Something I've just realized! I go for 1 beer to a local bar come restaurant near me before home for dinner. Been going for many years. However since they've been allowed to reopen I've noticed thai people enter sit near to me and, once they realize I'm a farang, quickly depart to the furthest table possible. At first I thought I was being paranoid. After discussing with my thai wife I now know that thai people are shit scared of farang and corvids. This is what Europe has shown to the thai people, we are not careful, responsible law abiding citizens who follow the law. I don't blame them!!
