Interesting thoughts/comments.
I originally came here, holidaying with a mate, nearly 20 years back.
We both probably thought ourselves "superior" and (without realising) insulted some locals in Pattaya.
Cut to today.
Me, married & 11 years living here. Wife 6 years younger.
Mate still visits his 31 year younger mistress.
He still calls Thai's "stupid."
I appreciate many are uneducated.
I learn't a long time ago there are many people in my village who may be uneducated but they are far from stupid.
I'm past insulting others (hopefully.)ππ
