farang

Farang or Falang
Also 'prang' in the southern Thai dialect

The generic Thai word for specifying a white person or white foreigner

Normally non offensive. Although continued use after knowledge of your name is considered rude.

The origin of the word is still debated.

1) "farang-set" (meaning French/France)
2) the bastardization of the English word "Foreign"

I hate Phuket, there are too many Farang.

I understand why some Thai's hate Farang.

Farang have ruined Thailand.

Farang

A Thai word for a white person or white people, comes from a Persian word that refers to the Frank people.

(There's also a word in Malay which is feranggi)
Actually, this is a neutral word, it's up to the context of a speaker whether it's positive or negative.

The word also means guavas in Thai.

So many Farangs in Isan Region of Thailand have their wives and children since the end of Vietnam War.

farang

Farang is what people in Thailand call westerners as a sign of how much they hate them. Like the Chinese blaming everything from the Opium War in 1840 on gweilos, the Thais blame all of the problems in their country on farangs. While taking their money and marrying off their poor and unwanted divorces to stupid faring, they laugh at them behind their back and discriminate against them in every way such as through "two-thirds pricing". Farangs are always associated with the Patpong hooker district of Bangkok and marry bar girls.

Thai sez to farang: You foreigner, you pay double price!!

Farang-trailer

When you see an old, white baldy pushing a shopping cart behind his young Thai wife who's shopping in the nearest asian supermarket because she won't eat American food.

Look at that sad, old farang-trailer with his little trophy wife.
