HI

For me no big deal it is only a word .

but I am aware many farangs who don't truly understand Thai culture take it as a dis respectful word.
it is no different than westerners calling all asian people" asian" until we understand where they are from .
For most thai's Farang only means none asian. it is not a disrespectful word
to thas's it is only a factual word describing what they see

depending how a word is used and in what context any word can become offensive.

If you are setting somewhere and a busload of school kids come by you will hear shouts of Farang Farang to me " music to my ears."

If you are in tourist area you might hear Farang as a disrespectful word like saying "that stupid Drunk Farang "

Next time you hear the word look for it's true meaning not what you perceive as it's meaning
understand the context of what is being said.
