I guess it all depends on the individual Peter but I've met many who think they're superior.

I am retired and have lived here approaching 10 years. I still love it BUT....there is a sense that Thais believe themselves to be a superior race. As an example. I was invited by a friend to a land deal, 40million baht. I sat silent throughout then after the deal was struck, the purchaser said in Thai " why are farangs so stupid"? I then spoke in Thai and asked him why he thought farangs were stupid? I continued and added there are clever people and stupid people in every country. His jaw dropped and he responded in English " you speak Thai" to which I replied I understand enough......

Thais don't actually bleach their skin. They use products called whitening creams which is nothing more than sun block in my opinion.
