I've visited Thailand especially Chiang Mai many times but have never lived there; however, I have lived in Malaysia and am an old veteran of SE Asia in general. I have to wonder if Thai men are as deeply insecure as Malay men are south of the border. Thai women are so beautiful, and in Chiang Mai in the service sector the young women are amazingly hard-working and efficient. You may not see that in BKK, I don't know, but I see it every time in CM. Add to that the relative popularity of farang men among some Thai beauties and there's a recipe for disaster. Deep-seated inferiority complex among the local male yokels. I know this is true among Malays. Comments?
