Of course, it depends how it is used. Quite a coincidence that chart mentioned the word, <em>kee nok</em> or <em>khee nok</em> (birdshit). I remember hearing a Thai kid say once "farang khee nok." Apparently, the term was used with some regularity, which I didn't know. I forgive them anyway. I love the Thais. I never considered the word farang to be an insult when I lived in Bangkok 1975-1978.

I truly appreciate it. From now on I will tell my friends that if they want to see "some farangs" being obsessively paranoid, or feeling persecuted they should use the word more often when they chance upon foreigners.
