			<link>http://news.farangthai.com.au</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>We are pleased to announce that we have successfully registered Farang Thai <sup>&reg;</sup> as a trademark here in Australia.</p><p>By registering our trademark we not only hope to protect our name but also demonstrate our ongoing commitment to provide Thai learners products well into the future.

			<title><![CDATA[Farang Thai Forum Closed]]></title>
			<link>http://news.farangthai.com.au</link>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>We have decided to close the Farang Thai forum after little activity over the past few months. Unfortunately forums continue to attract spammers who are only interested in posting ads to their dodgy web sites. Monitoring and maintaining the forum therefore becomes more problematic than it's worth.</p>
<p>Instead we have now moved our online store to the location of the old forum. So now instead of visiting <span style="font-weight: bold;">www.farangthai.com.au/shop/</span> to buy our products online, you can now simply visit <span style="font-weight: bold;">www.farangthai.com.au</span>.</p><p>We apologise the our genuine forum users and thank you for joining our site.</p>]]></description>
