    Alternately, Paul M. Handley is a more balanced read on the 'situation'

    Tell me more about 'ultra-Royalist' - seriously - I need to learn this stuff more.

But they do look happy...maybe maths class was cancelled for the day. These modern classrooms do look weird, you'd think it was a knock-shop or something!

    It may interest you to know that the constituency I lived in, back when there was a Vote, had a Democrat MP- and that Ubon Ratchathani province voted in MP's from four different parties- which makes it the most electorally diverse province in Thailand. Don't believe the yellow bullshit.
    Never having lived there (only visits via main airport), I will have to take your word for it.

    Maybe you just dont like 'royalists' and so they dont like you?
    Or perhaps you can tell someone is a 'fascist' just by looking at them.
    They must have just loved the look of you in rural parts of Ubon.
    Ubon (Red) to East-Pattaya (Yellow) - quite a change - still adjusting?

    ^ yeah, the whole piece really is complete nonsense.


    The chewed-up and spat-out buy into it though.

    The further you get away from Bangkok and the big cities, the more 'xenophobic' Thais tend to become.

    No matter where the word comes from, its use in Thailand seems to me to be both neutral and negative by Thais.

    In my experiences it is both their generic term to 'neutrally' describe someone from a western country, and also an insult when spoken in a certain way/tone. I have had the word spoken to me in both the neutral and negative way - but never as a positive. Thais generally see their own culture and people as 'better' than western (or Asian neighbors), and I have no heard it used as a positive when describing a westerner.

    I know the 'official' origins of the word as per Wikipedia, and no Thai I have spoken to is sure of where it came from, but it would not also surprise me if part of its origin is the attempt by Thais to say the word 'foreign'.

    I know some guys who view it use as a negative and feel insulted when they hear it. By from my experience it is mostly used in a neutral sense, and is not often used as any form of insult or in a negative sense. The further you get away from Bangkok and the big cities, the more 'xenophobic' Thais tend to become. But, I know some guys in remote villages and once everyone got to know them, they started to be treated equally and politely. And that politeness tended to then be shown to other 'farangs' that come to visit them. I assume 30 years ago it was very different, but these days many Thai villages have their 'own farang'.

    The funny thing is that I hardly ever meet these people in real life. It is almost always on the Internet. However, back in the early 90s, there was a guy we called "The Complainer". All he did was complain about everything Thai and we could never figure out why he did not just go back to America. Other than that, he was OK, but we were having the times of our lives, so not very sympathetic.
