Farangsayt shortened = farangGuess wrote: The explanation I have heard for the use of the word Farang in Thai is that most of the Caucasian people that Thais first encountered were French and that Farang is justa corruption of Farancee.
Historical accounts of Thailand do not back this theory up however.
The French were late comers on the Thai scene being preceded by Portugese, Dutch, Germans, British and Italians.
I would also like an explanation of why in Lao a Caucasian is referrred to as Buksida. What is the origin of that word.
Most guidebooks seem to put that viewpoint forward. It makes sense to me because although the French were not the first, alongside Britain they were certainly the most dominant European colonial power in mainland South-east Asia for a couple of hundred years, with their territories in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
Isn't use of Buksida to describe caucasians simply a Thai play on words? The fruit 'farang' being known as 'buksida' in Lao. I think Oe has put this forward in the thread above.

Farang = Farangset = France = white european men
also the arabs call the white man farang (in old times)
dark skin people are no farang
people from india also no farang
al this before the "ami" ruled the world

Farang (Thai:½ÃÑè§) , sometimes pronounced falang, is the generic Thai word for a white foreigner. It is closely related to the Khmer word Barang. Africans or African-Americans will be occasionally referred to as farang dam (black farang). While generally farang is a neutral word, it can be used as an insult depending on its context. For instance, the expression "farang ta nam khao" (literally means farang with rice-milk-colored iris) would be considered an insult.
Farang is also the Thai word for the guava fruit, which of course can lead to "farang eating farang" jokes from Thai people when eating a guava in Thailand. Stingy or unruly foreigners can therefore also be referred to as kee nok (bird shit), which is the name of a particular variety of guava. Maan farang are potatoes, hence the similar joke "Farang gin (eat) maan farang". And stranger still, mak farang is chewing gum.
In the Isan language, the guava is called mak seeda, which can thus also be used to refer to a farang.
This word is borrowed Persian word Farang which means Frankish. Another explanation is that it derives from farangset, which is the Thai pronunciation of Français, the French word for 'French' or 'Frenchman'. France was one of the first European nations to establish cultural ties with Thailand, in the 17th century, so to Thais at that time, 'white man' and 'Frenchman' were synonymous. Others say that in Ayutthaya period, land was given to the Portuguese merchants to conduct their business at "Baan Farang" (Guava Village).
Farangi in Persian language refers to foreigners. In Tamil ( a Dravidian language spoken in southern tip of India) the word Parangiar (presumably because Tamil does not have a letter sounding 'F') refers to the Europeans, most specifically the British. Many South Asian languages have this word to denote foreigners.

In answer to Mrs Magoo's question.
Leaving aside what has been psoted above. I believe that she said in another post that she was visiting in July.
At that time of the year you may find jelly fish off the beach, where, when, what type and how many depends very much on tides and, it seems, the amount of rain there has been. If you have young children it might be best to check the sea before letting them charge in.
