Opinion Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends
I've seen Union Jack rugs! There's not really much point in worrying too much about it. They have this "Thai Supremacy" beaten into them from a young age and they're simply not aware of what they're doing. It is weird that so many foreingers have internalised it, though. -

Opinion Russian Teacher to Thais: Drop ‘Farang’ if 'Ni Hao' Offends
I don't see it as racist but ignorant and disrespectful. They're calling you "foreigner". If you aren't around, and they're talking to another Thai, that's the word used to describe someone born outside Thailand and not Asian. Example. "Today I saw a foreigner walking across the street naked". It's the same as "Today I saw a farang walking across the street naked", Both meaning a foreigner that wasn't Asian. When you're walking down the street, and just going from one place to another, and someone points at you and says "farang", that's ignorance and disrespectful. We've been coming here long before the Vietnam era and aren't aliens from another planet. They teach their children the same thing, which is also ignorant. It's something that in that way needs to change. In the US, we don't point at Thais and say "Thai". We don't say anything unless we want to meet them, where we would say, "Hi, what's your name"? This isn't like calling blacks the N word. That's derogatory, although they do it to each other. Yes, the thinking is still behind here, because old school thinking is still around. I see young ones pointing at me saying "farang' all the time. Adults are the ones who need to stop this, although it's so ingrained in them it will take a long time. -

Report Partial Remains Found in Bangkok Building Collapse; Identification Underway
Understand your point. There might be some good Chinese contractors about of course, but it should be "guilty until proven innocent" on this; they need to be independently checked, and very very thoroughly. And, same goes for all other contractors in an attempt to drive better standards, and to cost fewer lives. -

Report People's Party Plans Bold Legal Move Against Prime Minister
The biggest political setback for the PPP was Thaksin and his cronies instrumental in getting the charismatic Pita barred from politics. I hope they manage some overdue payback with this attack on Thaksin's mouthpiece.
