Green'ed Timber - nice contribution.

I am not in a relationship with a Thai, but I can imagine if I would slag off or complain about my wife's ethnic group too much (I do allow myself rants about their driving, not the Kiwi side, the other part of her) she would be quite rightly upset.

Also, I am not sure I would stay in a country that bothers me so . . . hence our leaving Thailand.

My two cents worth about Thais in general is also rather more negative than positive, which is a shame as we did meet some lovely people (some of whose relatives shafted us, much to their chagrin and embarrassment)
I would also share this feeling with others, though in a slightly more diplomatic manner.
