Farang is simply the Thai equivalent to Caucasian. Farang having its origins in Persian/Arabic, the word can be found in many similar forms in many different countries/languages (farangi/barang etc...)

Thats interesting. The word or its derivitives seems to be quite widespread. In some of the south Pacific Islands (Samoa, Tonga etc) the word for Caucasion is "Palangi".
