Being called Farang, Maksida or Baksida doesn't bother me but it pisses my kids off. In that if 2 Thais go past you you can always be sure one of the above 3 names is going to be used.

Ignore and move on with life.

As I've said "ad nauseum" My identity has been made known to the gaffer of this forum-very nice-stable,rational, man.As for my typographical errors I am blessed with a natural,non-affected, lexicon yet also cursed with being a dullard when it comes to writing down my, for working class and sepo, gargantuan, vocabulary.Normally I curtail my written words but meth really brings out the heavy verbage.I actually owe Ajarnforum.net a debt of gratitude as that places shrill spelling related bullying got my script halfway presentable.Bizarre grammar, again, evil red speed pill related.

Convicts call outsiders, slap heads, smack heads, slope heads, pan heads, and then call the insiders.... Jigaboos, coons and any other good stuff we can come up with.

Nothing to be offended about though,

All uttered in fun.

If we really wanted to be offensive we call someone a,

" Pommy coont. "

No that's fookin hurtful and offensive innit.

Being called a Farang, is small price to pay for the benefit of free 'n easy flange no?

You guys are too sensitive... do you think the chinks walk around contemplating if Thais (or anyone else) refer to them in a derogatory way?

Or what the Chinese refer to the Thais? not exactly complimentary either...

Ermm... nope... they couldn't give a fook...

So get your man bits up some tree monkey - good and proper - as long as she's screaming your name (not Somchais) nor screaming bloody murder, it's all good...

Yes, of course they don't afford foreigners the same respect they give the Thais - why do you think they preface Thai with kun/khun?
i.e. Khun Thai (Thai people) but refer to Indians as tersely "kaak" or whiteys as "farang"... dooh...
or Te meung Thai (Thailand) super polite reference vs simply "America" (rather than te meung America.. or even pratate America 'country America')..

Forgive my horrible phonetic/karaoke translations.. I forgot how the Thais (oops! Khun Thais) spell them...

The indicators are all there when you learn the language that the Thais bias/favor themselves over and above all else...
But in all fairness, most countries do this to some degree

**harrybarracuda** · 11-12-2016, 12:15 PM

I think the OP's Thai isn't good enough. They aren't calling him "farang". They're probably calling him "farang wanker".

**brisie** · 11-12-2016, 12:17 PM

Can't ever recall being called a farang but I used to hear something like key neo baa moa hio a lot leaving the bars in Pattaya

**slackula** · 11-12-2016, 12:29 PM

Is rainman smeg? There are some distinct similarities to that particularly fuck-up.

I'm not so sure.

He thinks he is being called "Farang"

What they are really saying is "What a complete and utter fuckwit of the highest order"

Very easy to get these things mixed up...

I was thinking it reads like SA... not that he'd bother to make another iteration of himself..

just sounds like Seeking, a smidgen...

Thailand... opps.. forgive me, I mean 'Te Meung Thai'

is not the right place for farang who over-think the small stuff...
it's not fair and just.... it's not Kansas sweetheart... go with the flow, Joe...
you have to focus on the positive - eliminate the negative

Trying to change Thai habits, is akin to teaching a cat to bark...save your energy for other endeavors...
and don't let your self-worth be dictated to by anyone... *can I claim that truism as my own?

Yeah having issue with a word that is sreamed by Talibs as they become a modern day companion of the prophet via IED is irrelevant to paraphraze Malcom X "I was referred to by those who knew my name as farang so often by the time I went to school I thought it was my name.

**Loy Toy** · 11-12-2016, 02:15 PM

I've been a farang ever since I set foot in this country.

Never worried me then and certainly does not now.

**Nicethaiza** · 11-12-2016, 02:22 PM

Are you good farang Loy toy?

I try to be fair with most people regardless of where they originate from.

I also suppose living here for half my life without any major problem means I am.

What's your wife's job title... "mia farang"...I must admit I would find that personally irritating but its my hang up and your life so we are all smiles!

^ I get your point, RM... sure, it's not 'fair' or just... but, the pendulum swings back in the Farang's favor on many levels in toyland...

Use their stereotypical thinking to your advantage...

For instance, I used to sell my own brand of skin care serums/creams in Thailand... my clients would make the assumption that as I was a farang, my products would surely be made in farangland (America or NZ, etc)...

Who was I to shatter their dream and inform them that they were actually made by Cosmeceuticals in bangers lol...

Who would be able to charge more for a mince and cheese pie? LT or Somchai?
if LT woke up Thai tomorrow (on a honda wave, with a micro-penis

and spiked hair) ya reckon he could still sell his pies? - (aroi as they may be)...

maybe he could at a severe discount... most Thais will perceive higher quality with Farang goods..

Don't stress the shit you can't change bro.. that's the secret to being happy in Thailand (or anywhere)... Farang kid mak... don't think too much... when in Rome yada yada...

Many Thais also have their stereotype, some will only have half a brain to say ''Poot Thai geng maak, you have Thai GF?'' if you impress them with your basic patter

Just like some ignorant Farangs assume that any Thai girls who talk english well must have fucked a procession of farangs rather than studied it

**jimbobs** · 11-12-2016, 05:16 PM

The next Chinky mother fucker that calls me ferang I am going straight to the police
I am an Anglo Saxon white thoroughbred
It's them nip kids of mine I feel sorry for
Who gives a fuck call me what you want
I will break your jaw or laugh my head off if you're being rude
Let's not get a complex like other ethnicities
I'm a ferang and they are Thais
I know what I would sooner be
It's better than being a cockney

**DJ Pat** · 11-12-2016, 05:22 PM

I love hearing those words ''They all hate us'' from disgruntled farangs that don't seem to get 'accepted' them. What do they expect, a tickertape welcome with union jacks and stars and stripes being flown?

I think to myself ...erm no, maybe it's you, and only you personally...
