What does the term 'farang' mean and how is it perceived by different ethnicities in Thailand?

Robert ********

why would you want to be sarcastic at the expense of degrading Thai women? I am more interested in your logic arriving at what particular reason?

not seen anything from that person yet?? I just asked who makes you feel excluded that’s all. I was waiting for your opinion on who is American but guess you are not interested in answering. You are getting desperate now and accusing me of all sorts of things so what’s with the ‘peace’? You sound confused so best left alone.

what is my view? What view have I expressed that is dying out? You are just firing random shots for some reason. If you are not prepared to expand on things you post then just say so. Don’t hide behind make believe articles you have read.

you just couldn’t help yourself could you? Also, you can’t answer the question can you? Despite all of your educated reading and googling? You are the defensive aggressive one. No wonder you have strange encounters.

because there are at least three terms being used and some people in the discussion claim culture as an excuse. Some are confused as to a collective term being used as a personal term. If you are confused then no need to comment really. Just move on.

Well this is a thread about who is a farang and who is not a farang. Also is this a derogatory term. Knowing the answer confirms my opinion of the terms Thais use to identify people.

So you speak for ‘most Thais’? How do you know my experience? I don’t need to man up I just call them terms they don’t understand and definitely wouldn’t like if they understood. You sound ‘uneducated’ and if you don’t understand that then time for you to man up.
