After watching a fight on australian tv about aussies being bashin in a white room club in patong then walking around patong myself and noticing increases agressions towards farangs in the area.

3 am walk last night and First thing was a fist fight on bungla between 3 drunk thais and two drunk farangs, then on the way home constant harassment and touts from arragant tuk tuks and motobikes and one street worker sayed as i walked past her "u want problem?" i ignored and kept my mouth .

Its a back lash against Aussies robbing Thai banks with plastic guns

Perhaps "the locals" have had enough of beer swilling lager louts abusing everything and everyone around them because they have a little money and an inflated superiority complex and expect them to bow and scrape before them.

Is it a case of the Thais have changed because of the way the "tourists" behave and treat them, most probably.

I would surmise its a combination of lower income with higher debts, and badly behaved tourists ,

by the look of it last night and the few nights bfore alot of the more down to earth quite humble thais have mostly left whilst the hardened thais have stayed,.

1) thais to thais the same

2) farangs to farangs the same

3) not only in cowboy/nana , beachroad-pattaya or bangla in pukhet but everywhere (also in issaan)

just one question : who came the first ? the egg or the chicken ?

If a foreigner came to your home country and starting acting like drunk yobbos thinking they own the place and disrespectful, wouldn't you be fed up and have antipathy towards them?

Yes.

There is no way the village layabouts can make enough to stay dopped up or drunk at todays cost . the locals know where to look when they get into the petty theft racket. next stop big city they are not known and either joim a like minded gang or if tough enough start their own. xome are successful and go on to bigger and more luctative scams, usually wiyj a godfather backing and taking much of the procides. Thats my humble explanaqtion for much of the agressive attitude / behavior we are encountering in the growing big cities. The early morning hours are not known for police presence so these little sh.ts have made given areas their personal sandbox

just go to a small village lost in the middle of the rice fields , never go out after the sunrise, and please, not forget this :
