I've been traveling to Thailand for the past 36 years so please don't tell me I know nothing about Thailand, I was probably going to Thailand before you were born
how can it be my problem when I hear Thai ladies call a black American "Chocolate man" the fact you have never experienced racism doesn't mean it doesn't exist, that's like saying you have never had cancer so it must not exist
The best advice I can give you is there is an American guy called Paul Lee he's on YouTube, he can answer 80% of your questions reach out to him he's very knowledgeable good luck
