I had a similar experience in 7/11 a few weeks ago. A young boy around 6 or 7 saw me walk in and pointed at me shouting Farang Farang. I looked at the mother and shook my head. With a nervous and embarrassed smile she ushered the boy away. She knew it was unacceptable but had still allowed her son to grow to the age of 6 or 7 thinking it was ok. As I say, it’s not their fault. Ignorance is no excuse but I can’t blame them. I pity them for growing up in such a backward and globally unaware country. A shake of the head usually is enough to make them feel embarrassed without confrontation. 

You guys worry about everything.............relax, enjoy life!

 

That wouldn't bother me in the least, in fact, it would prompt me to interact with the kid when I probably wouldn't have 

 

I think it is rude when an adult refers to you as farang in person, as in speaking about you to others

 

But a kid getting excited to see a farang?..............you guys much have a lot less to worry about than I do 5555
