Re: Pattaya exPat clubs - PEC, PCEC, ATEC
Thanks maump.
Then perhaps I am an expat foreigner??
The Thais call us "falang", but this definition is based on a temporary timeframe - based on the below definition - as it refers to falang as a caucasion visitor.
What does Falang mean in Thai?
Caucasian visitors
The term 'farang' (often pronounced as 'falang') is a general term used by many Thais when referring to Caucasian visitors. The exact derivation isn't clear with some experts stating that it is a contraction of the Thai word 'farangset' (French) as the French were present in Siam and Indochina in the 17th Century.
