I think we’re in the same neighborhood. I don’t think you grasped my comment was extremely clear. “In truth Farang is not all inclusive as a translation to Foreigner.”

And now you just basically agreed that what I said is true!

“There’s a bit of racism at its core. 😉”

Calling white people Farang and calling virtually anyone else from somewhere else something else is by definition a form of racism.

That’s not an interpretation.

I remember seeing severe confusion when trying to explain Elon Musk is from South Africa. That is an education thing, clearly.

Anyway, healthy discussion. 👍

no, it’s not my interpretation in any way shape or form. It’s the result of careful questioning over numerous situations. So no. Sorry.

@Michael *******
this is good information to share. Exempt use seems to be very inconstant.

It sounds like you have not had much experience in or around Thailand yet?

Things making sense is more of an anomaly than a standard at times. 🤗

The simplest answer is some people truly have nothing better to do but attempt to push down others because of how miserable they are inside. That’s my simplest answer. 🤷‍♂️

I do believe there is a large amount of more appropriate groups to ask about Bangkok condos. 👍

I have an old 2011 Honda click 110 and I run it at 80+ kph all day long on most stretches of road.

think it needs to be in your local district.

10 days? Never heard that before. My first time there was a wait because it was busy, the next time maybe 20 minutes?
