I'm Thai and I don't call Black people "Fa-rang". I do call them "kon dam" which means "black man"
Chinese = kon-chine or Jeg
Japanese = kon-yi-poon or Yoon
Arabian = kon-arab or Khaek

Farang, if they know he is from the west. If they are pointing him out they will refer to him as a black man. Thai's are not prejudice the just say what the see and know

Pretty much what was said above: "black people" or sometimes "*****" - and this is NOT a racist are prejudicial remark. It is just the way people say it in Thailand.

This covers people who are of black African decent even if they are American and speak English. People might called them "Kon dum jark America" literally means "Black person from America"

They are just litterally called "black people" = "kon dum"
Farang is only used for white westerners.
Other asian races are called by their race, ie kon Lao (Laos), Yiboon (Japanese), Jeen (Chinese), Kaowlee (Korean)

Farang, too. Now is more generic to cover any visitor to Thailand.

i've got purely generally happening one African American in my existence. He replace right into a white immigrant from South Africa. Black individuals who call themselves African individuals are very ignorant human beings.

"Kon pew si dam"
kon = people
pew = skin
si dam = the colour black
or "kon dam" for short.

Chinese - kon Chine
Japanese - kon Ippun.
