Being white farang and having lived in Thailand for 6 years now I immediately got what he was saying.

Maybe you should consider you might not have the full context of the conversation instead of launching into a rant.

The farang only for white people is something that just comes up here sometimes. At one point we tried to get the Thai colleagues to call black expats "farang dam". Didn't catch on haha.

Foreigner tax is the correct way to call it because pricing in national parks is tied to citizenship not race

I'm also scratching my head as to what was confusing about what I said. Boggles the mind. I can only assume English isn't their native language.

So you lived there for 6 years and didn’t require clarification? Are you impressed by your own comprehension?

I am not.
