This is meant to be a grab bag type of topic.

 

Perhaps think of it as an airing of the grievances.

 

It's no secret anymore that there is a wave of anti-western xenophobia happening in Thailand that's inspired by understandable fear of the virus and sadly also understandable human nature of seeking out scapegoats.

 

We've heard the news.

 

A minister complaining about lack of mask wearing among farangs, farangs being dirty and not showering.

 

Passport checks at a certain bank to enter if you're a westerner and even a report of being banned from entering.

 

Government office policy of needing to prove you're not a recent tourist.

 

This is surely the tip of the virus xenophobia iceberg!

 

Ironically and equally sadly in the west it's Chinese and general Asian people having similar experiences.

 

But this topic is about our experiences as westerners in Thailand.

CLOSED.
