Just read a page on FB, and some of the comments are dramatic to say the least, though seems,some farangs are being victimised after the health ministers comments, about farang.
Anyone Finding Bad feelings towards you, in cities or villages ?

Seems the FB post, is total poppycock.
Only from the Junta.
Nope, none of the Thais here could give a hoot in hell.
Not seen a jot of recent anti-foreigner (at least white 'farang') prejudice personally. At least not more than normal, anyway.
Everyone wearing masks, observing the recent protocols and behaving in a decent manner, so far where I am.
^Rayong and environs.
Nothing up North here. Life as normal. But if you go out without a mask people do call you on it. But that's Thai or anybody. Nothing foreigner specific
...utter indifference to my obviously spectacular presence...as if locals suffer from a cultural blind spot...
Nope, the Thais here are well behaved
I think the Thais fear and distrust their elites more than they do us farangs.
But it cannot be proven since any demonstration of this is a criminal offence; or of course that could be the proof.
anyone with functioning ears and who can understand vernacular thai will be well aware that there is a definite undercurrent of bad feeling towards foreigners, especially since the start of the coronovirus epidemic and the shameful comments of the government minister.Anyone Finding Bad feelings towards you, in cities or villages ?
this is different from the usual negative comments and criticisms muttered under the breath and heard when checking ones change after a market transaction, totting up the bill in a restaurant or giving a tip that the recipient considers insufficient.
i am talking about bangkok and central hua hin. i suspect attitudes may be different in smaller communities where ones face is known.
as a pudee angrit and suphaarp buruut i of course am rarely subjected to such intolerable abuse, but regularly hear it directed at others, many of whom it must be said are more than deserving of the insults they attract.
'Tis all make believe.
Perpetuating the already firm myths and legends.
Next...
Yeah the Thai's at work definitely don't like that I don't wear a mask.
I dunno penny-pinching tightwads are pretty much universally loathed aren't they... Except by other tightwads of course.Originally Posted by taxexile

you telling me that your wife never checks the change when shopping or the bill in a thai restaurant?
The topic is 'hostility toward falang', my wife is Thai.
Doesn't really include you either as an Asian man.
