Very interesting question...

Here in Thailand you often hear about expats but the term immigrant is rarely used, of course the Thai people use the word farang to identify foreigners.

Perhaps the geographical location has something to do with it.

I suppose technically the term immigrant would apply to me but for some reason the immigrant/expat scene here in Thailand always uses the term expat.

People get upset about the English word, and then don't give a shit that the country you live in just calls you "foreigner" regardless of how long you live there.
