I don’t know about that. The Japanese don’t seem to be causing as much trouble as we do for example.
You don’t really see the Japanese walking around the tourist traps hand in hand with a little brown tattooed hooker as if it is true love dressed like a dirtbag starting fights with bouncers.
Or Russians, or Chinese for that matter.
There is cultural differences.
The question is do Thais see us as superior to the others the way we see ourselves.
