On the 24th of February, 2004 a small group of Thai journalists (and one farang), visited the Nikon factory in Ayuthaya, just north of Bangkok.

What's a "farang"?

Ok, thanks for clarifying.  I thought maybe it was some sort of job title, like "... a group of journalists and (some other type of media job), visited the Nikon factory...".
