My view is if you cannot stant people calling you what they usually call foreigners it may be time to head back to your county. If you cannot take the heat stay out of the kitchen. Si vous ne pouvez pas supporter la chaleur , se sortir de la cuisine

1/Your French sucks " Sortez (not sortir)

2/ Your English is not better, especially in reading :Did I say I could not stand anything ? Nope

So ............ Next

To the OP ... you speak about the word Farang as if it's an insult ... and rest assured, it is simply a descriptor and a small compliment.

Oh gawd...here we go again...A few years ago I worked with quite a highly educated Thai lady engineer and i ask her this exact question and dependent on the context it could be taken as a lighted hearted joke or intended as an insult,

I have had many highly educated Thais tell me just the opposite, including Thai professors of English. If they say (in Thai) stupid farang it is an insult, if they just say farang it means white person - which is not an insult.

So why was he repeating over and over louder and louder closer and closer, eying at hisgrandma and gigling everytime ?

Without getting involved in a debate as to whether or not the word farang is an insult or not, I would say it's fairly clear the grandma was at least trying to annoy the OP by getting the kid to continuously shout the word at her. I believe the OP is French, if a westerner repeatedly shouted "French person" at her I'm sure it would also be annoying.

But she isn't being called a foreigner!

Kon Dtaang Chaat is foreigner .............

This is more like a black person being called the N word in America.

Hang on I thought Farang WAS foreigner ?

From the title I was expecting this to be a question such as how many clowns can you take in VW beetle . and I was all prepared with my facts, How big a farang? did they bathe regurlarly ? etc.

Imagine my disappointment when I found out it was about an obnoxious brat and a grandparent unable or unwilling to control himsad.png

I guess we have never seen that in any country before.

no in UK or France or any other country I have never seen parents telling kids to call Foreigners foreigners over and over

Is this a case of a xenophobic kid? or is it a case of a kid misbehaving, and if it is a kid misbehaving, have you not ever seen one of these anywhere else before?

its not the kid

its the grandma telling him to do that

I usually reply, Farang yuu nai which badly translated ( I am partly deaf and tone deaf) comes out to my ears as where is the farang.

It tends to confuse Thais a bit.

Other than that I really don't bother about it.

Busted!

only children and unintelligent rural thais are going to be doing the thing where they point at you and say farang with a huge grin. don't worry about it so much. for the children, just engage them. for the toothless locals, just smile back. Sometimes I like to make funny facial expressions at them when they are piled up in the back of a pick up truck but my wife made me stop saying these types can go off easily.

All thais hate you, including the kids, the dogs the mosquitos and the ants.

It's part of the culture.

Christ. It's a little kid, just say hello and wave at him or ask him what his name is or something. The granny probably just wants him to be friendly and try talking to a foreigner which he may have never done before. If all else fails call him saparot which should get a smile or laugh out of them.
