If they're tired of the tourists they could just go home to Issan.

Yes I can, been coming here since 1988. wrong crowds? this bashing happens at all levels of society and all areas of thailand. from ticket officers on the BTS to the waitress and the hotel receptionist.

I think it's the Generals country, and the Thais hardly have any more rights in it than the foreigners.

I rarely have problems with Thais either, apart from immediate family I restrict my interactions with them to simple commerce. What would I have in common with peasant farmers whom left school at age 12?

would you say the same to a person of foreign origin in the UK (or wherever you from). stop using this reverse nationalism, it's getting on my nerves. Nobody has the right to a country just cos they are born there. The world is everybodys in equal measure.

Its called respect for the people, certainly for the country you are visiting, something you seem to show little of.

Again it is THEIR country. Don,t like it there are numerous planes at the airport. More room for those foreigners that enjoy life here.

All Thais rent their daughters out ? I never rented mine out and my family is Thai.

Many do aside of only allowing them to marry the one the mother accept, based on status and wealth only.
Guess that does not count as renting but it is still a form of selling. So many girls with broken hearts over a real love that wasn't accepted by family.

Me neither, I can't imagine a situation where I'd send my 22 year old daughter out to earn some beer money for me.

But her gran sold me her mother for 100,00kbht in a purely financial transaction.

My next door neighbour has been renting his daughter out for years. It's a well known secret in our village. Everyone talks about it. she has given me the eye more than once but I dont s**t where I eat.

I think with all the Thai bashing here answers the OP's comments. The root of most of foreigners problems is THEIR behavior. Seen so many over the years with a scowl that could sink a fleet of ships. Dress like a pig, act like a jerk , hanging with Thai women from the bars, drinking yourself to death, make zero effort to learn Thai might just be the tip of the iceberg as to all your problems

The typical thinking of people living in Pattaya. Come to Chiang Mai and try to find a mother who rents you her daughter. Not easy.

Smile and the whole world smiles with you. Frown and no one gives a SH#T.

[Mansell]

I think a lot of this stuff depends on where you live. I find people here in Korat just fine, mostly pretty friendly. My Thai neighbor Tom comes over with his kid to play table tennis with us. Him and other neighbor brought us some food which we reciprocated. We have only lived here in this house since mid November. Most of the people I deal with in the city in the Malls always friendly to me. It is still the land of smiles for me. Sometimes we need to look in the mirror and see what we are projecting out to the world.....then we will know why we get what we get. Congrats on Liverpool.....seem to be setting new records every week.

You should try Spain! Made 3 trips the last 13 months, and enough is enough! Never go back there. Not only the locals, but the expats there as well,,,,,,,,, who influenced who for this hostile stand off? Spain used to be a poor country, now they just want to <deleted> off everyone back to their home countries. 

 

Found som few places, that still had its charm, but not to many

Thai people are going through a rough time. Please forgive them if you are not "feeling the love". It's posts like this that greatly increase my sympathy for Thai people while greatly decreasing my sympathy for farang expats whose lives here (even with a bad exchange rate) are much better than most Thai people's. Try smiling at other people rather than always expecting them to smile at you.

Another way to look at this.

If they're not shooting you or deporting you, it's small stuff.

Don't act so entitled.

Enjoy each miserable day.

Except if you're in Russia. Smiling at strangers means you're a nutcase at best.
