Why are some Thais in a position of influence so arrogant?

I'm not trying to insinuate that this type of arrogance doesn't happen elsewhere, but this particular incident reveals some rather extraordinary and apparently self entitled behavior on the part of the host of a major international event. Not a good look for Thailand. 

 

Several contestants have walked out of a Miss Universe event after an official from host nation Thailand publicly berated Miss Mexico in a tense confrontation. At a pre-pageant ceremony, Miss Universe Thailand director Nawat Itsaragrisil told off Fatima Bosch in front of dozens of contestants for failing to post promotional content.

 

Some can be heard shouting back at Mr Nawat in the video, after he raises his voice to reprimand Ms Bosch and repeatedly tells her to stop talking.

 

His conduct prompted a stern rebuke from the MUO, which has sent a delegation of international executives to take over running the competition. In a video statement, MUO President Raul Rocha said Mr Nawat had "forgotten the true meaning of what it means to be a genuine host". He said the Thai official had "humiliated, insulted and showed a lack of respect" to Ms Bosch, and committed the "serious abuse of having called security to intimidate a defenceless woman".

The arrogance runs through every aspect of self-important people. You know Doc is God spelled backwards.
