OPINION — This piece of paper was given to me while I was out flat hunting.
The lovely people working at Baan Chao Phraya Condo showed me a few apartments, and eventually gave me this list of available units. I noticed the odd remark immediately.
I’ve heard of apartment owners denying people rental contracts on the basis of race in other South-East Asian cities, but I had never experienced it in Bangkok. I have since found out that it really isn’t an uncommon occurrence here. Indians (and brown people in general, or “Khaeks,” like me), bear the brunt of this phenomenon.
Luckily, I didn’t like the apartment.
I also would prefer not to have a racist asshat as a landlord, to be perfectly honest......
