Lots of Thai are non judgmental. Lots of Thai are judgemental. They live in the moment and if the moments news is … things change. I watch people become unfriendly; morning market 2 or 3 times a week, Same for evenings, I can see it.
This sounds far too pollyannish. I know of people who never had an issue here but lost wealth, health & in cases, their life. I accept the fact that it is risky living here, riskier than other countries. However if the government ratchets it up, yes I am seriously concerned.
