standing out like dogs balls. Mum hands phone to toddler who's 30 second conversation to dad on other end goes something like "dad theres a farang in the van". News readers usually use the correct term chao dang chart but when they use farang to me it makes them seem kind of scummy and unprofessional. However to answer the question I agree with ChatGPTs answer below: It is a curious thing indeed! Some foreigners in Thailand call other foreigners farang for several reasons: Assimilation – They adopt local speech patterns after hearing Thais use it often. Convenience – It’s a simple way to refer to other Westerners when speaking with Thais. Jokingly/Ironically – Some use it playfully, aware of its usual context. Exclusionary or Derogatory – Rarely, some long-term expats use it to distance themselves from "tourists" or newcomers. It’s mostly harmless, but how it's said matters! -

Man Stabs Wife 11 Times in Brutal Murder
26 yearr old son still living at hiome, makes me wonder, why? I would hope that the death penalty to some of these murders is actually carried out. A lot of first degree murders occur and I never hear of these murderers actually being killed off, saving the country having to support them while they are in jail. Just my opinion. -

Zelensky - what possessed you?
No hero. A little man whingeing about Biden and Obama. Trump and Vance put the grub in his place. -

Zelensky - what possessed you?
This is for all the right wing supporters of Israel who who back Trump when it comes to Ukraine. "Imagine if, when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel came to the White House this month, Trump and Vance told him that the war with Hamas had gone on too long, too many lives had been lost and it was costing America too much money, so it was time for Bibi and the Israeli people to do a deal with the Hamas aggressor. Because Russia did to Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, what Hamas did to Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 — a surprise invasion, murder and the ensuing sexual violence to wreak destruction on another nation and its society. Trump took Bibi’s side 110 percent against Hamas, and now he is taking Putin’s side 110 percent against Zelensky and Ukraine." https://archive.ph/0R3B0 Actually the case is even worse since, unlike Russia, Hamas never had a chance of destroying Israel
