Sure it happens some everywhere but not with the frequency, extreme violence and murder over the most trivial of things. Thai males are immature, entitled and wound real tight. Behind those fake smiles are powderkegs just waiting to go off. Of course the apologists here will disagree, but my 25+ years here has shown it's the case. Not just on foreigners...but on their own friends, colleagues, coworkers, employers, girlfriends/wives...hell even on their own parents, grandparents, siblings and other family members including their children.
