@yourhelper finds your article very interesting. While you were in thailand, thinking back now, what was your impresion of the country. How does an average thai person see her visitor especially people of different colour? Are there stereotype that is prevalent and an intending visitor should be aware of?
I really love thailand thats why i went there twice already.
When I think back to it I always remeber the beautiful landscapes and beaches first.
Most Thais are really friendly and open towards visitors. As long as you respect their culture and social norms, which one should do anyway.
If you go to the less touristy places you can be somewhat of an attraction as a European and some people will want to take pictures with you. But dependig on where you go you might not even meet that many Thai people who you interact with closely.
And i can´t think of any important stereotypes one should be aware of, jus be friendly and respectful and one should be fine.
There are a lot of travelers in Thailand so the Thais are used to it. Also there is a good infrastructure for travelers which makes it easier.
Thanks for your reply...
