They must be paranoid. I just saw a bunch of strange farangs in a city outside of Bangkok. One guy gets on a treadmill no shoes at 2kph for 5 minutes. Ups the speed to 3kph for 5. Gets off does 2 sets of arm curls 5kgs only. Walks out. Another hit his toe on weights no shoes then spends 30 minutes complaining. Another gets in lift headphones with army pep talk on. Grunted at me when he wanted some coffee and crossed my path, I held my straight line. There are some very strange farangs in Thailand. Glad to get away from them.

People are strange. So what?

Some people are nice, some are strange.

Yes, sadly so many disrespectful foreigners in Thailand.

The Thai's are the most beautiful, pleasant, friendly people I've ever met.

I think if people started slagging off Australians or older men who pick up young girls, you too might take offence.

So it's not that strange nor weird. A less broad brush might be more effective.

Nope, I see weird foreigners from every country, even Australians at times

What are you going to do about it? All you can do is to set a good example.

The Germans are more polite than many Aussies and they used to be Nazis. So they improved a lot. A lot of Aussies, Brits and French are very rude. Many sit around drinking or smoking with grim looks on their faces.

Avoid them as much as possible or laugh at them when nearby.

I didn't state that you didn't. What I wrote was if people started slagging those group off, you might feel offended. It's only because it's you doing the slagging, that you don't see the issue. But when you are caught in the crossfire, you get really angry. So give others the same leeway. No one is perfect.

An individual is not a country. I would never take offence to anti farang comments cause many are bad.

Quality of life might have something to do with that. I can afford to be nice because I have a nice life.

Other people's mileage may vary.

All we can do is lead by example.

If you can afford a plane ticket, beer and smokes you can afford to be reasonable.

I think it's offensive and it's meant to be offensive. Bad foreigners are bad. That's it. Most are just getting on with their lives best they can and are not getting involved in any criminality.

It is just accurate. Why Thais who work in heavy farang areas are less friendly. They deal with <deleted> everyday.

So? Why waste your life generating negative feelings, even hatred, for people who exist solely in your imagination?

Where are these less friendly Thais? I meet just friendly ones. Are you meeting unfriendly ones?

Most Thais are good people. They are not scumbags like most foreigners.

10 times the farang population rate in Thailand. You obviously don't know anything about Thailand.

No one has been unfriendly to me. Do I need to fabricate a scenario in order to satisfy your misery?

You behave like an idiot. I don't, so get on with everyone.

Only an idiot would claim 100% of Thais are friendly.

You just made that up. Who wrote that, other than you? You behave like a total idiot. Arguing nonsense every single day.

Nobody would believe that. Any Thai can educate you.

You, being one of that number. That's just the way it is. You are who you are. I just have to accept that and you have to accept that people will have a different perspective than yourself.

What I wrote is that no one is unfriendly to me. I didn't write 100% of Thais were friendly. That was a product of your own overactive brain.

You are very strange. Bangkok and Phuket have plenty of unfriendly tuk tuk or taxi drivers. You never met one. Maybe you are a UK troll who visited Thailand once.
