I use it to refer to myself quite often when in Thailand. I grew up, in Australia, surrounded by migrant Aussies and we had many terms for each other, any of which might be meant as an insult or meant with affection. Intent was everything.
Personally I am pretty hard to insult. If someone says something about me that isn't true, eg, "you moron", well, it isn't true so how stupid do they look in my eyes? If they say something negative that is true, well, it's true, so I suck it up. To allow words in someone else's mouth to do me emotional damage, just isn't on the cards. Why allow that?
The person who does not respect me, doesn't, and demanding they not say it doesn't make it any different. I'd rather know, frankly, than have such attitudes to me stay hidden.
I have found Thais, even strangers, (With the possible exception of some taxi drivers.) generally to be pretty helpful and to make allowances for me as a visitor, so I'm happy for the title Farang to also be part of that deal.
Peace,
Mikel.
